Division 1 Report

Tonight was another great night of racing in D1. Tonight was the night for trying out new or different equipment. Adventuruss decided to try racing with the wheel for the first time in months and impressed as usual with his speed. Sadly he struggled a bit with consistency but still ended the night with a win and a pole. Nic-kl had his usual tv go out on him and so was playing on something that cavemen made apparently. I think once the candle went out on him and he missed a braking point but otherwise it went unnoticed by the rest of us. Owens was trying out his new load cell this week and put it to good use pulling off an impressive win in the first round in the karts along with a blinding fast 36.326. For myself it was the transition back to Gt5 and my usual rig at home. All in all it was a great night of racing in D1 with the win being determined by a point. Looking forward to next week as always. C.Hill out.

Also replays uploaded and all data entered.

Are you really saying that Adventuruss was driving with a sixaxis during all this time ?

Good racing Edwin!

 

[SoCalRacer310]

We talked about this possibility with you earlier in the week.

yea and then i got a pm saying i should race in d5

 

[hooker4]

If people need a way to earn credits quickly I can share my way of how I get credits! I do like the Monday notice idea, it would definitely be a great way to get a variety of cars!

Please share Im interested

 

[hooker4]

Quick question. What is a load cell I hear you guys talking about?

 

[Dragonwhisky]

It's an electro-mechanical device that makes the brake pedal on sim rigs feel more like the hydraulic actuator (brake pedal) in real cars.

How I make money quick in GT5!!!!
I have 2 ways of making money quick both require at least a 170% increase in credits, both are seasonal and hardly require any work. The first is the 500pp classic muscle car championship at daytona, I use a fully untuned and scaled back(ecu 50% and 200kg of weight added) gt40 '69(standard and won on Indy 500 b-spec 2hour 15min race with any x1) Will average about 500k from this seasonal race and takes about 5 min, this race is a lower pp car gives more money so feel free to experiment. This race is a bit hard if you crash though, so thank god were S.N.A.I.L. and were all clean racers. Just watch out for the corvette up front he gets away fast but you should be able to pass him on lap 4 if everything goes all right!

My other is online b-spec seasonal #5 on autumn ring(500pp) I use a lotus 111r tuned up to 500pp and usually takes about 7.5 to 8 minutes with a reward around 800k per race!!! Its good to pay attention to the race but sometimes not needed if your driver is good enough.

Have fun bringing home the bacon!!!

Ohhhhhhh

I can make 10 million in about an hour so raising the limit is fine with me. I would even be OK if it was raised across the board. Having to make the pick by a certain time and having a different limit for a different prize just seems like it would overcomplicate the whole process.

Right, because you were still assigned to D5 at the time. There was no way to predict how many would show up in D5 last night, so the plan was for you to jump into the D4 lounge for an "instant" promotion if D5 reached capacity.

In any case, looks like you ended up joining the D4 lounge because of the space limitation in D5. As I said would be the case if this happened, you are now officially promoted to D4 and should race in that division going forward.

kcheeb, can you please update the driver list to reflect this change?

 

[zer05ive]

A few things to consider. This change would only mean that 4 new premium cars could be chosen.

1. Alfa zagato - 10,000,000
2. Ferrari F 10 - 10,000,000
3. Citroen GT race car - 5,600,000
4. Mazda 787b - 5,260,00


So it is not like this opens up a whole lot of cars. If you include possible standards the total cars is only 8 and the four additional cars are all less than 5,750,000

Seeing as how you can earn 5 million in 5 - 20 minute b spec races I do not see this being a hard ship.

Thanks for that list, joby! Now we know what options are available if we raised the capt to $10M. Not as many cars as I would have guessed, but still very interesting..

Is your method different than bandit's? If not how do you do it? Sharing is caring!

sounds great. thanks again. any chance i can get last place pts for both races in round one since i couldnt get in.

 

[JLBowler]

My method involves running the front wheel drive seasonal from way back on Cape Ring. I can use a car that's way down on PP and earn 1.7 to 1.8 million per race with the 200% bonus (it depends on the car). It takes right at 11 minutes a race.

Worked great:tup: Thank you my friend

 

[Handlebar]

The German Touring Championship is about $1.1-$1.3 million for 2 laps at Saarthe, go down about 100 PP, ignore the chicanes, blast the Esses, and play a little Intimidator or Mad Max on the Straights. 8-9 min, I believe.

Seasonal B 5, the 500 PP is cake on the standard car Amuse S2000 R1 '04. Threw on the extra parts, but no engine or chassis mods, wins it going away when I do laundry, honey-do's, etc. 7:45 for 860,000 like clockwork.

 

[OwensRacing]

Zero,


Just inform everyone to grind and get the

XJ13, Lamborghini Muira, Alfa TZ2, and GT by Citroen purchased with in X amount of time cause those cars we be available after that.

Hey guys back to the wheels again! Where is the best online to buy a wheel from? Ive never bought anything on ebay before and quite frankly it scares me to buy from anywhere but an actual store. I also read alot about mods and different wheel and pedal combos. With the cheaper wheels can you use other pedals. Im buying some kind of setup from somewhere this week, so I promise I will quit asking after that.

 

[Schmiggz]

I hear you hook, online shopping is something that still scares me a bit. The stories i heard about credit card mishaps mskes me keep gping to the good old store.
Curiosity: Does anyone knows what happened to 2armedMen? I haven't seen him for a while now!

 

[TMoMoney]

Seasonal events are the quickest ways to earn credit and experience.

I like Amazon myself because their customer service seems to be excellent. Ebay is safer than it seems also. I sold something through Ebay once and the way it works is Paypal holds your money until the other person confirms they have the item and possibly for a day or two more in case you decide to return it. I wouldn't buy through any random site that you've never heard of personally.

As far as the different wheels and combos here's my .02. You can go fast with any of the good wheels out there. A stock g27 or DFGT is just as capable of winning as a t500 with a load cell. The difference is sort of the language that it speaks. What I mean by that is if a load cell speaks the same language as your foot you'll be faster than if your foot speaks Japanese and the pedals only understand English. For me I think I speak in many different tongues as a driver but the one I speak best so far is T500 with a load cell.

So what I suggest is just try what you can afford and see if it speaks your language. If not either learn it's language or get a translator.

I purchased my G27 wheel from Amazon. $249 which included shipping. But that was over a year ago. I did get extremely lucky one day I was wandering around in Sears and noticed that there was a G27 wheel on their clearance shelf, box unopened, sealed, for $149. I purchased it on the spot! That was a fluke and I really doubt you will find a store that you can walk into that carries them. Best Buy usually stocks the DFGT wheel for $139. But if you want a G27, Amazon, in my opinion, is the safest place to buy online.

 

[hooker4]

Alright fellas. I appreciate all the help and im heading to amazon. Hopefully the dfgt speaks my language hill. Lol. Thanks for everything guys.
