New update available to download. 270MB in file size. Brings the New Peugeot Vision GT car and the Nissan GTR-LM car, version 1.19

The start of June brings a fresh new GT6 update, version 1.19, available now as a 270MB download. Although it doesn’t bring any new game features, it does bring two highly anticipated cars – including one of the most intriguing new race cars to come along in quite some time.

Peugeot’s beautiful new Vision GT concept – with its 1:1 power-to-weight ratio – is finally available in GT6! It’s powered by a turbocharged V6 3.2L engine producing 875hp and weighs only 875kg, which allows it to accelerate from 0-100 kph in 1.73 seconds.

You can purchase the car in the Vision GT area of “My Home” in GT6, or win it in the game by competing in the car’s special new Seasonal Event, which will be available for a limited time.

Will get the Nissan after competing in round 4 of GT Academy.

Edit: The Peugeot VGT car is insanely fast and have to get a gold in 1:30:000 or under on Tokyo R246 Forward.

A few pictures from Division 2 action last night. I wonder why they call it a "Z" if "Stingray" would have been more suitable....

Spoiler: More Z pack racing

Lancia on Monza 80s

Random question: Anybody like the band Gentle Giant?

How old are you DP? gentle Giant was one of my favorite bands back in the day, saw them live, an experience never forgotten. Nice to see young guys getting into ProgRock. How about bands like Dream Theatre, Dixie Dreggs,Liquid Tension Experiment and the late great Frank Zappa. I love music you cannot dance to.

 

[STEAMER62]

great Frank Zappa. I love music you cannot dance to

haha @Mike Lobban , wild times, loved that late flower power music and be sure we danced to it

Spoiler: Muffin Man looool 1977

 

[NoSkill2Kill]

Wow, thanks to everyone in D4 for the warm welcome on my first night. What a great bunch of guys, the community here never fails to impress.

I did my best to honour the rules, but still getting used to racing this close with real competition. If anyone has any suggestions or observations, please message me, I am open minded and looking to improve.

Really looking forward to next Sunday now.

Cheers to all,

I suggest you to SLOW DOWN! One whole lap behind you in Le Mans trying to catch you and just wasn't possible

D2 data is in.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

D2 data is in.

That was quick. Since we're between seasons, I hope the rest of you Data Specialists follow turnup's example here so we can set May to rest and wake up June.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I'm26 but i have an older brother and good friends. I love the self titled and three friends albums

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I'm not really into prog rock, just found Gentle Giant and liked their experimentation

Krueger Tuned Racing

Optima Batteries ChumpCar World Series
at
Watkins Glen International​

Watkins Glen, NY - On a weekend when many are remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces, Krueger Tuned Racing was taking part in a 16-hour endurance race at Watkins Glen International. The team is led by car owners, Walt and Chuck Krueger, Jr. Other members of the competing team were J.C. Krueger, Mark Krueger and Don Girven. The 5-member team would split every duty at the track. The team would be competing in EC, which is the exception class. This means the car is valued at an amount above the normal limits of ChumpCar. The reason for being in this class is due to the high starting value of the teams 1994 Volvo 940 Turbo (450 points) and the stock turbo adds an additional 100 points. After performing an automatic transmission swap to a 5-speed manual from a 1992 Ford Mustang the additional costs forced the team to move to EC. On Friday, the team finished 3rd of 12 in class and 30th out of 81 cars overall. Saturday, the team placed 3rd again, but moved up to 27th overall. On Sunday, the team had it's first bout of bad luck. J.C. had an issue on lap 7 entering turn 6 and the car spun and his the tire wall, then rolled on the rebound off the wall. He was fine, but the car suffered some serious damage, which caused the team to retire from the event.



Now for a little write up from my end of the event. I drove last on Friday. It took me several laps to get a rhythm, but once I did, I settled into a good pace. I moved up 4 places from 34th to 30th in the final hour and had a best lap of 2:34.328, which I got on the final lap of the race. J.C., Chuck and Don all had times in the 2:35-2:36 range. It's always good when you have the fastest lap on the team. We finished 73 laps in 4 hours. We didn't have any issues at all with car, which was great! The only change we made to the car was to turn the boost up from 8lbs to 9lbs to try to get the car to not run so rich. The AFR was in the 9.8-10.0 range, when it should be closer to 11.0-11.5.

On Saturday, my uncle took the first and last hours, with the other four reversing the driving order for 90 minutes each. So I went out 2nd and immediately ran faster laps than on Friday. I came out of the pits in 49th place and came into the pits in 29th. I moved up 20 places and had a fastest lap of 2:33.254. I had 5 laps faster than my best on Friday. Part of that is the increase in boost and the other is being more comfortable and smooth. Although, J.C. finished with the best lap, 2:32.282. But he only had 2 laps faster than 2:34, so he had a faster fast lap, but I was more consistent.

On Sunday, we were motivated to move up even more overall and maybe challenge for 2nd in class, but that all changed when J.C. radioed in on lap 7 saying he crashed, but was okay. Heading into turn 6 (entrance of the boot), he said it felt like the rear brakes locked up, which caused the rear to spin and hit the tire wall. The car bounced off the tire wall and rolled one time. He was fine, but the car had some decent damage. Damage included 2 broken motor mounts, broken distributor cap, some bent up alignment, most on the passenger side and a lot of body damage. The roll cage did it's job and kept the inside safe.

Every team's lap times from Friday and Saturday.

Here are some video's from the event. The first 2 are my complete runs, while the 3rd is the crash.

SATURDAY




SUNDAY'S CRASH

You mentioned you weren't good with websites, so I tried to help you with what to look for. If you lack enough patients to figure that out, Im afraid what other situations you lack it in as well. Peace.

Yuh, uuhuh, uhuh. Who was that masked man...... Oh, it's the Raymann. Looks like prime Snail material there. Attitude out the yingyang.

Being computer illiterate is no excuse for the belligerence shown here.

Why don't you try reading any number of the replies that are sitting in your inbox and stop starting a new conversation asking for help if you're not going to read the help being given.

I have responded to your requests as well as Handlebar. It's all right there in your inbox. You have been given detailed instructions and provided links to click to take you where you need to go in two different conversations.

 

[CoachMK21]

FYI, the Peugeot VGT car is POS. It would be nice if PD would add some real cars. (and tracks, etc).

This not meant to start a bash PD topic.
