I know this has been beaten to death, but can someone please explain why we still set tires based on pre-oil change PP? We never ever use that in a race setting so it's a meaningless stat. The type of tire used should be based on what we're driving, and we drive post-oil change.

7pp is inconsequential. It's the number they chose thats all. It's a moot point really, no point in quibbling over a few pp. If it equates to less tire on a particular combo I'd say thats a good thing.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

It comes up with the RGT because it's right at 499 but whatevs

What is the mid div lap time for this combo?

Edit : 2:53.xxx after running 10 laps - however its over a 4 mile course with tons of turns so lots of time left on track

 

[Lessen]

I think it's quite a valid point actually. As DP stated, the league does not race the stock pp (and technically not supposed to either), so basing the tire on an unused and illegal performance statistic does indeed seem illogical at first glance.

However, I imagine over several years of GT5/6 SNAIL racing it has probably been established that this method yields a more appropriate tire for majority of cars. The RGT and probably a handful of others may be the minority that unfortunately get the short end of the stick shifter?.?.. but you really cannot have exceptions all the time because that just opens flood gate of BS that would be nonsesical.

Dealership PP is well documented in the dealership and therefore easy to verify.

CONGRATS @JamCar0ne ON THE WIN 👍

I noticed there are three green cars in our division and cause your making that color look so good, I again will go in search of a new color combo....hmmm what should it be!

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. The well documented and readily available and verifiable PP number is the one SNAIL uses to select tires.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

And what about post-oil HP is hard to verify? Kudosprime has a list of all cars with both PP and HP numbers.

I'm just being a devil's advocate at this point. Not trying to rustle any feathers.

because not all prize announcements come with post oil numbers especially when it comes to new members (usually old members but we will blame the new members)

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Right, we're only as smart as our dumbest member

The game is the gold standard. a persons work is only as accurate and reliable as the author. Without going through the entire list and verifying against the game, one should not assume it is accurate.

 

[Whitey093]

Anyways. The new combo is amazing but make sure you practice it before sunday. If you just show up with no laps you will struggle and or cause havoc.

 

[Lessen]

Sounds like an uber-fun combo. Probably a bit frustrating, but rewarding nonetheless.

Sorry Tom . I'm guessing 1:52.xxx. I ran 1:51.xxx.

With project cars on the steam summer sale, I've been gifted a copy for PC !

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Sorry Tom . I'm guessing 1:52.xxx. I ran 1:51.xxx.

You are officially mid division now! so your 1:51 is mid division lol

 

[TomMang_68]

Sorry Tom . I'm guessing 1:52.xxx. I ran 1:51.xxx.

I think he meant 2:51 ? You would need an average lap speed of 142 mph to lap at 1:51.xxx

 

[JLBowler]

Prize selections for the week are complete. Thank you to the prize winners for handling that in a timely fashion.

I hope everyone enjoys the racing this week as much as I will be enjoying my golf this weekend. I'm planning a 54 hole weekend, 36 on Saturday and 18 on Sunday spread over three courses.

Congrats to Jam Car!
Bit of a shame, because you're green is so pretty. But then, It's appreceiated becasue I'm pretty fond of my Avocado Green - same color as my childhood fridge.
Renault biscuit yellow and black would be nice...

The Mercs at Mount Panorama - THAT'S EXCITING! I love that circuit, it's great for racing.
