"nor collect or store personal data about other users." Erm, like age and location data?

That is purely optional and the collection is not done on this site. Yeah, splittin' a hair or two there but whatever. I've thought about your suggestion of having an "organizational" GTP Account but have as yet not asked the PTB's at GTP if it's ok to do. There are some other considerations involved with "moving" traffic from this thread to another but that's above my pay grade. Be that as it may, your suggestion has been tossed around some in the past, behind the scenes so to speak, and didn't gain much traction.

vroom vroom,

Just thought i'd post some pictures of last night's practice hosted by @pubason including @JamCar0ne pace setter for the night, ''jam master'' sinna aka @STEAMER62 austrian ''buffalo soldier'' and myself the ever ''orange mango''

Enjoy and as always @TomMang_68 I'm open to criticism lol

Bathurst Test - Next Week Friday March 13 at 10 PM EDT​

You can still sign up. We need more reserve drivers to ensure we will have a full room. If we fill the room, the remaining drivers can open a second room and run a test in parallel. See Banner for details.

Thanks, It is not only enjoyable to drive but also a fun piece of design to photograph. Took so many good angled shots but didn't want to slow down the thread for others so just picked random ones.

I wholeheartedly second that. This one was amazing, @Engmatic1! The one of the detail on the brakes of the Ft-1 was also stunning.

I must be in an entirely different world. I couldn't disagree more. Lol. Maybe with no "boost button", maybe... I just have issues with "fake" cars.

Not a different world, just a different view. And thank the heavens for that. If it wasn't the case, life would suck, because everyone would have the same opinion about everything.

That being said, I'm not a great fan of driving the VGT cars, but the pictures are great shots, opinion on what it felt like for the driver were not considered.

I do agree on the photos. It does take good shots. Lol

Point taken . I can see you are a purist @FloptaStr8 . I understand where you are coming from in regards to 'Fake' cars. I for one don't mind any car as long as it catches my imagination not just from a driving point of view but also from an aesthetic one.

Sorry.. what exactly are these "SNAIL tests"? Are they for testing out various potential combos for the future, or something different?

Also, sorry I missed the practice last night. I was at a live Duncan Trussel Family Hour recording

The bathurst test are to see if the glitches on bathurst are fixed or not so that we can start using bathurst in snail!

Ah interesting! Well seeing as I clearly didn't even realize there were bugs on that track.. I should probably stay out of your guys' way for the test

Are there any more practice races scheduled prior to Sunday?

 

[Lessen]

If the Toyota was a little bit more free on exit I'd probably enjoy it a bit more. Most if these VGT cars need a slight tune, but so do most of the race and touring cars we race. That's just me though.

I've never had a problem with bathurst either but If your after racing go for it it's still racing and saturday is the endro series talk to @cmbeal317 if you want to get in on it!

I think that's just down to the fact of weight and lack thereof. If it was heavier there would be more momentum moving around.

I've found most of them understeer like pigs without a tune. That's my main gripe with the VGTs

I may just take this week to practice for the Sunday events instead.. since I'm really nervous about running my first races with you guys. I like to think I'm pretty decent behind the wheel, but my worst fear is always ruining someone's race. Add that to the "new guy" jitters.. I just want to be well prepared for this. IDK as of now I've got no clue where I stack up.. I guess the divisional placement will speak to that whenever it comes

 

[DesertPenguin09]

The BMW VGT handles beautifully. RWD unlike the majority of the others.

Well in that case there is usually a practice room open somewhere! (check the snail lobby)

 

[DesertPenguin09]

We should seriously use the BMW VGT more often. It's basically a race car. Front and rear downforce, 1180 kg, 540 hp (569 after oil change). Stock it uses a race suspension and racing brakes and has an LSD. Stock downforce is 350 front/730 rear. That's crazy good. All the data says it's a racing beast. The sound has a bit too much "air noise" but it's grunt can be heard.

So win the night and you get to pick it!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

What a grand idea! Hahaha. I sound like a spokesperson for BMW yet I hate BMWs. It's just one of the best VGTs

 

[BayouSimDrifter]

We need more FWD in the mix....... Just saying.

 

[aTinyPanda]

Whelp looks like I'm D2. Shout out to my D2 brothers.. I'll see you on the track. Very excited for this!!

Like a Volkswagen Lupo GTI Cup Car (J) '03 on Tsukuba. Unfortunately you have to use Comfort Softs, but it still is a nice little car for that track

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Practice room open (snail lobby)

 

[pubason]

no more drama, how about some llamas

cliffe was here

 

[gotdirt410sp]
