Meh, I already missed another week. I'm out of the championship. And yea I wanted GT300 but it was full, then it wasn't, but I already confirmed GT500 and couldn't switch back before someone took the one spot left. Oh well.

Well, you won't be able to get enough points to win it, but that doesn't mean you should abandon the series. At this point I can't win it either, but that doesn't mean I won't race if I am able to. Don't worry about where you finish the race, just worry about finishing. 👍

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I'll be there next time, it's just less fun with less drivers and when all the other drivers are faster than you.

You are right, but there were plenty of RX7s to beat up on.

 

[Dolph Drago]

It was a fun night of racing, despite the lack of GT500 drivers. Even so, while Gouletzky pretty much dominated Psycho and myself, we had extremely close lap times. As for GT300, what a battle those guys had! A tie in for 1st in race 1! And when us GT500 guys were making our way through the GT300 field, you could tell just how intense the racing was there. Yet everyone was courteous when I was going by, despite their heavy battling. Thank you, GT300 racers!

I can see the images, anyone else?

 

[micantony]

nope, no images.

I'll take the GT-R though

anyone want to look up a tune?

and older GT6 spec tunes you could try to see if they still work in spec 1.09:

[DesertPenguin09]

Images don't work.

I'm thinking I'll take the FORD MUSTANG BOSS 302 '13 probably. Will test a bit today if anyone's interested in joining me.

 

[Schmiggz]

Hi guys, i trully believe this series might be a true blast.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I bought all cars and set them to the regs and then seeing where the PP stands. It'll be interesting for anyone in the GT-R being that it's the only 4WD car in the field.

I was going to pick the GT-R before I knew the tire regulations. After I found out it was Racing Mediums I decided to go with an FR car.

 

[micantony]

BAH, you can adjust the damn torque and make it basically an FR car if you desire

We all know PD always put in that "special sauce" to all GT-R's in the game.

 

[micantony]

OK, guys, since I haven't seen any results for these events, I will post them for you. Keep in mind
that this will be THE ONLY TIME I will do this; otherwise, you're on you own with posting results.
If you do stick wth it, however, at the end there might be a nice surprise for you all. Let's just say that
it is a requested tune of my McLaren (or at least it was, not sure about now). Enough chit chat, let's get it on!

That's all. Psycho, feel free to link this post to the Results section. If the formatting seems weird, blame my Raspberry Pi.

Awesome job on the results Otaku! Very Impressive and well put together. Have you considered having a go at that every week? you have a gift...

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I was going to pick the GT-R before I knew the tire regulations. After I found out it was Racing Mediums I decided to go with an FR car.

What level of tire wear are we using?

Edit: I'm about to open a practice room and need to know.

should be Normal if you guys are running on racing tires. Unless schmiggz has it set up different but im guessing it would be normal

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Practice Room open in club lobby.

[Schmiggz]

Some interesting notes about my testings:
The M4 is the car that achieves higher top speed but wasn't the fastest on a fast track. The Jaguar was.
The Nissan GT-R sounds like a very fast car for slower tracks. It wasn't. It was beat by the Cadillac
The Dodge Charger was a very positive surprise.
The Challenger is great for fast tracks but for slow tracks...
The Mustang is very easy to tune and make it run smoothly and fast. It likes slower tracks better too.
The Mercedes was a little disappointing as I was expecting more speed from that AMG engine but handles beautifully.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I knew the Mercedes would handle well. They know what they're doing there, but the car looks a bit too big. Same with the Challenger. I didn't test the Charger much but I do really like the Mustang. There are a lot of American cars on the list. We should add more European counterparts for rivalries!

 

[Schmiggz]

I would like to invite my friend @Die_Birdy_Die into this thread so he can follow all conversations regarding the Super Touring Race.

There was no more cars able to make this specifications and the reason minimum weight is so high was to fit the Caddie.
I wanted to get an Alfa Romeo and an Audi in but unfortunately it was not possible.
