Reading some of the comments in that post makes me mad <_<

Yeah I had to bite my tongue and resist responding myself, but in the end a few others took up the fight and ridiculed the original criticisers. Whenever you put yourself in the spotlight you risk the anonymity of Internet forums giving voice to spineless nobodies but it really doesn't bother me. Publicity was good. I took one for the team

 

[Phouchg]

Yeah there was at least one reasonable person there that defended you very well and made the others look like idiots (which they probably are, but who am I to judge ^^ ). Good job not going in there defending yourself, would have been hard to resist, but probably wouldn't have helped much.

Anyway the last VLN-race is closing in.. any freelance drivers lurking around in look for a drive? GORE has a position open.

"quite often these GT3 cars are far, far more unforgiving than the road car, but not the R8."



You agree @memto89 @jonnyb1990 ? #crashteam

 

[memto89]

Well most of the things he says are true such as the trail braking and steering, but for us it's the curbs and amount of down force the car generates, when you lift off the floor the rear end pushes down to much and rotates the car round

 

[Gadget334]

Looking at some pics of your car though, you seems to be running it very high at the front which I would have thought would make the problem you describe even worse?

(Disclaimer : I know nothing about tuning......but this is just based on physics logic!! . )

As far as the set-up numbers go, we're not, but you never know, you might be onto something

 

[Pluxtheduck]

We noticed it the other night, just trying to help you out

 

[Ninners]

The update seems to have changed the handling completely. I tried my old GTR out and it spun like a dog with the same setup that I used to get pole in lobby 1. How things change.

 

[Phouchg]

SLS still seems really good though

Music to my ears my friend

Anyone who is not signed up already, CORE are involved with another GT3 series https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/european-gt3-championship-starts-4-2-14.297650/
the cars are the same spec as the N24 and so the cars are very easterly transferred!!! make sure you sign up

Hi guys, just wanted to introduce myself as I will be racing with @adrianhettich for the final VLN race this weekend and for the main N24 event

Details are still being decided and will be confirmed as quickly as we can (need to be in time for Sat 👍)

Anyway, my name is Mike Smith I am from Hastings UK. I enjoy racing GT cars for long periods of time, I host my own series with gp length races, I have now signed up to CORE's WEC s3 and am very much looking forward to racing with you and am very excited about the 24 hour race

Really pleased to see that my humble efforts at being 'matchmaker' paid off and that we now have another keen Pro Team on the grid for the GTPN24 which is now less than THREE weeks away.

Adrian, I know you told me that you have already created and earned credits enough to buy your car and get online with your unique PSN ID 'team name' account but please could you confirm what that name is exactly AND send friends requests from it to the other Pro Teams already registered.

Looking forward to seeing you guys on the grid for VLN R3 this Saturday.

Any word on you guys making a Scottish pro team yet? I know you had 2 drivers and just looking for a 3rd

Sorry for lack of that information, our team psn id is: Anywhre_But_Last
And again sorry for that issue in the future but our team name will change after VLN race. As all of us are based in Hastings (UK) our name will be connected to 1066 number.

 

[knukken]

Where can I find more info about support race? And I guess 860 kg is wrong

 

[Phouchg]

Yeah that's not even possible is it?

Welcome to ABL as a PRO-team! great to have another competitor in the 24 hour race, looking forward to race you guys some more.

 

[memto89]

The megane support races will be held in the same way the WEC grading races were held, with the same specs as well

 

[Phouchg]

Could you provide a link for those that wasn't in the WEC? ^^

edit: oh wait, it's in your signature-thingy on the bottom right?

edit2: couldn't find the renault specs in any of the OPs for WEC so I guess it was somewhere else, but now you've posted them so yaaay.

 

[memto89]

Link to WEC

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/core-wec-s3-on-gt6-march-2014-sign-up-now.288090/

Megane Specs are

Megane Trophy Base model

fully tunes apart from engine tuning stage 1-2-3 (so once tuned you will be getting 441hp after oil change)

440 HP 960KG

Soft tyres

Races will be 45 mins long

2 races with tinker time in-between

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

In here @DanSmith 👍

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Great to have you guys here ABL and you have definitely have the meanest looking car of the grid!

Oh and all drivers - remember to buy SOFT, MEDIUM, INTER and WET tyres!!!

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

I hear people have already had tyre issues myself and Dan already got that bit sorted

Just out of interest as such a late joiner, what is a good lap with these cars? Also what is a very good lap?

Need to know what ball park to aim for

 

[memto89]

8:10 - 8:15 seems to be the standard... 3 people have so far hit 8:06

 

[P1K3Y_M1k3Y]

Thanks mate, at least I know to aim for 8.05 or better
