2016 VRR World Endurance Championship [PlayStation 4]Open

[Eva]

For those unfamiliar with Virtual Reality Racing, we aim to deliver the best, most competitive racing accessible to as many people as possible. For almost 2 years, we have been doing a Super GT Series, which concludes its final GT6 season in June. We feel like it is time to explore further racing on other games, and this is where that begins. It's time to open up a new chapter.
NOTE: Full Regulations will be added on July 1st, 2016

What time of day will this be running?

 

[Eva]

Race starts slated for 2 p.m. GMT-5

 

[RACECAR]

Hurrah!!

One question though: Is there anything going to be done about the massive speed advantage the TS040 and the R18 have? As it stands now, they basically just leave everything else behind on corner exit.

I honestly didn't know they did because the RWD and Marek are hybrid power too. I don't even have the Toyota or the Aston.

 

[RACECAR]

I honestly didn't know they did because the RWD and Marek are hybrid power too. I don't even have the Toyota or the Aston.

I did some online races and everytime I was against those two (Either with the Audi or Toyota), I blew them away at the start. I'll do some testing just to confirm it.

Also (didn't even notice this at first), only the Merek is Hybrid, The RWD is just LMP1. So, there may (Or may not) be a chance we could have a case of LMP1-H and LMP1-??(Petrol I guess?)

Edit: Nevermind, RWD is a Hybrid. Just got thrown off by the liveries as some of them have the HY sticker and some don't (Which is just very odd).

If that is the case, then I would simply leave Toyota out and revert the Audi back to the TDI.

That's perfect for me. Can I pencil myself in for the Z4 GT3 please?

I know a couple of others who might be interested also.

 

[GTRacer22]

So I've got until August to get a PS4. Good to know.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Either the LMP1 #80 (RWD I am quite sure) or Mercedes GT3 #80

Same. That's definitely something to put on my to-buy list in the next few months.

 

[RACECAR]

Did some testing late last night around Silverstone and It looks like you won't need to. At least in my hands, both the RWD and the Marek were actually competitive enough to keep up, even faster by a little bit. I guess I just raced people who just weren't used to handling a car with a Hybrid control system like that (which now that I think about it, was kinda to my advantage thanks to GT6 and the Toyota TS030 Hybrid.). I am abit curious about the Aston though since its the only Non-Hybrid in the field.

Car number on the Z4?

Either the LMP1 #80 (RWD I am quite sure) or Mercedes GT3 #80

Might want to double look. The Mercedes involved is the AMG GT3, Free Car #10.

 

[Challengerlov]

Ruf gt3 for me

 

[Eva]

Ruf gt3 for me

Car number?

 

[Challengerlov]

The number 56

 

[Challengerlov]

51 I mean

 

[Eva]

A bit of an update. Added a test day to July 31st at Hockenheim. It isn't mandatory by any means, but it would be a great way to measure the field up before we get to Silverstone.

 

[rcb929]

Sign me up for LMP1, car tbd.

 

[Eva]

Awesome. Now we have a certified fast driver in the field.

If only I knew how to tune lol

 

[Eva]

If only I knew how to tune lol

I just know how to not make the car spin and what I need to do to keep the engine from overheating and blowing.

 

[RACECAR]

You know what, can you guys specify if you have the following car packs:

Japanese Car Pack
Audi Ruapana Expansion
Aston Martin Track Expansion
US Car Pack

Think it'd be best to mention this series kinda requires these if you're gonna pick certain cars (Corvette, DBR1-2, E-Tron Quattro, etc)

 

[Eva]

Personally I have the Audi and US packs.

 

[FutureF1]

Welp I still need a PS4 but now I know this series exists, I'm gonna try and speed up the process of getting one

 

[Eva]

I should probably add that this is a PS4 series.

If you want to go ahead and make a reservation just in case.

 

[FutureF1]

I'll reserve a spot on P1. Car yet to be confirmed.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Actually put my entry as pending. No idea how life is looking
