I'll be testing all the LMPs. Is oil change/engine rebuild mandatory?

Nope.

Anything about track limits?

Keep 2 wheels inside the white lines at all times. That's the white lines, not the curbs. Will edit the OP.

Anyone started running laps yet? Need to know what my benchmark should be in GTE

I believe the GTs should be in the high 3:50s.

High 3:50s as in 3:56-3:59, or 3:50.6-3:50.9?

That one.

 

[Storm_SP17]

Nice one.

For the Nissan GT-R, I think something more like 540 or even 560 bhp might be needed as opposed to the current 525 bhp listed.

It needs practically max downforce at the front just to survive turn 1 let alone Porsche Curves, resulting in a slow top end on the Mulsanne.

Can someone else confirm?

Though it was at 450hp for a separate event, i also can agree the GTR is a bit of a slug in the turns, but its actually still pretty fast on the straights

The time lost in the technical sections might still be too much for the current straightline speed to make up. I agree with a boost to 540HP

 

[Storm_SP17]

The car is definitely very quick in a straightline, it just doesn't like turning one bit without a big investment in front downforce. Even with 540 bhp it isn't up there with the top speeds of, say, the SLS... but it accelerates well to make up for it, and when mech grip tuning and downforce work together, it can turn nicely. Handles curbs better than the rest of the cars, probably because it just refuses to step out underneath you!

Qualifying for this event will take place all week in the community section on GT6. Go to the American Racing Series club and sign up for the qualifying event. https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/clubid/1059310

When will the qualifying event open ?

Edit. I guess Turbo / Motor tuning isnt allowed ?

 

[aceboy127]

I plan to test the GT-R this evening to find out for sure, so I will probably update the specs tomorrow.

When will the qualifying event open ?

Race
Saturday July 1st 9pm EST / 6pm PST

So next week.

Edit. I guess Turbo / Motor tuning isnt allowed ?

correct

Iam testing it just now , and so far my fastest laptime is 3.58,371 , but I do beleive it should be possible to go a bit faster

edit. 3.58,099 , no more time to test just now

Update OP too with in game time setting, weather and also for quali how many times you could run it or is it kind of open to run as many laps as you like. Thanks!
Edit: I also put some note on other thread for this event so there might be someone coming from WRS drivers...
Edit2: I put note to other thread too. Let's see if we get more people to join us.

... I will probably update the specs tomorrow...

 

[Storm_SP17]

So I've just been informed it is free tyre choice. The brutally competitive part of me wants to ask as many questions as possible to gauge a profile on everyone's pace compared to my own... the same side of me that would answer similar questions in a rather ambiguous manner to keep you all guessing on mine.

Lap times I am seeing are relating to a particular tyre compound that I can see myself achieving those on... but...

 

[jammy21]

You'll see all laptimes when quali event start next week.

Yes, July 1st seems to work for more people so it was moved to next weekend.

OK sir I've updated everything, let me know if you see anything else that needs changed/added.

Time progress would be like 10x if we like to get 24h full circle.

Any of the guys running and/or testing GTs, how fast are y'all? I'm struggling to get to the 3:59s with RS tires.

58s on RH. You sure you have the specs right?

I get curius on which car you guys are using ?

I run the SLS but I also ran the R8 along those times. All on RH cause I haven't run any other compound yet.

 

[Michelin]

Got a 3:57 on RS with the Z4 on a low downforce setting... I'm really struggling with the GTs, might try the LMPs.
