I practiced offline 30 minutes before the room opened, then before qualifying on the room. In those two sessions, then qualifying and race, my car behaved the same.. so I don't know what happened to you ace.

Well I know for a fact that offline and online are different, but that is another discussion. All your online sessions were in the same room, so they are probably all going to feel the same.

so I don't know what happened to you ace.

Basically my car was a piece of crap.

Anyway I have a theory. A lot of people in a room results in stressed out servers, so the room drops quality in anything it can while keeping everybody connected. I believe this was more influenced by the fact that we were racing at a track with weather and time change. I believe the room actually had a change in physics, because of the massive load on the servers. Sass can attest to this to when we ran the same track a week earlier in a GT3 series. Our cars felt good in practice and we entered the room and they were crap. Maybe I am just being ridiculous here, but I am not about to spend many hours working on my car and perfecting it to find out it is junk come race day.

Not to go crazy here, but under this theory wouldn't everyone notice a change in handling from practice to the race. I mean i tested in rooms with 1-3 people all week and for all intensive purposes my car felt the same on race day?

 

[Sassafrass_3]

My car felt weird too. Maybe I just happened to go the right way with my changes. Because I was honestly at a loss as to why my car felt different right before the race.

Technically yes that would be true, but did you think that maybe you and Michelin had your cars setup, so they were more adaptable to changes. Would explain why you didn't notice a different on track, or maybe it really depends on your "engine manufacturer".

Gran turismo need wedge, track bars, and tires pressures during pit stop. Even chose from 2 tires or 4 tires during pit stop.

Yea that would have been helpful. I guess we can only hope for stuff like that eventually.

 

[Michelin]

I got my setup on the internet, I had to adjust myself to drive the setup I used. Do you think it's funny burning your RF every time in T1?

For some odd reason, I learned in GT5 to adapt myself to the tunes I use, because I can't make a setup if it meant my life.

Fantastic pictures Sass, love seeing the ones at the beginning where you can see the whole field. Anyway lets get ready for Indy. Anyone planning to get on this evening?

 

[Sassafrass_3]

I will probably make it

 

[Michelin]

@Bowtie52 me and @vetteman24 would like to form a team under the name Team 21 Pilots Racing.

 

[AngryEater]

Awesome guys, I would love to see more team pictures on the OP.

[aceboy127]

@Bowtie52 me and @vetteman24 would like to form a team under the name Team 21 Pilots Racing.

UH OH! That could be a potent combination. I think we will be seeing the team standings shaken up a little bit in the coming weeks.

 

[racefan88]

I will try to get on tonight, what time are you guys thinking?

 

[aceboy127]

I can garuntee no earlier than 9pm for myself, which I believe is a reasonable time to get online.

 

[AngryEater]

I was thinking 7pm Pacific.

 

[Dylan]

I should be on in about 15-20 minutes. I really need to work on a setup.

Edit: just pulled into a sonic restaurant. Might be a bit longer...
