Joining now, if you're still in a lounge. I will be DLC-less for a little while Hopefully I get it before Nov. 7, which is when the bonus for it ends.

 

[rocko100]

Oh sorry, you beat me
Be there in a sec

 

[Cowboys965]

Already got it I think! Stiggy!

 

[rocko100]

Should stop by, were doing karts on spa.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

2:26.1 my best so far at Spa. That track is fun as hell.

Nice time 👍 I got a 1:50 in a Ferrari F1, but could do a lot better. And a hellufa of fun indeed.

 

[rocko100]

I forgot to check; too busy doing but outs in the awesome Challenger TC
EDIT: i mean burnouts not but outs!
Dumb auto correct

I still haven't bought the DLC because my credit card info wasn't in there and I'm lazy lol. So that was my first time at Spa. PD did a great job with the elevation changes and scenery. An instant favorite.

What are other GT-E drivers getting there for lap times?

You could've gone online and join a random room that has the track. That's what I did last weekend

You haven't been there in the rain yet either I assume?
Probably one of my best experiences on GT yet. They absolutely NAILED the physics on this. You even have to stay off the big line of rubber on the normal racing line to go around properly in the rain.
Approaching Eau Rouge with the weather turned up to 100% is almost as scary is I'd imagine it to be IRL. Mainly because you can't see it until you're pretty much on it. From cockpit view that is.

I <3 PD.

 

[nitrorocks]

Monaco is terrible though! Lol

 

[Stavelot]

Was Monaco on the schedule last season? Who won each class?

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Monaco seems to be on the track list every season, given the limited number of real tracks suitable for the series. I forget who won overall.

 

[Cowboys965]

Monaco sort of just showed the inequalities between the cars last season, as the McLaren F1 with the most downforce (I think) won.

 

[nitrorocks]

I love Monaco, but GT5 made it terribly

 

[Cowboys965]

It's like that on purpose I think. PD doesn't have the Monaco License, so it doesn't have the same name and it looks like Monaco, and I also heard it's the 90's layout.

 

[nitrorocks]

I know they don't have the license, but it's the same layout

 

[Cowboys965]

I know they don't have the license, but it's the same layout

There are some slight differences, so they can say it's not exactly Monaco I guess.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

I think the Mclaeren was primarily the car with the most advantage, at least in the tight circuit, though I'd seen many of the other cars win or place podium at other races (RUF, Ferrari, Corvette, Lambo, Ford, etc.). Almost any of the cars could win in the right hands. The only ones that really seemed to struggle hardcore were the M3 and Jag. Hopefully the weight increase equalizes them a bit more.

By the way I'm at about 1:26 at Seca. How is that at the new regs?

 

[Cowboys965]

NEW regs?

 

[Tower Turn 13]

NEW regs?

1300kg.

 

[gogatrs]

Last time we tested them they were phenomenally good.
Another test session will be held this Saturday and perhaps Friday for LMP.
I think we should plan for Friday and then do Saturday also if we need to.
I think that I'll be able to take control this winter without having cross country to worry about. Spring I probably won't.
We'll see in time.
With that said, the new OP will be up within the next two weeks.

1300kg.

We made some slight HP adjustments.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Is the RGT still at 500?

 

[gogatrs]

Is the RGT still at 500?

Yes.
You going RUF now?
I'm considering LMP again. That'll give me extra motivation to get the regs right.

And I came across some interesting information the other day. The Toyota GT-ONE is actually a GT1 car not LMP. It belongs in the same class as the R390 race car.

 

[freshseth83]

Spa in lmp's I do 2:00's pretty consistently @650hp. I forget the power for this series though. ADD me to PSN so we can include me in practice. The Toyota was basically an lmp, it was labeled a GT because that was the top class. It's laps were faster than any car in the race, and stood for years.

 

[Tower Turn 13]

Yes.

Interesting about the Toyota. I'm either wanting to go with RUF or Pescarolo, depending on which field has a larger deficit.

Don't get too excited though because I'm representing the Faulken Tyres beetle...er...porsche this season
