put me down for A but ditto on Flash if Bathurst is still Batty

my Ford is suddenly grabby up front and slidy behind. Still seems better with no camber than with "some"

 

[ItzRacing]

yeah it was a good night tonight, thanks to everyone who showed up. We basically did a couple hours of testing in free run while everyone sorted their cars out and finished with a couple fun races. Nosoks was in the lead of the first race before stopping before the finish line, like @Cobra_GT500 told us to. I didnt see the message however and powered past him and stole the win... Oops. Still acknowledging that it was Nosoks race win! Nosoks and Moto ran with a Corvette C7 Stingray and I used a new viper with a wing, racing soft tyres and no other upgrades except suspension, lsd, etc. and put in the same times as i did in the merc sls!

 

[swillisam]

Sounds like I've got some catching up to do. Will try and get on tonight however I'll need to finish some painting first.

 

[nosoks]

some of the car handling differences may be due to a dead zone in the wheel now.

Yeah you could be right, It feels ok on initial turn in but then mid corner snap over steer without even touching the loud pedal. Doesn't seem to matter what type of corner it is either. So far no amount of anti roll bar or rear adjustments seem to fix it.

 

[swillisam]

Sorry guys can't make it tonight. Mate wants the PS3. Have fun.

Why oh why Polyphony did you have to go change the physics?!?!

Ive not had a chance to test the Audi, will I be in for a bad time?

Quite possibly. Its made some not as good cars good (GTR) and some good cars rubbish (Z4). I haven't driven the Audi so i'm not sure which category it falls into. But its safe to say you will need to change a good part of your set up.

Audi has always suffered from snap oversteer

 

[nosoks]

thanks to Flash for some tuning advice also, went back to stock aero plus a little on the back which helped out. I'll still be slow but a bit more stable

------------------Australian GT Series Round 4------------------

So here we go again for the round 4 of the Australian GT Series that brings us to Circuit de la Sarthe located in Le Mans Maine France an with qualifying over Lion that's pole position from Greasy with Flash in 3rd an new boy Sam seating in 4th sadly as the cars came around again Nos was missing from the pack this time an first timer Mitch had trouble seeing several of the drivers including Dave who was seating right in front of him as the guys got ready for the start

As some of the drivers were thinking the race was on it's way Mitch took off a bit early an not being able to see Dave push him high above spectators getting underneath Dave then pushing Flash in to the back of Lion causing mayhem at the start

As Lion,Flash an Greasy turn around to go back to pits to get their damage fix the rest of the guys went around again behind the imaginary pace car as Mitch an Moto race ahead to get the damage their cope the rest of the drivers line up for a another restart

This time Flash getting brilliant start getting around Greasy an Lion as Sam gets up in front of Greasy put him back to 4th as the drivers come to the Dunlop Chicane

As the drivers fly down the mulsanne straight Greasy managing to get by Sam as It'z pressuring Dave coming into playstation chicane but Dave was able holding him off for now as flash does the same to Lion making for some close racing with the top six drivers

With Mitch not being able to see Heat but Heat with being able to see him Mitch ram straight into the back of him resulting in Heat taking damage an putting deep in the kitty litter at Michelin Chicane sadly with Heat to damage to continue deciding to retire he's GTR for the day

As the Drivers come through Mulsanne corner with Flash still in the lead but with Lion hot on he's tail Moto Cold brakes failing him sending him straight into the tire barrier at a 170Kph

With Mitch still not able to see Dave but able to see It'z Mitch would of thought he could of get right on the back of It'z with Dave not being there as Mitch goes into the back of him resulting in Dave going into the back of It'z sending him fly off the track spectacularly burying him deep at Indianapolis corner as Lion is stuck in a BMW sandwich

As Mitch come into Arnage corner losing it right in front of Dave luckily he could not see him as he drove right thru him pushing him up to 5th for now

As Greasy went thru the Porsche Curves for the first time putting a back wheel on the grass an losing it an getting damage as Sam an Dave got by pushing him down to 5th an needing to pit for repairs as several drivers need to do the same on they opening lap as Flash,Lion,Sam an Dave races ahead

Until Sam spun it coming out of Esses letting Dave to get by an moving him up to 3rd until Dave had he's own off coming out of the Porsche curves giving the position back to Sam later that lap

Later Flash had he's own off coming out of the Porsche curves giving Lion the top spot as Mitch puts he's Corvette in to the well at Tertre Rouge an calling it a day

As Sam pits on lap 10 coming out just in front of Greasy as he gets by him coming into PlayStation Chicane as Sam try to get back he's position he loses control coming out of Arnage letting Greasy open up a big gap from him

As Flash dive into pits on lap 13 for new rubber an bit of gas Lion does the same on lap 14 as Greasy follow him in as well now allowing the drivers to go to the end of the race from here

Dave's day went from bad to worse having several off of the course of the race pushing him down to 6th as It'z who was having a pretty quiet race an just trying to keep out of trouble

As Greasy was coming up to lap the backmarkers Moto loses it at Porsche Curves in front of Greasy who gave him a little bump resulting in both drivers taking damage an needing to pit for repairs with only 6 minutes to go

As Sam gets by Greasy as he was sitting in pits which gave Sam 3rd with minutes to go until Sam lost it coming out of Indianapolis giving 3rd back to Greasy with one lap left to go as Dave pit crew was thinking if this was their driver making a decision not to work on he's Audi an leaving it alone (Good Work Boys)

As Flash gave chase to Lion closing the gap down to under 8 seconds but running out of time to take the fight to him Greasy posted the fastest lap for the day on lap 22 leaving it to the last moment

As Lion goes over the line taking the win from Flash by 7.615 seconds an Greasy coming in 3rd far behind the leaders an 19 seconds in front of Sam

Congratulations to Lion for the win an having a clean race
well done to Greasy for posted the fastest lap time of 3:49.076
Good work to the guys for sticking it out over a gruelling an fatiguing race
See you all in 2 weeks time on the 25/06 at Twin Ring Motegi in Japan
for a thrilling round 5 of the Australian GT

I don't see why not

 

[Cobra_GT500]

I just did a 50 minute run with my Mercedes on the Motegi and it felt fine although this was just to get used to the course not put in good lap times I had bad tyre wear due to braking late and locking the brakes. I guess I need a bit more practice tomorrow.

So today I thought I'd be playing my ps3 and decided I'd start a Le Mans 24hour endurance race on gt5 but little did I know that my ps3 would stop working my ps3 has officially stopped working with a hardware failure. So I i have now lost all my saved data for every game I played . I'm not sure how long ill be without a ps3 for ill be sending it in to get a replacement which will cost me $175since its out of warranty. After all these years my luck with playstations have officially stopped. I am sad now my beloved ps3 slim is officialy dead

I do have a ps3 in my room which I could use for the race but ill be on a ds3 if that's ok with everyone.

Thanks for having me. Also, I've got a quick question on the car I've selected (RX8)

According to your first post, you said the car had 562bhp, however upon buying the car, the game said it had 500bhp. Where about did you get the information regarding this? And, to level up my car to what the first post said, I have installed a low RPM turbo that brings the power up to 551bhp. Would this be acceptable?

Hope you can answer this asap

You can install whatever parts you want, so long as it meets the regs on the opening page. If you want less HP than whats listed that's fine by us

I would go to big w and get a new one for $150 seeing as postage of the unit will cost you, a ds3 will be ok mate,

Keg, any tuning parts are allowed,

Ill look into it I already miss having 2 ps3s I was in heaven lol. Do I need to change any parts of the tune with the ds3 for the sls?

most likely, not sure what though,

You could also relocate your ps3 to your wheel?

Ha ha. Could try but I have so many cords it would take me years to figure it out where they all go .

 

[TheFlash05]

@TDZdave may I make a suggestion? Being that we still don't seem to get the starts right (I have faith that we have learnt from our mistakes BTW), why don't we start at the main start line so we have more room for error going into turn one? Just a thought.

 

[TDZdave]

Ha ha. Could try but I have so many cords it would take me years to figure it out where they all go .

there is 3 that go into the playstation, 2 without a wheel,

is an idea flash. Concerned about the adjusted first turn?

More that the turn of the bottom of the hill is tight and you cant get away with going two wide + you will get to it with a lot of speed. If you make an error it will cost you big time.

Well after playing around with my ps3 I ended up biting the bullet to do a full system restore and my ps3 is up and running. Sad thing is though I've lost all my saved data . Guess I can grind again for the sls amg gt3 luckily I don't have to get the trophies again lol.

i can agree mate, my reasoning behind the change was getting everyone through the final turn of the circuit 2 wide, and if there is an incident the pit lane is only 250m up the circuit as oppose to people needing to complete a full lap with damage that early on,
