I imagine it was an intense race today.

I'll sign up if it doesn't conflict the Global Rallycross Championship I'm participating in.

If not I'll sign up for the Yellowhat Supra.

I'll sign you up, we should have the 7 plus 4 or 5 (including you) more drivers for next week. I might even ditch my kart race next weekend to help get this ball rolling.

I call supra. I live on a tricky piece of land where toilet paper and cow meat are scarce..

And we have a strange time zone....

Global Rallycross is at 1:00pm so I need to know if this is earlier or later than that time.

I live in the wonderful land of Venezuela

Race start for you would be 7pm at Night even tho its still daylight outside with it being Summer time! 👍

Practice lobby is usually open around 5pm your time if you would like to practice before the race?!,.

I got you all signed up I will add you to the spreadsheets once we tally up all points minus penalties if there are any. Plz ready race start procedure so you don't have any confusion at the start of the next race. Welcome to Autobacs Super GT my friend! 👍

If you have any friends from that time zone plz tell them to join for some premier racing action'

 

[freshseth83]

Tough race. Lots of offs, but still good battles with some.

 

[ZachAK47]

Incident report Lap 18 Will Seth.

Seth commits early to going low when he sees Wilfred going wide, Willfred comes down and with Seth not in the rear view there was no way to tell how close he was.

Seth subsequently waits on the straight but Willfred loses his car.

Result: No penalty racing incident

Plc ran an illegal engine upgrade. As stated in the penalty rules he is disqualified from the event

 

[SkengD]

See you guys at indy road !!!

 

[Willfred_1]

wow

 

[ZachAK47]

8 lap clarification.

The op is unclear, joe this needs to be added in

As it does not explicitly say the 8 laps must be flying laps nobody will be penalised

But for the next round onwards the 8 laps must be FLYING LAPS. Inlaps and Outlaps WILL NOT COUNT towards the 8 lap stint.

So if you start the race on medium tyres. The earliest you can pit is lap 9

If you finish a 30 lap race on medium tyres, the latest you may pit is lap 22

If you pit mid race and plan to pit again. Then there must be a 10 lap difference between your 2 pitstops. This is because your in lap and out lap will not be counted

 

[RodeRuner1967]

wow

Gran Turismo has a major contender. I knew Project Cars was going to be a good one, but it shows that it might be a better racer than GT6. I can't wait. Going to put money on a PS4 pre order and pay on it till it comes out.

Zach ill pm you clarity on the Plc eng 3 issue when I get to a computer with a keyboard. It's lengthy!


TnT project cars is awesome in deed, I was doped earlier this year when someone posted Project trailer as a GT6 trailer on Youtube and Will & Seth had to break me the bad news. If Gran Turismo ever had a competitor it's definitely project cars. But I've seen a lot of nice trailers from games but I still have to see if the game play is as good as the trailer. Even if it is I'm faithful to the Gran Turismo series especially even more since gtp is so dedicated to the Gran Turismo series, that I probably still won't stray away!

gameplay in many ways is better

 

[joetruckv8]

^--- your making it hard on me

 

[freshseth83]

GT6 is right around the corner. Im sure there will be plenty of updated features. PCars is nice, but imo GT is the best in terms of feel and realism so far. Not even Forza is as accurate imo. Cant wait!

 

[joetruckv8]

Points will be updated today there is a last min adjustment'

 

[kk20]

Anyone set any times yet around indy?

 

[ZachAK47]

Anyone set any times yet around indy?

Gonna do a run later today

 

[phil bell]

I think Forza has a far better tire model than GT5, but GT6 looks really good tbh...

Can't wait. Oh and hope I can race this week. GT-R is collecting virtual dust.

I'll be a diehard fan of Gran Turismo till they totally mess it up. 👍

 

[joetruckv8]

Running laps tonight for Blancpain & Autobacs. Not going to tune just simulate the total distances for both series and get a tire # so I can put together a pit strategy.

Maybe, in some instances like grip level for certain tires, but the cars feel floaty and unconnected. Taking turns in high downforce cars seems off to me. Not sure how to explain it.

 

[ZachAK47]

Online now in my lounge doing some Indy laps. Will post here my best

Pb 1.28.5

Theoretical best 1.28.3

 

[ZachAK47]

Today's pb 1.27.6

Soft

 

[RodeRuner1967]

Soft

Joe and I had a quick session lastnight at Indy. My pb was a 1:30.090 on mediums. Not much setup yet.
I believe Joe and I are running a simulation race tonight sometime after 5pm PST. If anyone wants to join, it will be my lounge with mics on. 👍

By the way, my race pick was Tokyo R246 Reverse.
Can someone change the OP for Round 3, it says Tokyo R246. It is supposed to be Tokyo R246 Reverse. We don't want to confuse anyone that might run it the regular way.

Zach, are we suppose to add our ballast weight for practice, qualifying and the race?

 

[ZachAK47]

Ballast applies to qualifying and the race, so I'd advise practicing with it

 

[RodeRuner1967]

These are the drivers who have ballast for Indy Road and how much.

Freshseth = 40kg = 1200kg
Zach = 30kg = 1130
TnT = 20kg = 1120
Plc = 10kg = 1110
