Autobacs Super GT Season 2 | Polling is Now Closed!!!

[ZachAK47]

Track boundaries update.

Concrete is banned for qualifying. 2 wheels must remain on red and white curb/ on track.

Concrete isnt allowed for the race

 

[Willfred_1]

how many laps at deep forest as if we do i a similar number to gt300 then i can increase the camber as wear not too bad
race pace was on average 1.11 for me and zack difficult to overtake
1hr =3600 s
1.10= 70s

3600/70= 50.704
no pit stops at 1.10 = 50 laps add on pitt stops and pace lap
we're looking at 47-52 laps for just over an hour
might need to adjust tyre rules as hardly any wear after 10 fast laps

I'm heading home now to work out that figure for you guys, ill have the numbers in about 2 to 3 hrs roughly.


Deep Forest - 53 Laps including pace lap. Completes a full tank of gas'
PB - 1:10.046 | Meds
PB - 1:09.179 | Softs
Pole - 1:07 to 1:06, maybe even quicker this was only day 1 and I'm at stock DF still! 👍

Super GT Champion Award​

~The champion of this mini series will be awarded to create a custom track of their own that we will race as our opening round of the full length Autobacs Super GT Series coming up 1wk of July. Good Luck to all contenders!​

 

[freshseth83]

Should be a good race.

 

[ZachAK47]

Track boundaries update 3.

This is the final update.

Concrete is banned for qualifying AND the race. The concrete doesn't really provide a good overtaking opportunity and makes the track easier to drive.

White line on main straight must be obeyed. So no running out wide on the final turn

You may exceed track boundaries to avoid a collision, but any gained places must be given back

 

[SkengD]

Since this is a mini series would it be ok to use different cars ?

 

[ZachAK47]

Since this is a mini series would it be ok to use different cars ?

Yeah. Try out cars if they available

 

[gippone]

I'd like to switch to the Lexus Petronas Tom's SC430, frankly I don't have time to tune up the (beast) Calsonic Impul so I'll go quietly with the Lexus

PB: 1:08.5xx on RS

yessssss! 0.15 of you

 

[FakeGangstaDIE]

I may have to skip first race. I'll be working an overnight shift sat to sun. I'm not sure what time ill be starting at but I'll keep you guys posted

 

[freshseth83]

I'm liking the NSX, just tricky getting the last two turns perfect without going wide.

 

[SkengD]

Yeah. Try out cars if they available

Yes ill probably use a diff car each race

 

[freshseth83]

I didn't know we could pick another car. The HSV seems tempting.

 

[Willfred_1]

i believe its taken however the supra and a lexus are quick

 

[phil bell]

The GTR drives like a 4wd car, staying true to its heritage I guess.

No worries about traction at all. PB for me on mediums was an average 10.3 on a brief test.

 

[freshseth83]

Tyler dropped out. I think all the cars are close, just some are better on certain areas. I think the HSV has the fastest high speed cornering, the NSX has good turn in.

Haha that finally took you long enough. You'll probably find your self faster in your old faithful then the GTR. The Petronas felt like it was accelerating slow in comparison to the GTR, but I had half a second faster lap times in the Lexus than the GTR. I'll make the switch on the main page! 👍

No worries'

Roscko & Tyler were signed up for the HSV, but seems Tyler is out and no telling if Rosko is going to show up. I already have Cam down for 1st dibs on the 1st empty seat but if you want to put in a 2nd reserve for the possible 2nd open seat then let me know now plz?

 

[freshseth83]

Yeah, put me down for it if theres an opening. I'm definitely quicker even with 1160kg. But my NSX isn't broken in yet and Ive been close on times... 1:09.1 on softs 1:10.484 on mediums.

 

[SkengD]

What time you guys got with the hsv ?

 

[freshseth83]

High 1:08s from a couple weeks back. It could go lower.

 

[SkengD]

I managed 1:07.6xx with the hsv an gtr , 1:08.0xx with a new supra , need to break it in and see what else i can get with it .

 

[joetruckv8]

1:08.297 <---- Gprilli (Petronas SC430)

Try the SC430 SkengD all data is good data! 👍

Seth those are pretty much my times too as of now, but I just saw Gprilli's corner speeds and trap down the straight with full downforce so I know what to shoot for!

 

[Willfred_1]

When we had a mini race race pace was 09 with an odd o8 but overtaking required you to get a better drive out of the corners or better on the brakes and wasn't as easy as others
However please try to watch out for knOcking people on to the grass

 

[SkengD]

Is it rolling starts for this series ? Sorry guys im bad at reading ops

 

[Willfred_1]

Is it rolling starts for this series ? Sorry guys im bad at reading ops

it is i would love a standing start in joes series one day

 

[SkengD]

it is i would love a standing start in joes series one day

Yeh we need to be doing standing starts with false check

 

[ZachAK47]

Standard starts won't happen due to the torque variations in the cars. If we can get the torque to be the same then we would do it

 

[Willfred_1]

it not just about torque though if your car has good rear end grip then it will can do just as well

 

[Pluxtheduck]

it not just about torque though if your car has good rear end grip then it will can do just as well

Plus a good first gear set up...

 

[Willfred_1]

having a standing start create an extra challenge at the moment i have a very long 1st and 2nd gear so 3 4 5 6 can be shorter but having to setup for a launch as well is fun.
you have to decide whether you gear the first few gears for acceleration knowing you might gain a place or two or do you keep it like it is to keep short gears

can we also do a nissan Vs honda table Vs lexus/toyota might encourage more teamwork within manufacturer groups
