@Ghaek give feedback on the HSV when you get the chance. Please tell us the downforce levels aren't the same pathetic levels of the Audi R8 LMS!
Understood!
Ok so, here are my impressions after doing 4 - 5 laps in Suzuka with the RAYBRIG HSV-010, everything set default and RS tyres (and take note of this: also DEFAULT AERO).
In my opinion, and you'll be surprised, it has improved a lot. I couldn't do a deep test, but I felt the next:
-The car turns better/faster than in GT5, for instance, while I was in the last chicane, I did the same as in GT5 with the NSX, and I felt I'd be able to brake late. Then when I turned the wheel, I took the interior of the corner much faster than in GT5.
-Also I felt like the car was stuck in the tarmac but when I put 1 of the tyres on the grass I lost a lot of control (with real grip on wet/edge).
But I haven't tested the Weider 2011 yet, and I guess (I hope I'm wrong) it's the same as in GT5, so that means the 2012 HSV's are better than 2011's. On the other hand, if they haven't improved the HSV 2011, I'm sure that they haven't improved the GT-R's or the SC430's as well. But I repeat: I haven't tested them yet.
PS: Ah, @trustjab you asked me about the Audi R8 LMS, I haven't tested it neither, so I can't say you if R8's downforce levels are better than HSV's.

You got lap times yet Ghaek? If you're running near 1:55 @suzuka with default setup and 500ps on medium tires thats a decent time. If you're faster than that then the cars are better. I will test later today when I pick up my copy. Fresh has his setup saved so he will repeat it with the same spec as season 1 to get a feel for the differences. Then I will report back what he says.

In the official site says something about B-Spec, so it has to be there, but I don't know where ^^
And the most important, you have to own the National A Licence to join Online races, so hurry up all those who won't have the copy till late.
@trustjab I don't know, I didn't look at the times LOL, but of course, they're faster than in GT5. Depending on how faster they are, maybe 500ps will be good and we won't have to add more power.

royal mail was originally owned by the state but to reduce the burden it brings it was partially privatised since then the quality of the service has gone down hill

This works for me, I rather the whole planet have a united car regs them mis matching everything. Anyways I'm sure we all will be turning laps like crazy, and I ask everyone to keep posting their thoughts. Like Zach said the best thing to do is have some practice races to get a final reg tune on the chassis.
I will be releasing the GT500, GT300, GT3 master reg list this weekend for drivers to have a base line to go off of. All & all our final GT300 race reg's were perfect from the couple of practice races we did, including the Allstar race at the Ring. And the FIA GT3 cars were balanced between all the 50/70 DF cars once we got to the close of Blancpain (I had no complaints). I personally don't think our current Autobacs GT500 reg's were that far off in the 1st place as balancing goes, maybe a kg here or there. But guys remember that some of our adjustment/regs for this current GT 500 season were based off of chassis not being raced do to popularity. We gave the NSX's a break to get drivers in those seats, and we gave the SC430 a upgrade to intice drivers for those seats as well. It wasn't all just about balancing'

Maybe so, but remember I said the master list is just a base line for guys to start from. Not that I intend for those regs to hold.
Especially so for the GT3 cars, the GT 500's are pretty balanced naturally. I really wish we could just get the current GT3 cars from FIA each year as a download like how Madden does.

- Salt Lake City,
Tested the anniversary HSV at Fuji on Hard tires. Braking can be done much deeper on the front straight. Without changing much on the car but dropping to 498hp/1100kg, immediately ran in the 1:35's. Tire grip is great even on the hards. I think putting mediums on it would gain at least a second. Still handles great and even with the added power its pretty easy to control.
