You testing it stock? Because it has 220 points front downforce while other cars come stock with 300+ points. This is the same thing seth noticed when doing 90's fia. Thats why he never specs cars stock because the differences are inflated by their standard setups.

Hhowever it still has a lot of mechanical grip and so is quick
Also note that when zach say stock he means standard setup but with max downforce
 
The r8 and gtr aren't actual that bad stock. Just throttle control lol.

Main problem with them is consistency. But if you cautious and concentrate you can drive it round the track in a straight line in a fast manner.

Personally out of all the actual gt3s the gtr and the r8 are the best. They have the most potential

He didnt say max downforce. He didnt say anything. Thats why I asked if it was stock. Even with full downforce that means little. You still have odd gear ratios where some cars are set for 300kmh and others 350kmh as top speed.
 
Can I just say:

The main gt3 championship is the blancplain endurance championship right? Go to their website/wiki and look at the 2013 season. Look at the cars entered. Not a ford gt or corvette there.

These cars aren't raced and don't have a right to be in the gt3 series.

Now I respect that the ford gt and corvette are fia homogulated gt3 chassis. But the cars in this game aren't! The fia gt3 and the American gt3 are different specs. Completely different.

We could run an American gt3 championship. Or we can run a fia gt3 championship. But we can't take cars from both.
 
Alright tyres for preseason will be RM.

For the real season
RD 1 will be RH/RM
RD 2 will be RM/RS
RD 3 will be RH/RM
RD 4 will be RM/RS
RD 5 onwards will be the most popular combo (everybody will vote)

So either way we running RM so that's why preseason will be done on RM tyres

The Vette and GT40 are staying in the grid. It was decided already. :)
 
How are you guys going to do anything before we winter test a damn thing, really guys!?!?!?!

I really like how everyone is debating on what they found out, when we all did reging differently privately. I posted very simple instructions, come up with theoretical reg's post them if you like for others to try out or build from (not talk bad about somebody's work was not included in my statement), and bring them to Winter Testing to be demonstrated in front of everyone. Very simple!!!

I have not talked bad about anyone reg's because I'm curious to what people came up with. I know I've had up to 8 guys at once test my regs at 6hr sessions each and there good, so plz don't tell me mine wont work before you guys try them out 1st!

And the no Americans irl racing is crazy! Just simply because they haven't been on the FIA GT1 grid in the last 2 years. That's the only series who hadn't a Chevy Team registerer 1. All other series are currently running them; so change the name to SupercarChallenge, or Le Man series and I think FIA GT3 has them on grid too, our even the Le Mans series American, Asian, or Europe and so on,.. Change the name to that then! Seth is running a FIA 90's series with a 2000 Dodge Viper on grid and no one is giving him 🤬 about his technicals. It's not my fault GT5/6 can't get the cars right. I just like naming my stuff irl names, because it makes me feel good. Ill change the name to Joe's GT then.

What's Important
We need 8 cars on grid to do teams so having 4 to 5 chassis won't cut it and I'm not running 1 of 4 of the Audi's that only a handful of drivers want to challenge driving because I simply can't drive them on GT6. I will pull Into the pits and collect last place points if that's the case.
Why don't you guys calm down and wait till jan 25th to do your poling. I won't complain them because everyone would demonstrated their reg's and 1 would of been picked may it be short the Americans cars. I just can't appreciate my 12 hrs of testing with 8 drivers to be ousted before being demonstrated in front of everyone

1 last thing!

Zach I absolutely don't agree with some of your tire compound choices . 1st of all I would run RS/RM at Brands Hatch & Apricot Hill, and run RM/RH at Silverstone & Bathurst. Tracks that actually have hi pace and mileage on them. I do see how you did I think so I'm not jumping on your case like you did something wrong intentionally but I think, 2 of the tracks should be switched

I'm currently working on balancing in the Anniversary models for the chassis that just don't make the cut but this is a personal test only and not to be thought as something that is going to happen Offically. Now you can start the bashing! 👍 well at least some of you, the rest of you guys are MADD cool and chilled out until the right time.
 
Hi Joe, just a quick one. I run whatever regs are given to us anyway but i just want to know how a full grid testing decides on the regs? Some people are faster or slower than others and in race conditions or running in a pack won't give a true indication of what car is overpowering another etc.

Will the group testing or individual testing be the deciding factor?

Oh and also the only major thing wrong i've found so far was in Jav's regs the SLS was overpowered or the Z4 was underpowered. I was in the Z4 and in the SLS' draft but it wouldn't pull up to it, infact i think it was getting further away. On the other hand the SLS shot right upto the Z4 and flew by. I don't know if this happens in your regs but it's something to look out for.
 
Hey. I haven't had a go at anybody's regs. Just given my regs my data and voiced my opinion.

Also as far as I knew we had only agreed on the tracks and the tyres, not a running order of the tracks. By all means we can shuffle stuff about but I didn't even know we had an order yet.

Once all the testing is done everybody will vote on their favourite regs. Most popular are the ones we use

Very Good Questions indeed! 👍

ANS 1. Everyone has tried the go to different tracks and add or take away performance in order to produce similar lap times. I believe running the cars in full attack mode under racing conditions (long stints & tuned) is the way to go because a full on race tells you the most about the cars racing together Imo. I've tried them both. My argument to the 1 driver adding and taking away performance is that driver A can be slower in a particular chassis and therefore add performance while Driver B can potentially jump in that same car with the new reg's and run way faster than the original tester Driver A did. We have all tried running solo's and we have tried small pack racing just a few laps maybe, I did 20 lappers in my session, and I got up alongside drivers with hi hp, and low hp to see if i would blow right passed them with the higher hp. Eventho the SLS has higher hp It didn't necessarily smoke the other cars on the straight anyways. My test group is going to Daytona Road & Monza Tomorrow to test the top speeds of the newly edited version of our reg's (Tyson, Joe, Oz (who is fast as hell, and others), but I mind you to understand and respect the fact that I have only did 2 testing days to produce my reg's and they are pretty good from our testing. that's only 2 days of test due to all the holidays and kids, so imagine if I had 2 full weeks to make minor adjustments. As of now I know I'm confident that I can balance our current entire grid with a few tricks I just noticed that the game leaked out, and now I'm wondering did PD do that because 2 of the chassis are naturally slow and the other 1 is hard to drive. I don't care who's reg's we test by the end of Season 1 there will be minor adjustments made to anyone's reg's on the planet! I personally go to hi Df, low Df, and mid Df tracks to get my #'s and the Chevy ZR-1 did not win all the races. matter of fact the Zo6 was faster at brands Hatch just recently. The 4 round Test session is setup to go to 2 small tracks 1st then a real GP circuit and then Bathurst for straight line testing. I'm also taking my other series to Daytona road this weekend to get top mph #'s before I ask you guys to try them.

ANS 2: I have not gotten the chance to run Jav's reg's so far but I planned on running them Tomorrow Night at our 3rd Practice Session. Ultimately none of these reg's will be perfect until we tune the cars and run full on races to insure quality!

Ps: I will be taking the car pics this weekend and this op will be re done under the GT6 racing section come late Monday at the latest!

I think it depends on who is driving and which track youre running. No way all the cars will be equal everywhere. Thats the good thing. Your Z4 might not be great at Spa but it can keep up. You might have the GTR sucking at Brands but it is killer at Monza. Thats called variety, carr choice and track list should be the definition of that.

Yup you have to pick your cars with track list in mind, its part of Irl racing politics'
 
Not much of a question, more a statement. I hate these cars with weight, especially near 200kgs. My tyres just light up all the time.
