BEST MOTORing Club

Welcome to the Best Motoring club! This is a gathering for all BM and HV fans. We will replicate the format of BM races in GT6 and relive some of the epic battles taken on Tsukuba, Suzuka, Fuji, and Motegi. In addition, certain elements from Hot Version will be implemented, namely the tuned cars and possibly some touge as well.

It is important to note that the main purpose of the club is not to compete against other drivers, it is to replicate the style of races found in Best Motoring. Fun is more important than winning.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Schedule​

Each week we will have a number of races. This number is not fixed, so some weeks there may be more races than others. This means that the date and times of the races are also not fixed. Although this may seem unorganized, it is to make sure everyone in the club will get a chance of racing at some point. Incidentally, I will not be the only one to host a race. You can too.

________________________________________ ________________________________________

Format​

As mentioned, the racing format will be based on the real Best Motoring. Generally, Tsukuba will be the main venue, but for more high powered cars, Fuji, Suzuka, and Motegi will also be used. 5 laps will be the default number of laps for each circuit, but this number can change depending on the situation.

The most realistic settings will be used for the lobbies.

________________________________________ ________________________________________

Cars​

For production cars, only Comfort tires will be used, never higher. Whether it is Comfort Hard, Medium, or Soft I will determine when I post the event.

________________________________________ ________________________________________

Drivers​

Currently we are only accepting North American players (unless you have a super good internet connection) with NAT Type 2 or higher.

[1241Penguin]

Awesome! I forgot to ask, but, when are you best available?

 

[Isho]

What do you mean with nat type 2 or higher? Having NAT type 3 isnt really a great idea lol.

 

[1241Penguin]

Higher than NAT Type 2 means NAT Type 1, doesn't it? Since it is "better," therefore it's "higher".

 

[Isho]

Higher than NAT Type 2 means NAT Type 1, doesn't it? Since it is "better," therefore it's "higher".

NAT type 2 is when you're correctly running from a router to the ps3, Nat type 1 is straight from the modem to the PS3. None of them matter as long as you dont have NAT type 3.

Correct me please if I'm off- that's 10 pm west coast US right?
Long time BM/HV/Option fan, first time GTP hot version participator.
I'll take the FD at Tsukuba if that works, or I'm flexible to drive another car/race.
Very excited, Thank you!

 

[elevensixty]

Assuming we're going 100% stock no tuning or power limiter-
oil change ok?
Abs on 1?
cars with traction control irl use in-game?

Also just so you know, testing on tsukuba cm has FD actually spinning tires a little down both straights, I'm playing by your rules just making sure you know default from dealer is sh

That's correct, 10 pm on the west coast.

The cars are 100% stock except for the tires, which I've switched to CMs because I believe SHs are semi-slick tires which wouldn't be used on the cars. No power limiter, oil change is okay, and ABS is on 1 except for cars which don't have it (I'll make a note of cars which have no ABS or TCS).

Updated. 👍

Please note that the '92 NSX-R has been added to the first two races. I apologize for the late notice, but I was not expecting to have six drivers initially (although I did have six cars ready for Race 3). Again, I apologize, and if you want to switch cars, you may. This won't happen again.

Also, to @BayouSimDrifter, @Richbsrc, @JTravis704, @elevensixty, and @Tacobell18, please add me on PSN as soon as possible. My PSN is R1241Penguin.

Thank you!

EDIT: I would also like to note that Comfort Softs will be used in place of Comfort Mediums. I did more testing, and initially I found that CS tires benefitted MR cars a lot more than other cars, but I didn't know this at first and thought that ALL cars were too fast with CS tires. Therefore I changed to CMs, and now I'm changing it back to CSs.

Hey everybody. Just an update. I won't be able to host any races for the upcoming months, as I'm busy with school and whatnot. However, anyone else can host races if they want. 👍
