Bridgestone Tour. FINISHED!

[DelboyD]

Just tried the SF on softs at Laguna Seca. Fast and furious!
Softs, plus having the power turned down a bit, mean loads of grip in the corners. Not using TCS.
The car feels more at home than it did during the daily races a few weeks ago at the same track.

Excellent choice for the final two rounds of the series.

Low 1:13s after 5 laps on full tank of fuel.

@Pigems I'm in the Honda, but I don't recall seeing we had to use one or the other.

 

[El_Beardo]

@Pigems, take your pick.

I'll be in the Toyota. It sounds much better than the Honda.

 

[Kermit_2142]

Can’t believe we’re at the final round already, and we extended the season by 2 rounds. Still remember round 1 having entered as a GTPlanet noob and just thinking “this is what GTS should be”

I don’t think I’ve ever driven the Honda, might have to give it a try.

 

[Pigems]

Made this one up this morning, but I’m feeling it may be a bit busy. I might try again, these cars are difficult to paint.

 

[The_Tullster]

@Pigems I feel your pain, I've found the same thing.

 

[Kermit_2142]

If in doubt, add glitter

This blew me away when I saw it last week 👍

How does that driver fit into those cars???

Anything fits if you try hard enough

Edit: I've just tried a lap with the boost, the car actually wheelies through the Corkscrew

 

[Kermit_2142]

Bonus point for the biggest wheelie ?? @El_Beardo

+10 points if you can get all four wheels off the ground.

Speaking of points, I REALLY need to update the points spreadsheet.

 

[Pigems]

Ok, I think I’m good now.

@GOTMAXPOWER What kind of times where you getting?

 

[El_Beardo]

Bit of an odd question. Anyone have a high res screenshot of the tyre wear at the end of the R8 race?

I can’t remember if I streamed that race, I think I did though. I’d be able to grab one from the stream if so, I’ll go check. 👍

Edit: Yup, I did.

@GOTMAXPOWER What kind of times where you getting?

Looking good 👍
The laps I did today were with fuel turned off and boost (I'm not sure how that matches the lobby settings) so quicker than they should be. In the practice we did after the last round my quickest was 1:09.5

 

[Kermit_2142]

I remember this part GG

 

[El_Beardo]

Lost all data on my points spreadsheet. So, I've copied everything over from a screenshot, to a published Google Sheet. If anything looks out of place, let me know. Am Cup points will be updated in the morning.

I might be able to get that done....even if it isn't planned. Although, I did get the Camaro ZL1 1LE to pull all 4 through Radillon in a DRWF race.

 

[Mistah_MCA]

these cars are difficult to paint.

I'm with you on that. I have a really hard time making liveries for oddly shaped vehicles. I had to ask someone else to make it for me.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Ready for my final bout. Full time action over on PC beckons after this.

Things are looking VERY interesting between @GOTMAXPOWER and @Mistah_MCA.

If we remove their two worst scores now, there are 5 points between them heading into the final round.

If Max wins race one, and Mistah wins race two, points will tie.

What happens then?? Most race wins gets it??

That is assuming we finish 1st and 2nd each race which hasn't happened 4 times out of 9 races so far. These cars drive totally differently to anything we've had to this point, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody else comes in with a win (Drex was a few tenths off at RBR, Kermit led most of last race, Pigems is always quick, etc).

1 on 1 demolition derby.

How good are you with SF? I'm mediocre at it, so if you're the same, then anyone who is half decent with them will beat us up.

Draft Saved.

I usually like it but that doesn't mean I'm any good, with the power/tyre settings it will race more like Scalextric than anything we've had in the dailies so no idea.

 

[El_Beardo]

If anyone's interested, I've got a quick test session open for my follow up to the Bridgestone Tour. Currently testing fuel load. Once that's done, I'll change settings to the SF at Laguna.

Car for the follow up series is the Gr.3 RCZ, at 106% power, 100% weight.
