Super confused by what rims cars can and can't have

Try testing 1 set then leaving your lobby and trying another set and another set over and over and over again now thats confusing. (Even this sentence is)

 

[Gedi69]

Do you think its worth checking again? Because all the evidence i read says this shouldn't be the case.

I hear what your saying but my test with the BMW says otherwise.
I will test it again tho 👍

 

[Gedi69]

I will open the lobby about 7.30pm tonight 👍

Toad if the M3's not quite there how about its daddy the M5?💡 It actually handles imo as well if not better than the M3

 

[Gedi69]

lets see how it goes tonight,it was good at indy

 

[V8-Johnboy]

[Gedi69]

Just firing up now 👍

Good evening !
I'm getting room full. Any tips for for the old boy ?

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Below is where myself and Gedi are to date.

BMW M5 2008 562bhp/1420kg

Corvette Stingray C7 2014 562bhp/1420kg

Jaguar XJR-S 2011 552bhp/1420kg

Dodge Viper GTS 2013 562bhp/1420kg

Maserati GT 2008 591bhp/1420kg

Lexus ISF 2007 591bhp/1420kg

So far the Corvette seems to be quicker with the stock wheels. We continue to grind and overcome GT6's deficiencies Expect inevitable further changes/news!

BMW M5 will replace the M3 for now. M3 despite its bhp just isn't quite cutting it sadly Hopefully you guys can hook up with us again next week:tup: Theres no way we can find things out like draft issues without ya Now what to do about it.

 

[Gedi69]

Keep testing I spose.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Keep testing I spose.

Good news is alones a bit pointless

Lol

Nice to be back guys
That was my 2nd sesh with cars and I managed a 47.7 with the ole trusty Lexus. And with the Maserati a 47.2. Might have been that I was just getting used to track but, the Maserati feels real good ! Corvette felt like it wanted to depart the track all the time but that maybe just down to a crook setup.
All in all good fun. And that's what it's all about ! 👍

Great effort from the series bosses to get me in the room. Chars chaps.

 

[Gedi69]

Not sure what went on with you keep getting kicked, but very nice to have you back 👍

Was odd maybe one or both of you need to reboot under such circumstances Nevermind we overcame.

Guys revised spec after recent testing/data collaboration.

Jaguar 562bhp/1420kg ~ Given 10 bhp boost hasn't sent it through the roof single lap wise and gained 1 mph down the Monza straight requires further race pace testing struggled with the straight stuff.

Maserati 591bhp/1420kg ~ Sy ive found it very quick and a marked improvement on the GT5 version. Noted your performance comments were positive.

BMW M5 572bhp/1420kg ~ Too late an entry to test for race pace monday slightly off at 562bhp given a further 10bhp boost for now race pace testing required(early days).

Viper 562bhp/1420kg ~ Strong single lap pace. Similar issues to the Jag down the straight stuff at 552bhp will stick with current spec and race test further. Joe comments noted and thank you.

Corvette 562bhp/1420kg ~ Bit of a handful compared to some does all its work down the straights (nothing new there!) Stays as it is for now. Usual ploppy Corvette brakes.....Stu.

Lexus ISF 591bhp/1420kg ~ Seems there or there abouts for me single lap wise. Chris's Lexus chewed my Jag up and spat it out down the Monza straight. Chris any concerns info let me know happy to look at it.

Come Monday myself and Gedi intend to revert back to the weak draft settings to see if that helps the straight line stragglers. Failing that adding weight and power to these cars may be an option.
We'd be extremely grateful if as many of you as possible could join us for Mondays test we wont be starting this until these cars are as nailed as we can possibly get them.

[neljack]

Think with the replay problems and all the other stuff a February start will be lucky at this rate

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Yup the powers that be have already had this chat sadly Nel We'll carry on with the test nights for now patience is a virtue and all that.

Hey guys, how's it going?

I see a race day hasn't been confirmed yet and providing it doesn't clash would anyone be interested in joining the FGTC? I've raced with a few of you before and know your clean and fair and we could do with a few more racers.

We had out first race of the season tonight, so it's not too late to join!

Good luck with the V8s chaps!!
