BST V8 challenge S2 "The new breed" Reserves needed!

[Gedi69]

Pm'd everyone in the field regarding time slot change nobody has reported back with any problems, so from Daytona onwards if gedi agrees i will try to get the lounge open around 6.45pm GMT with qualifying starting at 7pm and race 1 will commence at 7.30pm GMT.👍
Race 2 will get going around 5 minutes after race 1 so puff quick Will check and double check everyone is present and ready then hit the go button!!!

Or just set the race timer so race starts dead on 5 mins just like what furi does in toca.

 

[Gedi69]

I hate Tsukuba mainly cause I got a pole and two wins there last season(Perfect night) only to find out it didn't count for anything.

Akmuq I postponed that race before the races started!! It's not my fault no one listened or took notice!!

I feel Daytona is going to be an Audi track again, for what I've experienced, it really doesn't show love to oversteering cars

No Carbon, you don't show love to oversteering cars.

doesn't show love to oversteering cars

With the benefit of hindsight, I should have picked the Audi. It's 4wd is a big advantage
in both terms of traction and spreading tyre wear around the car

But...

When it comes to looks, my SLS AMG is imo the best looking car on the grid

 

[Hancock]

Interestingly (maybe lol), I've gone the opposite way and piled some weight onto my SLS

Up from 1325kg to 1420kg, much nearer the weight of my S1 winning Camaro

That's allowed me to get the power up from 492bhp to 511bhp, and I feel more comfortable
in the Merc now

I need a good showing at Daytona Road

On power circuits try reducing downforce and increasing bhp, might help out more then you think!

 

[VRracingfan]

Well done to Furi on getting back in the series, only just heard. Good luck to you and my former team mate Tom. I will (hopefully) be changing team or independent name anyway.

 

[KingSakery]

So is it 6:45 GMT or is it 6:45 BST ??

I have tested with power and weight etc but my result is the same (almost). I´m not faster if I add weight and add power => my Car stays the same.
Did my first 22 Laps on Daytona and my Nemisis turns are the fast chicanes. I frequently misbrake. There is no sign/object/shadow where I can set my brakepoint.
Best time: 1:44.318
But 1:45´s are more common

Turn 1 is no problem since I learned it through GT5: Prologue

Short Question: I think the pitexit is quite dangerous. GT5P had the better Pitexit. For our race: Should we use the small lane at turn 1 ?? (behind the barrier)
Well I will do anyway because if someone is in the braking phase and someone comes out of the pits it will cause a major issue for both.

6:45 GMT. And where do we come out pits? I think we should go through full pit lane...

That's fair then and cuts out any grief.

Well some of it anyway.

I might have to miss daytona if this neck don't get better... Or I could use the ds3!

Im with King and Furi full pit lane is safer.💡

 

[VRracingfan]

Is he alright?

Trapped nerve hes a gedi sure he will live.

Okay, so. Track boundaries.

Turn 4, on exit. Stay within the white line on exit.

BAD

GOOD

While on the oval, stay above the yellow line. Anything below the yellow line is not track.

BAD

In the Bus Stop chicane, curb is track. Keep at least two wheels on the track.

BAD

Pit entrance, Do not cross the thick yellow line. Pull onto the apron before it starts. Also, try to stay within the thick yellow line and the white line.

GOOD

BAD

Now this is the important part:

On pit exit, make sure to use the entire pit exit. Violators WILL be penalized.

Although there is no speed limit, stay within the white lines on pit exit, as well.

GOOD

BAD

I pulled this up from Integras it shows track boundaries and how you should do the pit exit here...

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Very helpful Paul thank you we have all been warned these are our guidlines.^^

 

[paulmac2k9]

best re post it since its on the last page so could be missed by some sorry JB i couldnt find the WSGTC one but the Integra one should do....

I haven't done a proper length online race at Daytona yet, gonna be a thriller

 

[paulmac2k9]

im in luck ive done 3 races all over 30 laps (WSGTC, Integras and Lotus 111RMs)
But 4wd audi will be a different challenge but i rate this as one of my favorite tracks it has also given my best ever race in WSGTC where i managed to race Aderrrm who would normally be over 2 secs a lap faster, although we work on a ballast penalty for the top 3 (in every race) so Aderrrm had the max 200kgs as he won Monaco with 180kgs (he also won overall WSGTC)

We Started up the Season 3 thread (starts January) also so if anyone here is interested in joining us to race in Gt500 or Gt300 your more than welcome as some of our regulars might not be able to race for next season 👍

Dont worry lads the phantom DC will kick in to give us all a chance!!..............JOKE!!!

 

[paulmac2k9]

nah wierldy my connection gets better when it feels like and ive not had the problem of it going off/on since saturday 22nd of October (i think my balling over the phone to AOL made them sort it "or Else" ) where i DCed from the series i run at 2am Uk, its Us based night time and its based on a production series over there i also won all the races up to then in the Mighty Mini

 

[Tom]

Just thought I should give my new band a plug

See here

Other than that, I'm not hopeful of a strong result at Daytona as the Lotus' will dominate..

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

Yeah you guys said that about le mans and look what happened

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Dont like it cant put more than 3 laps together before a crash/mistake i fear total carnage.

^Very strong series. Going from competing in race wins in the V8's and TOCA to being in the midfield for WSGTC came as quite a big shock.

No they won't, there's turns here.
