Corvette mr stu?

It ran well at the quick monza test after the S2 Tokyo final round disaster. My worry is maybe i had the speed up bug. Still not tested the BMW but i have a liking for the Vette. Maybe sneek in my 905bhp RM'ed vette. :sly:

I'm not doing any further testing until the bugs sorted, you don't know what's what anymore.
Good car though.

I've been testing in offline practice mode which I'm assuming is bug free?

I really wanted to use the Jaguar for S3, but it's simply not up to scratch unfortunately

I think I've pretty much made my choice and I'll post the official entry pic very soon 👍
 
I tested all online at various Circuits and my statement for banning one car stays.
And I say bann a second Car.
I don´t want to use the annihilator Cars.
I don´t want to say the Models out loud but JB knows which cars I´m refering to.

Both are at least 1 second faster per Lap. And The fastest is 1 second faster than my 2nd fastest at Corner Tracks.

All other feel very close and just a little Setup tweak will bring them even closer together.
Maybe it´s my tuning style (minimum powerlimiter use) or my setup (not really I have good tunes for sure but not superb) or it´s the BUG.
=> PM sent to Gedi

I´ll test them offline (due to running them in because some have 3-5kw less power) maybe the result is different.
 
Dropping a couple of the cars will be no biggie King (is xtra weight an option?? maybe 1520kg??:sly:) still leaves us a good choice to pick from as long as things are as tight as can be. Offline i guess is a good way to test right now never even thought of that:dunce: Maybe the new tyre physics has thrown all my test results out the window it was before the update i can promise they all felt close to me (i did alot of laps!) but im glad we have some time while the bug issue is being sorted to iron a few things out.👍 Keep the testing going guys any feedback is welcome, personally im out of things for around a month Logitech will replace my wheel free of charge as its less than 2 years old bad news is it takes up to month poop DS3 is just a no go for me unfortunately oh well it is what it is..!!:indiff:

BTW if anyone fancies putting the S2 Alfa through its paces maybe we could throw that into the mix especially if we are dropping a couple it was a little off the pace when i tested it but who knows now!💡

If we did end up dropping the Amercan pair i like Rp a fan of the Jaguar would be casting my net elsewhere.:sly:

Pm replied! Can test them today king if you send one of them.
 
Rp got the Camaro thanks pal King still need your 2 please, Gedi i will dupe Rp's and send it over for you to do some testing on.👍
 
Ive got a good idea what one car is, can we share the info as I don't want to spend time testing cars what are going to be dropped?

Would supercharger/turbo with power reduction bring others in line?
 
I'm taking the plunge and submitting my entry now...

The BMW feels like a good package to me

RacerPaul
BMW M3 '07
Alpine White, black Prodrive wheels
OMB (One Man Band) Racing


I've had one request to team up and if that person wants to change to the BMW, I'm happy to form that team 👍

Camaro and Corvette are the 2 concerns Hanc we can always add extra weight maybe 1470kg just isnt enough if not im cool with dropping them Gedis gonna do some testing while im out of the loop extra bhp would be my preferance but the M3 is already maxed out. The more weight means more tyre wear in theory? I also thought maybe this would bring the Camaro/Vette back to the pack a little during the feature races? Sorry Hanc no secrets going on thought we all were sharing info if not we should be:sly:
Any new test results welcome and will be taken onboard, the more input the better S3 will surely be.👍

I've only done a little testing but would agree the cameo feels quicker then the rest including vette. Why not have a race tomorrow with cars just to see how they compare!

Good idea Hanc will be beneficial:tup: S3 will not start until we are 100% happy (cough cough and JB gets his wheel replaced!:sly:) 5 or 6 close cars sounds better than 8 with 2 stand outs running away with it.:dopey:
 
Maybe set a deadline. Maybe something like this-

If the online is not fixed by the 100th day of 2012, then season 3 is cancelled. Season 3 will then only occur when the interest from the racers has resumed and the service has been resolved.

If it ever took that long I'd be well gone by then.

What about Valentines day. No love from PD, then no love for GT5.

If the maintenance on the 18th or the update don't fix it then I will consider sticking S3 up Kaz's rear ventilation hole!
 
Did you read the news section on :GTPlanet:? Could you work around it somehow?

What about you free run in a room. Have a pace car lead you to a rolling start. Then run a set amount of laps. Could that work?

Yeah that could work!
What it says on the news about having small lobby's is a load of bull!
Our last race only had 7 ppl and we still had problems.
 
Is it worth trying a free run session. Get together as many cars as possible and see exactly what happens. Will not be able to use the pits properly though.

Think this was Hancocks suggestion aswell, i would also like some individual car race pace feedback everything feels a little up in the air right now.:crazy:

At least we know that kings theroy is right.
 
Me and tom was messing around in karts and V8s last night just 2 people in my lounge and we both kept getting D/Ced its getting stupid now this bug
 
@Gedi/JB: I couldn´t get to my PS3 yesterday => to whom can I send the Camaro and or the Corvette ??
If Gedi gets one Car first he can send it to JB afterwards and vice versa.

But I´ll test them offline today before I send them. :D
