<- BTCC-7 -> Ian_83 is the Champion!Finished

[True-blue-8]

sorry for last night guys, my connection is not good enough from my bedroom. my dad getting annoyed i use the TV so im practicing upstairs but i should be ok when the season starts.
The nissan is struggling at spa, and the 5 speed gearbox doesn't help. But its a great handling car and maybe it's just the track. how does it compare to the other cars on different tracks?

 

[Ian_83]

The talk of an update worries me more than anything, because that always has the potential to change the cars and also ruin the hard work spent tuning a car. PD are renowned for changing things and I'm expecting it to be the same with GT6.

If an update happens before the 6th, we'll have to see what has altered and make sure that everything is still good to go.

Rolo - myself and Canyon will be team Perfect Apex Racing.

I'm still aiming to get my internet more stable by the 4th, so that gives me a couple of evenings to test prior to the race. *Gulp* I'm usually off the pace to begin with, so I might struggle to qualify for this round.

The FR and FF balance has always been difficult and probably always will be. I still have fond memories of season 5 at Indy Road Course.... I was racing the VW and I had Red_Leader all over my rear bumper through the bends, but I could leave him on the straights. It was great fun.

The FF's will always have the straight line advantage, but that's purely because the FR's are clearly better on the bends.

so far no GT update was ever so destructive...

i wouldn't postpone the serie for that, but it's rolo's call

Not too bad everywhere else. I never tested at Spa because of its late addition to the calendar.

👍

Definitely no postponement as of now. Let's see what happens.

 

[True-blue-8]

I got ONE QUESTION: DOING A BRAKE LATE FOR OVERTAKING ANOTHER OPPONENT IS DIVEBOMBING?

If you brake late and ram it up the inside then yes!👎

Read the OLR rules and guidelines if you haven't already you sure as heck should.💡👍

 

[Scaniabebe]

Going to be honest, did that rather badly to SnowCrash in TOCA the other week! Almost turned him around at the chicane at Nurburgring G/P! First time I've ever actually done a proper divebomb on anyone!

Still, on the subject of high speed tracks, I've noticed the Peugeot only has 5 Gears, not 6?!

 

[True-blue-8]

peugeot 5 gears? at least nissan not the only one

 

[Scaniabebe]

Overall, the Peugeot is just slow

 

[Harsk100]

I think that the Hyundai is the fastest of BTCC so far....

I practiced yesterday on Spa and got 2'38.xxx

This is a good, late braking pass



This is a divebomb



PS. Sorry for inactivity over testing, is there the option to change car? May well do so.....

In this case, the Honda at right side made contact with Matt Neal which caused an rage quit on Neal.

Haha, I guess though it was Neal that made the divebomb on Gordan Shedden. I remember this, I was like . Oh no, don't get me started with the BTCC videos. I have a race to run.

Incorrect...
Neal went up the inside, locked up and Sheddon was taking the normal racing line. Neal actually hit Sheddon - taking them off.

This is what worries me about you fella tell me who's fault is it in this incident?

Hard to say, depends on the incident. Chances are if you drive into someone when you don't have sufficient overlap, then that's dirty driving and it will be penalised.

Overall, the Peugeot is just slow

Not really. Times with it are perfectly comparable to the field at current spec.

@neljack Car choice is free until Round 1. Change however many times you want until then, if there's room to do so. Same applies for everyone.

You'll need to be going a couple of seconds quicker than that to be on pace.

 

[Harsk100]

Why? There's a car faster than Hyundai?

 

[quade420]

Why? There's a car faster than Hyundai?

Haha, they're all pretty even. But with lots of practice I've managed a pb of 26.2. average is high 26's for me.

 

[rolo912011]

Why? There's a car faster than Hyundai?

Not necessarily. It's just that a few drivers have been setting 2:36s.

 

[Harsk100]

Can you tell me the example of one of the cars of one of the drivers??

 

[rolo912011]

I've done a 2:36.4 in a Ford. As quade says, he can do high 36s in his BMW.

I've got two series starting and potentially a lot of enjoyable racing to be had this week.

My series' are on as usual.

I think not lol. I guess I agree with it in principle but it will never work.

Lol no surprise this was ignored.

That was definitely Matt's fault but his dad owns the team so it was ok As for the Soper/Cleland incident, well 20 years on the jury is still out on that one.

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Was aimed at one guy in particular mate didn't expect him too know the answer.

 

[neljack]

May I change my car to the Focus please?

 

[True-blue-8]

awwww guys, these videos ITV4 have recently shown a programme on Touring car legends, and there was a huge debate over that cleland incident. just wish i was alive then :\ I still get so happy when i see that honda crash. Neal's fault definitely and it makes me so happy being a huge Plato fan
