PS: The Integra really needs to be capped somehow.
I did around 20 laps in the 135i and the best i achive was a low 06 if i remember.

Was this in free run or a 20 lap ingle race?

 

[D-Max]

Is it still possible to sign up? (even as a reserve?)

Yes it is.. Look to see who doesnt have a team at the moment and see if you can join up with thm preferably?

 

[D-Max]

As for you guy with setup etc.. I run in a few race series and have always tuned my cars and i use my actual knowledge of being a mechanic t setup the cars so if anyone needs help just ask someone.. No-one will tell you no im sure. We're going to be a racing group so im sure others will share information on how set the car up. Suspension tuned along with LSD can improve or destroy your race!

 

[cally-dave]

Hey guys, read through this fully last night, and I have to say, I love the idea

I would love to sign up, and take part, but unfortunately, my internet connection isn't upto the job, so would give me serious lag..... nevermind

I will however follow this with interest, and will be testing all of the acceptable cars on the first page to see how they all feel and go!

Keep up the good work guys, I'm looking forward to seeing this take off

 

[D-Max]

Your always welcome to try it mate.. GTWelsh's connection is ridiculously bad but when race day comes its pretty good for some reason lol.. Worth a try?

 

[GTWelsh]

Haha, don't hurt my connections feelings man !

I'm just getting some GT cash lol So will just be checking this from time to time

 

[D-Max]

Face it.. It sucks lol Should.. Should have the Oddie sorted tomorrow mate.. New coilovers and wheels arriving Also considering a Black Respray..

Was this in free run or a 20 lap ingle race?

It was offline on practice, trying to chase my Integra's ghost.

Ofc i was not succeded. Lol

 

[D-Max]

A Integra will probably be nice with running 485pp
Civic '08 running 490pp
Civic EP & Focus running 495pp

Just a few ideas to even out the pack.

The Focus is very slow on 500PP on GVE in Practce mode and thats coming from me lol.. at best i done a 1:05.673.. Most cars so fa i've cracked the 1:04.9/1:05.1 mark

 

[GTWelsh]

Nice !

BRIGHT white ftw on new Audi's

Then again its the common colour on the nice ones, can't be common now can we !

I'm on chat, but like I said, I'm on Indy getting cash


Anyone interested, if you don't want to register on the chat, use any username that would make it obvious it's you then don't use a password


Edit... Ok Jimmy, no need to cap it then

So you're saying other cars are being as fast as the Integra??
No need to cap it??

 

[D-Max]

I'm saying thats how i can tune em.. they have the potential and Driver skill plays a HUGE part in that. I can honestly say im a good racer with these types of car!

But i say the Focus doesnt need capped.. The Integra thugh.. It is fast with lesser driver skill so therefor needs capped

 

[Andil]

Heh, I don't think it needs capping... Me and Kamy did a lot of tuning too to get to a 1:05 laptime. If "most cars" can do a 1:04.9 then I think we're on a pretty level playing field, apart from driver skill and tuning ability.

 

[D-Max]

Yeah but ive spent ALOT of time tuning these cars and like i said i know how to tune em well...

Most will lose atleast 1 if not 2 seconds on tuning and drver ability per lap!

 

[Gt5anticip8r]

The Civic is now running consistent low 1.06's and 1.30's. It feels almost effortless! I'm probably not going to risk making the car undrivable just to get another 0.1 or so. While I was at it, I ran round the Nord and pulled a 7.15.368 (Brought back some BTCC style photo's)

 

[D-Max]

That is a true BTCC image lol

 

[priesty_lfc]

Sounds about right,

my PB is 1:07.012 but thats with stock tranny/suspension/lsd/camber (stock as in upgraded but with default numbers)

My tune will be sorted soon but I hope it can do the numbers your talking about!

I think think people should also realise that a wheel (if people are using one) will be faster along with running MT (again i'm unfourtunatly running a DS3 with AT )

 

[dragon-jake]

Remember my team needs another driver due to me having to go back to college

 

[GTWelsh]

^^ Honda Civic Type R '08 up for grabs there !! ^^

Jimmy, Golf Mk 5 GTI ?

Or Mk 4, not fussed
?

 

[D-Max]

yeah manual is a huge help but i can manage those times on a ds3 but thats time spent on the drivig line and the setup of the cars

 

[RufusGonePunk]

The latest news on PSN is that it'll be back by the end of this week, latest, could even be tomorrow. That's from this article.

I'll then be able to send you a 330i to try out Jimmy, if you haven't already got one.

 

[priesty_lfc]

MT and DS3? Can I ask what button set up you use?

I use L2 brake R2 Accel but find it hard to map buttons for gear up/down

We can hope eh? Sucks that's been down for this long, I just hope they sort it.

 

[Joshua1994]

I use L3 for shifting down, R3 for shifting up, works like a charm.

 

[GTWelsh]

MX5 sounds good jimmy

 

[D-Max]

l2 brake r2 accelerate L1 shift down Triangle shift up

 

[D-Max]

got a 330i also.. done a 1:05.3 in it at a hard push

 

[GTWelsh]

I'de love to use that

Regardless of speed

 

[D-Max]

330i?

 

[GTWelsh]

aye

 

[dragon-jake]
