[GODfreyGT5]

I hope you dont mean starting the championship...

nope, just the 'testing'

 

[GODfreyGT5]

Okay, we want to get as many people as possible on tomorrow night, for full grid testing with heavy damage.

 

[Joshua1994]

New thread with list of drivers/teams participating and so you have control over it?

 

[HMSMotorsport]

yea will do once i know the mods wont shut it down lol

 

[GODfreyGT5]

Dayum the ring is evil with heavy damage, you get one wheel hit and it's near impossible to finish without atleast one more, if your still going for a fast time.

I managed to hold Kamy for one lap, both with damaged wheels, and after he decided not to pit I had to follow to be within a chance of winning. This of course saw me finishing over a minute later than him with three bent wheels.

Good racing mate

 

[mcgloney]

I think the bmw's are now a bit of a threat for the honda's. Also MX-5's are getting pretty close as well. This will be a good championship for sure!

There just going to be battles every where on the track.

 

[Paginas1]

Sorry been a bit busy over the last few days, ive got a few questions lol

1. When/what day will be the race day?
2. I dont think i have a team mate anymore? If someone needs or wants a team mate then im avaliable

[mcgloney]

3. Tonight.

 

[priesty_lfc]

Could be the return of the PS store.

 

[priesty_lfc]

I've not been on today but a mate was on till 12 so it's gone down since then, I cant see anything online about it being down as ps uk says the network is on??

 

[mcgloney]

It's on now.

 

[KamyKaze1098]

I'm in my room testing.
Feel free to join.

After some testing at GVE, I think we can drop the "Integra is so fast" talk for good.
I have a great amount of track time with it, specially at GVE, so I can set a quick time at the first try with my eyes closed.
So with that in mind I set a good time with the Integra, and then took some other cars to the track. All this was done Online.



Bear in mind I didn't have the right setups for the other cars. The Volvo felt like a boat on turns(actually like Titanic itself), the Beemer and the MX-5 were too loose and I had troubles on braking with the rear steping out. The Focus and 207 felt different than the Integra but still fast. There's a time on the image from priesty_lfc, who was running a Standard Focus.

Conclusion:
I think we capped the Integra allready, we might even capped it too much.
Hope to see other Integra drivers on track soon to see how the do it in the field.

The other thing was with the C30 for me I was running a very aggressive set-up to try and get the lap times, but I was obviously getting lots of tyre wear - that's why I've switched to the MX5

 

[mcgloney]

It's hard to say what car will win. Because now 135i is showing to be a strong car also the mx-5 and 207. I don't think the Ford ST has it to be in the top field nor does the RS. But they will make it more interesting for the mid field with Golf , C30 , Megane , Atenza and Vectra. But saying that ANY thing can happen. But i can safety say the Honda's have got a battle on there hands.

 

[GODfreyGT5]
