You've been added to the registry, as well as everyone else. I'm browsing your photo albums, some really great shots! Might have to make you the official series photographer.

Great, stupid time zones preventing me from doing this 👎

I've made a thread in the social group for everyone to post photos in. Unfortunately you can't use BBB code in a social group so we can only post links, but you can also add them to the groups photo album and they will show up at the top of the page.

Is the Saturday time slot no good for you? That's generally the best time for UK drivers, it's hard to host one during the week at a UK friendly time because a lot of us are still at work.

RE: new car under proper HP

I had the same problem in the last time with my car not having up to the right HP, and was very confused.
As it turned out, it was a combination of no oil change, not broken in, and one of the pieces was I think purchased but without a check mark, so it was not actually equipped. (I don't remember what piece it was though, or why it was not check marked.)
Plus, I seem to remember that the car was easier to muck with the transmission & get it work okay, after I was able to do the engine overhaul.
That said, the transmission need to be tinkered much more in this car than any other car I have used. And perhaps it's that every little bit of hp counts in such a low hp car that's maxed out.

RE: lady on the track

Recently in races in which I have participated, I learned that I have raced with a lady in several races without ever knowing that.
Lesson learned: Unless you're super-sure of gender of all (maybe because of mic usage lol)... expect someone may be a lady & you don't know it!

bender2011 referenced the famous New Yorker cartoon, which I think is in poor taste in this situation, but somehow fitting & funny anyway:

Rather unfortunately I take part in a TOCA Race Series on Saturday which starts at 8

Glad to hear you got it straightened out, I think I'll make a note in the OP since this issue effects everyone. 👍

We already have a driver with black car/black wheels. I don't mind if you both have the same colors but I think we all prefer to see lots of different colors so we can learn to spot other drivers by their car color alone. Whenever I see a Capp Cup picture and there's a pink Cappy in there I know it's Snoopy. Just thought I'd point that out in case you hadn't noticed that somebody already had an all black car.

Hi, I'm new here, and this will be my first race. #40 Fluff408/Fluff408, Tuesday primary, Friday sometimes, Saturday sometimes, Plazma Blue Silica body, sunburst yellow wheels.

 

[VRracingfan]

Am I alright still with my mustard yellow as I noticed another saturday driver with a yellow car?
Also what times are competitive at cape ring south?

 

[BrandonW77]

Multiple colors is ok. We had a slew of green and then blue Capp's last season and it kinda got hard to tell who was who, that's the only reason I mentioned it. As long as they're a little bit different (different shade or different color wheels) that should be good enough.

I haven't done any competitive times at Cape Ring yet but based on the little bit I've run and comparing to drivers in the first season, I'd say 1:25-1:26 is going to be the target range.

I painted my car banana yellow, but it came out a sort of green. It's very strange. You'll see it in your rear view mirror when the season starts!

Edit: Or just look at my avatar <---- Think I'll have to have a word with the guys in the paint shop as I don't think the equipment was clean. That is not yellow!

I love how our drivers do reverse trash talking!
"Oh yeah?! Well I bet you beat me by 2 laps!!"

Whenever I see a pink car in any online races I'm in, I know it's Snoop!

 

[VRracingfan]

Are the 1:25 and 26s set by wheel users?

 

[OwensRacing]

Practice session??

 

[BrandonW77]

Are the 1:25 and 26s set by wheel users?

I haven't seen times from anyone else, when I was testing to figure out how many laps to do I got a high 1:27 and I use a G27 wheel. There were a few drivers last season that were always 1-2 seconds faster than me so I was estimating 1:25-1:26's. Some are wheel users but I know at least one uses a controller.

 

[BrandonW77]

My lounge is open for Preseason Practice. We'll do hot lapping for a while and some short practice races so everybody can start getting their Capp's broken in. *CLOSED*

If you haven't done so yet, add me on PSN: BrandonW77

I think B is afraid I'm gonna start another 'Capp Gang'.

 

[BrandonW77]

So far Lancer has the fastest lap at 1:27.164 and it's been there for a while, so maybe 1:25's are a little further off than I thought.

Huh!? I was just in my lounge with 5 or 6 others, I left to do a chassis restore and now I can't get back in my lounge or any part of GT5 online. The rest of my PS3 is online but my GT5 says it couldn't establish a connection. WTF??

EDIT: Must have been a hiccup, I'm in now. I see Brosif is on now too.

I wonder if another update is downloading tonight....

 

[Torzilla]

Im still at 115 hp, I triple checked all the upgrades and everything is how it should be. The only thing I can come up with is that my engine isn't broken in. But 115 still seems a bit low. If anyone has any suggestions Im open to try anything. And I had alot of fun at the practice tonight, I cant wait for more.

There must be something your overlooking. I literally bought and set up my Capp 5 minutes before I joined the room tonight, and I entered with 133 HP. Set your Capp to "share" and let someone else look at the settings.

Good call Mudd. There's definetly a part missing, let us take a look at it and we'll figure out what's missing. 👍

 

[Torzilla]

ok my capp is set to share, feel free to take a look at it and let me know of suggestions. If it its something very obvious feel free to make fun of me, I probably deserve it. My psn is torzilla
