I think using these cars instead of the FGT's presents a new opportunity.

(waits in anticipation)

Night races!

And don't ignore my suggestion for Ye Olde Race car championship Bret

Ye Olde Racing automobile championship.

Send a message my way on PSN when you're on.

 

[cgr-10]

I would love some night racing, it's where this game shines I'll join you guys for some testing aswell.

 

[berty1979]

Ill send the messages when on 👍

 

[Ellis]

Yey I made a contributive mature comment.

Hoosa for me

 

[cgr-10]

One more thing....can I change teams again?

I'm about one and a half seconds a lap slower in the GT40 at Fuji after some testing, it takes someone of considerable skill to get good times in that car. Since I don't have 'Considerable Skill' give me my 2D back please!

 

[DrifterJoe]

There's a first time for everything though.

Today's random fact is that "Ye" is pronounced "the".

EDIT: what settings will we use for slipstream and grip reduction? I'm guessing low and real.

 

[berty1979]

Tom- Your not a fussy person by any chance are you mate? Are you a vegan too? Its done 👍

Joe- And olde is pronounced old too, what programme did I see that on? Cant remember.

 

[DrifterJoe]

That'll be QI.

The example they used in a question was "Ye Olde Pie Shoppe" which was pronounced "the old pie shop".

 

[cgr-10]

Not particularly fussy, just not an amazingly fast driver I keep telling people I'll be faster when I get my DFGT at Christmas when that's not even necessarily true

EDIT: Shall we pile into your lounge mate if you're on your way?

 

[DrifterJoe]

You'll be slower at first, since you'll have to get used to it.

 

[ETID]

I'm defo up for some testing. Me, sandman and ellis are waiting for you now brett. Anyone else join us if your on now.

 

[berty1979]

Yes it was QI, good call

Dont worry I am sure Ellis will show you his interesting racing lines and give you a fuel strat that will fall 1 lap short

My lounge 15 mins guys

 

[Ellis]

Me and sandman have come to an idea that We can have different coloured JAAAGGGSS. Mine being white. Due to my roots being in yorkshire (white roses) and sandman being undecided and you can stay green being team leader

 

[berty1979]

Whatever you like chaps. Ill stick with good old BRG or maybe red for Wales.

 

[Ellis]

I thought red for you

 

[berty1979]

Need to get a chapparel so I can test it. Can you paint them? I am thinking no.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Nope, you can only paint the Jag.

Still having my usual connection issues.

 

[cgr-10]

The Chaparral was faster than the Jag in the corners, I just couldn't get past Ellis With a bit of gear work it isn't too shabby off the line either, started on pole at Cote' and only dropped to 2nd place before the first corner 👍

 

[DrifterJoe]

Once you find it's limits, the Ferrari is quick too. 👍

I'd still rather be using the Jag though, it suits how I drive.

 

[Ellis]

The Chaparral was faster than the Jag in the corners, I just couldn't get past Ellis

Your not the only one that has had this problem *cough* Bret *cough*

 

[berty1979]

Tom- I noticed it was much faster at cote, I am hoping your connection gets better too.

Joe- I may want to swap but we have a lot of testing to do.

Ellis- It was driving me mad thanks for picking up on that.

 

[Furinkazen]

Having already run a series for these cars, I'll reserve take a Ford Mk IV .

 

[berty1979]

Hey furi, due to only taking the top 2 results of the three team members we are not using a reserve system. Could I interest you in a 2D or GT40 though?

 

[cgr-10]

Yeah Furi, join team 'Snail Start' in the Chappy's

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Good testing today, spurgey will be tough to beat in his mkiv

 

[DrifterJoe]

I'll be trying to find a good setup for the Ferrari tonight. Right now the only changes I've made to the stock setup are using full aero and lowering the ride height.

It's been a while since I've done setup testing for a car, and I can't actually remember where I usually do it. Guess I'll try the Nordschleife.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'll see, for now i'll keep watching this thread.

 

[berty1979]

Yea, spurgey turned out to be amazing. PP is still open though we may bring it down after more testing.

 

[Rich S]

FYI, the GT40 CANNOT get to 600 PP. You need to lower the PP limit to 580 PP. I have a turbo on mine btw, and not planning on spending 20,000,000 on another one!!!!

 

[berty1979]

It does reach 600pp for sure mate but I am going to lower to 580 for the next test so to quote corporal Jones "dont panic"!
