I think there should be something for the MK IV ford like a power handicap or a weight handicap because it just seems too far ahead

 

[KingSakery]

I´m Interested too.
Due to no choice I´ll have to test GT40 and 2D

Furthermore: Is Wednesday fix ?? Thursday would be my suggestion. If Wednesday stays I can´t compete (but I definately would miss out a superb Series).

My gt40 is at 599pp atm..

 

[berty1979]

Maybe handicap the mk4, we will see how it goes when we lower the pp. It would help if I owned all the cars so I could compare hp/weight/aero etc.
Sakery man, what time could you do on a wednesday, late? early?

Oh and Sm, put the aero on and change the oil

 

[DrifterJoe]

As I said before- a 0 mile GT40 with an oil change, maximum aero, and the high rpm turbo, will reach 599pp. 600pp is reached once you start to wear the engine in.

I found a good tune for the Ferrari which is a compromise between ease of handling and overall laptimes.

 

[berty1979]

I got a list of tunes for the classics somewhere on the FGTC thread.
580 pp is next to try mate.

 

[cgr-10]

I have a feeling the Chappy will suffer at 580pp. I'll have to ballast it up to around the level of the other cars which is bad news as I only have 420bhp anyway. Running with zero aero isn't really an option 👎

 

[berty1979]

We will work something out once I have found out the bhp/weight of each car.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Do you want the maximum bhp of the cars (with all parts on, give or take a few bhp for wearing in the engine)? Minimum weight too, I'm guessing. Or do you want them at the relevant amount of PP?

I can't do all of them, since I'm missing some (the Chapparel and the MK IV).

Just look on my MyGT mate.

Just look on my MyGT mate.

👍 good site!

 

[cgr-10]

It's brilliant, I use it all the time! Brilliant for checking out car stats when you can't get to your PS3

 

[DrifterJoe]

Just look on my MyGT mate.

http://www.mygranturismo.net/carlist.php

Sadly it lists the stock specs of the cars, which may not be too useful in this situation. e.g it says 502 BHP for the GT40, when mine has 550 BHP with the turbo added.

I need to update my garage , 200 cars short lol .

 

[berty1979]

Ill check it out mate, cheers for that. If anyone can think of a workable comprimise to reel in the mark 4 a little let me know!

You can see the fully tuned stats, it's user contributed so people submit their fully upgraded car specs.

 

[berty1979]

Awesome resource that is, ill be using it to try and work something out.

What car to run me over with?

 

[berty1979]

I wouldnt want to hurt you Ellis my old pal.

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Tank car..

 

[DrifterJoe]

Tank car..

Don't forget to add maximum ballast.

 

[berty1979]

We raced the tank cars at kart space, next time 200kg of ballast is going on for sure

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Haha
1400th post!! Yay

 

[DrifterJoe]

580pp is probably the way to go, as a 0 mile ford GT with minimum aero + turbo and oil change is 581pp. If you take the turbo off and add on max aero, it is at 586pp.

 

[berty1979]

Thats what we can try next then as I think the mark 4 is a bit too fast and the chappy needs a little help.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Time for me to see what the P4 is like on a wet track. Guess I'll try the Nordschleife and la Sarthe.

 

[ETID]

I have found a nice tune for the P4 from a link Pigboy gave me. I'll send it to you Joe if you like?

The P4 is nice and nippy due to the RPM which I like. Not bad in the turns either. Just got to learn to control it.

 

[Schwartz]

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!!!!

You can remove a turbo you know...

 

[KingSakery]

@Rhyf: Well wednesday I could join at 21:30 your Time maybe 21:00. Quite late due to B-Ball.

 

[berty1979]

I can only do wed or fri Sak and 2115 would be fine for me, we can see what the others think after testing anyway. We should be able to come to some sort of arrangement,
