Today (12/28/10) at 8:00p.m.(us central time) I will host a drift battle limited to 8 people.
---Let me know if you want to participate through PSN.
---I will start the lobby at 7:30pm and post up the room number.

1st place will receive a 2004 HKS Genki Hyper Silvia
2nd place will receive a 2003 CuscoSubaru Impreza (100% rwd ...makes a nice drift car)

Contestants will drive one at a time for 2 laps on tsukuba.
--angle, line, and style is what I will be looking for.
-- using outside additional turn after turn 5 will be mandatory.

No AWD / FWD
HP limited to 650

This will mainly be for fun, but at least you can try and win a car.

I'm in Sounds like fun And yes I know it will be 2am my time, but my b-spec enduro will finish around then anyway

One question, are you going to limit to any specific type of tyre? My personal preference is everyone on 'comfort hard', so it's purely about skill, but I'm in either way

 

[secretcitizen]

I don't know if I will limit the tire/tyre because some people just have a personal preference.
If I do decide, it will probably be limited to sport hard or less.

The other option to make it fair is to not take lap time into account. It doesn't get taken into account in real life, so would be more 'realistic' that way. Speed is a perception of whether the driver looks 'on it' rather than a defined value. The only time we use hard and fast numbers is entry speeds. We have a destinct start line where people start from standing, we then measure their speed at initiation. The higher the entry speed,the higer your points. This is mainly because long awesome looking entries are MUCH slower time wise than short ones, and so it gives guys who enter late and slow an advantage, which is kind of back to front

Like I said, either way, I'm in

 

[secretcitizen]

Understood.... sounds like I might count out lap times.
Thanks for the tips. I will have it all worked out by tonight.

 

[DaveM-sport]

I'm in, It'll be 2 here too and I'm going climbing in the morning but fook it


I think its better to give people the option of tyres as some with a Volvo, AE86, 2002 will be using hards or possibly mediums and doing well and having just enough grip for decent entries while people running 500-600bhp will feel like they are on an ice-rinc and entries will suffer especially on the last corner.



I'll bring the M3 along so I can grip-race twin-turbo out of the corners again

 

[secretcitizen]

Hard medium what, comfort, sports?

 

[TwinturboCH]

Hard medium what, comfort, sports?

He was on about comforts

 

[secretcitizen]

All in all we will see how it plays out tonight.
I might be lenient with certain things depending on attitude and a majority rule.ho

650hp is the Max limit also,not a requirement. So choose your power to compound tire that suits you best.
In other words if I set it to all comfort hard adjust power or change cars.

 

[DGambino1]

add me to this one Secret... 8 player battle should not take to long to finish...

[DGambino1]

[secretcitizen]

Thanks for showing up man.
I had fun.

1st place : TG-popo
2nd place : DaveM-sport

Dave add badnewskelli to your friends so I can send you your car. Thanks broseph!

 

[DaveM-sport]

My bloody connection was wreaking my head. turning off the mic made a big difference though.


The M3 had comforts set but its set up for mediums or softs so had to change them every time I joined.

Of course, I forgot to change them when I actually did my run then hence me spinning off all over the place

Foooking hate comfort hards!!!




Was great fun though and nice to watch each person out on the track. That LFA and 370z looked very cool and good drivers too!



As i said if we are doing any competitions, I'm more than happy to donate some cars, making a list of what I have in the market-place at the moment.

 

[secretcitizen]

Not a problem man. Enjoyed watching the lag lol
Just add my accounts when you can so I can send you the Subaru.

Was it very bad even watching it in from spectator too?

I'm going to look into sorting out a better connection or do something with my router I think as its been very bad lately.


What subaru is it? If I have it already just keep it and save your slot to trade/gift for the day 👍

 

[secretcitizen]

03 cusco Subaru impreza 100% rwd
nah man I have a open slot, I want you to have it.

 

[DaveM-sport]

Cool, I don't have the '03 one

 

[TG-Popo]

Thank you to the hosts of this event, thagreenteam and baddestfurball. I had a blast! I'd write a novel about how cool and well run it was but I got to take that Silvia for a spin!

 

[secretcitizen]

Thanks again for showing up guys.
Now I really see I would have gotten spanked if I would've tried lol.
I just started drifting about a week ago and I got so used to the automatic transmission that when I tried the MT today I ate it, BAD!
