Grr stupid connectivity issues sorry about the double post

lol, triple post 👍
I would like to drive some mid-race cars too , like the gt300's , but as brandon posted a while ago , most the time its a racing - tire nonsens , although all of them are great to drive on sport tires 👍

 

[daddyo845]

Beyond gt500 and gt3 I would prefer to stick to racing hard tires

I'm unlikely to ever organize something that needs any kind of racing tires, so whatever it is would likely be on SS. I honestly can't drive on racing tires, they don't behave how I expect and I feel like I'm playing a totally different game (usually resulting in a tank-slapper). I could adapt to them, but they feel so numb and schizophrenic that I really don't want to as I don't find them enjoyable. The GT3/GT500/GT300 is the power range I'd look at, probably not anything more powerful than those (unless I setup a vintage Le Mans race ). In all my racing on GT5 and GT6 I've never raced a GT300 or GT500 car and I'd like to remedy that at some point. But if I stick to the Festival theme most of the cars would likely be road cars with occasional race cars mixed in.

I guess people who know me know my thought about this. Honda Festival!

Step by step from Civic to NSX and finally to GT cars

There are some sweet vintage cars as well

(same goes to most Japanese dealers of course like Brandon already said)

But like Brandon also said, there will just be too many cars to go through and also if we were to do this would we do the really slow cars like the fit?

Aslong as there's a Mk1 CRX in there somewhere .

Whatever gets organized, I'm definitely in. 👍

Absolutely agree. I love that range of racing cars, but basically every touring car series on GTP uses racing tyres so I have yet to find one that 'fits' for me. I prefer them on SMs for the most part.

As you may recall, I'm working on setting up a multiclass touring car shuffle-type series, which will be set up rather like @Cu3e 's Japan club -- each class being about 5-7 cars in size, with a turtle and a rabbit, and the others closely matched (all on stock setups). Still a lot of testing to do, plus I'm moving in two weeks and probably won't be able to race again until July, so it will be some time yet before I can launch it. Maybe some of you will be interested in such a thing.

But like Brandon also said, there will just be too many cars to go through and also if we were to do this would we do the really slow cars like the fit?

With mufacturers like that I wouldn't attempt to do all the cars because there are so many and a lot of duplicates. I'd pick the best and most relevant cars and probably do no more than 8-10 so we could move on to the next brand and not get bored.

Another issue with some of those brands, Honda especially, is that a lot of their offerings are FF. For the most part, I don't care for racing FF's. I might make the occasional exception for cars like the Integra or CRX but they'd be few and far between. One option would be a Japanese Festival that features the Integra, S2K, NSX, Miata, RX-7, RX-8, MR2, 350z, Skyline, GT-R, WRX, Legacy, 22B, Evo, and so on. Much more flexibility that way and keeps things from getting stale. That would keep us busy for quite a while too (and I'd only need one thread and one set of artwork for all of it).

This would create a nice pattern and set us up for future Festivals, like the German Festival, British Festival, Murican Festival, etc. 👍

 

[daddyo845]

I say we to with Brandon's last idea. And just switch to between nationalities every few weeks or so. There would be a lot of variety and I've noticed that when you drive cars from nations you can just tell you're driving an Italian car or a german, Japanese, American etc. they seem to all have a distinct feel to me you know.

 

[BrandonW77]

I've got a room open for Mustache practice if anyone's interested.

EDIT: Closed

 

[daddyo845]

Ill be there in a few minutes

 

[Drifted]

Hey Brandon, sent out a FR not long ago wondering if you got it.

 

[Drifted]

Unfortunately, I won't be joining you guys tmrw. Didn't manage to make enough money to buy a GTO. Will defiantly have the cash to get a 458 for next weeks race. See you then!

For sure, especially the Murican cars... I drove a lot with Mustang and GT40 offline in GT4. It takes a lot of tuning for me to really enjoy them, though.

 

[daddyo845]

Yes especially Murica

 

[hobbsy]

Liking all the ideas mentioned here 👍, and Like Brandon has mentioned I'm not really a fan of Racing tyres, also like the idea of the GT class events. I ran some GT500 events back in GT5, and was good fun, so would recommend it.

Looking forward to finishing the Ferrari Festival on a high and continuing the success with a new range of cars.

 

[daddyo845]

June 2014 huh "sure"

 

[hobbsy]

Its done... The RUF Cup

 

[daddyo845]

It seems half finished to me

At least now you can get mc chase to stop making fun of you

It took you this many months to copy/paste my OP into another thread?? I kid, I kid.

One question, it says there will be a qualifier before the first race but then it looks like you'll be using the open qualifying session like we use here and it says the room will be set to practice/endurance? Those things don't jive.

Hmmm I think my interpretation is there will be qualification for the first race, but it's using the open system.

And yes copy paste rules! Lol, plus you put it so well, why would I need to change it

 

[BrandonW77]

Might want to change the wording since "qualifier" might be interpreted as using the automated qualifier session (since that's the terminology the game uses). 👍

Already done mate, thanks

 

[daddyo845]

But you do realize we can turn off the ghost lines in qualifier mode now right?

 

[hobbsy]

Yes, but that's not the issue (with me at least) with this mode. Main problem is once you start no one else can join if they arrive late... secondary to this, there were some strange results after quali finished!

Maybe it's worth looking at again, but I think the open style quali has served us well so far... and to me it actually feels like real qualifying too.

 

[daddyo845]

Good point

^ This is why I don't use the qualifier. If someone shows up late or gets DC'd during qualifying they can't join. Plus, it's one more chance for the black screen of death.

I tried to turn the ghost lines off Sunday but couldn't figure out how. It wasn't in the quick menu from the pause screen.

seems to be the same button as in the seasonals , default is d-pad up iirc 👍

i'm thinking the same as you all about the qualifying , the only benefit is that you can see the gaps between the drivers and that you can hoon around reving and honking in the starting grid

 

[MC-Chase]

We used the open qually every week after the first in the Rocket series and it seemed almost universally preferable. I see no reason to go back to PD's flawed timed session.
