[FGTA][ENDURANCE][GT300]Season2-FINALE: OZWHEELS IS THE CHAMPION!Open

[ozwheels]

20 hp for 1st place and 10 hp for 2nd - 4th place

Do they add up race after race or if you win then win again your still at -20?

 

[azidahaka]

They do. There's rules posted on first post lol

They stack as long as you keep being top 4. When you drop out of top4 you get back 10hps.

 

[priesty_lfc]

Forgot to mention, last night I finally got my plat trophy for GT6, I only needed the 7000+ miles trophy so running in this series is a great way to get up your mileage.

What's the deal with the RX7? I watched Oz do a 1:37.2 in it yesterday? It is way to fast compared to the other chassis. A big reason why everyone wants to drive it. The RX7 is over regged. I'm not the only one in the series that knows it's to fast.

There is no way to spec all the cars to be perfectly even with the tuning prohibited format .

The regs are the same as they were in season 1 I believe .

If you guy have any suggestion let Karsten know , I am interested to hear .

As Ekke proved last night the Lexus is competitive and I know its a good car because I drove it last season.

I wouldnt judge it all from 1 race at Fuji because Fuji has a really long straight and the rx7 is better top speed wise than the brz and lexus .

Very fast in a straight line yes but over regged debatable.

It won season 1 when in the hands of a v fast driver and Skeg pushed GP v close in it using the Lexus, from what I remember he only missed out due to having a DC and wrong strategy at Nurb 24hr.

Overall I thought S1 was pretty closely balanced.

 

[azidahaka]

Yes cars seem unbalanced due to driver's in most cases.. if ekke wasn't online yersterday all lexuses would have been complaining about how slow the car is?

training a lot and driving skills really mean a lot in this serie.

 

[ozwheels]

The car balance has nothing to do with who's driving them in my opinion. Everyone is forgetting the RX-7 has the best handling as well. You can't give a car 4 mph advantage on straights and the best handling. I plan on doing some testing at Silverstone to see if maybe the rx-7 and Lexus aren't as fast there.

 

[azidahaka]

btw isn't yours the fastest lap by a mile?

in any case the success penalties are there to balance out car's overperforming on a certain track.

If rx7 will really prove that much better it might get a permanent -10hps, but last season showed all very close, so keep patient and see in the next races

 

[azidahaka]

captured video.

i'll make something as usual, beside a couple shunts there was some really wonderful driving and fights!

Points will be up after i hear from skeng.

If your talking to me the BRZ is not the fastest. The RX-7 is over a second faster on Fuji. Not sure about the Lexus but I'll get to it.

nothing to do with drivers....

 

[priesty_lfc]

nothing to do with drivers....

So why wasn't I second then?

 

[rosckolove]

The problem we are talking about has nothing to do with driver. You weren't in second because of your pace. Driving is the issue in YOUR case. Cheers bud

 

[priesty_lfc]

Possibly

So did you follow S1? Have you checked out any of the vids?

GP is v fast and Ekke had good battles with him in the BRZ so.

And what's the issue with the Lexus? Do people think that's to fast aswell?

That was Fuji's first time on the calander so it until we run races we ran in S1 to compare lap times as far as I'm concerned the cars are fine.

 

[rosckolove]

Of course you do.

 

[azidahaka]

talking about it, roscko, you weren't on the grid, so wait to race before being so negative

 

[priesty_lfc]

Of course you do.

I see what you did there, nice

 

[rosckolove]

Sorry. I just don't have much patience for comments that are meant to be a waste of time. Also, I was on the grid. I finished 4th on my screen. 5th if you include harsk.

 

[ozwheels]

Roscko is RooB, I pushed him for 15 laps. I'm testing at Fuji and Silverstone and ill post my data either tonight or tomorrow and what I think.

 

[rosckolove]

I was being pushed... Still lost time.

 

[BAZZER]

It is driver skill, oz was faster than everyone in the other series I done, no matter what the car as his driving skill is better. I done a few test at the end of last season and equalled a few of last season's fastest laps with 3 different cars. Skeng would of won the season if he didn't dc or mess up at nurb, with the lexus.

So to say driver doesn't matter is the most ridiculous comment I've ever seen.

 

[ozwheels]

I'm not gonna argue this much I'm just going to post my data which is surprising me in some aspects. If you raced with me before you've probably heard me say this before but there's a difference between a drivers potential and a cars potential. Don't take it the wrong way but most people can't jump in every car and push that car to its limit, they simply run out of talent. This is true in real life also. I'm confident there's very little time out there beyond my lap times in the data I will post but if anyone think the laps are skewed and they can go faster then please do so and I will add it to my data.

I would tend to agree with you. But.. Well, I don't. And this is why. Skeng wasn't catching 2 BRZ's that were bump drafting each other because of his driving vs my driving. I finished a Fuji TT in 20th place with a DS3. I have pretty good knowledge of how to go fast at Fuji. I have since got a tad faster with my wheel. It's not a lack of know how on my part. He was catching us because his car is faster, and has better tire wear as a result from the cars weight balance, so it slows down less than our cars do through out the stint. I'm not taking anything away from skeng. He's a great driver, that's why he wins races. But he's not an Aderrrm or Tony or Holland, who just have a magic ability that is far beyond the rest of us. We were bump drafting every chance we got, and he was still catching us. I don't want to race for an hour knowing I'm only gonna win if skeng crashes a whole bunch. None of us do.. Why don't you hop in both cars and see what lap times you produce. If you say they are equal, well.....

I didn't even want to get into it like that, but it's not "the driver"

 

[azidahaka]

fuji is fuji. silverstone will be different; BRZ did well there, and same did lexuses.

Let's see after 4 races what are the standings and then we'll start considering changes. Fuji was not in the S1 list and i probably had a bad call making it the first race of the season, but i preferred a track that had no weather nor light changes to start soft with newcomers.

bite me for that.

@rosckolove how many different ids you have? >_>

 

[ozwheels]

If we just sit here and argue about the regs nothing will change. Like I said I'm testing all the cars. If anyone else has an opinion on regs then they should also test them.

Karsten I thought Silverstone would even out the cars at first also, but it seems to be the other way around so far.

HARSK WILL BE BANNED IF HE DOESN'T FIX HIS CONNECTION.

@SniperRed3 @pyrates @ADR_PILOFINO
you guys missed the race, missing other race without a word will free your spots

we run a well balanced season 1, had basically no complains, give it a few races. If skeng will win with a -20hps i'll take measures, or maybe not for with -40hps he won't get anywhere, lol.

Jokes aside it took ages and lot of efforts to balance the serie,do not judge anything by one only race... thing evened up by 4th or 5th race in season 1, here all should be faster.

Why do I have a face for my o and I didn't have the fastest lap. Roscko did on lap 2 I believe.

In a few races the RX-7 will have a 30 point lead. Success penalties regulate drivers NOT cars. Please tell me how I'm supposed to make up over a second a lap on the RX-7? If this many people complain about the rx-7 I think there's a problem.
