Congratulations for the winners but specially for the organizers, I was sorry for leaving in the middle of the championship but you guys did a fantastic job, will be looking forward to race some of you soon, in the next season or some competition elsewhere. I will really miss driving this car, unfortunately after this one I didn't drive it anymore (sadly), it was a damn good car and I had pleasure setting it up for each track.
For now I'll stay in GT6 and see how I'll do in GT Academy, maybe eventually I'll try Project Cars but that also means I'll have to get a new wheel to play it as I'm not a fan of using pad (after enjoying so much the wheel it's impossible to go back).
See you guys out there and I might be available for a future series if you guys decide to stay on GT6
Karsten, i am with you on pcars, and will test with you whenever you post you are running one.I'm the usual useless averager lol
Logic, i understand your committement to gt6 (actually it's to the good drivers and friends we made here) but i'll start working on pcars, else we'll never ever be ready to switch until gt6 servers will shut down, i do not think i can manage both games to be honest, so i sadly guess this will be a goodbye, or better i hope, a see you soon. Hope i'll have something ready and good when you'll be ready to move on and embrace the future.
Certainly my ps3 won't live for another serie of endurance racing for it is already vulcan hot after one hour and starts to be slow loading
Also it would require extensive training to be half decent with hsv and i really have no more the strenght to endure other extensive beatings up
This season killed all the ideas i had about me, my skills, speed, racing and the little pride i had. It might be the best to take myself off the competition for some time, before i get more bitter and deluded than i am now
i'm not yet past the two podium chances i had and i still feel were robbed from me Little man i am still looking backward lol So i guess starting to plan for something new on pcars might be good for me, before i'll be back to suck as usual on the next serie
Hi Pedro,
I really hope that you will make it to the Final; I’ve noticed that you are already pretty well ranked on the leaderboard. But the competition will be very hard in the final round. All the best and nothing is impossible.👍 You have all our support!!
NO REPORTED INCIDENTS
Just a few notes on the race ...................re conversations afterwards.
1 Fili and Logic, i have watched the replay, and just cant find where i came back on track alongside you ?
2 TnT and Logic , i have watched the replay from many angles and it does appear in my replay that your car jerks slightly, into me, in fact nearly knocking me off the track. At that point you were certainly behind me, so in my book, i have the right to take the racing line through the fast turns leading up to the bus stop, however for sure if you were alongside me i would never move over onto you, in fact on my replay you are behind then jerk into me, so it may have been a glitchy lag.
Either way mate, i am sorry it wrecked your race and concentration, it certainly was not intentional.
3 Vic and Tnt, Vic i have to say from the replay i watched from Tnt and your car, as far as i can see he did see you coming and moved over to the right of the track, in fact tnt never really made an effort to get going again, i guess he was waiting for you to go past.
You were approaching at high speed and put a wheel on the grass and spun.
Ideally i would say that you could see ahead tnt had an issue, so it probably prudent to back off a bit, however i know thats not something we find easy to do when we are racing, but if it were a stewards incident, i would say that it was a racing incident, and there was certainly no intent there.
Been quite a bit Online testing Pcars, sadly no one was around or wishing to join up so i run my test alone.
Here are my results of the test runs of GT3 cars i run at Imola. Imola is a complex circuit with various turns from hairpin to tight chicanes, rolling fast turns and fast straight. Some uphill/downhill sections too, so i guess it makes for a pretty good test.
I'll split the cars in tiers; these tiers are with car "as is" so after tuned some might be a surprise.
I'll detail the various cars speed and behaviour with some times around to give an idea. Cars seems pretty well assorted to be honest for there's not great differences in lap times
Medium Tier 1.47 cars
These 2 are supposed to be super kind to tires so they might be pretty good too! The twistier tracks are their dream.
- BMW M3 GT This car drives like a dream, stops in a blast but misses some grunt on the fast sections
- Ginetta G55 GT3 Better than the M3 but not by a long shot, as the M3 is DRIVEABLE, nice, smooth and easy
Fast Car Tier mid 46s cars
- BMW Z4 A great all around, tends to be a little understeery as it is, has great potential
- Audi R8 LMS Ultra Takes some time to get used to, but when you do it's very nimble around chicanes and it controls slides like a dream
- Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3 It's surprisingly good in twisty sections, has good grunt on engine and is overall very predictable albeit feel heavy on brakes
- RUF RGT-8 GT3 Now this car is one of those i can't figure out well how to drive; must be me for at times it slides away from corners like an arrow others feels sleepy getting in turns. I think it can be tuned to be great or even superb in the righ hands.
UBER CAR Tier low 46 or high 45
- Mercedes SLS GT3 This feels like a boat, seems to require turning in ages early for it seems to roll. Also you get the feeling you need to brake ages before each turns. Reason is that it is FAST; massive speed, power and torque. You get surprised by the times you can get out of it! Might be probably hard on tires.
- Mclaren 12c GT3 The car you do not want to let a fast driver inside Fast, easy to control and handle, point at apexes like a dream, feels light while braking, it's forgiving....
At the end of the test the slowest car was at 47.1 and the fastest at 45.9... 1.2 seconds Only between the 8 cars makes up for a really surprisingly close test results.
If anyone will want to help out in test maybe on other tracks, i would be grateful.
I also tested some Online MP options but being alone it didn't work out well lol
pcars
I will be with you on Thursday night.
Can you tell me when and how and the program.
For me I think we should run a one make series. I think we just don't see it as fair when some cars are clearly better than others.

I'm up for that! I'm free Thursday night after 6pm.
Ok thats fine with me.Tomorrow i'll Be again testing PCars from around 17:30GMT to 18:45 and after dinner from 20:30 on...
No more one make serie where one is stuck on car that he doesn't like mate. I already had this season killing me, and i spoke my mind about the car not being ok for me at 500hps lol Suffered a lot due to that so i do not want other stuck with cars they do not like or enjoy driving.
Also no clue as "some cars are clearly better" as you state when there's only 1 car that looks too good and it can be just taken off if it proves so. All the others from Ginetta to SLS seems will be well balanced when taking into account tires deterioration. In any case those are just test made by myself, and i do not click well with all cars.
In worst case we may just go with Z4, Aston, Audi and RUF for example.
Also this is just the GT3 test, might test GT4 too since they might provide even closer racing... In any case we need people, and mileage to see where issues lie.
Just 1 second off from fastest to slowest on a power track speaks highly of how close are the cars to each other and will be in a whole season.
I've been taking a look about the Online options and seem to have found the proper settings, just need to test them out with some people in
