FIA GT World Championship [S2] | Aboe and SK8RBOI Are Champions!Finished 

I'm in, sign up form completed.
Just some questions: I checked GT4 since I assume I won't make it to GT3 :), can I have a hint of what cars are going to be available and their tune?
If I understood well, the grading will start once every 32 spot are filed?

Welcome to the series!

We are looking at the following cars:

- Ferrari 458 Italia
- McLaren MP4-12C
- Jaguar XKR-S
- Lamborghini Gallardo
- Aston Martin Vantage V12
- Corvette C7
- Camaro SS
- Maserati GranTurismo S

Now that season 1 is wrapped up we can get to intense speccing. With the 1.09 update we will need to do some re-testing as the physics have changed to make sure what we've done so far is still valid.

As for the tunes we are working with @Ridox2JZGTE on the GT4 cars so you might want to have a look in his garage. The tunes might be changed a bit for the series and probably need some review after 1.09.

There is no start time for the Grading, you can do it when you want. However, we still have to decide on a deadline.
Glad to see a french in the field :cheers:

For adapting to 1.09 camber fix, usually lowering ARB front and rear by 1 and increase camber to around 1.0 - 2.0 at rear and 2.0-3.0 at front will be good starting point. Some of the cars like Mclaren MP4-12C has several additional setup with camber, these should work well on 1.09, if any adjustment necessary, starting from ARB and toe ( closer to 0.00 - neutral )

Add camber by 0.2 increment front and back, find a balance that suits you, more at the rear will tend to increase grip and give slight understeer, more at the front will increase front grip. There's a drop off point for camber, it varies from car to car, tires used and suspension tune + rigidity installed. Cars with body rigidity will have better stability and can make use of higher camber. Please check my latest RJN Team PlayStation GT Academy 370Z GT4 replica for example, it was built with camber and tested on 1.09.

Notes :
My 1st built among many of GT4 cars that are on the works. I was fascinated by this car as I read on GT Academy winners racing it at Endurance races in Europe. A few years back it was 350Z, but from a couple of years ago, 370Z is used.

I based this replica on the latest 370Z GT4, built by RJN Motorsport with extensive parts from NISMO bin :D The engine is unique ( HR version fly by wire throttle ), natural aspiration + tuned exhaust and NISMO expertise + parts, stroked to 3.8 litres, produces close to 440HP. For BOP ( balance of performance ), the engine is tuned to produce 410PS instead or 404HP.

The body has been lightened and seam welded with weld in cage, the car tips the scale at 1300kg.

Suspension comes from custom coilover with Swift springs and 2 way Bilstein damper. I set the springs at both 16kg/mm to maintain solid composure during hard cornering. The balance is very well maintained from entry to exit. Camber has been set quite aggressively to provide much needed traction on medium to high speed corners. Damper and ARB are tuned for less roll, but still gives some room for the tire to flex and grip with traction by minimizing excess weight transfer under acceleration.

The car uses QUAIFE 6 speed sequential gearbox, with specific ratio setup for 370Z, while still using stock final. This gives the 370Z good spread with plenty of pull and respectable top speed at just over 260km/h. Lower the final if wanted more top speed. The real car has twin plate Alcon Clutch, and twin plate clutch is installed in this build.

LSD comes from NISMO GT Plate LSD, I setup a 2 way with high preload to maximize traction. Brakes IRL comes from Alcon with 6 pot front and 4 pot rear and large diameter discs.


The rear wing is custom, there are variances in real life, some uses low profile rear wing that looks close to NISMO wing, some uses bigger carbon fiber GT style wing. I used custom wing in this replica.

To replicate the lap time done during European GT4 Cup, I used Sports Soft tire. The real life 370Z GT4 laps Silverstone GP at 2:15.069 back in 2011 GT European Cup in the hands of Jordan Tresson / Alex Buncombe, GTA winner. On SS tires, the replica easily can break into 2:14s, similar to the quickest GT4 cars in real life ( M3 GT4 )

I also tested the car at Brands Hatch GP and Bathurst back in 1.08. Thanks to the help of @danbojte with further testing the car on 1.09 and wheel, the tune proved to be solid and posted as is. The replica should also work on Racing Hard tire.


ENJOY :cheers:

wait grading we can do at any time?!!!
Actually yeah. Just ask on the forum when you want to be graded and a steward will answer, trying to find a date. Since there are (only) 32 drivers at the maximum, it's not useful to run specific rooms at a specific day. If you ask for a steward to be graded, you're expected to be ready, I mean that the steward won't wait for you to practice in the room.

Stewards can also open casual practice / grading rooms at any time of the day and you can join if you want to practice or to be graded. Just stay tuned on the forum and don't forget to add Stewards as friend 👍
In these rooms, practice is allowed as long as one of a driver wants to be graded. At this time, room is frozen for the grading session.

Ask for doing your Grading session wisely, cause you have one shot only. Be sure to be ready when you ask to be graded.

Ok great, sorry for asking GT4 cars list, didn't see the link on 1st page
I assume we can choose any body/wheels paint combo we fancy?

Yea, most of graphics I create are links :P

_____________________________________________________________________________

To anyone who wants to link a friend to this series, I've created a short bitly link: http://bit.ly/fiagtwc
This is especially useful when you're in a GT6 online lobby, cause we all know that original gtplanet URLs are a way too hard to learn by heart. bitly fixes this problem 👍
 
If anybody wants to be graded, I can say the times of when I will be online. when I am online, send me a request stating that you wish to be graded. I will begin grading next week

P.S. If I am online but I do not state it on this thread then do not contact me via PSN as I may be in a online race.

Tonight I'm leaving for Mexico and won't be back until Saturday or Sunday :(. Will you be able to grade the week after as well?
 
OP UPDATED!

Update details:

- Rules & Regulations have ben merged and inserted in the bar under the "Reults & Standing" picture (html version)
- Incident penalty outline in that bar is now in html.
- Calendar in that bar is now in html.
- FAQ added
- bitly link added
- minor BBCode bugs fixes
 
For what I have seen in the above links and other sources, real GT4 cars have following specs: weight 1350-1400 kgs, power 400-425 BHP.
Real Camaro GT4 have 1400 kgs/425 BHP. The one I saw is a copy of GT3 car: 530 HP/1310 kgs
For my opinion, with the real specs it could be easier to race for beginners (because they are cheaper to buy and tune) and maybe it could get this Championship more popular.
 
Our original goal with the GT4 class was to have them be replica GT3's, we called them GT4 to avoid confusion and because they were slightly slower than the actual GT3's

it was not my intention to change any goal, just give my contribution
 
@all we are looking for race photographers, and race recorders as well. We are planning to set up a series YouTube channel were the recorders can upload races
