Added! 👍

Btw Dave I heard you and TnT came into my my room a couple of days ago. I had left my Ps3 on and the automatic power off kicked in so that's why I all of a sudden disappeared. I would never be so rude to just disconnect like that, I consider you guys close racing buddies of mine that I will always give my respect too! 👍

Also I heard you guys are running 1'30's which is about what I'm hitting without the draft. I feel with tuning I'll hit 1'29's by myself, but I might switch back to the Citroen pending more testing. But then again I might not because you guys are running the #91 Viper and I would like to team up with you guys! If this was a straight 300km race then I would go Citroen all the way for certain reasons.

I would never think you're rude Joe. 👍 As far as team mates go, sure.
I would hope to see 1:29's. TDZ had a 1:30.0 something, can't exactly remember lol.
I will be on later to practice. Wife was home sick again yesterday. Couldn't get any in.

Are you guys talking about medium tires? I was able to drop to high 1:30s on mediums, and do low 1:29s high 1:28s on softs with most of these cars.

Yea I figured.

 

[dhrittme]

Yea I figured.

What course?

 

[TDZdave]

I feel that the dodge won't do a 1.28 without a good suck of draft from turn 12 through to turn 1,

My best in testing was a 1.29.4XX and that was one hell of a lap from me in that car, on Soft tires too,

@Dhsomehing we were testing at Indy road,

 

[freshseth83]

I've got to the 1:27s on softs with the Viper #91. Maybe its my setup?

Softs, but I hadn't done much tuning except the ride height.

 

[Fran1001]

Sign me up as well.

franko1002/fran1001/Citroen GT

 

[freshseth83]

Hey, Franko is good! He was basically tied with me in private testing.

Ill sign him up asap! He's making wish I picked my Citroen. Hey TnT & Dave, how do you feel about the Citroen chassis?

It's not a bad car, I drive it once in awhile. I still prefer the beast in the Viper.

 

[freshseth83]

I'm still deciding which car I want to use! I have a lot of cars I really like in this series. I like the Panoz, the black Ford GT, the GTR LM, the Citroen, the Audi, the Camaro, the C5-R, the Fairlady Z LM, the Zonda LM and the Jaguar! So many choices, I think all those cars are damn even.

 

[joetruckv8]

I thought that Panoz was going to be slow, but quite the opposite! That things gains some serious Mph

 

[freshseth83]

I think we should add another round, and do Fuji F instead of Fuji GT. I never liked Fuji GT, too much cutting where the chicane is in the F version.

I've never liked any version of Fuji. If I had a choice we wouldn't even race that course

 

[TDZdave]

I feel it needs a visit to the voluntary euthanasia clinic, I just want to beat the thing in the face with a shovel! I HATE IT! don't know how it handles, never ever drove it, its like Justin Timberlakes goatee, I doesn't look right and no I don't want to ride it!

 

[joetruckv8]

I would like Fugi F if it was digitally copy better. In real life that chicane is way faster then the slow pd gave us for Fuji. Seth I know you watch a lot racing, but fo anyone who doesn't, go to youtube.com and check out WEC 6hrs of Fuji and that footage shows it good. It looks like we are going to have a great turn out so I was think maybe we should keep the points and do 8 races once a month ending in October. That would be kinda cool don't ya think!?

 

[freshseth83]

I think bi-weekly would be better. May keep the interest up.

 

[racefan88]

I'd like bi-weekly as well, currently it looks like ill be able to make the march 3 race

 

[dhrittme]

I agree.

 

[TDZdave]

yes fortnightly,

 

[joetruckv8]

I think bi-weekly would be better. May keep the interest up.

I didn't want to expose this yet, but I cant do bi weekly because I was going to launch a FIA GP2 series once a month which would land exactly 2 weeks from this 1. Pretty much March 1st comes rolling around and you off load your 2 weeks of practice on Blancpain, and then put up for GT cars and grab your GP2 Indy car and hammer out another 2 weeks off practice for the GP2 event. Once that's over it will be time to grab for GT car again for 2 more weeks of practice to catch Blancpain again. With each series operating once a month, but 2 weeks apart from each other. You're pretty much racing every 2 wks; which is needed for 300km racing, but this will also help with people from getting bored of racing the same ol thing. We have GT300's on Saturday's, GT500's (blancpain) on Sunday's, And 500hp FGT (GP2) on Sundays. Plus it will be easy to launch GP2 because it will pretty much be a one make series so all we have to do is select a hp range (no car specing, yea!). All that is left is for Seth to create a Prototype Series or spot race and Dave got Group C on lock. And then a driver can choose to drive whatever car or mock series he feels like. Seth got IGTO, Joe got JGTC GT300, Joe will have GP2, and Blancpain. Jav's got FIA GT1, Pure's got WEC on and one of the best JGTC GT500 on lock (not to mention there will always be someone doing a JGTC GT500 event). I believe that's all the series I can find on Speed2.com My goal is to provide all the famed series we watch at home to be available here on gtp. 👍

-Thoughts?

 

[TDZdave]

you forgot V8SC starting from late March.... hopefully,

 

[joetruckv8]

Dude I wish we had more freakin V8 supercars on this game. At least 1 Holden version of a supercar to run against the Ford Falcon, I almost considered a Holden Commodore vs Monaro CV8 spot race just to get some Aussie racing going on' 👍

 

[memto89]

are we racing at spa now?? since there are more votes for it than indy

 

[memto89]

first off could i please switch to the Audi R8 LMS... i managed to get a 1:28.8 but over a 15 lap stint i was in between 1:28.8 and 1:29.6 and soft tyres will last around 22 laps... anyone else getting these sort of figures??

 

[jonnyb1990]

Sign me up for the Audi R8 too, PSN: jonnyb1990. Series looks great =)

 

[dhrittme]

Hey all,

Please mark me down for the heavy Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car.

Thanks!

Yeah Joe, lol
Where are we running for todays practice and are we practicing today?

 

[joetruckv8]

Heads Up Fellas,. My PB was 1'30's but after one day of testing using the CSW wheel. I was in the 27'2 with a PB of 1'26'xxx. I knew I could drive, hehe'
