FITT - Moving on to GT6!

[tris_73]

Has anyone heard from DigitalBaka regarding his roadsters @ 450pp event and when he will be starting it/posting an event thread with details?

I'd like to know more about this one

So would I!!

 

[CSLACR]

On second thought, I may not be buying any of the DLC now. Or possibly just the track, we'll see if they can change my mind.

After what I've read about the DLC so far it looks like the only part I will be getting is the tracks and I still feel I'm getting ripped off. PD has managed to produce a real batch of junk and try and sell it to me.

Had my doubts about some of it but thought it might be interesting and worth the money over the long run. But having to buy multiple copies of the DLC for cars, paints and gears is just an example of corporate greed. Add in that half the cars are ones I'd never use and the rest don't hold a lot of interest for me to be honest.

Sorry for the rant, just disappointed by something I thought might be interesting.

Me too, i think SPA is the best F1 track ever, but the rest..... ??!! Having those cars or not will not make any difference for me. Paints ? The only special one i like is matte black, and i discover i can get one buying a LFA..... I can buy 1000 LFA with fake money to paint all my cars if i want to, that's enough for me. But SPA ... yes ! SPA make me smile, a lot !!!

Well the DLC got pushed to October 25 (in the US anyway). I don't drive the touring cars I have, so more might not be too useful. I did think maybe a GT300 type shootout could work sometime though.

Now that everyone seems to have touge fever, I'm curious what events are on the horizon. Hopefully something on SPA with fast cars...

SPA with fast cars......
like a Toyota GT-ONE Race Car (TS020) '99
Toyota MINOLTA Toyota 88C-V Race Car ‘89
Nissan R89C Race Car ‘89
Nissan R92CP Race Car ‘92
Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR Race Car ‘98
Mazda 787B Race car ‘91
Audi R8 Race Car ‘01
Audi R10 TDI Race Car '06
Peugeot 908 HDi FAP '10
ets etc etc.....

I love the idea !!

I'd forgotten just how fast a track Spa was...

For any of you that haven't gotten to try it out yet, it's absolutely phenomenal. Graphics are second to none, not even the Nurburgring in GT5 is even close IMO.

And I'm very much liking your idea Praiano, very much.👍 I'm thinking RS tires for user friendliness this time though, any thoughts on that?

LMP's at SPA!

Nothing against the LMPs per sey but think it would be good at some point to run a shootout for the RM, tuner and concept cars that so far have been excluded for the most part.

Amazing yes madame !!! Just need the track to begin to practice I remember it from an old Formula 1 game on PS1, it was so good, how enormous can it be now ?

Hello my friend. This track have one point that need very fast cars. Eau rouge left and right left raidillon. This is the soul of this circuit, and i think that with a slower car you will not have any difficulty and consequently any sensation to pass there.
Only who already have the track like madame can test this and tell to us.
Can you make a report about this later dear madame CSLACR ??

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat, not having the track yet, I just joined an online lobby running it last night. (Yes, you can )

What I can say, is speed is IMO, a necessary element for driving pleasure at this track.
It doesn't have to be LMP fast, but if it is RM's, it would likely have to be limited to the ones with the most downforce, TVR, Corvettes, LFA, but there's not many to choose from.
If it's standard cars, drivers attaining them could be an issue, unless GT300 (cheaper) cars, or GT500 cars. In either case, a GT300 car on Spa would feel like an eternity, probably full throttle 95% of the time, very fast track, with long sweeping curves the benefit from downforce and power is massive.

Cars like the Zonda LM, Zonda R, Ford GT race cars, C5R, Team Oreca Vipers, Citroen GT Race car, could be an option also, if people have them. (Level 22 ticket gives them out also)

I don't know, just throwing more ideas out there, I like the idea of GT300's, I just don't know how much fun it would be slowing down on flat-out sections like the uphill on the first straight, which slows down 500HP GT500 cars.

Sounds like a great track for cars like the Cadillac Cien, VW Nardo, R390 (either the road car or the race car) etc. Looking forward to getting it.

Wish the SRT8 TC wasn't the only one of the DLC cars I was really interested in. Just can't justify spending the money for 1 car. Really don't understand why we needed 4 more GT-Rs a new version of the ridiculous X2010 and 3 more go carts.👎👎

Hopefully there will be future car packs with a better selection.

I actually found the reverse here. In a fast car with downforce I had no problems getting around this sequence. In a slow car with now downforce, coming up over the crest caused a good deal of instability, and resulted in spinning off.

Could just be my driving though

The MX5 is my favourite of the TC cars so far.

I got a chance to run Spa tonight for the first time in a free run lobby hosted by a racing buddy of mine from Down Under. Ran all kinds of cars but the most fun were the LMP cars. GT500 cars at stock hp were really kind of slow here, with their big downforce and relatively low top speed, it's a big track and most of the curves are big as well. I think you need to look at 600+ hp at Spa to have much emphasis on driving and tuning.

Something that might also be interesting at Spa is a 600pp shootout but limited to cars with no front downforce to eliminate the 458, the Lambo's etc. I think if you do that, the field will be much more wide open, and the tunes will really need to be special.

I was running my Mine's BNR34 GT-R N1 Base (premium) at Spa today. The car has 660hp and handles phenomenally!! as well as the S2000 GT1 Turbo.

The McLaren MP4-12C feels right at home in Spa. and I've got a nice tune for my 877hp Enzo. Also very fast!!!

Sorry for being away so long folks! Work and the kids have kept me pretty busy of late. Rest assured, though, the planning of the Roadster Battle is nearly complete! I will be sitting down tonight to finish typing up the details and to finalize the schedule. I will run some of the details past X this weekend. Think I have just about everything worked out as far as rules and restrictions and such details but I'm prepared for some changes and edits if necessary.

Hope you all will find it entertaining!

I got in a pretty bumpy crash today fellows, while my car didn't damage at all aside from some scratches, here's what I did to it when I caught it:

.... He almost got away from me, since I was behind a car when I spotted him, got around the other car and ran him down like a small dog, popped him off to the side and drove on with a smile.

 

[tris_73]

Yes.. And I'm sure that battery acid is far more friendly to the environment than petrol when it's spilled like that.....

Huuuuuh ... rrrrrrr ... yyyyy up..!!

Life takes first place Sir, so whenever you're ready ............ which'll be soon, yeah..??

I got in a fender-bender with a Policewoman the other day just up the road from my work. She'd only completed her Advanced Drivers training two weeks before, I laughed long and hard ... straight up, true story, bro ... 👍

{Cy}

 

[DigitalBaka]

Yep, planning to start mine up next week Friday, so soon indeed!

You guys have better fender bender stories than I do. Some day I'll post pictures of my destroyed GTI from my highway crash...sad day that was.

 

[Indy Racerfan]

X until I or BB hear back from zero in regards to his S/O event, lets bump up the next event..until I can find out specs etc for what he had planned..also mentioned this in CKR v2 thread.

TIA

Mine wasn't a fender bender or accident, I was 🤬 hunting. jk, of course.

Okay finally got around to updating the OP, F.I.T.T. Rules and upcoming events posts.

Thanks to everyone for the input and sorry for taking so long to update stuff.

speed_zero had his PS3 die so his/CKRs shootout has been at least temporarily canceled. Hopefully either the other members of CKR can sponsor an event in the near future or speed_zero can replace/repair his PS3 and get back to us here.

CSLACR you said you had decided not to get the DLC cars, are you still planning to run a Touring Cars Vs. RM's@SPA shootout?

Last thing for now. We made it through the list of rules I had posted as examples, are there any other suggestions for additional rules? Also is everyone satisfied with the OP and its current layout or is there suggestions for improving it?

I think eveything looks great (my kids love that you used there picture 👍 ) I'm sure things will pop up that were not covered, but from what I see it's really cut and dry, and looks good.

One last thing, maybe I'm not the best person to be the FAQ guy. My time of playing, and input is limited. I will give as much input I can but if someone can take the roll of FAQ and do it right, that would be great.

 

[DigitalBaka]

Have at it folks! The Fall Roadster Battle is up and underway! I hope everyone finds it to be entertaining.

Well, I have the DLC, couldn't resist after all.

But, it's gotta be LMP's at Spa. If you like LMP's at all, Spa is just a fantastic track to drive them on.
I haven't worked out exact details yet, but I'm thinking of an offline shootout, just because they're so much easier to do, especially with expensive un-tradeable cars such as these.

And racing softs will be allowed for user-friendliness.

Got a date for your next shootout Desperado? I'm in no rush, just curious is all.

You aren't alone in being unable to resist getting the complete pack so I'll be looking forward to your shootout.

Due to speed_zero encountering technical difficulties (PS3 died) his event has been indefinitely postponed. This means my "Tons of Fun" shootout is next in line. I'll most likely post the thread sometime during the last week of DigitalBaka's Roadster Battle. Still have a few ideas about it I need to finalize before starting it.

Would be great if we could develop a standardized F.I.T.T. Event OP in time for Tons of Fun.

What does everyone think about me setting up a new thread for discussion and posting of suggested OP layouts?
