With that avatar, no wonder.

1) get your Discord working
2) When doing all time ToCA stats I actually forgot, you were kinda decent

My discord does work, it's just not interesting

My general impressions of the specs (credit to @GTPorsche for final specs and @Spurgy 777 for some assistance), after testing with Spurgy, @Andil , @Ninners

Peugeot: Doesn't feel quick. Chassis a bit meh, plenty of acceleration but runs out of steam. Also sounds poor and has disadvantage of being a Peugeot (sorry @doblocruiser )
Renault: Have we been here before? Ridiculous torque, bit clumsy handling. Very fast but requires some precision to be consistent
VW: Excellent traction off corner, but lazy turn in and literally no acceleration. Audi's passing me on the straight so easily. Could be gearing related though.
Audi: Fast on straights, but being even lighter than its TT Cup variant, even more unwieldy and wild.

BoP may be adjusted at will before Round #1, just a reminder.

Gotcha.

Wonder if we'll get anyone with BTCC-inspired liveries? We need a Peugeot like this

No, we don't

Regarding the sport races, that explains why most people in Renaults drive like idiots. Lol

 

[damonc84]

Regarding liverys, I'm think makING something from one of the TOCA games, found a livery I like from Race driver 3.

Spent an hour or so going in circles with the setup and making no progress... Then I change my controller settings and gain half a second on my last run

Sensitivity all the way up to 7?

Controller settings are important with the way steering input is filtered in GTS for the DS4.

 

[Ninners]

It was the FFB settings that made the difference. My controller sensitivity was already 7 and the FFB was default before... I guess I really should have played around with them before to suit me better.

Well I've found out now

Isn't FFB just for wheels?

 

[Ninners]

Isn't FFB just for wheels?

I would have thought so too, but things felt better after I changed them

 

[GTPorsche]

How does FFB change controller feel?

It doesn't.

 

[Furinkazen]

So I won't confirm any spec changes until after weekend, but initially looks like minor weight breaks for Renault and VW.

 

[DrifterJoe]

@Furinkazen Any chance we can swap the Kyoto round to use the new combined layout?

Tested it. No decision yet.

Interested, although I cannot gurantee my presence in every round.

It's really just a decision based on whether or not you want the race to include the chicane. On one hand, it removes one passing opportunity, but provides 3 more on the Miyabi circuit. Also, reverse looks like the better direction for the full layout. the transition back to the Yamagiwa circuit in the forward direction is tricky.

would it be possible to update my info for the series?
