[V8-Johnboy]

<--- HINT 💡

Both of those! Wow

 

[Roflwaffle]

Both of those! Wow

I know, pretty impressive

 

[Furinkazen]

NO..... I await the C3. Furi, you know it makes sense.

Not yet. And you know that.

 

[FlyingFox]

Not yet. And you know that.

I know, you're going to leave it until the last WSC to reintroduce it

Did I say last? Way I see it I got two more seasons of the 60's before the 70's - +1 Ed onto what I said.

Btw chances of a split WSC with a christmas break increasing.

It's weird in the sense that the GTOs will change according to time while the GTPs remain the same. We need more prototypes in the game.

Well testing at Daytona has been... reassuring. Before at Brands I was using the suspension from the tune Snow told me about. Well as it turns out, the suspension is that particular tune's weak point. I tried my own suspension with the rest of the settings from the tune and my times were overall better, but most importantly I was much more consistent, and the car felt much easier to drive. The suspension from the original tune was far too soft for my liking. I am confident that if I am granted a spot during the season I might just be able to get a good finish like I did last season at the Matterhorn. My times seem to be okay at Daytona (1:58.3).

I'm pretty sure there's only been 3 races this season so far...

EDIT: So to finish this... I'm pretty sure that I haven't shown any sub-standard driving, nor have I rage-quitted from any event (given both at BH and Matterhorn I told you I would be dropping out of the race before actually doing so, and always inside the pits)

@Furinkazen, still waiting on a proper reply to this...

Well, if we keep advancing into the 80's and 90's, there will be plenty to choose from...

Won't be going that far. Will work on things.

Shame...


Also, after checking my post from earlier I saw that you must have taken it the wrong way when I posted this...

Just ignoring that...

This was a reply to Nin's post just above yours on page #49 (didn't quote it as he didn't actually say anything and just quoted other posts), but you replied as I was still writing it...

 

[Downhill Dino]

Not much to go for in the 70's anyways.

Up to 1974...

 

[Downhill Dino]

Nothing in terms of prototypes I mean.



Speaking of 70's. I wonder if the RX500 will race... have been waiting since release of GT6.

I wouldn't mind

A lot depends on timings. This timeline will have a conclusion. And when that concludes, so does this series.

Really? Now that's a downer...


Also, still waiting for an answer... if you really want me to miss a race, I can skip Bathurst as I'll be working the graveyard shift next week prior to that race...

It's 1.40am Not gonna be firing on all cylinders. I need to tidy couple Op elements together.

Sure thing... I did just got back from work though...

GT-O Fix

Swap "C2" for 300SL, Mustang, E-type, GTB or 507 and it still works.

Cry-babies.

1) EVERY other car is faster in a straight line than the GTO Top speed by as much as 10km/h, and not to speak of acceleration (muscle car drivers).
2) I'm pretty certain the 507, the GTB, the 300SL and the E-type have comparable fuel consumption. And to complain about a muscle car's fuel consumption is pointless. Hardly comes as a surprise, if you pick the car.
3) Yes, the GTO handles best. Big surprise it had an advantage on all the twisty tracks which were bunched up together at the beginning of the season.

Note to @Furinkazen : For the future and every racing series, please plan the calendar with the track characteristics in mind, so that slow and fast tracks alternate. Because it's always the same story - people pick one type of car ill-suited for the first couple of races, then whine for ages until they get an unneeded boost in the middle of the season, only to dominate at the end, because the cars were best suited to those tracks to begin with and are then hopelessly OP'd. A balanced calendar saves everyone a lot of unnecessary bickering.

We could do with:

Ferrari 512 M

Porsche 917

Matra-Simca MS 670B

and more... @kaz listen plz

 

[raceorama123432]

Sorry for double post, but I don't think the GTO is OP. It's tyres are much wider than the other cars. Which means it's good in the corners and slow on the straights (due to increased drag). The fact that snow has won all three races is down to three reasons:

• The tracks are twisty
• Snow is a really good driver
• Snow is lucky with damage

 

[Pluxtheduck]

I want a 917K, 917LH and 512M. Then we can re-run Le Mans properly

 

[raceorama123432]

I'd like a T70, but we've past that era now

 

[Pluxtheduck]

I'd like the Can-Am cars

The 250 GTO isn't that much better, I'm pretty sure the BMW could compete if someone actually bothered with it. That was the 1st time I've driven round matterhorn (apart from 2 laps on a seasonal), only the second time I've driven the BMW (almost default setup), and at the 250 GTO's best track I was just over a second off. Given that @snowgt is also the fastest driver in the class, I'm not surprised to see him do so well.
As he correctly pointed out the second half of the season will be dominated by cars with more straightline speed (it's pretty clear the GTO is the slowest on a straight), so calling for a change to it now is unnecessary. He will struggle at le mans (unless we get a game changing update), which with the double points is as bad as having two weeks of bad tracks. If he has one bad week, and @Roflwaffle wins, waffle could close in 11 points. And say if that bad weekend is at le mans, he could lose 22 points.....it's not over yet...

 

[raceorama123432]

It will struggle this week for much of the lap, more so at le mans

 

[Furinkazen]

@Roflwaffle @FlyingFox @gokartman78 @snowgt @raceorama123432

This is my final word on the 250GTO "issue" Which is not really an issue in any way.

I would see an issue if all the 250GTO's had dominated the first 3 races. But they haven't. Snow was legit the fastest driver at Brands. Yera kept him honest at N24 whereas lets face it - don't blame your cars - half of you just fell off the road running out of talent (can include myself there). At Matterhorn at the end ultimately, Snow was barely a pit stop ahead of Rofl. If he had to pit it would have been mighty close.

Now what have we got next?

Daytona Road - Straights mainly.
Bathurst - Straights mainly but the 250 GTO's chassis will shine in the middle of the lap.
Monza - I think we all know the answer.
Silverstone - Little mix of both. Then changeable weather as well.
Spa - Mainly fast. Weather though...
Le Mans - pure pace. A GTO weakness. Remember the Corvette train last season?


Far as i'm concerned, it is (and sorry to the person who it is but it is pal) some sour grapes as they've ended up getting caught in incidents first 2 races and wrecked before they have had a chance. I've already said the Lotus is coming in future. Another car is as well, and the Jaguar and BMW get dropped from this line up end of season. And replying... "but" "grumble" "mutter" "moan" "bah humbug" from anybody won't get stuff done. If ya struggling, get some set up advice. I mean even bloody Ryan of all people has managed a respectable Daytona pace with some tuning help. Focus on your own campaigns and leave the BoP / organisation issues with the fella who has to do the whole of this pretty much organisation wise - me.

Seriously all you guys do is turn laps, turn up and race. I'm the one who in any series I run gets the BoP complaints, the "my car can't do this", "this track is too hard", and also has to maintain all the OP rules, tables, and make sure i'm free on a weekly basis. So you lot got it easy.

Rant over. I'm going to run some Bathurst laps perhaps later on today - far as i'm concerned i'm all set for Daytona after the Roar.
