It's been a long day ok?

That and he quoting me even though I told him earlier I wouldn't be racing this weekend... :

 

[LancerEvo7]

Such temptation to bring out the white championship winning Alfa again, maybe later on in the season 👍 @Akmuq was pretty quick in that car

I don't think you can paint it on this game. (Which is how it should be imo.)

The Alfa is paintable as i remember someone turning up in an orange Alfa before

Testing it now. I remember that you can't in this game, but I'll try.

EDIT: You can't.

Well you could on GT5 but haven't got the car on GT6 so I presumed that it was the same

 

[Akmuq]

I know furi tagged me solely to plug his new class and as much as I'd love to do it(HSR <3) I'll be in France somewhere at the time.

So after reading through the thread some people were complaining about the cobra, I decided to test it myself:

I have spent the time tuning my Ferrari for HSR and getting it to lap the fastest it can under my skill level. Then I jumped in a cobra which I left with completely STOCK suspension/transmission settings. In a 30 lap stint I was within a second of my Ferrari lap times almost every lap, so with tuning the cobra can definitely match it. Ferrari had about a 2-3mph speed advantage (could also be fixed with transmission tuning?) but cobra made up for it in the corners.

The thing about the cobra is it was just so much easier to drive because it was more forgiving through the corners (Ferrari has fixed toe/camber settings remember). While they are matched on this track I can see how cobra would be quicker on the twisty circuits. Also I had slightly improved tyre wear on the cobra as I could control it more easily.

So yeah I think the performance specs are about equal but to me it is the ease of drivability that is putting the cobra on top in this championship.

With HSR its just basically whoever doesn't stick it in the barrier that is going to win #lastCornerPileupsImminent.

Oh one more thing while I am writing a largish post : while I appreciate the diversity in extra classes I think it would be better to have more drivers in the same class as you so we have more people to race and are not bored out of our skulls halfway through.

Ettick cami rofl all dropped out and snow hsv mikey haven't been able to attend recently.

Don't be even slower than usual...

He's clearly talking about the GT-C class...

 

[LancerEvo7]

Furi, you should switch to GT-C so you have a better shot of podiums.

 

[Furinkazen]

Reminder 2x 10 min sessions with "FAST" settings tonight.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

Sorry for the late notice, but I'm 80% sure I'll miss tonight

 

[chrisjohnson93]

Remember there is an update if you haven't been on for a few days

 

[raceorama123432]

I have a horrible hangover but should still be racing

 

[Furinkazen]

Room up! Throwing open the floodgates for entries as well...

 

[Carbonox]

Those HSR barriers sure are sticky as ever. I also wonder who at PD had the great idea anyway to have those outside kerbs on banked corners.

Racecar DNQ

 

[RACECAR]

hai, gais

Starting tail end due to GT6 being GT6. Like it'll matter much anyway considering its probably gonna disconnect me again anyhow.

Racecar DNQ

Just saying, DNQ usually means that one isn't able to take the start of the race at all. A more accurate statement would be "no time" or something.

Oh and DK's 73.5 if my screen is to be trusted. Lost to me by 0.007.

 

[Furinkazen]

Wow. 5 GT-P's out of 5 on lead lap after 108 circuits.

 

[raceorama123432]

Well done CJ and Siggers

Although the Ferrari did have the straight line advantage, Siggers was the better driver tonight and fully deserved the win. I'm happy with being No.2, again

 

[DK]

Absolute ********. Tonight was probably my only chance of scoring a podium, but of course EVERYTHING had to go wrong.
