[Phouchg]

Nah I used the same panning mode so it's about focus.. one of them are also a bit darker. tried to even it out but didn't get it just right. Also didn't wanna stay up any longer that night. ^^

 

[aceboy127]

I think I can do both of those times, but I will let you know for sure.

 

[jackargent]

[jkt008]

Sounds great, sign me up for the Friday event please. Thanks

 

[John Wells]

I'll need both cars before I can choose colours. I'll also need to get rid of the street racing stigma I still have attached to me.

 

[watermelon punch]

Okay peeps - tell your friends so we can fill up the grids a bit more!

Anyone who needs one of the cars...
I have spare Mercs. If anyone needs the Audi A2, let me know & I'll try help trade for it for something, or track someone down who can dupe one or whatever it takes. 👍

I'll need both cars before I can choose colours. I'll also need to get rid of the street racing stigma I still have attached to me.

We have a 1st turn procedure for these races.
So unless you get crazy on Race #1, you should be fine.
Just kidding.

I'll send you the Merc as soon as it lets me send another car (probably tomorrow).

Append:
Also street: I have a 1000 ticket & a LVL 23 ticket, that I'm willing to trade...
And if jackargent can't help me out, I need a Nissan 240SX (S14) '96 LOW mileage (doesn't have to be zero) - I need it by tomorrow evening (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=273868)
Or I don't know what the heck car I'm going to use there.

I never heard about this series, but I love the concept! Too bad it's not doable for me because of the time.

Judging from your request, you need an FR-car with less than 421PP?

I have 2 alternate (and actually faster) suggestions:
Mazda RX-8 '03
Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II '91

 

[jackargent]

I've sent you one.

THANKS JACKARGENT!!
It has exactly the pp I needed to add up.
I didn't have an RX-8 either (low mileage). And the Merc Evolution 91 is chosen by someone else I see.
I'm kind of fumbling in the dark with that, because I'm out of my usual PP range.

I never heard about this series, but I love the concept! Too bad it's not doable for me because of the time.

I hope everyone goes & looks at this series, because it IS quite an interesting idea!!

The time is not that great for me either being on the east coast.

So... I'm planning to unveil a proposal for VCRC along these same lines. (And will likely be scheduled at some kind of Euro-friendly time.)
Just that I'm thinking of lower PPs & older cars.

So keep an eye on the VCRC forum:

(I'm getting a proposal together soon to post.)

Also, snowgt - Can you run this on Wed?

 

[jackargent]

I don't have spares of either of these cars. However am happy to dupe one for anyone who needs one - please post on here & i'll let you know what I can do & when.

I'm sending AudiMan2011 the Merc today. 👍
He needs the Audi as well.

i shall send him the audi in about 12 hours

 

[snowgt]

Wed 2000 UTC should be fine. Count me in, please.

Have both cars and did a Nordschleife lap with each. I think we might see someone break the 10 minute barrier with a little slipstream.

ps: with the A-class, obviously.

pps: My cars are Denim Blue Pearl (Audi) and, Ember Red (Mercedes).

 

[John Wells]

I just need the Audi Melon

 

[watermelon punch]

I'll see if I can find you one. 👍
If I strike out, perhaps Jackargent will be able to send another dupe before race time. (He's booked for today.)

 

[Strawman Andy]

Yeah sign me up for wednesday.👍 May be slow but enjoying slower cars more than fast cars on GT5 recently

 

[AudiMan2011]

I am such a complete spanner... I looked in my standard car list and I DO have an Audi A2. I just didn't look hard enough, so all I need is just the Merc.

My colours are also decided:

Audi: Negro magico
Merc: Starmist Blue

 

[paulmac2k9]

Put me down for both melon but will be 50/50 on Wednesday can make the late race though. Also can I have different colours for both cars I have a thing for picking colour to suit a car.

 

[aceboy127]

I can do Friday, but not Wednesday.

 

[watermelon punch]

WILL BE IN THE VCRC LOUNGE FOR NEXT HOUR OR SO PRACTICING WITH THE GERMAN SUPERMINIS
👍

@ AudiMan2011 - Sent Merc 👍
@ John Wells - traded for someone to send the Audi - should get it today. 👍

Sign-up list updated. 👍
Welcome all!

These superminis are definitely at the lower end of power, even for me.
But there's just something so satisfying when you keep momentum on the Nurb, and get the lines right to keep a low power car like this going at its best possible speed.
The mix-up with the models should prove to be interesting spicing up the competition.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Might come.

 

[Phouchg]

Race 2 will be interesting, with the fastest drivers in the slowest cars round the nürb I'm unproportionally excited for this.

I agree, that will be interesting. The Audi is about 10 seconds slower round the Ring, but more stable in corners. If you manage to stay in the Mercedes's slipstream, maybe someone can pull off an Audi-win.

 

[jkt008]

Hey watermelon, I've decided that my colour for both of the cars will be Silver. Thanks 👍

 

[Phouchg]

Talking colours my colour for both are mustard yellow

 

[watermelon punch]

In practice today Audiman2011 in the Audi, beat me in the Merc.

Granted, it was only by 0.1 seconds. Still.

With these pairs, (we've done before), the slower car is always the more stable handling. So it tends to better the experience for all.
Fast drivers can still manage to feel a boon w/ the faster car. And those in the slower car at least have less chance of messing up.
Works out interesting I think.

 

[Phouchg]

Yeah it's not a huuge difference between the cars so I expect a little mix of cars through the field.. at least in race 2

 

[AudiMan2011]

The Audi did require some serious hoonage through some of the higher speed corners, and quite a lot of drafting on the straights to make up for the 25bhp(-ish) difference.

The Merc was more fun to drive with some good lift-off oversteer in some sections. It makes me hope the new A45 and CLA45 AMG versions will be in GT6.
