Gran Turismo Gentlemans Cup (GTGC) | FINISHED! (for now...) Thanks to everyone who joined in!Finished

[Ares85]

at the present moment the two terms fit me, for me it will be early in the morning but I will try to be
the same time as the race ????

 

[Ares85]

reveal some details of what you are planning

 

[flip55]

I'm off Monday, so I can help test

reveal some details of what you are planning

I have a plan for a one off endurance race that I'd like to do. It would technically be multi class, but I want the classes to be the same speed.

As I have found, the KTM Xbow Street '12 and the Super GT300 cars are roughly the same speed, both at stock spec, I believe. I'd like to confirm this with multiple drivers. I think it would make for an interesting race over the long haul. GT300s have the downforce and the power, the KTMs are half the weight, but are less predictable.
If this works, I'd have two classes set to go. I might have a third class as well, but I'm going to hold off on that for now.

I don't have the specs at the moment, I will post those somewhere for you guys soon. But if I remember correctly, the KTM Street is at stock power and weight, with an oil change, and has all suspension, transmission, and drivetrain mods on it. The GT300s should be completely at stock power and weight, with an oil change. Except for the RX - 7 GT300, which has 50kg of weight added to it.

If any of you guys can make it, bring whatever and we'll take it from there.

KTM does not belong to my favorite car, but the idea of the GT300 class as I like the most, , especially if they are in stock version:tup:

Put me down for a KTM if we race tonight, not sure about monday though

 

[socalspeedfreak]

gentlemen thank you for the opportunity to join your group. sprint race still had a slight learning curve for that car. sorry d4rizob. main race finally found a rhythm with the car and had some great battles and saw extremely clean driving. look forward to the next event.

It won't be anything too formal, it's just to compare lap times and make sure I'm getting the numbers right. Never a bad idea to get a second opinion. Or 3...

I would love to be on Monday night to help out, currently I do not have a definite arrival back to NYC because of the storm. All flights have been cancelled tonight. If I get home tomorrow I should have no issues with Monday night.

 

[draqua_fresh]

Can't make it tonight, but I think I can make it monday! I'll probably grab a gt300. Does it matter which one?

The only one i'm not sure about is the imprezza, i'm not sure how I feel about the AWD advantage. But anything else goes at the moment.

The last time we ran the GT300 the Imprezza had issues with tire wear I believe. It was matched up great with the Lexus, and BRZ.

I'm more concerned with a wet weather advantage than a performance one. AWD makes a huge difference.

Hey, quick question for you guys.

Anyone gonna be on either tonight or Monday night? I have a secret test planned that isn't really that secret, I have an idea I wanna try. Let me know if anyone can make it.

Id like to test too. What time are you gonna do it? on a side note. Id like to have d4zirob as my teammate.

 

[Rob Ledwell]

I can't make it tonight, have an autocross tomorrow and I have to get up early but I can do Monday, although my times might not sho true potential of the car.

 

[Ares85]

And what about the body kit for KTM, install ???

You can if you want, I don't think it makes a difference on the KTM.

I won't be on until a little later. Need to get something out of the way now. FOr those who are on, I'll let you know when I do.

 

[draqua_fresh]

[socalspeedfreak]

Flip autumn ring is forward correct? turn 1 is the start of the s's?

 

[Norm Chaichan]

Flip autumn ring is forward correct? turn 1 is the start of the s's?

I sure hope so cause that's what I've been practicing on lol.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

yes I want to make sure before I get started!!

 

[flip55]

Flip autumn ring is forward correct? turn 1 is the start of the s's?

Yes, Autumn Ring will be forward. Turn 1 is the 180 degree right hander.

 

[socalspeedfreak]

glad that's cleared up!!!

 

[RobbiefromBC]

I wonder how the Nissan will stack up against the rest in the tight, slow speed sections... It's a little difficult getting the power down without burning off the rear tires

 

[flip55]

Hey guys, I have something important to get to tonight, I can't guarantee that I'll be on tonight. Or if I am, it will be past 11:30 my time. I'll know for sure when the time gets closer, but if someone could be on standby and start the room, let me know. Thanks in advance.
