@miata13B, when you get a chance, try this tune out. Admittedly, what I did was match your figures without a power limiter, which oddly enough was possible. I should have tried to see how yours worked, because I'm sure the torque figures are different. I will do this next time I am able to. But this is what I came up with late last night.
It changes your Stage 3 engine to a Stage 2, and it removes the Catalytic Converter upgrade, power is at 100%, but you're still at 440HP.

110 ballast weight
Carbon Hood
Engine stage 2
Sport computer
Racing Exhaust
Exhaust Manifold
Intake tuning
440HP, 541PP

If you're happy with that, this is what we'll use for this car.

I'll jump on this tonight, shake down the car and set it up for Cape Ring. We'll see at Cape if it needs to be nerfed some more or not.

I predict it will be okay. It matched the Aston on pace for me.

 

[flip55]

So just to give a heads up on times for Thursday's race, we will open the room up at 11:00pm EST, and qualifying will start at 11:15. Qualifying will be 12 minutes, followed by the first 20 minute race, then the hour long main event. Excited to get this one going! See you guys there!

 

[GTP_Nail]

Ok, 110 ballast weight
Carbon Hood
Engine stage 3
Sport computer
Racing Exhaust
Exhaust Manifold
Catalytic Converter
Intake tuning
Power limiter at 91.1%
That is what I have on the NSX

Don't trust him...he's deadly with that car

I spin it enough not to be deadly .

The only thing that is truly deadly is the amount of money I would have to pay Realtime Racing back for destroying their GT Class NSX

 

[mr_lab_rat]

Will probably be late tonight but I'll try top make it.

I've been looking for one that's in my timezone...there are still spots open ya ?

Join up tonight. I think Flip will be on around 11 pm est.

Yes there are! You can grab a car and jump in! Just add flip157 to your friend's list, we're going to be in a private lounge for this one.

Ok sweet. Is it ok if i run one of the z06's at under 555 pp, 438 HP, no power mods and keep weight around 1330 kg?

I took the aston and m3 you have set up without a tune and took the z06 without a tune, just the pp range and weight range and tested at spa real quick...no super fast laps just consistent and the aston ran a 2:30, the z06 was a 2:29 and the m3 was slower than the aston but I don't really drive the m3 or the aston that much.

I don't have a tune set up for the aston and the z06 was not tuned either, I just wanted to see them stock to stock. I just feel more comfortable in the z06.

I will see if I can take a look at the Z06 before setting up the room, but I think that should be alright. That is actually one of the cars I don't have.

 

[flip55]

Just giving you guys a heads up, I may be a few minutes late. Will keep you guys posted.

 

[GTP_Nail]

After three hours in a french skateboard at a track I hate....Nurburgring F....I'm done for the day...see you all on Tuesday. My car will be the BMW. SORRY but I can't get out of the barcalounger

 

[flip55]

Sorry, false alarm.

Room is now live!

Event finished!

 

[mr_lab_rat]

As much as I hate that track it was pretty good practice. I don't think the Camaro is too fast. It was the driver skill.
I won't have time to test other cars so I'm keeping the M3. I have a West coast friend who is interested in joining and we would likely form a BMW team.

 

[flip55]

First off, a big thank you to everyone who came out last night! The best is yet to come!

I have updated the Events Post in this thread with our next race: Test Race at Silverstone. Click HERE to see it )or go to post #3). There will be a week off after that for the Thanksgiving holiday.
I will be on tonight to do things and double check cars.

 

[flip55]

Wasn't able to do what I wanted to Friday night due to time constraints. So if everything goes according to plan, I should be on tonight the check the regs on both Chevys. (The Vette was done really fast, I just want to double check numbers.) I will be at Silverstone tonight, those who can make it tonight are welcome to join.

Quick BOP update for this Thursday.

For Chevy drivers: @Kgffy @5150S2K @onebadVr4

I think we should try the Chevys at 1350 kg. The way things developing, this or something very close may become the new minimum weight. Most of the cars are already there, anyhow. No additional power mods to the Camaro.

For the Corvette Z06:

As well as the 1350kg weight, I want to slightly nudge the car down to 86.0% on the power limiter without any power mods on it.

For the NSX: @miata13B

Drop it down to 1350 for this week and see what happens. We'll take it from there.

Since no one's taken the Mustang yet, I will drive that one this week to see how that one stacks up. If I can get it to rotate before Thursday, I'll be happy.

I also have created the Google Doc for the added cars in the field. The Vette, ISF, and NSX specs can be found here. I will add pictures and make it look much, much fancier when I get the time to.

Sounds good. I think that the power limiter is not a good idea. After having it on the NSX before Cape Ring and running it without the power limiter changes the whole power band for the car. There is not any way to hit those power goals without it is there?

Whoops, read that on the fly and didn't see the Z06 did not have any power mods on it.

 

[miata13B]

Base model BMW M4 does not have a flat floor addition with the update :-( sorry @flip55

But it does have Black Kidney inserts :-)

GOOD NEWS!

The Gentlemen's Cup group has been set up in the community section of the game! Gran Turismo, we've waited way too long to have the frickin' feature in the game! Invites have gone out to those on the list.

Events will be scheduled and loaded in there. However, keep most of the discussions here, it's easier for me to respond to this forum.

The December calender of events will be out this weekend.

And of course, Silverstone race will be tonight! Hope to see you guys there!

Hey Flip, I am moving into my new place on December 1st. I do not believe I will have Internet up by that Thursday :-(. Also I am going to be out of town next week. Snowboarding season has started :-)

👍 for snowboarding and the new place! Next week is a holiday, anyhow. We're not having anything that week.
