Gran Turismo: Simulation Mode

[Satomiblood]

Okay, the poll closed with only 3 votes and it was a 3-way tie. I re-started the poll and it'll last for 1 month. I want to ensure more voting participation before a true consensus can actually be reached. The race schedule has been updated. It'll just be 3 races, but they'll be a bit longer than the usual 4-5 laps we typically see with tracks of these lengths.

The room will be up in an hour.

The event specs for Sunday, 3/24 are up:

French and Italian manufacturers (N200).

 

[Satomiblood]

So, here's a question: does the A layout for St. Croix suit everyone for N200 or would B work better? I'm partial to B because I feel it flows better, but I wanted to give one of the other layouts (A or C) a shot.

I like the B layout as well. Im going to say I am a maybe for this weekend. Some real life things are happening at the moment.

Hey, man. Hang in there.

I'm liking B more and more for this event as well. I think I'll switch to that layout, unless there's any opposition, and then we can make it a point to use A or C for a higher class.

 

[RadStewart]

B layout would probably be better. I'm gonna need to practice. Haven't played that circuit in a while.

Nick, hope everything smooths over soon.

 

[Nick Cannella]

Thanks fellas. Nothing I can’t overcome. It’s just work stuff that has made my schedule shift a little bit. Hopefully it gets back on track by the end of the week.

 

[Satomiblood]

I haven't tested them all out yet, but @LineR32 has some pretty good setups in his tuning thread: Garage R32.

A few of them should work for this event.

 

[LineR32]

Just updated the DS3 tune, going to check the Pug and see if that needs updating.

Pug 208 only needed a couple of values changing. I'm gonna see what I can do with the RCZ GT Line.

The DS3 tune works really well for Monza. The only thing I'm having an issue with is BOP and how it might neuter this tune and others. I don't know if I should just set max power and min weight values and switch BOP off entirely.

 

[LineR32]

BoP should help it out a little. The 208 feels better to drive on the pad.

 

[RadStewart]

I think I might dust off the ChumpCar Megane and give it a go all day.

Pushing hard. Some, a little too hard.

Nice. I'm going to try to limit my choices to cars I've barely used like the Citroen DS3, Peugeot GTi 280, and Lancia Delta.

I kind of want to add La Sarthe to the mix, but I don't know how y'all would feel about that.

 

[RadStewart]

Delta would be fun. Haven't driven it yet.

I'd be fine with La Sarthe, but I definitely need a few practice laps.

 

[LineR32]

I think the cars with bigger engines will dust anything else around La Sarthe.

 

[Satomiblood]

My concern is that La Sarthe is also too long of a track for a race centered on these cars. Maybe we can save it for another event.

 

[LineR32]

Worth testing out. It's a good track.

I've added an Abarth 500 tune.

 

[Satomiblood]

Okay, we’ll add La Sarthe as the 5th and final race of the event. 2 Laps.

 

[Satomiblood]

So, what liveries and cars will people be primarily using tomorrow? Please feel free to share any liveries or scapes photos you might have. I want to liven up the thread a bit.

 

[LineR32]

I what cars yet but livery will prob be my usual Red Line Oil.

Good set of races today. Audi TT one-make next week. Event will be called Tourist Trophy +.

 

[Satomiblood]

Most of the details for the next event are up. Race schedule is TBD. Should have it early this week.

 

[LineR32]

Here's what happened at the start of lap 2 at La Sarthe.

 

[Satomiblood]

@LineR32 That same player tried using the XNR as well. I should've booted him straight away and that probably would've been avoided. I messed up a few times at La Sarthe myself. I only did a test run to see how it'd work for the event. Really out of practice there.

p.s. If you have any race photos, feel free to share them in the thread as well.

 

[Satomiblood]

The race schedule has been updated. It'll be a shorter event (3 races), but the races will feature more laps. I also incorporated Yamagiwa + Miyabi for the first time.

@LineR32 @Nick Cannella @RadStewart @hirnsauger69

Thoughts on the race schedule?

Also, who can make this Sunday's event (so I can update the sign-up sheet accordingly)? And if you plan on inviting people to this event, and they're fellow GTP members, please tag them in this thread.
