Gran Turismo: Simulation Mode

[Satomiblood]

We just got done driving the Mazda 787B in Snail, so I am very familiar with that car and the way it handles. I like it. I would also be interested in the MB Sauber C9.

I kind of want to wait until that Porsche 962C drops to help increase the field.

Couple of thoughts:

Mechanical Damage will be switched completely on, so you'll need to pit if you wreck. I'm also not sure about fuel/tire depletion. I've always run them at x1 apiece for added realism, but I'm not sure if I should bump it. I imagine everyone will have to pit at least once at the current x1 setting, whether it's for a refuel or tire swap. Did you guys run the Mazda with high fuel/tire depletion? Also, do you think Kyoto will work for that class?

Snail runs with tire X1 and no fuel depletion. They are also sprint races.
Personally, I think the car would perform very well there. We ran it at Monza and it was a blast.

I'll run a custom race to see how it goes. In the meantime, I'll wait for some more car options before creating a new poll.

The car poll is up.

I'd prefer a real track for the Gr. C cars. I've run the Porsche (991) 911 GT3 at N400 around the longer Yamagiwa track, with high fuel usage that required a pit stop in a 5 lap race. That was fun winning races without pitting and not changing the fuel map.

Will either of you be participating Sunday?

 

[Satomiblood]

Just a reminder about tomorrow’s event.

@RadStewart @Tomsoft

Let me know if you guys can make it.

Not sure, but I think I'll make it.

I put you down as tentative.

With tomorrow's update contents pretty much confirmed, the next event will center on the AE86. Race schedule is still TBD. Also, due to a family commitment on Sunday, I'll be switching the event to Saturday. Please let me know if this will work for you.

@LineR32 @Nick Cannella @RadStewart @Tomsoft

Any suggestions on the race schedule for Saturday's AE86 event? I'm honestly stumped. Also, who's planning on participating?

I will be on vacation for the next two weeks. I will resume when we return!

Sat is good.

The Nordschleife is a lot of fun, I'd sugest morning, or dusk light level for it. Tsukuba is also good and I think the newer Tokyo circuit would give some good racing.

N100 is really good for those that don't have a setup/tune for the car. N200 will be harder to control wuth no setup.

I can get behind those tracks. So, we're looking at a 3-race event. You think 4 laps with the Trueno at Nub (Nord) is too much? The most I've ever done were 2 laps... and those featured more powerful cars.

4 Laps are too much, 2 seem to be a good amount of laps around the 'Ring.

Will you actually be attending?

 

[LineR32]

I might have a couple more track suggestions if I race the AE86 tonight.

Here's what we have so far:

Round 1 - Tsukuba Circuit - 10 Laps
Round 2 - Tokyo Expressway (SOL) - 5 Laps
Round 3 - Nürburgring (Nordschleife) - 2 Laps

 

[Tomsoft]

Will you actually be attending?

Yes, this time I'll be attending!

 

[Satomiblood]

I'm surprised no one has shared a race tune for this car yet on the Tuning forum. I do know that there are drift tunes on YouTube. @LineR32, you got any recommendations?

 

[LineR32]

Started tuning it N200 but the car is really good on stock setup at N100.

I haven't tried it, but Bathurst would be a great track for the car too.

Think we should run it as a stock series (no tuning)? And then maybe go for a fully-tuned N200 series at a later date?

 

[LineR32]

Switch to SH tyres if you run it as stock N100.

 

[Satomiblood]

Specs updated. Maybe switching to non-tuning will increase the turnout for this one. I know people have an aversion to tune friendly races.

 

[LineR32]

Seems to be the aversion to any tyre that isn't RSS.

 

[Satomiblood]

Haha, BURN.

Next weekend’s details are up. It’s a hatch battle between the Fit and the Swift.
