Gran Turismo: Simulation Mode

[Satomiblood]

Anyone else down for Saturday? This might be a small grid as far as GTP players go. Hopefully, it's able to fill up with public players.

 

[TurboTacho]

Just got back home for the weekend. I've just seen the details, I could tentatively join the race, should my commitments permit me.

I've got you down.

 

[Pigems]

I’m in if I still have power, we’re getting a Hurricane tomorrow.

It’ll probably be a very polite and friendly hurricane.

[Pigems]

Fun races today guys! Thanks for hosting @Satomiblood

 

[LineR32]

Was a fun day of racing. The GTO was really fun to drive at Sardegna.

 

[Satomiblood]

Thanks for coming out @LineR32 @Pigems @TurboTacho

And yes, I absolutely agree. It was fun. I’ll have some photos up of today’s races a little later.

 

[TurboTacho]

Thank you for hosting the session. It was indeed a great experience with the classics.

I've had a lot of fun tuning and managing the 512 BB, sliding and spinning across the grass when I carry too much speed around the corner.

Another great thing is, I'm finally making the transition from controller to wheel. Have been deciding between G29 and T300 RS for past months, decided to go for the latter option despite better value for the former which offered a bundle. I hope I could do even better and much more consistent. But I won't get to see the wheel until 2 weeks later...

Perhaps you might see more spectacular doughnuts and wall scratching from me in the future lol!

Here's some pics from the races I did.

Pick-Up Truck Challenge specs are up.

Here's some pics from the races I did.

Those are all great shots. Thanks for sharing them. This is the kind of stuff I like to see in the group.

 

[LineR32]

I got some pretty nice shots from Sardegna. My fave is from the hairpin with Pigems' F50 followed by my GTO. The shot of the other 3 cars at the same corner looks a bit crap because of the lack of shine on the Yellow car.

 

[LineR32]

Just got the Toyota livery sorted. It just needs setting up.

Those rims are great. I applied those to my Competition Orange Ford Raptor.

Speaking of the truck event, I tweaked the race schedule. Switched the order a bit and reduced the lap counts for both Red Bull Ring and Fisherman's Ranch to 4 and 2, respectively.

 

[Satomiblood]

Added a Group C series to the list of upcoming events. I'm waiting for Spa to become available before I deploy it. Unsure about the fuel/tire multipliers, though. Might give x4/x6 a try. It's a setting for one of the Gr.1 races in the Endurance League. Will most likely run it with RS tires if we end up going that route. Or we could just keep it as a sprint event on RH tires.

 

[LineR32]

Longer race might be better, if there's pit stops it'll give some interesting results.

Ran some laps at Interlagos in the Tundra earlier today. Managed a 1'48.553 with stock diff settings and some suspension tweaks. Probably an invalid lap though, I ran a bit wide on a couple corners

 

[Satomiblood]

So you're thinking just one long race for the event then?

 

[LineR32]

Yeah, would be good to do. Or do a sprint race and a feature race.

 

[Satomiblood]

Yeah, would be good to do. Or do a sprint race and a feature race.

Maybe I'll put up a poll to decide which track should be used for the feature race.

Okay, call-out time for Saturday:

@LineR32 - you seem like a Yes considering you've got a Tundra livery ready to go, but I'll hold off until you're able to confirm.

@Pigems @TurboTacho @sturk0167 @GTP_Guido @Nick Cannella - What about you guys?

Also, does anyone here know GTP_Pokey? This player was part of last week's event (drove an orange Pantera and 512 BB - see above photos). I figured that he/she is a GTP member given the username prefix and wanted to extend an invitation to the thread. I've tried a few different combinations of searches and haven't found anything resembling that name, but if he/she is a GTP member, please feel free to tag the appropriate username. In the interim, I've sent this person a friend request on PSN.

 

[LineR32]

I'm in unless something comes up. Also got the Raptor sorted with a livery.

 

[Nick Cannella]

"Iffy" for Saturday. May be taking a day trip to Pittsburgh

On this site, Pokey's name is suprajef. He's a cool guy. He's from USA, but currently in Africa. He has been doing some racing while there, but the time difference is pretty big. 👍 Pigems knows him, too.

I added you to the list as a tentative.

Oh, cool. I appreciate you filling me in on that.

Tentatively yes for me.
