Gran Turismo: Simulation Mode

[LineR32]

I took it out of the schedule altogether. I don’t think we’ve featured it since the truck event a while back, which is when we had those glitched starts.

Yeah, I was testing to check for stuff like that and to drum up some new racers.

Might want to limit some cars as well. Detuned cars (N500-N400) seem to be too over powered compared to tuned up (N300-N400) cars.

The 911 GT3 (991) was 3-4 seconds a lap faster than my R32 GTR at Autopolis.

Unless I’m drunk later, I’ll try to narrow it down to just a few N400 cars.

 

[Drummer79]

I would like to use a Lexus down tuned to 400

 

[Satomiblood]

Happy New Year, everyone. Real Circuit Tours will now be a one-make event featuring the Ferrari F40. The car costs 450,000 credits in case any of you are currently without one. Hardly a grind if you’re low on funds.

@Drummer79, I’ll feature a Lexus event in the coming weeks.

 

[LineR32]

Happy new year!

Thanks for hosting this event @Satomiblood! Here are some shots:

I'm going to be taking a hiatus from lobby hosting the next few weeks. I have some things that'll likely be tying up my free time, but I should resume the lobby once things subside. I'll tag everyone again once I'm ready to return. Thank you for your continued support and dedication.

 

[TurboTacho]

No problem for that. You should have your well-deserved break.

Meanwhile I'm just enjoying my week-long break from work and catching up to everything I can, and also enjoying this special day here.

Enjoy the break man. I'll be ready to support you more often when you return.

Hey, everyone. Sorry for the delay. My wife and I recently closed on a house, so I’m now ready to start hosting the lobby again. Let’s try reuniting next weekend with American Muscle. I’ll need to switch the meeting day to Sundays at the usual time slot (9:00-11:00 A.M. U.S. EST) for the next 2 months (tax season). Let me know your thoughts on this.

First and foremost congrats on the new house man, very exciting! Sunday’s at 9am work for me

 

[Drummer79]

Sunday is good with me! Congratulations on the new house.

 

[TurboTacho]

Great to see you back again! Congrats on the new house.

Sunday may be viable for me, though I may have to miss several sessions in the coming months.

 

[Satomiblood]

Thanks, everyone.

 

[Nick Cannella]

What happened today, i thought there were going to be races?

 

[Satomiblood]

What happened today, i thought there were going to be races?

Oh, I have it scheduled for next Sunday. Figured getting something worked out for today would’ve been too short notice.

 

[Nick Cannella]

Ah ok. I miss read then. Ok. I’ll be there!

 

[TurboTacho]

I've seen my schedule. Tentatively yes, but may not be able to participate in all races.

 

[Satomiblood]

I've got you both down.

 

[Satomiblood]

I removed the Big Willow race from American Muscle and added it to Codename: Viper. There are going to be some drivetrain events in the pipeline as well (FF Challenge, 4WD Challenge, etc.).

Also, the Group C Classics Cup isn't dead. We just need to iron out a date/time that works for everyone.

Mid-week call-outs for American Muscle on Sunday:

@LineR32 @Pigems @sturk0167 @Nuschel01

If I missed anyone, or if you want to invite a friend, feel free to tag me and I'll add them to the sign-up sheet.

 

[Satomiblood]

Is it too late to lift the max HP for American Muscle? I feel that the Challenger and Super Bee are getting a raw deal since they'd be getting a sizeable HP nerf. I could set it to 425-450 instead.

Nah man, I think you should do it, if it will facilitate closer racing.

Nah man, I think you should do it, if it will facilitate closer racing.

Actually, I think it's just the Challenger that would have to nerf its HP value.

I probably won't be awake when your race starts. If you're still going once I'm up, I'll join in. 👍

 

[Satomiblood]

I've updated the max HP to 425.

 

[Drummer79]

If I can roll my butt out of bed, I will be there.

I've added the following to the Upcoming Events section in post #2 (see spoiler dropdowns below). 86 & BRZ Festival+ is pretty self-explanatory. With FF Challenge and other drivetrain events, the formats will feature a limited pool of cars. For this particular one, I wanted to limit the number of hatchbacks to avoid turning it into a World Hatchback Championship or Clio Cup. Let me know your thoughts.
