Grand Am 85 Laps of Daytona!- Finished, Thanks All!

[starbutt033]

Hate to be critical, but, Grand Am with street cars?? Bad handling, little down-force, inferior performance; racecars are just better handling cars overall, its a shame this game is missing such important grass-root racecars such as the Lotus, Aston Martin, RX-8, & the Italia, so I understand why you went with the street, but just saying there is a big difference in car handling, goodluck sounds like a fun series, in free time feel free to race with us 1-2 hr enduro races on fri, sat, & sundays, GT series... & such starfire/mach5 enduro series racing.... psn starbutt33

I hear you bro. A bunch of us struggled with that idea, and tried to bring in the Audi LMS as the RWD. Sadly, it kicked all the other production cars that we tried to make Grand-Am's butts. It is too bad that GT5 missed that one. Not to get into a debate, but Forza nailed that option perfect. But never the less, it should be fun here, for what it has to offer.

It has been fun for the first two seasons.

What is the point of you commenting in this thread if your just going to talk about how you dislike the way we run things, and then advertise your own endurance series?

He can't get people to join based on how he runs things, so to make himself feel better, he goes around saying everything else is bad because he doesn't have any good ideas.

But back on topic. I haven't gotten off the couch all day, I'm saving my energy (or lack there of) for Rolex.

This has been a successful series now for 2 years bro. Why have you come on here and basically talk down upon this series and GT5? What is your purpose? If we can make the GT class equal, competitive, and fun then why is it an issue about race cars or not?

 

[polarbear345]

I may be getting on within the next hour, anyone care to join me?

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Sorry i never got round to testing with any of you guys, it was the 5th round of the World Endurance championship today live from brazil. So that had my full attention!

No worries!

I don't think anyone practiced xD

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I'm getting about 1:52-1:53 with the Audi R8 5.2 with RH tires so far.

EDIT: 1:50.xxx-1:51.xxx with RM tires.

Im running pretty much exactly the same times with RM tyres as you in the Lotus. I think this will be a good race.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Star, our GT lap times perfectly reflect GT times from Grand-Am competition on Racing Medium tires. You're incorrect. Deal with it.

Can I join, I want to drive the Nissan.

I can do that assuming nothing comes up between now and then. I can test for a little while this afternoon. I'm playing golf after I get off of work(which is at the same golf course) then I will be able to test for roughly an hour or so.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

If anybody fancies testing now let me know and i'll join you.

 

[polarbear345]

The Ferrari WILL be slowed down, how much is TBD.
