Not a problem. There are no points for the preseason race, points start next week. So in that respect, you'll be fine.

Gotta feeling the Mazda touring car could be right up there.
I haven't ran any test laps with my sirraco yet but anyone know how it handles? Turns? Speed?
Afterall I'm glad their is a pre season race tonight to get a general feel for my car tonight 👍
And as it says no adjusting toe angle and camber if I remember are we allowed to tune, trany, other parts in the suspension? LSD?

I ran the VW on my preliminary tests. If I was still on a FWD rant I would probably be closing that or the CRZ. The car has balls, but my tuning or lack there of does not suit the VW.
The Miata is the first RWD car that I have used in GT6 more then what is needed to complete some of the races, been staying away from them for some odd reason.

I've spent some time in the VW, but I've completely screwed the tuning on it and never got it back. On mine, the back end breaks pretty easily, depending on the track. I think it's better than I have it set up, though. It's still a great car, but I found that the CRZ is a little more consistent, and that suits my driving style a little more. Even though the Hondas have massive understeer problems.
And as I recall, camber is adjustable on the VW, but not toe angle. Toe and camber are completely fixed on the Toyota... for some reason, I really can't imagine why. But everything else is able to be tuned.
The race in Madrid will be interesting, there's a good mix of slow, tight sections where the slower, more nimble cars come into their own, and long straights where the faster cars have the advantage. Should be a good one!

I can't either. I drove my BMW last night. Best I could do was 1:28. Oh well. Should be fun.

I have a room up if any one wants to warm up before we race. Title is "GTTCS warm up"

Not all my best sector times. I put it together with the +/- of each sector when running hot laps. I see a good 2 seconds I can take off of my best lap. I come to a theoretical time of being able to run consistently and cleanly.
I would be comfortable to say that if I had a good 500 to 1000 miles to run on Madrid I would hope to be logging 1:23s.

Thank you very much to everyone who made it out tonight! The racing was good, and I think it's fair to say that we learned a lot, but there are some kinks that need to be ironed out.
Another lounge will be up tomorrow (Friday) night, 11:30pm EST to work on some things. If you can make it out, please do!

What a night of racing. "I'll Owe You Won Racing" had a strong standing with a 3rd place podium followed by a 4th place finish. A few nicks and bumps occurred during both races tonight. There was even word that we made our own Auto Cross course on the Second Straight down Madrid Avenue with a Lotus Elise.
First race boiled down to tire wear and usage. Ozwheels3 took the Checkered in the BMW "Mo You Sports" 320i Touring Car. Timeee11 Took Second with Honda "Casper The Friendly Integra" Touring Car. Following after the "I'll Owe You Won Racing" Miata took Third wanting 3 to 4 more laps to catch Casper.
The Start of the second race with reverse order grid started off great. The Miatas and BMWs with their Rear wheel drive launch advantage took over the field. "By Turn 2 "I'll Owe You Won Racing" was right behind Jay2DaB329 "Rapper's Delightful" Miata in 2nd Place. WanganGhost over cooked turn 1 cause the first of many incidents in the first lap. A lot of damage to competitors cars occurred, included but not limited to front suspension, engines and egos. A mysterious act of PD placed Elchinox2's "Road Blocking Corner Hugging Red Rocket" Elise in the middle of the second straight totally perpendicular to the wall. PD decided that we had too much top end for the speed limit that Spain has placed on that road and wanted a mini Auto Cross course for shi...zzz and giggles. The second half of the field got crossed up in this and word has it someone might had pissed oneself over it...
Second Race results, Ozwheels3 took Checker again with BMW "Mo You Sports" 320i Touring Car. Timeee11 again was the first loser with Factory back Honda "Casper The Friendly Integra" Touring Car. Ares118785 with Honda "A Cook Tire Orange" Integra Touring Car took second losers place.
We learned that the Integra was the champ of straight line speed.
The Miata holds out on Tire Wear and nimbleness
The BMWs are the arch nemesis of Honda
Oh and hybrids are for Wankers better known as team Honda "I Love Dandelions" CRZ :-) (sorry for the low blow Flip).
Great Racing tonight everyone, hope no one minds my low blows and sarcasm. On to the Pics and stuff.

Now to the Serious stuff. A couple thoughts on how to balance out the field a little.
We could do something like they do in the old World Speed Challenge, or the JGTC along with other series. Add a weight penalty to 1st 2nd and 3rd place finishers.
Like for first place finish add 25kg, for second place add 15 kg and for third add 10kg, per race. that is just a thought, I feel it would add a new dynamic to the series versus doing what would seem normal with just restricting power. No reason you can't do both.

That's actually one of the things I don't understand, it doesn't appear to act like a hybrid it did in GT5. No battery meter in this one, and the fuel just drops immediately. It appears to be a normal car.
And I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of success ballast between races (I believe the WTCC does actually do this), but I would like to tighten up the regs on the cars before we think about that.

Yeah, I figured a colored commentary would suit fine after the last race. It is only the first season so there is a lot of ironing out
