Anyone can pick any car they want in the next round then? So there could be 5 of the same car or did I read it wrong?
 
5 from each manufacturer, I will update the OP in the next 24 hour's, hopefully being a non DLC circuit we might have more people show up,

there will be numbered limit's if that's more specific,
 
I was thinking Laguna Seca, but it just maybe an original circuit, I'm going to pull something out of the hat that will hopefully make all car's equal,
 
just a question before I announce the circuit, what is the biggest strength of the Lexus? corner speed?
 
sorry guy's, I will announce when the OP is updated, but that wont be for another 12 hour's, time to ponder really hard over this, its going to be epic,
 
I would rather prefer real tracks like laguna seca...

Yes Lexus is good in traction, tyre consumption and stability
 
Laguna Seca or Grand Valley Speedway i say !!!!

Yea guys, Seca is a good track, i really like it aswell. But we are using stock GT500 and all at 502hp, so keep in mind that cars will definitely not be equal on tracks like Seca or Nurb F.
In my opinion, Suzuka is the most "neutral" track of GT5.
 
Was a good race till I got "kicked from the Server".
Went straight off after that.
Race till then was hard but ok me think.
Cam bumped me mid corner all the Time and that is the only thing I hate, because you go slightly off the line and go slower through the turn plus you have a different accel-point => all is screwed.
=> I got harsh in blocking him
=> he got probably mad at me and forced the pass a bit and we both didn´t backout of a fight.
=> we probably wracked our race in the first 10 laps we had.

==> Big apologie to Cam_from_NJ !!

After testing etc. I couldn´t believe that the Banzai Lexus is soo off pace. High 18´s for me.
Low 17´s in the ´01 auCerumo Supra with 487bhp

Sorry for not driving the Lexus but the Settings are totally the same as the Petronas and it should be exactly the same chassis but it´s heavily slower.
(Litchi said he done a 2:16 in the Banzai but your just a Beast of a driver and I´m just averagely fast ;))
 
Was really a great race very intense! Apart for a big mistake in my first pitstop (I got stucked in the pit entry like an idiot :lol:) I had a pretty decent race. A little bit alone in my 4th position... Great part of the race was when Litchi came out from his second pit behind me and I struggled to keep him behind :) we had a couple of laps on fire just before my last pit! That was awesome 👍
 
Did many more people get DC'd? I did about 4 times before the race started. Maybe it was the host as when i went to create my own room i had NAT type 2 and high bandwith, plus i joined and raced in several rooms straight after I left the race room.
 
I hope we go to seca imo, I would have 2 races there within 1 wk and that is always cool!

Sakery if you go to the new car dealership and look up the Lexus GT family you will notice that the Banzai & Eneos Lexus's are lvl 17 cars while the Denzo & Petronas chassis are lvl 18 cars. 👍

It's all good man. We were fighting hard with each other, and after all it is racing. All in good fun :)
 
I'm ok with it being run in someone elses room, Litchi had it this week, and may have it again next time if he decides to run, I hosted at motegi and we didn't have any connection issues, so next time we will try me hosting, if there is issues then we will try someone elses,

this being said everyone will need to be earlyish so we can work this out prior to the race start

oh and the OP is updated, let the accusations and hatred begin :lol:

The thing about cape ring is the flow. Just lacks it imo. Thats why I like the south layout. Good mix of slow medium and fast corners coupled with a long straight.
 
hence the circuit change, after I did some laps it seemed that 200-250KM there will be one long race, possibly minimum 2 hours, for 200KM add another 50KM that will take forever,
 
Thanks for hooking me up with the HSV , i havent really driven it yet but I know its a great car .

Cape Ring or Laguna ?
 
Laguna bud, I ran some laps at cape ring after I set it up and the race time duration was way to long, at 2.30s lap times at 250KM the race would take around 2.5-3 hours,

and the HSV, that's cool bud, I figured I needed to give a GTR a try and the Calsonic one was the only one I had, so it worked out for you,
 
Laguna yay, sign me up! - JoeTruckV8 @ Xanavi Nismo GTR'

I would of signed up for Cape Ring if everyone was going to still sign up for it, but I don't like the the big circle ring because it's to un-realistic. I usually do the layouts that leave that section out. Other than that it's a nice place to race!
 
Lagua Seca YEAH!!! Sign me up with the NISSAN MOTUL AUTECH GT-R '08 👍
