Gt500 t/p 1 last hurrah at suzuka! 3/1/2013 happy new year!

[freshseth83]

It was about a second slower than the other GTR's for me at Motegi. I guess I'm sticking with the Calsonic then since someone already claimed the yellowhat.

I'm the YellowHat bandit

 

[freshseth83]

I'm topping out at 270kmh at the end of the Kemmel straight. I need to get a better line through eua rogue so I don't lose much time through there.

 

[joetruckv8]

So if the the Lexus's suck in a straight line, then what are there upsides? I've never driven anything but the Xanavi's chassis in a nut shell.

 

[freshseth83]

I haven't driven the Lexus' in a while. Maybe I'll test them out when I get online in a little bit.

 

[gokartman78]

should be good for next tuesday 👍. haven't had a go in an NSX yet, might have a play in one of those this weekend

 

[Litchi]

Anyone up for some practice? If yes i open a lobby and post the number here

 

[southernpride20]

Im interested , what cars are left ill join looks fun

 

[TDZdave]

@Sakery, all the Nissan spots are taken mate, sorry,

@seth, thanks bud,

@Joe, I guess the chassis is easier to man handle? gippone seem's to like them

@litchi, noted mate,

 

[southernpride20]

So all cars with names by them are taken like they hsv aol that correct lol

 

[southernpride20]

FAI-HUN1209 honda epson

 

[joetruckv8]

So I'm just making sure we are going to start this 1hr earlier on Tuesdays? I can keep signing up every 2 wks if so. Especially if there going to be 250km in the future and so on?,...

 

[TDZdave]

@sothern, cool matey,

@Joe, correct mate,

all spot's at NISSAN and HONDA are filled, 3 spots left at LEXUS and 4 at TOYOTA,

 

[Johnnypenso]

I'll probably be out of town again on Race Date, but things are never really finalized for me until the last minute. If it looks like I can make it, I'll sign up as a reserve last minute. Looks like fun, so long as everyone can get through the first couple of corners.

I'm sure this won't be popular, but I'd suggest not allowing passing in the first corner barring a major cockup by someone running way wide or spinning, and single file starts. That'll spread the field out a bit before you get to Eau Rouge and only a complete would try to pass into Eau Rouge on the first lap, or any lap for that matter.

It is an Enduro after all, and that one little change at the start could make everyone have a much more enjoyable race.

 

[KingSakery]

I don´t want to use a Lexus or a Supra again.
=> How about the Nomad Diablo ??
I´ll reduce the power to 450bhp and add 100kg´s ??

I thought we have to switch the Cars every race (NSX full and GTR full).
By the way the Standard GTR have 498bhp after an Engine rebuild but not fully broken in.
Lap-time was ok-ish (2:18.8xx) but I think they are a bit too slow respectively only tweaking the settings can bring the Lap-Time down (or it´s just me xDDDD)

You can't add ballast when the room is set to tuning prohibited

 

[KingSakery]

Thanks so I´ll reduce the power to 60% ??
Well probably I´ll take the auCerumo Supra (looks so nice) just for the fun of it
If the Supra´s are full I´ll take the Bandai Lexus

 

[TDZdave]

@JP, I'm re_thinking the start for Spa, particularly where to start the race, I'm not worried if people need to cut Eau rouge to keep things clean in a side by side battle, as long as the replay doesn't show people using it as their racing line or diving for that bit of tar to gain, I know what sort of time gain can be made and I won't allow it, once a penalty has been sorted out for it I will post it on the OP, not that I expect to need it, my biggest turn of concern is turn 5, people moving everywhere in draft's etc, I'm going to spend some time on the track this weekend to see if there is a better area to start the race, I'd like to start it on the GT start line, but that would be asking for disaster, and we had a 2 wide start at Motegi, it went 30 times better then I expected, but that changes race to race, It would be good to have you onboard JP,

@sakery, I will sign you up in the BANDAI, you ran the supra this week,

We (PURE) are used to do double file rolling starts on the GT start line (under the TOTAL sign, just before Eau Rouge). This avoids disaster at La Source (turn 1). 👍

And feel free to read our PURE IPO, i think that some points in this IPO are pretty useful

 

[Spazmaticality]

I think there is plenty of run off at La Source. There shouldn't be a problem unless a pelican don't know how to brake to take it tight enough and not go wide, crossing the paths of people on the outside.

Practice room open: 1472 6399 8365 2930 5714

EDIT: Closed

Hit a 2.14.6. Dunno what i can do with ABS on but i don't want to know, i'm certainly slower with

[chrisjohnson93]

[gippone]

Some pictures with Litchi

 

[Litchi]

By the way, I noticed you hit an awesome 2.14.1 in your 3rd lap... 👍

 

[freshseth83]

The NSX is definitely faster here. Getting high 2:14's low 2:15's with it compared to my times of low 2:16's high 2:15's with the GTR's.

 

[Litchi]

i was 2.14.9 in a GTR when i tested yesterday so this is pretty close to my PB with the NSX.

Of course, NSX are faster in the straights. But they are harder do handle and NSX users have to be careful on the tire-wear. I never paid attention to my tirewear when i was in the GTR at Motegi, i could push hard every laps until i pit without the risk of any spin. This is not the same story in an NSX...

its what would be turn 5 that I'm worried about, 16 cars getting a flat out run through Eau Rouge and down the straight, most people from 8th back will be topped out and brake at their usual point, causing chaos,

I think there is plenty of run off at La Source. There shouldn't be a problem unless a pelican don't know how to brake to take it tight enough and not go wide, crossing the paths of people on the outside.

There is plenty, but the new update has made astro turf''s almost undriveable, I'm worried that someone will touch it and spin,

I honestly thought that the NSX's would have struggled more with tires at Motegi,

 

[freshseth83]

I feathered the throttle around Motegi. I knew I was going to do 2 stops once I spun, so I tried my best not to wear the tires in the 2nd stint.

I noticed just now that I did it!! Pretty awesome lap!! I was worried to look in the rear view mirror for you 👍
