Interesting report there austin, I will (on what your saying) keep with the GT-R but leave my GT300 choice for some testing, The ASL wasnt to my driving style, but i will be pitting the MR-2 against the RX-7. Am loving the turnout, its gonna be a good one.

Oscar.
 
I'll post a summary of the results of my testing.

Although I still won't use them, my testing revealed the RX-7 LM and Pitwork Z as still being too fast. :indiff: I may have simply gotten better laps with them than I did with the NSXes or the GT-R, but they were significantly faster than any of those. In contrast, the Supras were really slow, and definitely not competitive with the rest of the cars. But again, maybe I just didn't spend enough time on them and got a poor result because of that. The GT-R is definitely being solidified as my choice, though, because it will probably be better in a long race than either NSX would be. The Takata NSX is definitely starting to look worse the longer I test it.

In GT300, the MR-S and the Garaiya are very close; I thought that the necessity of short-shifting the MR-S might have escaped the testers, making it too fast. I think that consistency will come more easily in the Garaiya, though, and it's nicer to drive, so I'll stick to it. The S2000 just didn't seem on par with either one, and the RX-7 was closer, but still significantly off. While the Subaru and the Celica had nice handling, they seemed not to do very well at high speeds compared to the MR-S and Garaiya.

I think it depends where you are driving the cars. For GT500 the Pitwork Z was the fastest so i whacked 10% extra weight on to slow it down. I actually found the RX-7 to be the slowest car when i drove it so it got a bit more power, all the GT-Rs middled nicely etc. The other thing to consider is whether the car suits your driving or not (i find the NSX's skittish and the RX-7 seemed fast but never seemed to go anywhere!) For the GT300s i also struggled with the S2000 but did get it to do a competitive lap eventually (just doesn't suit my driving). The Subaru's advantage is under breaking with slightly more understeer around fast corners than some of the other cars. The Celica really goes well with my style but was really quick hence a bit less power than last year (the low weight is so it can have the maximum +6% weight penalty added).

The main point i'm making is that this is how i found the cars to be - do your own testing cos you probably will disagree. It's also worth pointing out that numbers were also jigged to compensate for oldmodelt's data.

Did some preliminary testing for JGTC300s at Trial Mountain on the current settings (under Sprint Race rules with a +2 a.i. field). The dominant cars seem to be the ASL and the MR-S, with a competitive time being in the 7:20-7:30 range (for the race). The S2000 seems to need a bit more power.

Averaging the weight and HP that is advised for every car may help but, some cars deserve the extra whack of 10% weight. Cars like the Mobil NSX and the Pitwork 350Z deserve the weight penalty also the ASL and the MR-2 might need some sort of penalty also.
 
I think I'll give it a go.

Tested the S2000 it got around Trial Mountain with 7:30-7:45 with 5 Laps. It seems to need a bit more HP. AI on 8+

Who know? Maybe we will get to do something like this with GT5. At least with the AI they are somewhat consistent. Dumb but consistent.
 
People, enough of the "this car needs more power/less weight" already. If you don't like it use another one :P

Seriously, the testers found the cars to be pretty close, all of them. If we start adjusting one car i'll have to go and do all the others again!

I'll put a few T-car entries in as well if it's OK. I'll try to do what I can to get some quality time behind the wheel for each car. :)

Hi,

You can only enter one car per class. If you want these to be test cars let me know which is your prefered number for each class and i'll enter them in.

Cleared, added in some T cars.
 
No replay files, but I may need a photo to confirm any dubious times. However, odd times stick out a mile - usually people realise they've made a mistake in submission and all is cleared up.
 
Thats good, I can take pictures and short videos but cant do replay files.

How much laps?

As I understand. Each race will be 62km. Number of laps will be announced at the beginning of each race after the results of the 5 lap sprint at each track.
