GTMSA Presents: VW Golf IV Cup Season 2 - Preseason Discussion

[FunkMuffin]

I will be there shortly, what is the HP after you break your car in?

Mine's only made it as far as 201hp so far.

 

[toyotsupra]

Got DC damn that could have been a good battle

 

[FunkMuffin]

LancerEvo -- What is the policy on late-lap disconnects? I dc'd in lap 26 or 27 in 7th place. I'd hate to have 47 minutes of racing go totally to waste.

 

[Techy]

I had a bit of problems with the car, but I think that was just the FF layout. My first time in an FF car so I'm new to it, but I'll improve on it more and more as I go through the races 👍 Also, apologize for a bit of a wreck there on the first corner on the first lap. I'm pretty terrible after a standing start

[bdubclub]

I know I started the race first, but paul had a faster time than me. Not sure why it started him last.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I thought that too. I just wrote what was in the live timing monitor.

How many points do I get for DC? And maybe next time you should host in a free room instead of a lounge as it might help with connections. Oh and great work for the standings 👍

 

[LancerEvo7]

Since you were disconnected first, you got points for 10th place, which is 12 points.

 

[paulmac2k9]

my net 🤬 itself and yeah that was ****ed up i had fastest time but started last but i never moaned i just had to get on with it that crash 1st corner made my life easier in trying to get nearer to where i should have started but then i couldnt break the annoying draft and a few mistakes caused me/us to lose the top 3 oh well i can drop a race i guess so that was it still 👎 on my net fail

 

[Techy]

By the way, you can only tune the LSD, nothing else (i.e. Aerodynamics)?

 

[LancerEvo7]

You can tune everything to your liking.

 

[Techy]

You can tune everything to your liking.

Oh. I thought you could only tune the LSD, as one of the parts on the Required Components only had that. Now I can experiment on the suspension

 

[TJC_69]

Hey Guys

Any spare slots left in your series ?
#80- TJC_69 (PSN - TJ_McBigCack ) - ENG - Tor Red



* Edit * I've arranged to take part in another series so I won't have time now.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Lancer i ran in my Golf last night while i slept and its maxed at 203Bhp and 446PP so now atleast we can set regs in the rooms

Hi Rocko. Surprising to see you here.

Hi Rocko. Surprising to see you here.

Oh hai
I love the Golf RM for it's cup-car looks, had to buy another because my old one was too modded

 

[FunkMuffin]

Did a little research, and it seems to me that we might have better luck with disconnects if we disable voice chat for the races.

Could we consider disabling it for future races so that we don't continue to have 3, 4, 5 guys booted each week?

 

[velly]

hey guys, i was reading thread as i used to run a Golf RM championship...i agree with the above that no head sets helps..

Also we reset our routers before logging on.
clear cashe (options, network options)
this also helps

If you get getting poeple booted from your room maybe jump to someone else lounge.
The other thing is people cant get in, try changing the tracks, this also resets your lounge.

back to racing,
the golfs are great, understeer abit (we ran them fully modded on RH)

keep upi the good work

And also have a open lobby this might help too instead of a private one.

It shall be fun battling you

 

[FunkMuffin]

Turns out I'm going to miss tomorrow's race due to some family stuff. See you next week!

 

[toyotsupra]

Bring on the race tomorrow hopefully won't get DC again

 

[Ruta]

Hey, sorry for not being able to post here for a while. I had to move on the weekend of the 10th, and while the good news is I'm in a much better apartment with a much better landlord, that bad news is that I'm unsure as to when I'll have internet capability in my apartment. Need to figure out whether I want Comcast Xfinity (I used to have Comcast and am very wary of its weird pings) or if I ought to just wait till October when I might be able to get Verizon FIOS. Either way, I won't have PSN access this weekend. Hope the racing goes well!

 

[LancerEvo7]

No problem, man. Looking forward to having you

 

[toyotsupra]

Someone get a room open need to practice

 

[Techy]

Someone get a room open need to practice

I could open one up..

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'll open the room early for practice, but if someone wants to make a room, go ahead, just post the room number if you do it in a public room.
