Ooohh, that looked interesting, do let us know if it's any good, haven't played a good street bike game since Tourist Trophy.

 

[CptMadBean]

I miss Tourist Trophy to, best ps2 game ever

So that everyone knows what is going on, the decision has been taken to switch Grand Valley East to Reverse in order to avoid problems arising from hitting the wall which sticks out in turn 4.

Autumn Ring Mini has been changed to Autumn Ring Full as well as Mini is too short and was going to cause issues.

We are getting pretty close to having the track choices nailed down, I am going to say that the deadline for new signups to have a vote will be the Friday before the season starts (03/04/2015).

I will be online tonight so if people want to run an endurance test please let me know

 

[glenn88]

include some night races please...

 

[Pamellaaa]

include some night races please...

I may be wrong but from memory I don't think any of the current track selections support this?

Also we did test this at Willow a couple of weeks back and the headlights on 3 of the 4 cars were like candles in jam jars, unless this is track specific then it might prove impossible to do night racing I am afraid.

I will get the lobby open around 6:45, few min Q at 7 and then a 1 hour race. Tyre wear will be on very fast and draft will be on "weak" to give us another opinion of it.

Because I want to test the draft on a track without such a long straight I am thinking Nurburgring GP/D but I am open to other ideas if people would prefer something else.

Edit, just remembered the back straight at Nurb is pretty lengthy, maybe Laguna Seca?

im thinking laguna or autumn ring

Either work for me, I'm not fussy.

 

[Mikey24]

I'm up for it. 👍

 

[Ian_83]

I'll be running a little late. I may also need to set the car up a little too, if I'm not there soon enough start without me, I don't want to hold you up.

 

[Ian_83]

V.fast wear could be interesting. Tyre wear will be crazy, loads of pit stops required tonight. Got to give other ideas a shot. 👍

Well my thinking is that it might mean we have some people 3 stopping and going SM SM SM SS and others 4 stopping but looking at SS SS SS SS SM or something similar to that. 4 stops in 60 mins is a lot but not like its everyother lap or something.

We will see how it works

 

[Pamellaaa]

Room is up

 

[Drex124]

Don't count on me, running in a different club that would start before you'd finish.

 

[Ian_83]

Good race tonight. Lobby ran well , shame about the lack of people but it we only a test at fairly short notice. 👍

Yep, well done on your win. I know I should keep this sort of information to myself and my team but a small hint for everyone: Don't run out of fuel!

Anyway, I was pretty happy with the settings. Draft worked much better on a track without a gigantic straight and the tyre wear made strategy interesting without being excessive!

Edit: realised I wont be able to attend any of the races; not joining

That's a shame. Mondays any good for the endurance series or is it the times that are the problem?

It's the fact that I'm American and I'll be in school when the races occur.

Maybe if you see which other championships the competitors are in, you could find a time on Saturdays/Sundays

Unfortunately weekends don't work for me really, I am usually playing golf or have other stuff going on, I want this to be a weeknight series.

Then I can't join, sadly. Maybe you could get someone to host an American SJTCC for us who are unable to join.

Now that is a shame

I am open to suggestions about where to race, I am pretty happy with the settings and the car balancing so maybe we will do 3 different tracks that we haven't had much running on?

I have no problem with car switching during testing, you will be locked into the first car you race in when the season starts though.

Yeah I know I'll be locked in, I like one track so I can test the 3 cars and also sort of be quick.
I need to test a track to know it sort of thing, or I be driving your lines and there never that good lol.

I'm liking my new PS4 game Ride.
I really don't think it's as good as TT was on the ps2, but I never like new things to start with.
In game stuff a little like gt, I guess but tracks hmm I think look a little funny.
And there seems a lot of made up tracks, I like real tracks a little more.
Anyway it's not a bad buy, still need to see what it's like online and I still got a lot to see in the game.

Little vid got all the aids on pro, but ride AI med
