GTP FIAGT3 Series - S2 - Rnd 5 Deep Forest Sat. Aug 27 @ 5:00PM PST

[adeadsnipermatt]

I don't recall the Lexus,Nissan,Lotus or the RUF being in the GT3 series either though..And dosen't seem too unfeasible,just might be down on power.
If not I would be keen to try the R8,Gallardo,M3 or 458 for next season.
Just noticed that the Aston's are 4 and 5 in the series,not bad for a mid season debut!

RUF is a substitute for Porshe.
The LFA and GTR is in the FIA GT1 class.
The Evora Type 124 is in the GT3 class(I think).

Also I think we were shooting for more variety this season. Yes we had a closer competition last season but remember we tested the cars more when we started the exhibition race. We didn't test the Lambo as severely as 430 due to lack of interest.

When JJcollections came out of nowhere for roam last season in the Lambo I was not worried about him racing the Lambo because Reg required to run 5 downforce. Still he broke a record at that track showed the dominate force the Lambo possesses. Now this season the Lambo is at the same power 535hp 1250kg but this time allowed to run with full downforce. We knew this season or car would e much faster. And the time show it at Tokyo. We are in Avg 3-4 seconds faster. But the Audi is also running similar regs this season but last season the Audi was running 1:43's at Tokyo as a best possible lap. The Ford GT got a huge nerf with the weigh it received. even tho last season they were fast but still not fast enough to dominate the series.

Also there is a forum dedicated to the tires flaw in this game GTboss you were concerned about cars with wider tires being more dominate. GT5 does not take tire width into consideration. So lateral grip is the same between car just some car have a better chassis.

Damn iPhone.

I woefully doubt I can break into the 41's at all. I'm stuck at a 43.1. Haven't got to practicing today though.

 

[phil bell]

Did anyone run the Aston's or M3 last season though? If so I'd be curious to know how they compare. I am more keen to try a mid engined car now that's for sure. And might be practicing soon see how it goes.And not concerned about tire width affecting pace but overall balance.That said the "reverse tune" might fix that.

So you're saying the Audi in theory cannot best a 1.43?
And how much/what "nerfing" did the GT get?

GT-R is currently under testing for FIAGT3 specs. The LFA races under the SP9 regs, which is close to GT3. Evora races under British GT Championship. And of course the RUF is heavily modified Porsche GT3.

The NSX-R is low on power, somewhere in the 400's, but it's weight can be extremely low, down closer to 1,000kg.

Some other candidates would be the Alfa the Camaro and even the RX-8. But even with the current line-up we have cars that haven't even been represented yet, such as the McLaren.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't made races but I'd like to invite some GT3 cars along to a BPR GT GT1/GT2 race this Saturday at:
1am Aus EST
11am US EST (the US Saturday, work the times in around this)
4pm Britain ST
We've got a few already in the series but it'd be fun to mix in some extra cars as it'll just be a test race at the Nurb GP/F track, about 30 odd laps.

 

[NEPALII]

Got to 1.42.0!! Getting better, but still far from 1.40.9. Honestly, I have no freaking idea how is that lap possible. Btw, it says on the thread title "Round 4 Tokyo on August 16". August 16 was yesterday, and the race is on Saturday! Unless you guys raced without me yesterday :0 lol

To be fair, neither do I! The nearest I've got since has been a 1:41.0, which was on the edge. Though I'm glad you've yet to break 1:42 yet...

Corrected.

When I say nerf it's coming from my fighting game back ground. Nerfing meaning making something perform worst than it already is doing.

And yes the Audi has a problem here in Tokyo I don't know about other tracks but here is an issue.

Some little tweaks needed, and i will break into 41's... Now low 41's is gonna be really really hard.

I know I say this nearly every week but I will almost defiantly not be able to race this week.Which is a shame as I can match the times of the middle runners.

You've said this every week since the season started, so all I'm gonna say to you is see you on Saturday pal

What can I say,I have a busy schedule.Either that or I am indecisive about my arrangements.

 

[Taiga]

Broke into the 1:41's! Figured I needed more stability at the high speed corners, so I tweaked the anti-roll and voila! A 1:41.8!

Mont,I think we may have another alien in our series.
That's a good time,man.Sadly Im doing exam papers to revise and out searching for lecturers the whole day so missed it.
Going to hop in the M3 to bust some stress.

No worries bro I haven't had time to practice since Tuesday(or wednesday...). Maybe we can practice later today as I'm busy right now and won't be on for a few hours.

 

[phil bell]

Wish I could but got an exam tomorrow,gonna get some rest.Hopefully we can do well come race day.

Will be around tomorrow if anyone fancies a practice

What time?

 

[The Widowmaker]

What time?

Probably around 3pm English time (about twelve hours and forty five minutes time)

 

[phil bell]

I might be able to make it.

 

[phil bell]

My game says your lounge is empty..
And dude the practice tips have helped,Im more consistent lap to lap now.
Have been practicing in a Civic R EK9 and surprisingly that has helped with other cars.

 

[The Widowmaker]

Widow's lounge is now open...

 

[phil bell]

Man Widow you've just secured your alien status!
We raced GT500 cars in rome today,he was in a Nismo Z,I was in a Castrol Supra and after 3 laps a 5 second margin opened up!
On the happier note I got my time in the Aston down to a 1.42.2.

 

[The Widowmaker]

You've just secured your alien status!

You've no idea how happy this makes me.

 

[Taiga]

Practice room's up in Phil's lounge.

 

[phil bell]

Closed,have to find a way to get rid of my Aston's understeer on exit,nothing seems to work!
