Haven't been able to catch up with Wauk-azoo and the Geezers last couple days. Miss them. Anyway, we did have fun on Friday running 540pp on SS tires.
Just for giggles
we tried the Toyota TSO30 Hybrid at Silver stone International Circuit and HOLY COW that that little LMP is EZ to drive and OHH SO QUICK running mid to low 1:03's ! I use the Driving Force wheel and some of the guys have the G27. Can't say if anyone using a controller was running this car.
Geezers,, if you don't have this car yet,, go get one! Yes, @ 2M credits it's a little spendy but a 20 to 25 minute investment at the Red Bull Standard challenge will net you about 2.4M so it's not a big deal. Do the oil change and any options the shop offers (I don't remember what's available) and you'll be at 623pp / 556hp. I believe it's a good idea to save one of the settings sheets (I use the C sheet) at DEFAULT / AS PURCHASED, then move to another sheet for your tunes. The 10kg I added dropped the pp to 622.
For those of you who don't already have one here's a tune that works pretty good - for me 👍:
Brakes - 3/3,
RH - 61/61,
SR - 16.80/17.90,
Dampers Comp - 2/2, Ext - 3/3, Roll - 4/4,
Camber - 0.8/0.7, Toe - -0.38/ +0.11,
LSD: 18/10/17,
Downforce - 440/650, Ballast - 10kg @ "0" position holding the 50/50 F/R weight distribution.
Do the trans flip - Set FG @ 5.00, Max Speed @ 199, 1st @ 3.580, 2nd @ 2.397, 3rd @ 1.765, 4th @ 1.355, 5th @ 1.087, 6th @ 0.950.
To drop to the 540pp we ran last Friday the power limiter was set at 53.5%.
Good luck you 'ol pfarts
... I can say that 'cause I'm proud to be one of YOU at 67 yrs young

Being a Geezer, I have a certain fascination with cars from a bygone era. Not that I necessarily actually like them, it's just a morbid fascination.
Enter the VW 1200 out of 1966. Not one of history's finest, but a blast from the past. Well, maybe not actually a "blast".
In the early 1960s, the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority was overseeing some engineering works in Australia's version of "high country". The winters are bitter, the roads unsealed, so their wheels of choice were these VW Beetles. No coolant to freeze was the story. Snap oversteer was never mentioned in the brochure so it wasn't a problem.
Just for giggles, I tried it on the Eiger Nordwand - K Trail. Stock standard of course, apart from having Dirt Tires.
Lap one saw me wondering if this little fellow was going to make it as the speed moved south of 15mph approaching the highest part of the trail. I'm pleased to say I never saw a speed less than 13mph, so it did make it and set a lap time a shade under seven minutes.
It's kind of fun, especially the downhill part where I was seeing 86mph and hearing over 4,000rpm.
I actually recommend this experience and it may even make for a fun online race experience.
Here is an excerpt from my second clean lap, which did NOT compare well with my best.

Thanks for posting the tune for the TSO30, Daduce.
I bought one, can't wait to try it out. It was the go to car for quite a few tracks that night. We'll see you on the track soon, going to try to have one open this afternoon about 2 eastern time.Great photos of the Eiger race Old Geezer, that was some of best racing of the night. For such a narrow twisty track being able to race clean and three wide was awesome. 👍
We definitely have to run that track again today.
@GBO Possum, Watching that vw spinning down the hill was great. I've got to try that track with the vw. With or without a set up and tune that looks like it would make for a fun geezer race.

Hello Geezers. Another apology. I was wondering how it was that you guys hooked up so well, and then I found that I have a message inbox on my PS3 full of GeezerGrams inviting me to race.
You must think I'm so rude, whereas I'm just iggerant. I think I have it figured out, so I expect to arrive in your rooms more often. At the back. No Geezer Left Behind.

Nice photos PapaGnr. And it was another great afternoon of racing.
I managed to get a couple shots of us playing in that sandbox also.
Three wide in the dirt? Thats some really nice driving there guys!
I got mail from one ghost friend Bic44 (37) mail goes :
Racing
Good morning. I was just reading the GTP forums and noticed that You (mots63) are member of the geezer club.
UnfortunatelyI am not old enough yet (37) but I noticed You sometimes race in public rooms and allow wannabe
Geezers to help fill out the grid. I would love to join You sometimes, so if You need more people for a race some night
Let me know, allthough I don't think I'll be keeping up with either of You.
Regards
Mark

Hi guys. The last couple of days of online racing the discussion turned to ideas that would add to our online racing. One thing we all seem to enjoy is one make races. Problem is there are only 28 cars to choose from and 8 of those are go karts. Some are good, others..... not so much.
We can expand the car choices using our garage if we all own some of the same cars when we race.
The Alpine A110 is a car we've used to do a one make from our garages. It worked well and was a fun drive. The Senna 1983 WSR is a blast. Not to mention running laps around London in the 1985 Peugeot 205 turbo. Many of us have the anniversary cars we could use but with so many affordable cars in the game why limit ourselves.
I can think of a couple reasonably priced, under 100,000?, Under 200,000 ? fun to drive cars.
Rocket - 100,000 - I think we all won one of these.
Subaru vs Mitsubishi - 30,000 to 50,000.
Chevy 1969 Camaro race car - 175,000. Handles shorter tracks well without any tuning. I just ran Eiger with laps in the mid1:06's on sports softs.
There's so many in the dealership that may work but I haven't driven them in gt6.
If anyone could suggest cars they have or might be good canadates it would be a great help.
One last thing, don't forget to clear you cache.

Hi yall! I just discovered the Geezers. I'm over 65 and retired. My son got me to get interested in GT5 a couple of years ago after being to busy for the series after GT3. I moved on to GT6 and you'll find me in the GT6 Epic Whining and Crying thread. All of the friends we use to race with in GT5 lost interest after they got GT6.
Anyway, I'm "Qship" and yall should be old enough to know what a WW2 Q-ship was. (kinda like a German Raider but not as successful)
I picked up Qship from having a Sooped-up '04 Subaru Forester XT. Its doing STI kinda power and very few people in San Antonio know what it is. They think it's just another Toyota with a fake hood scoop. Anyway an old man in a old SUV doesn't get much attention from the boys in blue.
I like running the 450-550PP cars against the 600+ AI cars. The only way most of the seasonal events are fun for me is to get Gold in a slower standard car that I've tuned. I look forward to running with you sometime. And yes, I know where the 2J and the other Chaparrals live.

There's a lot of Mazda Miatas, Honda S2000, Honda Civics. BMW Minis, VW Beetles, just to name a few. Most of us have a large enough bank account to be able to buy just about any car. We can do what a guy did in GT5, running races called "Rubbish racing". We'd meet in his lounge, decide on a particular car, or price range with a PP limit & then go out & buy one, paint & tune it & rejoin his lounge & race. It was a little time consuming but fun to see what the others bought. Or Wauk, you could make up a car list & post it to us before the races. Either way, fun will be had by all. 👍
That is good idea to have more common car even race models, but I don't mean Chapparal, Toyota ja Audi Le Mans cars
with super soft tires. We all can have one favorite, which would be included in the races sometimes.
In most cases when I see that car what I'm driving is 10-15 sec slower than top time and laps have good, so then it car change in garage.
Wauk last evening when I game to lounge You we driving with Renault Gordini it was really impressing to see Your handling!
See You. And I will clear my cache.

We are raceing online most days from around noon Eastern Standard time ill our wives start yelling "Your dinner, is gettting cold." Send me a freinds request and I message you if I see you on when we are racing.
@mots63 . Thanks mots I do like the Gordini maybe we should add it to the one make race's also.
We ran some of the cars Old Geezer suggested and a few others today. We looked for ones that were fun to drive and ran well with no tuning or added parts. Here are some we found provided some pretty close racing. You may want to add all or some of these to your garage if you would like to run some one make race's as well as the regular pp limit race's.
We did change the oil and had no tire restrictions although we ended up using sport softs on most cars.
Ferrari Dino 246 GT '71 -
Ferrari 512 BB '76 -
Renault Sport Clio V6 Trophy 24V '00 -
Suzuki Cappuccino (EA21R) Race car '95 -
Honda Fit RS '10 -
Jaguar E Type Coupe '61 -
Shelby Datona Coupe '64 or Shelby Datona Coupe 15th Anniversary and the Ferrari 250 GTO '62 all run almost identical lap times and handles much the same. If any has the 250 GTO it runs well with the Shelby Datona.
Alpine A110 1600S '72 or Alipine A110 1600S 15th Anniversary
Some of the cars we use for one make race's with tuning allowed around 540pp plus or minus.
Toyota TSO30 Hybrid '12.
Ayrton Senna WRS '83
Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 '85.

I would like to follow You , will be 68 next week or birth year 46, but I don't mind useing something else.Seeing as PD have given us the opportunity to number a lot of our cars, 👍 I'm wondering what number you all will use ? I'll use 66 for now, until my birthday, & then it'll be 67. (my current age)
