Thanks for the heads-up @Stewyripper.

For those who are unaware, the Nissan & VW can be painted. 👍👍

We ran a few test laps at Riffelsee with the GTR & all I can say is BEWARE. This car shreds tires & hates the jump.

Just for giggles, Stewy & I raced his fully tuned powerhouse Life Step Van VS my untuned Mazda Demio Sport '10, for 12 laps at Riffelsee. The Demio has 1 gear, drive. Surprisingly, it was almost a photo finish.

Here's a few Photos of our cars handling the jump. Stewy's Honda barely gets air.

Whereas my Demio FLIES.

Hope we get another good turnout for the next session.

I've spent today searching for a Van tune but to no avail. Not being a tuner, I tried to create one anyway, and used it to win the Beginner's seasonal. Does anyone know if there is a published tune for the Honda Life Step Van out there somewhere? I'd like to compare, as I am sure mine can be improved. Thanks!

Geezers, what a day Saturday, i think everyone enjoyed it. Thanks go to all who took part and we had a full room at one point. Shame about old geezer and his connection problems maybe it will be better next time.
New events for this weekend are as follows

1/ Nissan concept 2020 vision gran turismo [STOCK] AT Matterhorn Riffelsee 12 laps.

2/Volkswagen super sport vision gran turismo [STOCK] at Ascari full track 10 laps.

3/Nissan gran turismo pace car [STOCK] at Tokyo r246 10 laps with a tyre compound change

Silly car event, will be the super powerful life step van from Honda and the Mazda Demio sport 10 still thinking about this one, waiting for evil thoughts to arrive

Evil thought has arrived, we will be using Honda life step vans or the Mazda demio sport 10 ,your choice.
One minor point there will be someone taking out everyone else in a much more powerful car, [any of the above] 1st person to volunteer gets the job.

Don't appear to have one of these unless it's the Gran Turismo 350Z RS. If it's not then where do I get one.

Go to Nissan and buy the pace car comes with flashing lights as well.

 

[Stewyripper]

Geezers i will be opening a room this afternoon at 2pm UK 9am Eastern for practice and trying out my idea for silly car race. 👍👍👍

 

[lionelg]

Thanks Stewy, had trawled all through the Nissan site, twice would you believe, and missed it. 👍 Must go and see about some new glasses or perhaps a little more brain.

Will join you this afternoon when I get back from the pub.

Stewy, That sounds great, and the person who conjures up these events is likely the best person to be the basher. As such, I nominate YOU! I know you'd probably be able to make the event last the rest of the day.

LOL !! Stewy, 'ol bud your EVIL thoughts already arrived when you set up a 12 lap event at Matterhorn Riffelsee using the 2020 Vision GTR bud! Allwheel drive, 615pp in default trim WITH KERS (which by the by using at some portions of this track is a recipe for immediate and complete disaster!)

I gave the event a try yesterday with you and Papa,, and again today with absolutely NO success completing the 12 lap test run . That has to be one of your MORE DEMENTED, EVIL and deranged thoughts to date!

**BUT**,, the good thing I think is it will undoubtedly be FUN, will be an INSANE and absolutely, totally UNPREDICTABLE event! 👍👍 CUDO's bud and TY for including a Vision car in a Saturday race.

GEEZERS RULE!

I second that @pmallard. 👍👍

@Stewyripper the "Basher" has a nice ring to it.

Acclamation! Nobody better.

(I'll hang on to that Demio for awhile anyway)

 

[jotafduarte]

Hei guys attention ! We can´t be too fast in the GT Academy race, because we could be determined for the final round and PD don´t like young pilots

Well, I see PD, in their wisdom , have set up another 500 PP "Gixxer" TT.

I am boycotting that particular "car" & used an Alpine A110 1600S '72 to get gold. 👍

As of now, @pmallard & @Stewyripper are in the top 100. 👍👍 WELL DONE guys. 👍👍
I'm satisfied with my lowly placing.

Hope to see another great turnout for @Stewyripper's (aka Basher) Saturday Fun Fest.

I'm with your comments Papa with regard to the "Gixxer" and will not use the car either, becomes very boring.

Yes,, WELL DONE fellas who are in the TOP 100!
The GSX'r,, I'm with you Papa, not going to use the concept GSX either. If I don't get gold,, ohh well,, but I think I will - eventually!! Haven't tried the Alpine yet,, trying to get to GOLD with the one of the Elise cars at the moment. Good luck to us all!!

FWIW - I had come to dislike the GSX because the sound is annoying, and felt perhaps it is misclassified. That said, it has it's own challenges as far as driving the thing, that being throttle control, and tuning. I have become obsessed with trying to learn how to drive a GSX fast. I think it has actually helped me develop into a bit of a better pilot, mainly due to the throttle control needed to turn without spinning, or corkscrewing while exiting a corner. After you finish running your other cars, go back to the GSX - It can be fun (although frustrating) to drive. Sort of like playing golf.

There just are NO good up & downs to be had regardless of the wedge selected to exit the sand.

Can't make it this morning. Good luck all, have fun!

 

[Stewyripper]

Geezers, just over an hour until mayhem commences.
Room will be open at 1.30 UK time 8.30 Eastern, racing will start 30 minutes later or there abouts.
Don't forget clear your caches before you start and your oil changes etc.
Shame @matilda1234 won't be starting.

 

[Stewyripper]

What a laugh that was, hope you all enjoyed it as much as i did.
Next weeks events will be as follows free choice of cars up to pp limit all will be stock with free tyre choice.
Race 1 400pp stock on snow. Chamonix mini 15 laps.

Race 2 450pp stock on track. Suzuka 8 laps weather on [evil thoughts occurring again]

Race 3 400pp stock on dirt. Eiger Nordwand g trail 6 laps

Race 4 400pp london 10 laps of which 6 will be driven forwards then 4 laps you will drive in reverse, so find a good reversing car. Also it will be no rules as usual you just have to win. replays will be watched to make sure we all go backwards for 4 laps. You can do your 4 lap reversing at any time but you must do all four at the same time.
I will create practice rooms tomorrow for you, Stewy
