GTP Le Mans Prototype Series - Season 4: INTEREST THREAD

[GT5_X2010]

Haha that was great. I might make a Tank Car series

I would join. Just a slight word of warning for any of your people that are simply addicted to rally driving in errr a 3,500kg open wheel, steel bodied, 16 cylinder tank engine propelled monter. Only use about 5000bhp since using 900bhp causes massive wheelspin and slows you down compared with 500bhp.

Max it out on the tarmac though.

And Jamm, set up a Jay Leno Tank Car '03 spot race at somewhere like Monaco. It would be lol

ONLY 5,000??! Lol

Even though it's possibly the heaviest car in the game you feel kind of stupid when a 900kg Impreza just pushes it aside.

5,000 is a very practical amount of brake hourse power.... in a plane. Or a tank. Not a tank car. My road car would put out 5,000 BHP but I decided that other motorists may be dis-heartened to see my Renault blast into the distance so I decided that a nice a toasty 100bhp was fine

Yes, when we made a roadblock. Me and golfer saw the darker side to bombe which we never knew existed

I'll continue with the testing later today, hopefully find some setups for the 787B, 905, R89, R92 and Hybride.

what are the chances that this thread opened just 50 minutes after Jamman said he would start a tank car championship

 

[SebVettelFan]

Damn. I should've known better than to release my idea in public. Now someone's stolen my it 👎

yyes they stole it 50 minutes BEFORE you released your idea

I want to know how to do Alonso's card tricks

What card tricks?

I missed that bit since I was copying those photos I took earlier. I will post them in a thread I will make in the photomode forum. It will be just rally and rallycross cars.

Nice job spoiling the spoiler, golfer, lol

Now I'm pretty much done with two of the bhp limits, and they both look pretty good (680 and 900). I think one of the thinks we could do is to put the slower guys in the faster cars, then it should all even out. Idk if this is fair or not, and besides not all my setups are equally good.

FACT: I am very slow. Where is my Bentley?

 

[amf7]

i am slower than golfer.... weres my 01 audi

Another important thing about the HP limit. You need to give those people who don't use traction control, such as myself, a fighting chance. Up the HP limit, and we'll struggle, and have to turn them on, which I don't want to do. I do fine with the limit now, any more and i'll probably be going off track more often You also have to take into account that the faster you make the cars, the more likelihood of incident on track, and we surely have enough of that, with Johny running around the place jk

 

[SebVettelFan]

I've pretty much decided on my car. If the limit stays at 680 hp (which I think it should after my testing) I'll stick with the trusted GT one. If it's 700 hp+ I think I'll use the Audi R8 Playstation. God, I never knew that car was so good. Never driven it much but now I realise why BK and Allin like it so much. Very well balanced and a blast to drive. So yeah just waiting for the regs now to know which one to use

I find the Audi to be a bit understeery, but that's compared to the very nimble Minolta. However, it seems to be a lot more gentle on its tyres, mike often does 1 stops, right?

As for me, I'm going to try and get a lvl. 23 ticket, test the Bentley, but i'm pretty much decided to use the GT-One.

 

[bombe32]

Jam, give yourself a challenge and use one of the slower cars
--

Bentley and GT-ONE are superior at the moment. They're quick and have good tyre wear, not like the other fast cars I have (Nissans, Pesky Courage, MINOLTA) with extreme tyre wear.

 

[Peter.]

Well, seeing as quite a few of us are online right now on GTP, unless you're at work(naughty people), you may be on PSN as well, so how about a room online for testing?

 

[bombe32]

No one can join my rooms. And I can't edit car setups when in others' rooms. Racing tho, bring it on...
--

Fixed my Bentley and it's now superior in all my leaderboards.

Why can't you edit your car setup?


I can do basic stuff to tuning, but i'm not a great tuner. That'll be my teammates job

 

[bombe32]

Because if I do, I'll get my Error Unknown, whoever can fix it will get 4 cakes. I've had it since .. always, but it's only GT5.

 

[SebVettelFan]

Me, Johny and MU have just had a race at Nurburgring. Absolutely awesome. Fantastic for side by side battles. And also in the process I overtook MU round the outside of turn 2 and Johny round the outside of the hairpin. Was very pleased with those moves

Mike64 prefers the Audi as well. The GT-One is a great car. I probably would have figured out how to drive it with little downforce after my first season in it. That is what can make it become superior and strike for podiums. The Audi puts me, with my driving skill, in the middle to the back of the pack with it's touch lower overall top speed and my inability to tune it for combined S-Turns. If I can't qualify to get into the Audi I'm going to try and qualify for the V12. Audi became a hot ticket it seems.
