GTP NASCAR Truck Series General Discussion / POLL UP

Need a gold chrome paint chip?

I managed to win season 3 with my usual colour scheme of red with gold unpainted rims, but it wouldn't hurt to have 3 chrome Tacomas for the season. I won IROC III with a fully chrome Camaro (silver chrome body and gold chrome painted rims). I'm currently out of chrome paint so I'd need 3.

Does anyone have a spare Dodge please, I dont think I have one

I think I have one spare. I'd duped one to send one of my Nationwide drivers who then didn't need it. Just take off whatever parts aren't allowed. (I think it's the torgue distribution differential and possibly the supercharger).

EDIT: Turns out I sold the spare. I'll dupe it again for you before the test session.

I have the Dodge, it's my only one but I'm not yet sure which truck I'm choosing, because the Toyota's lack of power is really troubling.

 

[DrifterJoe]

Sent you the Dodge Neljack. I couldn't find where I read about the torque distribution diff not being allowed, and the supercharger is allowed.

 

[cgr-10]

And racing exhaust is permitted, I think.

Joe, will you check my last post in the IndyCar thread?

 

[Carbonox]

I might not be there as I've got the birthday to celebrate, but could as well join to find out which car suits me best.

 

[Furinkazen]

Opening up in a minute.

 

[neljack]

Thanks for sending it Joe 👍

 

[cgr-10]

Anyboody got a Dodge to send me? The only truck I don't have on my new(ish) save.

I'll do it 👍

I'll do it 👍

Cheers 👍

Cheers 👍

Sent.

Room opening.

Daytona is concerning once again.

I get 51.6s in the Chevrolet. Furi gets 50.0s in the Chevrolet.

Either he's running a supercharger or there's something very wrong here.

 

[Furinkazen]

Chevrolet spec series. Seems most logical way forward at this point in time. Thoughts? Poll going up?

After tonights testing - its a must - track is list is awesome, will be making the series better for everyone 👍

 

[cgr-10]

Agree with Nel 100%.

iRacing goes single-spec. There's no point fighting a losing battle.

 

[Knelly]

This has always been the problem with the Trucks. You will never get a happy medium unless you use just one spec.

 

[MustangRyan]

Use the Chevys, they look the most like a NASCAR racing truck.

EDIT - also, don't try to use a limited legal parts list. Just set a maximum power number and let everyone max out their power and limit it back down to the magic number. There is no way to guarantee that a truck doesn't have extra power-producing parts equipped (intake, chip, filter, etc) that would provide more power under the curve than someone who is running a 100% legal setup with less parts.

Drop you got a spare 1 or two? Neljack and Spurgy need one, and a couple people have not delivered on trades...

 

[MustangRyan]

I can send Chevy trucks out. 👍

Also, make sure you see the edit I just made to my previous post. It will save you a lot of time and trouble and conspiracy theories. Let people lose to better driving, better tunes, or better luck. Don't let people even think they got beat by an illegal modification that was installed on someone else's car but not on their own.

 

[The Bman]

I prefer the Silverado one-make idea since everyone would be on even ground, so nobody can use the Toyota and dominate the season.

Thanks Drop 👍 !

Agreed with the point as well.

 

[cgr-10]

Agree with Drop on both points.

Use Joe's track.

 

[MustangRyan]

And now that balance is out of the equation, I say go crazy with 900hp supercharged Silverados with maximum weight reduction.

 

[Chqr]

Oh yeah, Furi, please don't say we will be running 800 BHP monsters around Daytona like we did today.

This is NASCAR Trucks and should be the entry-level series for GTP NASCAR.

Please power-limit these things to around 650 BHP for the ovals at least and maybe the entire schedule.

 

[Furinkazen]

Not 800hp.

Probably superchargers + semi exhaust @ 700hp
