I'm allways interested in one make races.

And I'm available for testing / tuning sessions.

Draft will be low, makes hooking up with another truck very important. Also I'll guess its a DBC Ford Carbon?
 
Told ya it's a surprise, I'm not revealing stuff or even giving clues until the time comes :P
 
Test room open!

I'm having some problems connection your lounge.

"Entry was refused due to network incompatibility with the room owner. [749]

I've spent hour alredy tuning the car and was just going to drop by and say hi.

Ok thats strange, you never had issues before.

Room closed.

Overall Ford about 182mph by itself, two car draft adds 10mph.
 
I've had the same problem at times, but have occasionally succeeded in getting into the room in a while. At the other times, I simply could not enter, no matter how many times I tried...
 
I'd like to have the "bump drafting" being prohibited/banned/not allowed.
To give some value to a better setup and/or driving skills.

You would ofcourse be able to have a draft partner whom with you'd trade places back and forth.
But nothing like it usually is in GT5 oval races.

I think thats not true. Did you watch any NASCAR Camping World Truck Races this year at Daytona and Talladega? Because they do two car tandem there. IMO Indy is not a good track to bump draft on because of the potenial of understeer into the corners. You will see the better skilled drivers step up on the road courses. Sorry to disagree with you.
 
Driving skills and setup are mostly irrelevant at Daytona, until they add an option to disable slipstreaming.

As long as you can use the draft, bad cars and drivers will be able to keep up, pass, and cause huge accidents. Good skilled bumpdrafting can help you separate away from those guys, actually giving better car setups and drivers a chance to win the race.
 
Plus, bump drafting is pretty easy with the trucks, unlike with the light Camaro that can easily spin out after an erratic bump draft.

I felt it was easier in the Camaros personally.
