GTP Rolex | Season 5 | Complete! Help Plan!

[paulmac2k9]

What the? Why are you comparing this to ITCC... That's like comparing DTM to BTCC, there is NO comparison!

Wait unless this isn't Rolex anymore.

I could compare my Lacetti to a Focus RS and say in it's draft I could go a tiny bit faster but ultimately still be much slower but why would I?

 

[polarbear345]

Wtf.. Which car is 40 km/h too slow..

The Vette is faster than the rest in the straights but the rest are fairly close.

Mel drove it into the gravel and lost the draft. Mustard and I were still able to draft off each other and pulled away.

So in Mel's mind, he was at a disadvantage because his car wasn't fast enough to catch up without draft.

Points:

There is no comparison... He is making an invalid argument.

And 16 guests reading the thread? Word must've gotten out!

Hey guys, going to enter my TOCA VW Golf next race, might have 100hp less than other GT's and half a DP, but hell, draft and I will win it 👍

As I said, I'm done here.


If you want to question my decision, take it up via PM.


I'm tired of trying to keep up or have close racing.


At Suzuka, the Audi was quite fast. Now, at Monza, it's quite slow. Why? Because it's too good in the corners and wet, and too slow on the straights.


No matter what, you're not going to have close racing.

 

[Com Fox]

GGT had close racing yesterday even though the Ford is the fastest on straights and Nissan is the slowest on straights.

Don't be so slow then. See TOCA cars - totally differing characteristics yet all competitive. These Rolex cars are good from previous experience. And see WSC for a prime example Mel

I just noticed that today was the first race that Storm actually missed this season. Not only that, he already won the GT class in overall points.

 

[paulmac2k9]

The Audi is slower in the straights but is very quick everywhere else.

I dominated at Laguna, at Fuji even with the loooong straight I fought up from not qualifying to 3rd behind Ant and GTP_Viggen.

Admittedly I had a hard time passing on the long straight but I could pull a gap on the rest of the track.. Battled with Storm for the rest of it while Ant and Viggen drove off ahead of us .

+1, like real racing some cars will be better at some points than others.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

That's my point. Why can't they be almost duplicates of each other?

Explains why you always want an overpowered car...

@Resh; it's not anyone's fault but his. He messed up and is blaming it.

Now he's going on facebook messaging me. He seems to run away quite quickly....



Anyways, wish I was up there with you mustard! Would've been cool if we were side by side at the finish!

@M0nster; realized Storm already had it won today too

 

[Com Fox]

I know from experience that just complaining about the car is not the right way . I'd like to forget about me acting like an idiot.

You're fine. Thought you would've poped in the room today actually, you were on when the race was on.

If I ever do another series ABS just has to be on 1 or no one comes.

 

[Com Fox]

I was just trying to film but the sun is bad for my 3DS .

 

[paulmac2k9]

ABS off improves the standard of racing, imo. It means braking is a more thought out thing than just stamping on the stop pedal and usually any late braking maneuvers aren't as drastic. (Not to meantion they actually become out-braking maneuvers..)

When in random lobbies, track day etc. I always drive ABS off and even when I overstep it and lock up I can usually recover it and continue. Where as if I have ABS on I tend to be a bit inconsistent on the brakes.

Curtains?

Also, just realized Mel hasn't completed a full season bar 1 when his car hasn't been overpowered.


@ Paul; I agree, but people here can't do it

 

[Com Fox]

No ABS is like trying to defeat Silver in Sonic 06; "It's no use".

 

[Furinkazen]

No ABS is workable if everyone can do it...

It's not hard, you just have to know how to do it, and practice it.

Same with Silver (I only just found a plan to defeat him so yeah, if thats possible then no ABS is possible .

Sonic 06 sucks..

Your opinion on the 2ds?

Your opinion on the 2ds?

1. Sonic 06 is bad but I still enjoy it (except for the Sonic and Elise romance, I'd rather read twilight )

2. 2DS, is a good idea, not going to get it but many people are concerned about the 3D and no one really plays games in 3D anyway, I can tell this is targeted towards kids.

Seems right.

Thanks for everyone who showed up and finished tonight Spa next!

 

[swiftsmith]

How was the race?

 

[Com Fox]

Probably the best thing about Sonic 06 was Shadows story (the only one that really entertained me).

I might join for Spa or Laguna Seca.

Join for both!

 

[paulmac2k9]

I might try make Spa and Seca, hopefully theres more GT though.

Only problem is I have an early start next Sunday and no doubt will have for the Sunday after that..

So again it will come down to if I have the energy.

Storm will be back next week, and Anthony may too.

I really hope you can make it!

 

[Rich S]

Well if the whole field comes back I guess that relegates me a bit. Was glad that got atleast 1 race win.

Yeah! Was deserved for sure! Hopefully we can ride out the last two races and have fun.
