GTP United Sports Car Championship | Season 6 | Series Finished!Finished

This happens frequently at Daytona with some cars, I was up on 2 wheels during restarts, its rather odd that's for sure. Somethings wrong I think with their Daytona depiction, the track is still pre-2010 before the re-paving for one thing.

The bus stop in the game is very wrong. It's way too long. The IRL bus stop is tighter and shorter.

Well Daytona has weather/time change now which I imagine involved significant re-building from its fixed weather/time state on GT5. If they are going to go through with the lighting, visual, grip changes why not go all the way and re-pave it as well? Seems a little bit odd but the way PD operates is sometimes strange so go figure.

GT6 seems uninspired to me. I think they kinda slapped this together last second then got busy working with the PS4

It is basically GT5 Epilogue.

Its not so much wrong in how long it is (because that chicane has been used before in real life for a while) as it is the wrong one to use.

 

[MatheusBond]

Is anyone else finding it really hard to keep their cars on track? I can't go a few corners without spinning out my DW. Strange, since I used the very same setting at the preseason race, and the car was smooth.

 

[GTPvw_slc]

The Nissan GTR is quite a handful in 2nd. Short shift to third in every exit of turns. All I could do for now. Haha

Any times for GT glass? I ran a 2.04.1 but expect some others to be quicker.

 

[FlyinHawaiian77]

2.04's here also. Sneaked in a couple of 3's but I think 4's are more realistic as far as pace goes.

 

[Ph1sh]

Ill be there Tonight 👍

You can tune suspension and aero and transmisson.

Just no engine parts or turbos for GT cars

Thx

And power limiter to 361 HP on DW, right?

 

[cnd01]

The best I've done yet is a 2.05.1. Maybe it's ds3, maybe I just suck

 

[Com Fox]

I don't see the point in engine parts anyway, my Audi is faster without them.

 

[MatheusBond]

I did a 1:52 offline. Adjusting for time loss for going off track and online delay, my actual time should be (optimistically) 1:46.

 

[Ph1sh]

And I'm sitting here reading times for the GT class... 2'03s....2'04s...... Uhhhhhhhhh

 

[Com Fox]

I got 2:07 on my 15 seconds of practice (could've practiced more if it wasn't for my sickness).

 

[polarbear345]

Correct. Looking forward to seeing everyone this evening!

Yeah I see the lap record is :1:33.5 from way back early 90s, from one of the group C cars. So the longer chicane they used back then was probably faster. Although it probably only affects lap times by 0.5s or so. I bet you could get an Audi R18 (I dont know what the 2014 Audi LMP1 is called, haha) and run a sub 1:32. In GT6 getting sub 1:40 with the stock R18 is challenging, go figure PD also seems to have beef with Audi & their dominance. Their hate is extending down the Audi line as new Grand Turismo's are released, is their an Audi Vision GT coming? Dont thing so but haven't looked.

I'm pretty sure the group C cars are a lot faster than the current lmp1 cars, not sure about 2014, but 2013 should be slower.

 

[Com Fox]

The 2014 Audi is still called the R18 e-tron. I think LMP cars are getting slower and slower

 

[MatheusBond]

I'm pretty sure the group C cars are a lot faster than the current lmp1 cars, not sure about 2014, but 2013 should be slower.

Exactly, try putting a Sauber C9 and the R18 on a race. The winner is obvious.

Guess @Rich S's claim nulls what I said.

No I think that's a common misconception, the 2010 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP was the fastest prototype car in history. The modern cars have far more downforce & braking distance are shorter, this is where their making time. The group C had great straightline speed, but were 10-15 secs off the modern cars just in Qualifying at LeMans (spa being closer). In the race they were actually slower as they detuned for reliability, modern LMP1s can now pretty much run Q pace during the race...

EDIT, the fastest Group C was either the C11 from 1990 or the 89' Sauber, from what I can tell. You can check out Pole Laps from over the years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_km_Spa

I know 2010 was faster, but didn't the rules change after that year making the P1 cars closer to the then P2 speed? Then gt1 evaporated around then too

Yeah: 2013 was 3 seconds slower pole time than 2010.

 

[Com Fox]

Soon P1 will be Fiat 500s . I really don't get the separation of the P1 classes. Wasn't there already prizes for Privateers and can't ACO just hinder the Hybrids like they did with the Diesals?

Too easy.

Seems like the 2013 cars are about the same as group c, with 2010 being faster.

 

[RACECAR]

Alright, ready to go for the race. I've decided I'll keep trying this glitch fest so I have no expectations for how it'll turn out, only that I'll just keep going until I can't go anymore.

 

[Turbo_snail]

Is there a spot in the BMW or the Mercedes?

BMW tonight because Adam is reporting for the big 24 hour race

 

[Com Fox]

My Audi is ready.
