IMPORTANT
For those who are joinning us on saturday, make sure you have a none tuned car. Would be nice if you could make you sure you ran it in aswell, including an oil change. no extra parts or weight reduction are allowed, nore any kind of other tunning as suspension, gearing.... the only thing you are allowed to change is brake balance.
See ya all on saturday 👍

So, is there a free choice of which car you want to use, as long as it's stock?
DTM
Premium
- 2,503
- Netherlands
- GTP_DTM
- X What?
I'm a bit confused.
The opening post says. You can add some parts (see first quote). And Frank post that the car must be stock (see second quote)
Besides all that. The saturday night attack is the old WRS version with again other car specs. Why not using this car for Saturnday night attack so everybody who joint the academy to learn can try it in a race. This way a lot of people will struggle or won't even join the saturday night attack.

It's tuning prohibited, so a new car is going to be needed.

You can change the rims if you want. If you do, the only thing you need to do to be allowed on the tuning-prohibited-track is set your gearbox to standard again.
No, engine break in and oil change are required. Just put the car you want on the indy500 endurance for 84-ish laps and your done.

Is ~85 laps, of Indy 500 really enough?

I see I forgot to mention it's B-Spec Indy 500 I meant. You don't have to drive it yourself.

A bit less than 85 laps, done 55 so far and with oil change comes to 206bhp I think max is 208?
Anyway for tonight's session I was thinking maybe the top drivers (instructors) can sort of give us tips based on their own driving style/experience on how to approach braking and throttle action, or basically how they approach corners and how they try and get the max out of every corner to improve lap time, sort of how tidgney was explaining in his gtacademy videos. For example Chris (vagabond) talks a lot about trial braking, although I have heard of it before I still don't know how to do it myself. So things like that and other tricks would be nice to know
hopefully someone can explain that

I've driven 6 or 8 laps of the SSRX, and I'm at 205bhp... I think it's giving approximately .5 BHP per lap.

80 Laps at Indy *4 km per lap = 320 KMs on the car = broken in. Just run a couple extra laps to be 100% sure it's broken in - which is why Tim said run 85.
If you let Bob run the b-spec race it takes about an hour and tou don't need to do anything at all.
As Mohit mentioned, do not quit the race when the car is in the pits or none of the kms will count and you will need to break the car in again.

I can understand you are intrested in these things, as you already have more than bassic skills and a division 2 status is in the near future. But this is not what this academy is made for.
First of all we want lower division drivers to help, and give them more experience and all the help they want to improve in online racing so they would be able to reach your level...
However during the academy you could always ask someone or pm them to run a private session to inform on your needs.
I hope you do understand.
Frank.
No worries Frank, totally understand. Just thought I'd through out a suggestion just incase
Edit: Ill be in about 20min, just finishing up running in the car

Fun time guys. Sorry Dennis for the DC, we were having good fun 
.
Manu, I can always help you out with trail braking if you want in another session.
Quick video I suggest you guys watch on braking. Every word he says can be translated back to GT5
EDIT: The video doesn't teach you exactly how to do it, but it gives a good idea on what trail braking is. It also helps you understand how ABS works.
