GTPub: Spec & Shuffle Racing!

[BrandonW77]

Unless something changed with a recent patch, you should be able to limit the Power, weight, and tuning together. I'll get on and mess about with it.

If you're allowing all cars, yes. But if you use the option where you can limit it to karts/F1/LMP/Ferrari Street Cars, etc. then you no longer have the option to limit hp/weight/pp AND prohibit tuning. Ideally I could limit it to Ferrari Street Cars, then set the hp/weight limits at the stock figures for the 458 and select "tuning prohibited" and then the only car that could get on track would be the 458. Unfortunately I can only use 2 of those 3 options at the same time which means any number of cars will be able to get on track. 👎 So I have to count on people to respect my request to only bring the 458 on track.........and I can't count on Randoms to respect any requests.

If we were doing this in a private lounge with only GTP members then no problem, but attendance has been lame using that format which is why I've moved to the public rooms.

In my experience the best thing you can do to keep dirty drivers out is limit tuning and tires. With that said I dont know why you get dirty drivers in shuffle races since there is always tire restrictions and no tuning. I think setting Ferrairi street cars to no tuning would work better than a hp/ weight restriction.

 

[BrandonW77]

I'm online, I'll get a room open and see if anyone bites the Ferrari hook. I'll be in my 458 Italia, the red one.

 

[Naptown25rs]

Probably not gonna make it tonight, I'm biting the beer hook instead.

 

[BrandonW77]

^ seems you're not the only one.


EDIT: Well, that doesn't work for a number of reasons. Firstly, nobody joined for quite a while. When a few did join, one just looked at the restrictions and left, one got in the wrong car and wouldn't switch after being asked multiple times, and the other only had modified cars and couldn't get on the track. I have a feeling a lot of people will run into the third problem of only having modified cars which would greatly limit participation. I guess the option would be to just set a hp/weight limit and let people bring whatever tuned Ferrari on track that they wanted. I'm sure most people would just bring Enzo's though. Or we could just do F1 cars with tuning prohibited.

Man, I missed you guys again, I'll race anything, even on comfort hards Have to see if I lag though

 

[BrandonW77]

I should be online around 2 or 3pm EDT this afternoon for some regularly scheduled spec and shuffle racing. I'll start off with spec so the room won't fill up too fast. 👍

 

[BrandonW77]

Dsg and I are trolling a shuffle room, nobody else is on at the moment. If I see some people log on I'll open a room.

It's dirty. I'm out.

 

[BrandonW77]

I just now left it, didn't have any real problems. They did boot a couple guys but no issues after that.

 

[BrandonW77]

I'll be around this evening for some regularly scheduled Spec & Shuffle racing if anyone's interested. 👍

The Enzo is fast in a straight line and not much else. On most circuits the 458 and 430 will dominate. Either way it could make for an interesting mix of cars and some good racing.

You haven't checked that yet?

With any luck I'll be around tonight.

 

[BrandonW77]

I'm online and have a spec/shuffle room open, feel free to join!

[Johnnypenso]

On my way...

Brandon has left..I reopened another room..

1472-6118-3615-5264-7921

Some rough racing again last night. Hard to believe after 3.5 years guys are still divebombing to their hearts delight without a care or concern for other drivers.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Brandon, I'll run the room tonight or some other night we're both available if you just want to relax and enjoy racing and not have to worry about the d-bags.

 

[RDAardvark]

Off-topic (sorry) but I'm looking forward to replicating this in GT6:


Proper Mini's (none of that girly BMW nonsense) at Goodwood.

 

[BrandonW77]

More off-topic, but here's how I'm spending my Friday.

Nice... I almost took the day off work just to take in the Grand-Am race, but decided it wasn't worth it.

 

[BrandonW77]

It's sooo worth it, best day at the track all year. Lost of racing and you can sit anywhere you want. Even get to watch the NASCAR boys practice this year. Grand Am had a big autograph session with all the cars, got the sig of these fine fellows:

Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan

Grand Am Champ Scott Pruitt

And the man who needs no introduction, Mr. Barichello himself!

And I suppose you've had to drink some beer too.

 

[BrandonW77]

When in Rome.......

 

[BrandonW77]

Anybody racing today?

 

[Naptown25rs]

Anybody racing today?

There's quite a good race going on at Spa right now, that's where my attention is anyway...

Spa 24h

 

[BrandonW77]

It's got over 21 hours left, you can spare an hour. We can race at Spa.

 

[Naptown25rs]

Yeah, I haven't been on in over a week... I'll try not to fall asleep before you get a room open.

 

[BrandonW77]

I'll have one open in a little over an hour.

 

[BrandonW77]

Room is open.

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Sorry, I'm lagging with many drivers in a room That Red GTO was all over the place.

Got shunted once at Seca, went wide on last corner, last lap ...

Looks like my upload is still bad Did I cause any crash or glitch on track ?

 

[BrandonW77]

Yeah, I had to boot that guy. I don't think you caused any crashes but your car was very shaky and it was impossible to tell where you were gonna be. I tried to give you a few races to see if it would sort out but it was pretty constant.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Too bad, my upload is still unreliable, while download is fine - I can see everyone smoothly, which is why I can drive in close proximity without hitting others.
