Apollo, MrNiceRider, Paginas...I wait for u guys, come on.

 

[CSLACR]

Make sure to set "visual" damage completely off guys. 👍
(it can help keep the bug at bay)

 

[CSLACR]

@CSLACR: Do you think we take a risk if we switch the guys in the room 2 to the room 1 (NTSC Conference)?

@Everyone: If you have any personal question, I'm actually available on the chat

It's not a risk, it's a guaranteed bugged room unfortunately, so no, we simply can't.
If we can't get enough people to make the second room worth running, (which is up to the guys signed up for the room, really, if they want they can, no matter the count) there's nothing we can do.
The only option I could see would be splitting classes up, which depending how this bug plays out, we might see the removal of mixed grid races anyway.

I get 545pp at 335 hp on the 08 Subaru.
Also we will be checking hp and pp, this way although you can get 336hp at 545pp, you would fail the checks 👍
When I tested the 08, I found it was quicker with the stage 2 turbo.
With the stage 3 turbo at 335hp the pp is only 542.
If anyone disagree's I suppose now is the right time to discuss

You can typically squeeze 336 under the regs when set at 335, don't know why, but I did it with both Subaru's last night in IForceV8's room.

GT300's will sort their grid positions first. While GT300's sort their grid, GT500's DO NOT MOVE. GT300 cars move from the grid ONE by ONE in qualifying order.
The Pole car drives up and parks about 100 m (300 ft) ahead. (WHILE DOING SO, THE OTHER CARS DO NOT MOVE ONE INCH). As he pases the start line, the
next driver can move up, and so on. Once all cars are in the correct position and are NOT moving, the pole car may start the first of two formation laps. When
the first lap is completed, be sure to pass the parked GT500 pack with caution. As soon as the GT300 pack have passed the GT500 pack (It's not always that GT300's need to pass the GT500's to lead the formation lap, details will be provided by the host before race start), the GT500's may pull
away from the start line ONE by ONE in starting order. From here on, GT300's lead the formation lap, with GT500's about 45-60 seconds behind.
We use this procedure to try and ensure that all cars got a decent chance of completing the race before the timer (max 180 sec) runs out. By doing this, we
also get finishing times for (hopefully) all cars making any penalties incurred easier to apply.
With this in mind, follow the steps below:
First, you must remember your Grid Spot (Super Lap Qualifying).
Hold your positions when countdown reaches zero.
Cars will make their way ONE BY ONE to the front and roll as a separate pack.
Cars must roll at a maintained pace of 55 mph / 90 kmh.
Field will roll double file (Single file for the Nurburgring 24h race).
Odd numbers will start on the inside lane relative to turn 1.
Even numbers will stay on the outside lane (Opposite side).
The Pole sitter will decide the point at which the race starts as he approaches the start-finish line.
You must maintain a minimum of One car length between you and the car in front (same lane).
One car length is the minimum, meaning it's up to you how large the gap is.
You must always maintain FULL visual contact with the ahead of you (opposite lane).
You're front bumper must not overlap the rear bumper of the car ahead of you (oposite lane), doing so can be viewed as a false start and a penalty can be applied as a result.
You must wait for the car ahead of you (opposite lane) to accelerate before you do!
No passing before the start finish line! Penalties will be strictly enforced for false starts, illegal passing, and overall aggressive driving!
* In case of a disconnect during the formation lap; cars behind must maintain position and can NOT move up the grid. Doing so can result in a penalty for breach of "jump start".

[OK8]

Is breaching minimun distance allowed when accelerating before the finish line or does that count as an overtake?

 

[paulmac2k9]

Hmm I joined fine no lag we started race 20mins later. I made it to the first corner and poof disconned, that was a full 16 room....

If thats how bad it is good luck everyone still in the room . (I wont rejoin since it just a pre season and im well aware of the procedure, save the bandwidth for the new guys )

Also OK8 you should allways be behind the car infronts rear bumper never overlap or thats jumping the start.

 

[will-i-am]

Your front bumper cant pass the rear bumper of the car in front.
1 car length = you right behind the other car. Past the bumper equals less than, and space in between your front and their rear equals greater than.

 

[OK8]

No overlapping before crossing the line, gotcha.

Another question I have is considering flat powerbands. Today I was experimenting with tunes and I got one where from 6-8k revs the power is flat at the top. Is this somehow a bad thing? The way I see it, if I can keep the revs between 6-8k with my gearbox I have max power all the time.

 

[xStretch-]

Sorry had to leave

Dumb reason = I have the sheets I had to run to that toilet

fml

Note:

Replace the "ee" with "i" in the word sheets. Best way to beat censored rules

 

[twistedfirework]

Any feedback on the gr300 cars. Too quick? Too slow? How about the subaru's?

They seem pretty good to me great job :tup

 

[cicua]

Good race tonight, I can only thank myself for blowing it up early. Ie. losing a wheel a the grass and spinning helplessly. Some good GT300 fight until then, but already at that point Paginas you were untouchable

Hellboyfr, you really need to sort out your internet connection, that lag is completely unworkable. I literally had no idea whether you were 50 metres ahead or behind, that is how bad it was. And so your ghost car rammed me off track during quali, just like it did in the first preseasonal race. I am happy you left so it did not happen in race again.

 

[Paginas1]

the gt300 cars seem quite even I only had a 3 or 4 second gap before people starting going for their 1st pit stop however I went for a 1 stop which seemed to be faster.

I tested the gara 08 here and damn I love it lol

 

[paulmac2k9]

Pag what times were you hitting in the new spec car to give me something to aim for.

 

[Paginas1]

during practice I did a 1:35.5 and during the rAce I did a 1:35.1 think slipstream was involved

 

[paulmac2k9]

Ah ok I was getting 1:35.8 at best on the old spec ill see what I can do with the new spec .

 

[harrison1476]

PAL results? Kinda interested to see where they placed... Litchi can you post results here?
Really wondering what good fast times are for GT500 cars are...

 

[paulmac2k9]

I think fast gt500 times are 1:29s not sure.

 

[Litchi]

I'm playing to Battlefield 3 with NEPALII atm. I'll post PAL results in an hour or 2 about

How many laps is the race? I need to do some pit strategy testing later tonight.... 1-2 stopper?
Edit: Did anyone record? I believe CSL records on NTSC.

Answer is here
And last season qualifying laps time are here

 

[will-i-am]

Cool, hope the race went nice.

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Just looked at last seasons Q laps and those guys are doing mid 28s. Wow. I can only just break into the 29s.

How many pit stops you guy doing in gt500?

Last season the cars had more hp

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Last season the cars had more hp

Phew. That makes me feel a little bit better lol.
What was the Q times in the PAL race today?

 

[Litchi]

I don't know. But u can find the best laps (in race) in one of my posts on this page. And yesterday, I made some GT500 tests, my best was 1:29.5 with the Motul - Turbo 2.
