Heartfelt congratulations to Jammy for winning ITCC 3!

[sparkytooth]

Let me test one of those out on TGTT against my undertuned Focus.

Furi, make that a 4 way smackdown.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

We could just put them all down on the same track with stock suspensions, Brake and LSD settings.

Mazda and Volvo are the worst handling cars in the game on their stock setups. And, as far as stock setups go, I find the Honda to be average, and the Focus is like a second faster...

That doesn't seem fair. What if polar wins in his honda by a margin due to driving skill?

Polar?


Kidding!


If all three Honda drivers walk away with the race, and win by a few seconds, it'll be pretty clear. If a driver whom I've raced with before, and whose general speed I know walks away with it, it'll be pretty clear.


If polar manages to beat Adam (a faster driver, I believe,) and everyone else, more power to him. But if Siggers, polar, and Adam get a 1, 2, 3 sweep of qualifying, and all three races, "Houston, we've got a big problem."

 

[Com Fox]

You guys are making this seem like I'm the only one who says this stuff...

Mel, if you want to take some swings at me, you can do it somewhere else...

Sorry, just using you as an example .

Polar?

That attitude stinks of 🤬 Mel.

 

[sparkytooth]

If you install all the exhaust upgrades, it might help.

Who uses stock set ups as a base... C'mon, you can do better.

Sorry, just using you as an example .

Not you.

Remember that list you made?

So, I did a four-car test at Suzuka Full. I chose it because it has a good mix of twisty bits and fast bits, plus the figure-8 means the tire wear will be more even. The results are as follows:

4. Honda Civic (Polar) - 2:17.642
Polar, I have absolutely no idea how you drive this thing. The powerband is absolutely atrocious, and mine was trying to murder me every time I turned. I'm going to have to mess with the setup some for this one.

3. Renault Megane (Lancer) - 2:16.813
The Megane was good in the corners, great off the corners, and ok down the straights. Nothing I didn't already know. Would be fine with the top two in a draft.

2. Dodge Neon SRT4 (cnd) - 2:15.878
This thing absolutely decimates down the straights. I had the setup pretty good, it was only a little slower than the Megane in the turns. I wasn't using a turbo at all to get a less insane powerband.

1. Volvo C30 (Mel) - 2:15.868
If the Neon demolishes the straightaways, the Volvo beats up the curves and takes their lunch money. It was able to make up all the time plus a hundredth of a second on the Neon. Need a teammate, Mel?

I don't have a BMW so I couldn't test it.

This one? Should still be relevant.

 

[Furinkazen]

Stock set ups as a base?

 

[sparkytooth]

Preparing a Civic. I feel the EK is superior in every way due to past experience.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Either take the 10 hp, or don't. I am tired of this Season 2 nonsense.


If you think your car's not competitive, prove it. Drive the Mazda, Volvo, SEAT, BMW and Ford before you say that the Honda's not competitive. Just try it.


I'm not going to try to lead some rowdy "we want faster cars!" Crowd today. I'm not in the mood. The government just screwed me out of a few thousand dollars of my own hard-earned money, and I'm not in the mood for arguing.


Yes, I realize that I'm making this personal, but for god's sakes, I'm not dealing with this today. I just want to relax! Please stop arguing with me.

Well stop being so defensive and listen to people and you won't get yourself in such deep 🤬 with others.

 

[polarbear345]

Knew I had to do something to get you to work on it, thanks.

EDIT: Worded poorly

Ment more along the lines of "I knew I had to do something to get you to work on it, didn't want it to go this far. Thanks for putting up with it."

 

[Com Fox]

Almost everyone is happy with the 10bhp but what you said about what if there is a 1-2-3 is where the problem lies now.

Which we won't know until later, so all is good now.

 

[Turbo_snail]

How about we all look forward to friday and practice at grand valley, im still eyeing of a car switch

 

[LancerEvo7]

The football game's away this week, will likely come run the Trollvo.

 

[sparkytooth]

I'm all in for this week. Back at home and kicking back after a horrible holiday.

 

[polarbear345]

We stormed the field last week and broke half the bleachers in our student section

 

[Com Fox]

Guess your right .

 

[sparkytooth]

My Wi-fi's screwing with me so I can't invite you guys to practice/race.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Fair enough, guys.


I'm sorry for blowing up. I'm not mad at you guys.


I'm mad at my government. Very, very mad at my government.


They can't tell me to quit going to college to receive money I worked for, but they seem to think that they can. so I'm just upset today.


Then, toss in the attitude from Season 2, which I promptly left because people were carrying on about everything on the thread instead of being professional about it.

I don't want this season to end up like season 2, but I'm hoping that we can all just get along and be friends.


The fact that we might have a full lobby this week is exciting. 16 cars will be shear chaos and it's pretty crazy to start with.

Time for me to do the old "reverse grid tricks" again...

Andrew - get my PM about the last report?

 

[sparkytooth]

GTP's in a state comparable to youtube comment threads right now. I don't know why, check out some of the GT6 threads and you'll find out.

Yes. Not replying nor mentioning anything about it, yet, until I have a majority vote........ Nas and Willfred.......


And go ahead and try to pass 15 people, I'll do my best to make it impossible. You will not defeat me!!!!!

Welcome to ITCC. You must be new here. GT6 is old news. GT5 is what is currently important, although you are certainly allowed to discuss plans for ITCC in GT6.

 

[sparkytooth]

I'm just pointing out how GTP feels to me right now.

 

[LancerEvo7]

If you think it's bad now, wait until GT6 comes out. It was bad the day GT5 came out.

I only signed up here in January 2012, I'm relatively new as I started actively taking part in threads in october of that year.

 

[Furinkazen]

Mel. I already passed you on outside of Cape Esses last week

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

ITCC thread: relatively safe, calm, quiet place where GT6 is only relevant to Season 4.


GT6 threads: warzone. We're refugees. Don't forget your flight tickets, just in case the wars spill over.

 

[sparkytooth]

I'm a double agent. I'll stick around here though while kicking back and watching GT6 threads turn into a verbal slap-fest.
