Once I exit the photocave and recover my vision I'll upload some new shots and start looking at my options.

Psssh. I've seen 14 yr olds drink strong 🤬 down here.

No worries though, I'm cleaner than a hacked slate.

Sure. Are there laws against that in Venezuela?

Not a surprise... Modern teens are sometimes just...

What are you saying about us?

Despite having just asked that question, I'm taking this to VMs.

Once I exit the photocave and recover my vision I'll upload some new shots and start looking at my options.

Seriously? VMs are your friend.

[ITCC_Andrew]

HSR? High Speed Ring? In!

 

[nascarfan1400]

Lol shut up.

 

[sparkytooth]

I'm not into enduros anymore

 

[nascarfan1400]

Cool story bro?

 

[sparkytooth]

I'm too old

Nah my problem is having to stand up for a full hour if I want to stay competitive.

 

[Turbo_snail]

No, put it back a week I wanna race,make it Sunday, anything pleassessssse

 

[nascarfan1400]

Would Sunday of THIS week work?

 

[Siggers]

What is happening here?

I have to agreed with these. I think you just can't compare races times like this you doing now.
Only qualification times are comparable 👍
(i did stop quali after i did that under 1:32)

Quali and features races are not same. They are different races on different day and different drivers. No way like this 👎

Race times cannot be compared. Different race, different set of events.

~runs back~.

I know what I'll do win race one in group A then deliberately tank race one in B to start first in race two and win that.

Now I have the fastest time in both feature races...

That is an example of why this doesn't work, not even going into contact, battling etc which all slows a race down..

I just don't like the idea of winning a race on Friday night and then logging on Sunday morning to see you've been knocked back to fourth or something. If circumstances/crashes slow you down that's just a fact of life in my opinion. I don't see why a second chance system is needed.

^I agree to all of this. Yes the actual racing is close and good, but with this system the championship(s) is a shambles. Comparing two groups just makes it a time trial rather than a race.

 

[sparkytooth]

Bathurst is officially confirmed

What do you say about it's inclusion in ITCC 4 Andrew (I'm going nuts with all these new tracks )?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

ITCC Season 4 schedule addition!​

Mount Panorama/Bathurst will be in ITCC Season 4. I am confirming it now.


For those of you who don't know:


It's been announced by Polyphony Digital.


This means we get Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Bathurst, Matterhorn, Willow Springs, and Apricot Hill as confirmed ITCC circuits for ITCC 4. Among the possible soon-to-be-announced circuits is Seattle, which may or may not be confirmed by PD.

Europe Tour:

5 Rounds:

Brands Hatch GP
Silverstone National
Nürburgring GP/D
Autodromo Internazionale di Monza
Circuito de Madrid




Asia Tour:

4 Rounds

Twin Ring Motegi East (if it's free)
Suzuka East
Bathurst/Mount Panorama
Tokyo R246


North American Tour:

3 Rounds:

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Willow Springs International Raceway (main track, not Horse Thief mile, if applicable)
Indianapolis Motor Speedway


Polyphony Digital World Tour:


8 Rounds:

High Speed Ring
Cape Ring Inside
Autumn Ring
Deep Forest Raceway
Grand Valley Speedway East
Trial Mountain Circuit
Apricot Hill Raceway
Matterhorn (layout unknown)​

We're close to nudging 25 rounds. We've already got 21 rounds. Crap. So many good tracks! Which ones do we remove?

 

[sparkytooth]

NONE OF THEM

Except maybe Indy and Madrid.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

NONE OF THEM

Nineteen rounds, still, and that's after removing Madrid, one of my personal favourite ITCC courses. Indy could go, if there were more American circuits on the list, but I feel bad for leaving them out, a bit.


What would be cool, would be if the next circuits announced are Seattle 💡 and Sonoma OR Road Atlanta OR Mid-Ohio OR VIR, since those circuits are also epic touring car circuits in America. Then we could remove Indy and not have any problems. Indy's not much of a touring car circuit, but...

 

[sparkytooth]

Madrid is passable, I'd prefer you ax Indy more.

You can still get rid of Cape Ring/High speed Ring or the second Tokyo R246.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

second Tokyo R246.

Oh. Oh crap.

sSeeing as Daytona has night cycle, we need night race there.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Tracks I might cut-out of ITCC 4:


- Tsukuba - already chopped because 9 hr. endurance ruined it.
- Indy Motor Speedway - not a big fan, FFs show their understeery side here too much, because there's no banking except on the oval bit
- High Speed Ring - may be chopped because ITCC isn't NASCAR
- Cape Ring - fun circuit, if it's done right, but I'm not sure everyone enjoys it. People should also tell me whether they prefer the Cape Ring Inside or South layout
- Deep Forest - somewhat awkward turn before the cliff, everyone hits the cliffs and it causes relatively big crashes

sSeeing as Daytona has night cycle, we need night race there.

I'm waiting 'til after Season 3's Daytona race to consider it, we've never even raced there yet/before.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Ok

 

[sparkytooth]

I don't even know about Mount Panorama's layout.

Ninja over to wikipedia

R.I.P Allan Simonsen, you were a fast dude.

 

[sparkytooth]

I like this place already.

 

[polarbear345]

No rovals. They really don't belong here.

Hopefully they update Indy's roadcourse to the new layout after the game releases... Though I doubt they will.

You shouldn't include all the tracks the first go on GT6. Do some of them, then change them for different courses the following season to keep things fresher. (Than Seth...)

@Sparky... You have never seen a lap of Bathurst?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

That's precisely why I'm so happy to see it in. It's going to be a single-file train of cars through that mountain-top section with all of the esses. I can already see a few Mazdas, a few Volvos, a few Fords, and a few BMWs driving right through there in single file, waiting for the chance to pass. Then, you get to the hairpin just before the straightaway, and go full speed and try to make your pass there or thereafter. 👍 👍 Should be good, patient racing.

Interesting. I'm thinking Indy's out of ITCC 4.


As for saving some tracks to add later, notice how I'm leaving Spa out? And Monaco, and Rome, and... many other tracks? SSR5, Daytona, and whichever tracks we remove from ITCC 4 can go into ITCC 5.

 

[sparkytooth]

I hope this works well with the new aero simulation.

I hope this works well with the new aero simulation.

Why wouldn't it?

 

[LancerEvo7]

If I were you, I'd focus on ITCC 3 before I worried about ITCC 4.

 

[sparkytooth]

I just hope they improve the aero simulation greatly in GT6.
