HST Track Days - Thursday's at 8pm EST - Fun, Friendly Racing for all skill levelsOpen

It was an honest guess but I had a feeling in my gut. And yes, it's one of the two. Not telling which one or which year.

Consider the RS200? Shorter wheelbase might mean less understeer all around.

I did but personal preference interfered. Plus, I can deal with some understeer because I'll be packing some serious power.

 

[BionicDerp]

Dude, it's the Rotenboden and Eiger's short track. Be careful with that power. I've gone for lightness and handling. Wanna have a duel? xD

I don't see why not. Agility v.s. Torque would be an interesting battle to see any day.

Well, it weighs 857 kgs, and has 308 hp with 283.9 ft-lbs of torque. It's no slouch.

4WD, bro. Ahhh, watch me end up losing the races to you.

Nah. I'll lag out again. xD


You'll deff get me in the dirt stages though.

Hey Hey. I should be in tonight, we're still on 86GT's? Do variants mean FR-S and BRZ? What are the peoples driving?

 

[jay*doc]

Yep, all cars based on the 86GT.

Last week was a 50/50 split of 86GT and 86GT Base Model. The PP is only 410, so theres not much in terms of upgrades, but you can still do the suspension and trans and a few upgrades.

 

[Severn]

Roger that.

 

[GTRacer22]

I'll be in tonight, love Big Willow. With the Scioybaru, it should be fun taking those corners at high speeds! 👍

 

[euclid58]

March Madness..... lets do this....

 

[jay*doc]

Hey guys, I may not be able to make it tonight. I'll open the room but I most likely won't be present.

Sorry for the short notice.

 

[GTRacer22]

The room is up and Severn is hosting, so join!

Here's hoping people aren't having issues connecting with me as host and it being friends only...

 

[euclid58]

Is there a room number ? Cant find it..

 

[Severn]

One sec, I'll recreate as public.

[DriftinAssassin]

It looks like it may be a low turn out tonight. If that's the case I may or may not pass on tonight.

In better news, the video I was working on about the first 86 GT race at Silverstone is finally up and here it is for your enjoyment!

[jay*doc]

How'd it go last night?

 

[BionicDerp]

First race was won by Severn, with a split of .111 with me in second. Second race was won by g8rcers, who put on a crazy tune, and the third race was a little spread out besides a three way battle between me, gr8, and Severn for a few laps. I didn't stay for the last one.

With only 4 guys left on the last one we goofed off, dropped the laps down to 5 and set the time to midnight. With it being cloudy and no moon... we were cracking jokes about the Vin Diesel "Pitch Black" movie

EDIT: I believe I saved all the replays (I may have missed the second race) but I haven't had a chance to go back and review them yet.

 

[GTRacer22]

I've got all replays but the first one. Last night was a blast.... I was surprised at what I did with the tune... It was unbelievable - my car was so bad in race 1, I just parked it because it drove like a brick. Next race, slap on a tune, and bam win by so much you wouldn't believe it.. I felt it would be cheap if I did another race in that car so I switched to the base model car so it could be a closer battle

 

[Lieuthor]

Fun time the other night! This may surprise you all, based on my race performance, but my knowledge of cars is like my knowledge of women; I know what looks good but have no idea what makes them run. I'm curious if you have any tips on transmission, suspension, or drive train. Just basic rules of tuning? Or suggestions on good tutorials?

Thanks for putting up with the newbie, guys! I'm enjoying HST.

 

[jay*doc]

Can get an Impreza and one of the same year in rally form? Or is it buy 2 of the same models and race mod 1? By the way thanks for the stickers @jay*doc will post a pic when I place one!

 

[jay*doc]

@3forSpeed you have it right with the first one. Use any street car and mod to your liking, then for the rally races use the basic same make and model as close as possible, but in a rally version.


I have a practice room open for week 1 now.

 

[DriftinAssassin]

So if someone, totally not me, were to use say an '07 Impreza then would that someone, that isn't me, be allowed to use the WRC Impreza rally car? Or are we talking like the Base Model cars that we can paint and chose a number to slap on there?

You're using the 2007 Impreza, aren't you?

Anyway, I have one car ready to go, but there is another car I'm curious of racing, and I'll try it tonight.

Nope, I explicitly stated that it wasn't me with the Impreza but don't be surprised if I show up with one.
