That's correct, you are now down to 1170kg again. Remember if you place outside podium again you will lose everything. But I know you will have a problem with that 
Its there to keep the leaderboard close and fun for everyone. So you should learn to take a loss from time to time. Just to come back stronger. It's no fun to have one guy dominating and become the winner 2-3 races before the end of the championship.
Taking a look at the leaderboard its just getting closer and closer. I'm not only looking at the top, but also down on the list. Getting exiting this championship.
And guys, the first corner today.. 👍👍👍👍

Ok m8 i understand this.
Ok then Falco and i have 1170 that is good.
But his NXS is a monster in spa.

Didn't you have a T500RS just lying around, and you play with a DS3 controller.. in my head that qualify for a knock in the head
Well it looks like you can remove some weight for the next race. Look at the rest of us with ballast, 20-40kg stops us up a lot so we miss the podium straight after we get the success ballast. You just keep making your car fly so the ballast keep growing. You know you could actually try making smart races. If you need a 4th you should go for a 4th and lose some ballast.
Remember, in the end two of the races are removed from the scores. The two with the least score.
Its just a regular old thrustmaster this video game doesn't even have it on its steering wheel list. Plus its way off (slip-angle I mean), and I'm about 5 secs slower using it. And not to forget most importantly I need a stable table or rig (which I dont have yet) for the wheel & pedal arrangement so I don't flex the wheel off my weak table or kick my pedals away in mid race.
I'll finish this season off with my Ds3 and get ready with a rig setup for my season 2. I finally just finish paying for my motor rebuild in my dirt bike (CR250), so I will have some available cash by ICGTC Season 4 👍

Actually Falcon was free for ballast and a win gives him 60kg this season, but I promise you the NSX feel that weight more than the GT-R does. One of the reason the GT-R stock weight is adjusted to 1130 as start weight and not the nsx.
And remember Spa is a dynamic weather race, and like Maxitsu said to me on Teamspeak, it wouldn't be realistic if it didn't rain on SPA
Rain could give you the edge over the NSX, so nothing is decided before you see the checkered flag in the end of the race.
JoeTruck:
Ahh I though you said you had the Thrustmaster T500rs. Thats the wheel I have and it's just perfect for GT5. Good thing to know you stay around for the next season as well.

I will be there for the race next week and I hope it rains. I love when it comes down to how well you can control the car not just how well you can dial in the setup. Eau Rouge in 100% wet

When is the monaco race ?
I think the nsx cars will struggle there but I could be wrong .
I have 4 more hours at work then ill go home and watch the replay and send my steward report to Erik , if anyone had any issues during the race please send me a private msg so I can investigate it .

The NSX has always been strong at Monaco, don't worry Skendigi 
Every Monaco race we've ever had has been won by an NSX. Monaco is round 10 btw Skendigi, after Laguna Seca.
I'm honestly believing that the rain makes the game entirely unfair for the NSX drivers. Not only do we have to deal with the balance of the car changing entirely, but we also have the turbo giving us too much power in the wet. It's a lose / lose situation. Suzuka has never been one of my strong tracks anyway, but the fact that even Falcon struggled and Anatasis with little to no practise managed to make it into the top 4 says it all really.
The GT-R handles on rails compared to the NSX, I think I'm one of the only people here that has actually driven both for a good amount of time also. The only way we can not get screwed over by the rain is if we just build a rain set up and ignore the dry.
Even though rain has been an idea I've wanted to put in since I started season 1, I honestly believe it should be removed now.

You owe Erik a drink for that tip .
Well since Monaco has been a nsx track in the past I will have to change things this time around .
I think since we are so limited on weather change tracks , the few we get to enjoy are worth it . I do hate the rain driving but it is part of racing and I myself should practice a lot more in the wet , my 10th place in suzuka is proof of this despite being in the top 5 for most of that race . I just suck in the rain .
Spa in the rain might be the only way to keep close the nsx's but I would prefer a dry race .
We can't predict it , we can only hope and pray

After watching the Suzuka replay over and over again I saw what you did wrong on the wet Arkano, You short shifted and your car actually worked on the rpm area where your car is super strong. I'm not a expert in GT5, but driving like that when it slippery will cause your car to spin. I have some experience with driving on snow in real life and it's more about trottle control and not taking advantage of the strong torque. It's actually better to go on to high rpm in the NSX, but with careful trottle control. Just like it is for the GT-R and Lexus
Your are right about it being easier to drive the GT-R on the wet, but then again Monza the NSX was just over powered. In the end I think the wet gives us a extra dimension in the game.
I did some practice with a LMP on wet, and that makes the NSX super easy compared so it's not a impossible car to drive on the wet.
So in the end, the turbo on the NSX should give you a extra option, you don't have to drive your car at the hardest around 4000-6000 rpm where you have a mountain of torque, but if you have traction and need to be super fast you can. It will cost you more tyre wear, but you can do it if you want.
When that is said, I've seen the problem with the NSX that the torque curve when limiting the cars with the in game limiter doesn't act like a real life limiter. I've been checking out stage 3 engine tune instead with the same amount of BHP on the limiter and it seem to give a more natural torque curve. But to be honest I'm not sure if it makes the NSX to powerful. It's something I would appreciate if a NSX driver could test and compare to a stage 2 turbo. And give a honest feedback on. Could be a change for season 4.
The same thing goes for the Lexus really.
Oh and if you decide to test it.. do so on the rain also, as rain is a natural environment that shouldn't be removed. In door racing is for karting

That's the exact opposite of what the GT5 driving school tells you to do.

I don't think GT5 driving school took every torque curve into consideration when telling that. It was probably written before the limiter was available.

It wasn't that bad, but I don't want to whine more than I already do
This was the original post:
We haven't even seen the speed of the NSX around Spa yet and you're already making assumptions that it'll be a whitewash?
The NSX is overpowered? The GT-R is just as quick, if not quicker than the NSX at all tracks with one or two exceptions (Tokyo for example). Trying to use the excuse that the NSX is overpowered as justification for the extremely unfair advantage the GT-R has in the wet is absurd.
Like I said before, I've been lobbying for weather since I started season 1, but it just doesn't work out fairly imo. And this 'it's just racing' stuff', is all very easy to say when you haven't been on the other side of the fence
Also, don't assume that I'm against it because of my poor performance at Suzuka, this is a general comment.

I do agree with ProPersians earlier post that the NSX is overpowered , there is no way to keep up with it on tracks with long straights , I know people say the tire wear is worst on the NSX but this could be due to all the extra power its making .its not the front tires that wear more its the rears .
Maybe its too early to make a final verdict , I will wait til the end of the season til I give my suggestion/opinion .
And Arkano my Suzuka performance was as poor as it gets , so I'm just as much against rain racing as you are .

I honestly think the NSX should go without a turbo for season 4. In season 1 when both the GT-R and NSX were stock, they were about even in speed and was also easier on the rear tyres where as now the torque from the turbo just kills the rears too fast making it harder to control and much easier to spin than the GT-R.

It's allowed to have turbo stage 2.. It's allowed to have rigidity improvement also, I didn't mount that
It doesn't state you are forced to use the turbo stage 2

Ah I get it now. I was under the impression that we had to use it lol, I think now I'll try the next few races without it in that case.👍
Does that also mean we don't have to limit the power if we don't use the turbo, I shouldn't think so right with it only being 506 bhp?

- ErikAndre71
Well if you decide to go without the turbo you are free to skip the staged entry and the limiter will have to be turned to 100%
The entry limit is 512bhp and with 506 you are way under the limit.
How ever I think it's unfair if you can turn it on and off as you seem fit the track the best. So since this have been misunderstood I will allow you to turn it off, but if you do you should stay without it for the rest of the championship.
Some people scream that the NSX is to powerful with the turbo, but that just come down to what you bother to test before the championship started. I have to admit the time given after the specs were available until the car selection started was maybe to short. But it was talked about for weeks before the PURE car specs were selected.
So it was plenty of time to test and select another car.
We saw in season 2 almost only GT-R on the track and we also now have the majority of GT-R's on the track. But we also have all the 06 NSX and we have two Lexus's on the track. Improvement in my opinion

Immortal and Persian have already proved that the GT-R and Lexus are just as quick as the NSX. The GT-R is quick everywhere, the NSX is only quick on certain tracks, and on certain areas of those tracks.
There's a reason the GT-R is often restricted in all GTP leagues. Anyway, I'm going to stop whining now
