I'm not going to make Daytona, but I will make each race after in ST class

 

[NingDynasty]

If you can, otherwise we'll just tally it on our end. However we'll field two cars each race and the drivers of each team will do 2 events each.

I can combine them for the team standings, but I don't think it's fair to everyone else if I combine 3 drivers results in the individual drivers standings.

Sorry for DP, want this post to stand on it's own. If anyone has any questions about what is posted below, please ask!

 

[NingDynasty]

Yep, since there are two classes we can really do up to 32 racers. 👍

Nice, I'll do some testing and fill out that selection form.

Hi! *Calcium Kid wave*

 

[NingDynasty]

Alright Lets try and even this out a bit. We'll take a Mustang in GS and RUF 3400S in ST, nice 10/6 Split.

No need unless you really want to, I just put the 1-10 as I didn't expect more than that. Right now we're at a full room, but if someone else comes along we'll have to split the classes into separate rooms. If that happens, I will host GS and probably not race. @WiiFreak could you host ST?

 

[NingDynasty]

We had a team meeting about it we'd like one in each. Filling out some forms now.

Wish we could keep the multiclass racing involved even if we split as thats one of the best parts of the series.

Sorry for muddling the classes up a bit, we just wanted to be on the same team. 👍

Had nothing to do with you, we we're discussing it last night already.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Wow, looks to be a full room already! Guess I'll be a reserve for this one.

 

[WiiFreak]

@R1600Turbo I'll host ST 👍

Yeah, but unfortunately when you run out of room you run out of room.

No need, if you're ready to race there's plenty of room. Let me know though, as your entry would be the deciding factor on splitting the classes up.

@R1600Turbo I'll host ST 👍

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions.

 

[NingDynasty]

Could split each class in 2 then combine times in the end.

With the threat of weather, that wouldn't work this time around. I'm ok with separating each class since the ST cars are slower anyway, but splitting each individual class wouldn't work if one room has heavy rain and the other doesn't.

 

[NingDynasty]

no rain here man, I was at the beach all day here in the sunny FLA.

That's what I'm going off of. Edit: According to the radar it's starting east of you and moving to the east. Daytona is currently under threat of rain.

What sort of times are GS guys achieving?

It is a struggle in the mustang.. Seemed to be .2 off the pace of the 370z I ran into today.. Split times are dead even till the bus stop. Then I lose .5 .... The 370 handles so nice and changes direction really good and only has a 1 MPH deficit @ 1000 meters from 50 MPH compared to the Boss.. Hard to compete with a car that is lighter and has a better top end at this track.. But top 5 I'll be happy..

The 370Z is lighter, and did hit a higher top speed in testing (only 1mph - 160 vs 161) but the Mustang ran a faster lap time, .638 vs .707.

Not saying they aren't balanced, Just saying it is a struggle for the Boss to keep up with the 370 in the bus stop.. You are talking default tunes I assume.. The difference you mention could have been getting on the throttle a split second earlier..Could have went either way. But this track should favor the Boss as it does in real life, other tracks it may be ugly for us is all I'm saying.. Could be me. I got a best of 1:56.274 in the Boss and have seen a 370 run a 1:56.0.. Definitely got my work cut out for me is all I'm saying. looking forward to the challenge. just know from experience of running an CTSCC series that the 370 will be fast everywhere especially tighter courses..

Also, what happens after 160? The mustang shifts to 6th and has 0 power and the other cars like the BMW and Aston and 370z keep going 165+. Just mentioning it before any races start. I'm sticking with the mustang either way. I want to try and win in it. Should be a good challenge.. Daytona should be the only track that we exceed 160MPH anyway..

Less than 3 tenths of a second is what? A car length? That small of a difference over a whole lap at Daytona to me makes them very even.

I recorded 160 at the start/finish line. You shouldn't have to shift between there and turn 1. Should be able to hit 165 either...

Edit: Oh, the the tune I used on the 370 was an old one I've had for a while, can't remember where I got it. I used the same car in an old GT4 cup. The Mustang tune came from the tuning section on GTP.
