Well after seeing some of the upload speeds here I do think lowering the room quality to Standard is the best solution, so my room is now at Standard race quality and Low voice quality. This means less demanded traffic to our connection and I do think we wont feel any different.
Room is also open if you guys want to join
(since there is now formula1 today you guys have no excuse so come on in) 👍

That make the test slow.

In open rooms you have the option to set the room to fixed ownership, so instead of you having to send your data to everyone you send the information to the room owner. Then the room owner will send the information to the others in the room for you. The room owner will handle a lot of traffic, but the rest in the room will handle a lot less.
We could do a open room, I see more than one championship here on GTP do it, but there are some problems with that too. First of all we would have random people joining before the room is full. Could cause us not to be able to join before they are kicked out. And if a player disconnect we will have a open slot and since the room is open we will get the same thing happen. Could be really annoying to see the window pop up during the race to tell everyone that some random guy joined to room.
I personally like the private lounge, as it is much more.. private
But it do require more internet speed of the people racing in it. The fixed open room also allow people with NAT3 to join, witch a private lounge do not. But a room with fixed ownership dies if the host disconnect.

why is that unbelievable??
your putting yourself at a disadvantage from the start of the race.
Its like in formula 1 , you never see any of the top teams starting on the prime tire , they always start on the option . its more the mid level and back runners who start on the prime harder tire .
My plan for that race was to start on soft which i did i qualified 3rd , i would run my first 2 stints on the soft , then pit for hards run the 6 laps and then pit back for soft . I would be finishing on soft when hopefully and more than likely others would be finishing on the hard.

You're more unlikely to win the race, but you more likely to finish with a solid position.

Well after doing 2 laps more than needed on hard tyres on Suzuka I placed second behind a dominating C-Falcon, but I parked guys like IMMORTALPILOT, GP-CiaN and the rest of the guys in the field. It's a difficult tactic, when you have to see everyone goes faster than you in the start, but if you stay calm and just push it to the limit your first couple of laps on hard will be faster in the beginning of the race.
First of all, the guys on soft do not go as fast as when they are alone on the track. They have to go a lot slower to avoid collisions and make room for others, so it's not that difficult to keep up with the field on hard tyres.
And when your car is the most heavy your hard tyres will warm up a lot quicker than when your fuel tank is almost empty.
Also when adding ballast to your car the soft tyres seem to wear a lot faster, so if you start on hard you can get rid of some fuel and put soft on. Then they last a lap or two longer or you can push them harder.
I been testing a lot and in the end it comes down to the total time spent on track before you pass the finish line. On some tracks making passes are pretty hard even if you are faster than the guy in front so on tracks like this it could be smart to have the hard in the last stint, but after being pushed to a standstill at Monaco because the guy behind me acted like a fool I decided I never end a race on hard again. Lucky for this guy this was before fast forward replay showed up in gt5 and I couldn't bother watching the entire replay 2-3 times to check if it was a penalty or not

id have to try that on a track where the difference in the soft/hard times isnt that great , but it was about a 6 second difference at gvs. 6x6 is 36 , so after 6 laps i would be down 36 laps thats not good at all. but i guess it evens out cuz the guys on soft will have to run hard and then they will lose 36 seconds.
ill still always start on soft :0
interesting point there erik

I like starting on softs for a simple reason, to avoid missing the bus. At Fuji I was following immortal and GP at the start which gave a massive boost to my times on a full tank. I might try starting on hards for one race, the idea of getting some wheelspin to warm those rears is very appealing.

my thoughts also. 👍
you hope some "soft" drivers screw up at the start or don't drive away fast becaus they are fighting.... and it is not a big disaster when there is a pile up. It worked just perfectly for me at the first 2 starts at GVS.
the third time it didn't went well becaus someone pushed me into te gravel, and i had a moment offcourse in the hairpin. but then i started to comeback....
If i feel the car isn't fast enough i like to start on hards. becaus usual on soft i screw it up in the first corners.

Well I had a hard time with people around me obviously not capable of enough upload so I only saw people morphing around. And due to the lag I didn't want to take any chance of blasting someone off the track so I started out a bit careful. Unlike someone almost pushing me off track to get through the pack 👎
You have my vote

I was already aware of that and I do share your concern. Should stick to a private lounge to be honest

You were insane, in one corner, i did take it okay on the inside line and you just came around me on the outside line like i was standing still or something.

i put the brake balance to F 10 and R 0 to warm my front tires:idea:
i was accerating and stopping as much as i can.. i was doing o-100 and 100-0 you can say
So you just ignored that we should stay at 80km/h?
