Japanese Classic Racing | Season Finale at Suzuka | 5th Nov '11

[Phouchg]

Last seasons pole was in a 3000GT right? With a time round 1:09:3. Too bad i don't drive that anymore ^^

 

[Mark II Blit]

The 3000's are indeed neat cars to throw are Tsukuba. Very quick.
But is it just me, or are the engine sounds on the naturally aspirated '98 3000GT and GTO models extremely weird?

 

[Sumo098]

They have the bassiest exhaust note in the known Gran Turismo universe. This I knew.

 

[Mark II Blit]

It sounds like a diesel V6. No me gusta 👎

 

[Sumo098]

I can hear them coming from miles away thanks to my massive subwoofer.

 

[Phouchg]

My tv has almost noo bass at all so it isn't that impressive for me. Now that i hear it in my computer subwoofer though wow that's loud ^^

 

[Mark II Blit]

Yeah, I find it rather depressing to listen to.

Atleast the 1995-1996 models sound better, and more realistic.


I wonder why PD thought those cars' exhaust notes should differ so much, when they all have the same engine.

 

[Sumo098]

The tuned exhausts might be set up differently or something. (random guess)

 

[DaxCobra]

Or PD is lazy and just threw any sound on the standards?

 

[Phouchg]

Home from work TL? when will you open the lobby?

 

[DaxCobra]

About half 2 I guess.

Before qualifying starts I want to have a little speech, so I would like you all to join a few mins before qualifying.

And yeah, I'm home.

 

[Phouchg]

And quali starts at 15 British time?

Maybe you should mail all contestants when you open the lobby so that no one forgets. because if people miss the first race they are likely to skip the rest as well..

 

[DaxCobra]

will do.

 

[Madbeater]

Buzzing!!! Internet is back on...

 

[Mark II Blit]

Half two in British time is 72 minutes from now, right?

 

[DaxCobra]

Yeah but the race is at half 3

 

[Phouchg]

isn't half two brittish time right now?

 

[DaxCobra]

its half 1 right now, room opens in 1 hr

 

[Mark II Blit]

You mean it's half past 1, right?

It'll open half past two, if I understand correctly.

In Scandinavian languages, half one = 12:30, hence the confusion.

 

[Phouchg]

Hah stop confusing me ^^ you can't leave the "past" in half past out or we will get reeally confused in sweden. let's use digital clock from now on. it's 13:30 in british time right now and you open lobby at 14:30 yes?

 

[DaxCobra]

Correct 👍

 

[SmittMan]

My Connection has been messing up on FIFA today but let's hope it is just because it's a new game and not my unreliable Internet connection.

 

[DaxCobra]

going out for 30 mins, will be back in time to open the room ofcourse <3

Sure you will be fine, Irish

 

[Mark II Blit]

Can you set the Race Finish Delay to 180 seconds so I have a chance of finishing?

 

[Phouchg]

I'm getting more consistent now, my only worry is that my best laps are round lap 13 ^^ will never get in that many in quali.. But I have something in my memory telling me that the tires get warm faster in online races?

 

[Sumo098]

Nope, they warm up a lot slower...

 

[Phouchg]

But i mean compared to my lobby? maybe it's the same?

 

[Sumo098]

Ah, it will be the same then.

 

[Phouchg]

I wonder how to get the tires up to temperature faster.. maybe do a lot of sliding in the first laps..

 

[The_Boyce]

Got my car. Its a Mitsubishi GTO SR 98
