With draft at Spa you can actually keep up with a faster car , I traded places with him a few laps but he got in the pits before me and that was it for me .

Yeah i saw you 2 both pit at same time i think? thats what messed it up for you, as you could have drafted him all the way to the back of me and maybe all the way to Seth

It seems to be the earlier you pit the more advantage you get
 
I had a slight advantage in that I started on softs but the problem was my start. I could have stayed up front but got confused as where the start line was. That caused me to get tangled up with calum. I was trying to drive away and get a lead but instead had to drive to the front during the first couple laps. That cost me some time and tire for my 1 stopper. I never dropped lower than 2:22 on my tires in the semi-dry to complete dry. Consistency payed off imo. Monza will be a draft battle and if you lose it the front pack will pull away.

It was a well deserved victory. Your first in JSTC is it not?

Monza may be Much like last season. Once you lose the draft you in no mans land. But now we have the soft tyres available people could pit and use those first few laps to close the gap to the car in front.

Anything is possible. My pitstop at Spa put me like 30s off the lead and I clawed it back while Seth was fighting Calum lol.

The softs were a really good addition IMO I've made a different strategy work twice now, coming back from last to 4th at Fuji and the Spa race. Much more exciting than everyone pitting at half way point to put on another set of Mediums
 
I've compiled one now


MRS 554
Celica 550
RX-7 547
Lexus 566
Garayia 548
Subaru P 560

Joe and Zach run a great series and this is the only way I'm coming back. Unless the hackers can manipulate the PP system.

I'm sorry to have had to be this way guys, but this one of my favorte games. I want to be beat by people that are legit racers. All of you are as far as I'm concerned. To be beat by someone who can only win by cheating isn't fun.

Alot of us don't run full downforce. Does that mean that we all run full aero all the time or do we do PP check with full aero, then check the cars that have ballast with full aero. Then let the guys set their aero back to what they race it at?


I would normally PM you on something like this, but this needs to be known by all here. It has taken alot of thougt to want to say this to you because I like racing with you. freshseth your buddy franko should never be allowed to be anywhere near any series. He is one of those people that should be banned from GT Planet and if it was up to me, he would be. Hacks and cheaters don't belong here. 👍

To be honest it's been good racing with you guys and I'll remember all those dices.
Im getting bored of these 300 cars so I might switch it up end of season, but we'll see.

👎 Sorry, but Franko doesn't even race here, so what you're saying is pointless. You may want to tone down your bias as well, there a lots of guys who run with modified cars here on GTPlanet. There's even a series with modified cars about to be up and running. What Franko has to do with any of this is beyond me. He doesn't run in this series, and if you don't like modified cars why did you ask him for one? :rolleyes:

In addition, what benefits having more downforce from these cars? They're already slow on the straight, more aero pushes your top speed down even lower and you'll be a sitting duck. The gain from having more downforce in the corners is minimal. This isn't formula 1 with 750hp cars where taking corners at max speed is necessary.

Those PP figures are for max downforce. We tried them out last night and everyone complied.
While yes someone could run low downforce they can't manipulate the BHP and weight as we still do those checks. We are checking BHP weight and seeing if the downforce limit has been exceeded.
We can't physically do anymore checking of the regs lol

A note to make - anybody believed to be hacking will have a very tight check to pass. I will not state this check as otherwise people may find a way to boycott it, but it will consist of multiple BHP weight and Aero checks
 
To my knowledge, if you 'hack' your car to have more downforce, you can't change the level of downforce on it without resetting it to it's normal levels. Therefor you gain nothing in the PP checks because you'll be back at the levels the car originally has because you'll have to reduce the downforce #. By doing that you switch the car back to what it normally was unless your car is a total hybrid- which is stupid to run here because the values are totally wrong.

Thanks for the info Seth. I know very little about this whole hacking thing other than you can change most of the values lol. And that I only came across by reading a league with hacked cars

prehaps swap to either something faster like gt500 or a one make on short tracks

Those are some powerful words from someone who practically begged me for a hacked car.

I personally wouldn't do a single modification for it to be used to cheat, all I did, I created cars according to their official specifications, because specs for some cars in GT5 are plainly wrong.

I did create some cars for fun (Prius GT300, wheelie Camaro, Hayabusa Fiat 500...) but those never left my garage, and are pretty obvious to spot.....

On a different note, the aero settings can be increased beyond their in-game limit, but as Seth said, cannot be changed or they'll revert to original limit.

Also, just to warn you guys, grip can be increased, there is also a multiplier for this, but thankfully the pp system recognizes this, and the pp increases dramastically.

If anybody has any concern or questions, they are free to contact me, I'll be happy to provide assistance. :)

There was no begging for them to begin with. I asked for them and you and seth gave them to me. Don't sit and make me look bad because you can create hacked cars. Look at what hackers did to Sony. Hacking and manipulating things to an advantage isn't right. Just because you don't feel that they made the aero right and a few other things not right in the game, doesn't give you the right to hack into it to change it how you see fit.
So you had no clue I was asking for them to expose you and everyone else who manipulates these cars. Do you see me in any more of freashseths series. You stated to me yourself you can manipulate them. seth, you're just as much to blame for letting it happen and now sticking up for him.

If you both think I'm the bad guy for bringing this to everyones attention, you both are very wrong.

Seth, I have no intention of running in your hack car series. I hate cheating on any level.

Interesting, that explains all of the requests for the Nissan R390 at 900 kg and Yellowhat Supra with more aero?

Also, if you think adding a bit more aero or removing a few kgs is the same what hackers did to Sony almost two years ago, you are greatly mistaken. I intend to do no harm with this.

In the future, if you have something to say it to me. Directly. Do not go around on the forums spreading b**ls**t.

Btw, Joe, sorry I went off topic in your thread, I realize this is not the place for this.

I asked for the R390 to expose the the manipulation of the weight to cars, but I didn't get it. I was waiting for your program to to get it. I would have exposed your program also if I had gotten it too.

You should be sorry to the whole racing community for doing hack cars. you should be banned. I also have a right to my fellow racers and friends to expose you and anyone else hacking and manipulating cars to the racing community.

It is still hacking and still wrong. For some reason you think that this is right.

Shame, I thought you were a decent guy.....

I am a decent guy and my parents raised me this way and I raised my own son to be a decent guy. I spent 8 years in the Army to be a decent guy. I don't however spend my time hacking and manipulating games and defending myself for it.
I wasn't raised to do the wrong things in life. I was brought up to do the right things. So don't insult my intelligence by defending your hacking and manipulating of a game.
Please go somewhere else where you can be praised for your abilities to hack and manipulate the game. I don't think you'll get any praise here except for freshseth. He seems to think hacking and manipulating the game is ok.
I'm supposed to be a decent guy for you hacking and manipulating? My mom would slap my face for being a decent guy like that. The military would have put me in the stockaid for it and my son would have grown up hating me for being a decent guy like that. Sure glad I was raised to be a decent guy the way you thought I was.

You're not hurting my feelings, or my series. My series isn't a hack car series btw. :lol: What's funny is you were just running there a week ago and had no problems, now you changed face like your alternate ego came out. Save the banter, spare me the pity party. I have no desire to have dealings with guys like you who flip flop one week to the next. Besides, this thread is JSTC not my other series. 👎

Another thing- this isn't 'hacking' a game. This is altering YOUR save game data. Note, that's YOUR save game data. What you do with your property is your own business. If you don't want to run cars that are altered to their real world values (i.e. CLK-LM @900kg), I told you that you could run the other class. Don't go spreading your dislike of something as 'cheating' and labeling individuals as cheaters or say they should be banned. You're not in that position. And if you're the respectable individual you say you are then you would heed the words I'm saying. What people do with their game is none of your business. If you don't like it don't partake in it. That's that.

Are you guys all stupid? What does this have to do with this series? Take your bickering somewhere else.

And to TnT, I'm not attacking you in anyway but you should know this. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making or using hybrid cars as long as you don't try and enter them into sanctioned races that don't allow them. That being said, DO NOT reply to this. You guys should take this garbage to PM's or something.

Whats wrong with you guys... These arguments are a plague to this series. STFU.

I had no problems running there a week ago because I was running the spec that my R390 is allowed. I won't run in your altered car series because they are altered cars that shouldn't even be allowed.. But I refuse to run in any of your others, because niether of you see this as wrong and that it is still manipulating the cars in the game.
Quit defending it seth. I took you off my friends list so you don't have to worry about it.

Sorry everyone that this ended up here. 👎

On another note:
Monza 1:52.649 mediums so far with 35/50 aero. 👍
 
Hey joe, Sign me up as a reserve in the Subaru '03, I will make what I can, 👍

Also TNT, we were running 1.50s at Monza IIRC from season 1,

Don't preach what you believe as if it's gospel. Thats too bad that you don't want to participate, but like I said. It doesn't bother me. No one is running modded cars in my series'. If you have a problem with that, well, that's your problem.
 
Why don't you ignore it if it bothers you? There is no argument. All that's been said is said, there needn't be anything else spoken on the matter afaic.
 
Guy, I posted while you guys were still bickering. How can you possibly fail to realize you (and others also) are just loading this thread with trash, that is not the kind of conversation you have openly in someone else's thread.. How would you like it if joe and zack went to your series thread and had some stupid ass argument that made it look like a bunch of hooligans were in the series.. I didn't say it because it bothers me. I said it for the guys that run this series. They don't need this crap here.

Please realize I am not trying to argue with you or single you out. Please do not reply, and please (to EVERYONE) have some respect for the guys that make this series and run it attentively. They put a lot of behind the scenes effort into things like this.

That's cool. Don't call people stupid.

Seriously guys take it else where

No, it doesn't need to go anywhere. Not even here. All it is is a difference of opinion. But the labels need to be dropped.
 
I'll take it to PM's after I say this ;)

This isn't word for word, And I didn't look it up....

But the expression of different opinions........ IS AN ARGUMENT.

And this one happens to be stupid.
 
I only agree with you that this is off topic. I really hope we can get more interest and have more people challenge up front. Last race was great to see the grid mixed up.
 
I just wish I wasn't busy every saturday. Between getting wasted chasing my favorite women and working I haven't been able to make one race yet.
