How about autumn ring mini reverse instead of forward.

For a custom track, we could use my lemons circuit. I never got to run it last season.

 

[BTK]

I don't have a problem with reverse, I'd like to make a couple and test them. Your's was great, just the first section didn't flow well.

 

[Benz-27]

Sorry BTK, really getting bored with GT5 and I need to finish the semester on a strong note so I'm taking a GT5 hiatus. I may be able to make a few races here and there but I won't be on that much.

On Comfort Mediums? Well hell yeah, some serious competition!

 

[BTK]

That's no big deal Benz, if you change your mind lmk.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

I tried to refresh a dome zero that I lightened for some reason. The game only reduced the miles to zero but left all the parts.

Weird, I hadnt chimed in yet...

Note the post I link to in this thread as I was equally dumbfounded by PD's description of the "car refresh coupon". Notice it states (the coupon) all parts added will be lost yet they remain, especially the irreparable ones such as weight reduction and engine tuning (stage 1,2,3):

I will be Bill Murray and you can be Scarlett Johanson ooo-la-la....

Can I be Russel Crowe?

Alright then, we'll do this:

Preseason- Jan. 4th GVE-R 50 laps- CM

6th- Feb. 15/22? SSR5/7? 30/6? laps-SH

7th- 22/29? (Leap Year Bash?) Track unknown, you all pick. Sport Mediums.

I'll toss the SSR7 idea, I don't think anyone would go for it. As for the last race, any suggestions? I'd prefer to do something that we haven't done at all or in a while.

We can try:

-GVE-R
-Grand Valley
-Eiger Reverse
-Eiger forwards weather change (even if weather we still run SM, not RR or RI.)
-Cape Ring Periphery
-Top Gear Test Track???: Would be light damage with 2 or more shorter races.
-Madrid Forwards (Sounds fun)
-Rome forwards (we always run reverse, it gets old.)

Also, I'm going to alter certain prices of parts to help the N/A cars.

ENGINE TUNING 1- 1000
ENGINE TUNING 2- 3000
ENGINE TUNING 3- 6000

LOW RANGE TURBO- 3500
MID RANGE TURBO- 6000
HIGH RANGE TURBO- 10000

F/C TRANSMISSION- 6000

The reason the Engine tuning is cheaper, is because it requires 1 and 2 to get three. Make sense? Thoughts on the prices?

Can I be Russel Crowe?

Sure but I don't recall him being in Lost in Translation.

Yup comfort meds. I think I will practice before every Lemons race with the Trans-Cammer or F40 on CS w/o ABS. Makes these lower PP cars ridiculously easy to drive.

 

[BTK]

Yes they do, and no, Russel Crowe wasn't but he could've been.

RESPOND TO MY MONEY QUESTIONS DAMN YOU.

 

[morbo]

i like the idea of cape ring periphery

grand valley would be good too

i guess it's time to find a car to drive

 

[chuyler1]

Money looks good.

 

[cenk]

I want to join you guys but I might miss some february races..I have an older MR2 sitting at 351 after engine/chassis rebuild and 200-250 miles of racing, would that work if I apply the limiter ?

No limiter. I'll get BTK to add that to the OP since it's been asked a couple of times now.

 

[BTK]

Sorry about that guys, I didn't realize I left it out.

I've created a custom Toscana track, that I think would be a blast in Lemons, it's short, about 1.00 minute lap times, and I've got it shared. It would be greatly appreciated if you all could drive on it and see what you think.

Track:

Ok, I also like the idea of Cape Ring for the final race, if someone would like to suggest something else, go right ahead.

I'll find something 350 no worries dabneyd

Uh yeah sure, looks good...you guys have done this 4 times already.

 

[BTK]

I know but it's all been changed from the previous lol.

THOSE PRICES ARE EXCELLENT HOWEVER, I THINK THE PRICE POINT FOR THE FC TRANNY WAS GOOD AT $7500. WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE CHEAPER? ANSWER!!!!

Also, I vote for Grand Valley.

 

[BTK]

those prices are excellent however, i think the price point for the fc tranny was good at $7500. Why does it need to be cheaper? Answer!!!!

Also, i vote for grand valley.

we'll change it to $7,500 then. That's one for cape ring, one for grand valley, don't forget to test my custom track. First turn is epic.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Oooo Hamburgers!

 

[esh]

I know but it's all been changed from the previous lol.

Ah but I didn't pay attention to what you guys did last time.

I vote for Tsukuba, 100,000 laps...

 

[BTK]

We raced step-down raceway last night, got some pretty good reviews. So we'll use it for the season. You can download and practice from my profile, I have it uploaded.

 

[dudeondacouch]

This looks neat. Count me in.

 

[MemorableC]

also spa sounds good as a season ender, if the host has it
