Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen 

Good races, thankfully the format works even with small numbers. :3 Sorry @Torzilla for not warning that I had cancelled the pit stop for the first race, during the race I just assumed you had picked up damage (since I also accidentally left heavy damage on :embarrassed: ).

No worries @Cu3e , I know the feeling. I did 5 hours of racing and practice on Friday and 3 hours yesterday, my left foot especially is pretty worn out. :crazy:

I think you did say that the pit was cancelled and I forgot because I'm a genius. I had picked up some damage anyway so I would've pitted regardless.
 
Getting physically worn out from GT6? Wow. Still, I'd prefer having a sore foot after five hours over numb fingers and mental burnout after 40 minutes. I'll get a wheel eventually. It's just that I'm kinda racing on a budget here, and the only two force feedback wheels I know of that are compatible with both PS3 and PS4 are way out of budget right now.
 
After much testing in the Time Trial thread and a test race here, i'd like to introduce you to a new list available for shuffling now:

Track Day Specials
(tires: Sports Medium)
  1. Spoon Civic Type R (EK) '00
  2. Trial Celica SS-II (ZZT231) '03
  3. Spoon S2000 '00
  4. Nismo 400R '96
  5. Gran Turismo 350Z RS
  6. Nismo Skyline GT-R R-tune (R34) '99
  7. Amuse Nismo 380RS Super Leggera
  8. High End Performance G37
  9. Shelby Series One Super Charged '03
  10. Opera Performance S2000 '04
  11. Nismo Fairlady Z Z-tune (Z33) '03
  12. RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7
  13. KTM X-Bow Street '12
  14. Amuse S2000 GT1 '04
  15. Nissan GT-R Nismo '14
Tuned to the max and glued to the track, these should guarantee an exciting race experience! 👍
Thanks to @snowgt for conception and @amarynceos, @GT_Alex74 and @SuzukaStar for testing!

And to introduce them with a bang, we'll do a Special Tracks Day on Friday, 18:30 UTC: one list, five tracks!

I would suggest these tracks:
  • Suzuka 2014
  • Laguna Seca
  • Midfield
  • Spa Francorchamps
  • Fuji GP
See you there! :gtpflag:
 
I won't be there tomorrow, but I can make it on Friday. I see the Track Day list has had a couple changes. Those are some decent track suggestions too. I really enjoy Suzuka, but it has been a while since the last time I've driven on Fuji.

Series 27 -- Event 2
Wednesday 05 August 2015
2:30 pm US EDT / 11:30 am US PDT / 7:30 pm BST / 8:30 pm CEST / 18:30 UTC


Race #1: 8? laps @ Motegi SS // Nissan PAO '89
Race #2: 4 laps @ Motegi East Course // Limbo Stick
Race #3: 6 laps @ Mid-Field Reverse // Luxury
Race #4: 6 laps @ Rome // Luxury
Race #5: 4 laps @ Cote d'Azur // Classics
Race #6: 5 laps @ Madrid Reverse // Classics

Bonus race in RUF RGT '00?
 
I'm missing a race result, the last one of this event:

Series 25 -- Event 2
Sunday 19 July 2015

Race #1: 1 lap @ SSR7 // Pontiac Vibe GT '03
Race #2: 6 lap @ SSR5 Clubman // Traffic
Race #3: 7 laps @ Tsukuba // Legends
Race #4: 4 laps @ Twin Ring Motegi Road Course // Legends
Race #5: 5 laps @ Matterhorn Riffelsee // 90s Sports
Race #6: 6 laps @ Matterhorn Dristelen // 90s Sports

At Matterhorn Dristelten, I have neither a photo of the results nor a replay. I'm 99% sure that there were just three of us, that I was last, and that @Cu3e was second, but I can't remember if it was @LongbowX or tacom who was the winner.

@LongbowX or @Cu3e can recall? That's all I need to finish up the backlogged results. 👍

I will collect the daily bonus and check. Maybe let Bob collect some cash as I am there. Haven't done any racing since sunday...

Edit: I only have Motegi and Tokyo(?) replays from 19th... Sorry :boggled:

Some awesome races we had today. I'll be uploading a video tomorrow night. I meant to do it earlier tonight, but I kinda forgot, and I have work tomorrow morning, so it's better this way.

Btw, for anyone in need of a ton of credits real fast, the '66 Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto from the Vintage list is very well-balanced for the 350 pp quick match. It will need a little suspension tuning, as well as a new transmission with closer gear ratios, an LSD, and a new catalytic converter to be competitive, though.
 
This is from the race at Midfield. I had quite the epic showdown for second place with @snowgt, and @tarnheld was just gone. Looking at my replay, it seems like I was braking a bit late, even though I kept trying to brake a little earlier at some corners to fix that. 4WD, heavy cars aren't exactly my thing, but this track was well-suited for it.

Btw, I won't be able to make it tomorrow or Wednesday. I guess I'll see you guys on Friday then.

My PS3/GT6 has developed a habit of freezing up. It does it every time I try to get photos from races and quite often also when testing or tuning a car. Which is especially frustrating because the freezeup eats your tune...

Friday got it online twice. Together with the online issues this is getting unbearable... :indiff::guilty:

Got that too a while ago, might be remedied by cleaning all PS3 vent holes thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner. 👍 No guarantee that it works though... :nervous:
 
Ah, just woke up from oversleeping and it seems I have nothing prepared for today. :embarrassed:

Perhaps it would be a good day for...

Shuffle Surprise!

copy and pasted from the OP for convenience:

Shuffle Surprise

5 Race Cup Tour
Should take about 90-120 minutes depending on how the laps are set for each car list & track combo.

Itinerary:
  • Race #1: Track chosen by driver present at start time with highest Parity funkiness rating, host then picks the 1-make car from one of the car lists. Grid order determined by Reverse Parity Grid Line-up
  • Race #2: Track chosen by winner of Race #1, Car List then chosen by last place of Race #1, RGO
  • Race #3: Track chosen by winner of Race #2, Car List then chosen by last place of Race #2, RGO
  • Race #4: Track chosen by winner of Race #3, Car List then chosen by last place of Race #3, RGO
  • Race #5: Track chosen by winner of Race #4, Car List then chosen by last place of Race #4, RGO
Rules:
  • Track to be chosen FIRST, then after the track is announced, car list is chosen & announced.
  • Host determines amount of laps each race, depending on the schedule timing, taking into account car list, track, time/weather, combination.
  • Time/Weather settings may be chosen for applicable tracks either specifically or generally. If general direction is given, host is to do best to approximate the desired time/weather appropriate to the cars & track. If no preference is given, host will default to setting: no or low chance of rain, with either full day with advancing time progression, or midday and fixed.
  • No full-night races on day/night tracks, but races may start or end in darkness. No full darkness on Willow. (This is because shuffle cars are wildly variable in headlight capacities, and some tracks, like Willow, are too dark to see at all in some cars.)
  • Oval tracks may only be chosen for the first 1-make race. (ie: Daytona, Indy, SSRX, SSR7, HSR)
  • Dirt/Snow tracks may not be chosen at this time. (This is because not all car lists have dirt/snow tire capabilities, and so this would put too much pressure on the person deciding the car list, to think about this on the fly.)
  • In the event that 1st place or last place from the previous race leaves the lobby after that race, the choice reverts to the next in line. Example: 1st place from previous race leaves or is leaving, choice is given to 2nd place driver in previous race. Last place leaves, choice is given to next to last place.
  • Normal Shuffle Starting Grid Order Rules apply.

Parity Shuffle Surprise

3 race cup tour
Should take about 90-120 minutes depending on how the laps are set for each car list & track combo.

Itinerary:

Race #1
  1. The 2 drivers present at event start time with the lowest Parity Car Assignments, each choose a track. A vote is taken between those 2 tracks.
  2. The 2 drivers with the highest Parity Funkiness Rating then each choose a car list. A vote is then taken between those 2 car lists.
Race #2
  1. The drivers who finish 1st and 2nd place in Race #1 each choose a track. A vote is taken between those 2 tracks.
  2. The drivers who finish last & penultimate in Race #1 then each choose a car list. A vote is then taken between those 2 car lists.
Race #3
  1. The drivers who finish 1st and 2nd place in Race #2 each choose a track. A vote is taken between those 2 tracks.
  2. The drivers who finish last & penultimate in Race #2 then each choose a car list. A vote is then taken between those 2 car lists.
Rules:
  • When the track is suggested, time of day & weather preference must be stated if desired before the vote is made. If time & weather is not stated, the default setting will be Time: 12:00, Progression: 10, Weather 20%, Changeability: 60, Surface: 0%.
  • In the event of a tie in the vote for car list or track, the choice made by the driver with the highest Parity Funkiness Rating will always take precedence as the decider.
  • The host determines the amount of laps based on keeping each race around 20-25 minutes.
  • Damage heavy, and 1 mandatory pit stop, for most car list & track combos, unless it's a specified exception.
  • Damage light may be chosen for most car lists for the following tracks: Nürburgring 24hrs, Nürburgring Nordschleife, Nürburgring Type V, Sarthe (all), Sierra, SSR7
  • Damage light may be chosen for some slower car lists at tracks exceeding 4 miles length (or exceeding 3 miles length with hills).
  • Dirt, snow, & oval tracks are not allowed choices.
  • No full-night races on day/night tracks, but races may start or end in darkness. No full darkness on Willow. (This is because shuffle cars are wildly variable in headlight capacities, and some tracks, like Willow, are too dark to see at all in some cars.)
  • Normal Shuffle Starting Grid Order Rules apply.
 
What is the plan for Wednesday, @amarynceos ?

Historic? Retro? Limbo? Low Power? I like em all (lower PP)... And will try to drive any PP!

Brands Hatch 80's? Mt. Panorama? Spa? Twin Motegi?
