Midnight Racing Club - GT500 Season 2: Rd.10 Nürburgring 24H 23rd Dec

[TyrrellRacing]

Are/can we discuss(ing) laptimes of the next race to come?
Just asking so I can see if I'll be competitive.
I know laptimes vary due to the tyrewear but it's just to get an idea.

This league is very relaxed when it comes to practice times and the like and people often have practice rooms open in the week. Even though you're in one of the worst cars, you shouldn't have any problems seeing as you're from 3D3, that looks like a very tough league. Welcome to the series by the way.

Has been a fantastic race in LaSarthe, I was impressed by IMMORTALPILOT speed in the Porsche Turns, he was just uncatchable there (I suspect he is Sebastian Vettel playing the game before Abu Dhabi Gran Prix ). I tried my best to make only one stop when I saw that IMMORTAL was going for 2, but he catched me anyway quite easly

congratulation also to allascato for completing the german/italian podium

👍

Thanks guys,

I don't know who to add first so if you guys could send me FR's that would be awesome. GTP_Speedy6543

Had a small practice yesterday in my lounge to see how good the car felt and I thought it almost sticked like glue to the surface with a tune I found here on the forum and some minor adjustements.
I don't know how good the other cars are so I hope it will be enough.
Looking really forward racing you guys.

During practice sessions for sarthe I could keep up with immortal til the final sector , his car just handles too good in the high speed corners .

Ill have to break his win streak in Trial Mountain tho !!!

I will add you this afternoon speedy , ill have a practice session between 7 - 9 pm gmt tonight .

 

[phil bell]

Sticks like glue?Gosh my car spins the rears in second...Least it's fun though.
Hoping for a better result this friday.

 

[SkengD]

What were your times like at trial mountain speedy ?

 

[Speedy6543]

First go gave me 1'19.230 as best lap

 

[phil bell]

I don't remember running GT500 cars there officially but IF I remember correctly that is really quick!
Tempted to have a go later,doubt I'll have pace as this track might not suit me or the car well.

Thanks, I may join you around 8PM GMT then. 👍

 

[SoopamanLuva]

This track should belong to either a GT-R or maybe Lexus, NSX has no chance really, would be one hell of a drive to win here in that beast!!

 

[SkengD]

Anything is possible when your IMMORTAL.

I will make it very hard for him though .

 

[SoopamanLuva]

If anything can catch him it'll be the calsonic

 

[SkengD]

I've been using the Castrol Supra in another league immortal invited me in and actually setting faster times compared to my calsonic times .

 

[gippone]

my best after a first session is 1:17.9xx but I hate this track too much unevenness in the ground for a racing car

 

[SkengD]

1 17 9 sounds fast

 

[Speedy6543]

OohKaaay...I got some work to do 👍

 

[SkengD]

Opening lounge now , feel free to join

Going to have to put in some work here to get pole , Gprilli your time is quite impressive

Well to put in a great lap here is a lot of work , car at the ragged edge all the time lots of sliding . Feels good when you get it right.

I got it right and ran a 1 16 8xx only to be topped by Immortal with a 1 16 7xx

Don't say that!

Where you getting your setup from on the Castrol? I use RKM Motorsports tune.

Just a setup I made loosely of my calsonic setup which is a combination of my personal touches and soopas last year takata nsx setup

I can pm them to you tomorrow if you like .

I notice with my setups compared to most the biggest difference is how I set my lsd .

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Ran a few 1:17:9xx 's earlier. However, I'm spinning out here more than any other track, great track though, very challenging.

That would be great thanks. I can't see myself challenging you this season anyway! 👍

 

[SkengD]

Very very easy to spin here , I will have to practice with worn tires as I might go for a 1 stop .

A regular 2 stop seems best tho , as usual.

Can't believe immortal is so fast here , I know he is pushing hard and it isn't race pace but I didn't expect him to pull off a time like that .

It won't be easy to get pole .

 

[SoopamanLuva]

I can't believe he's that fast either, its just embarrasing to drive an NSX now, at least I had one season of being the best NSX driver

 

[SkengD]

You should see the commitment he has in the corners , losing the rear but still holding it .

I ran like a 1 17 6 first , then he ran a 1 17 4 , then I beat that time , then he beat mine .
We went back n forth for a while then I ran a 1 16 8 and said yes that's it he can't beat that.
Then he ran 1 16 7 , I have yet to match that or beat it.

I think I can beat him this race , my race pace should be better than his.

Sector 1 is the sector to get right to get a good time , sector 2 is the one that you have to nail perfectly and sector 3 - 4 are the easiest of all sectors here .

 

[SoopamanLuva]

I think it sounds like you have a good chance, the NSX will certainly be harder on its tyres than the GT-R, your track experience will be on your side too Good luck mate 👍

 

[SkengD]

Anyone up for practice tonight ?

 

[Speedy6543]

Having second thoughts...I don't have the time to throw myself into fully particiption

sorry guys, I'm out

 

[adeadsnipermatt]

Sorry guys I haven't spoken in a while. I have been extremely frustrated and want to calm myself down before I say anything that could be harmful. It just sucks to know you faster then some but only to have the draft in this game screw you up. I don't know but it's like it's worst then when we had super draft boost.

I wanted to say sorry to Gprili for bump drafting you but I'm surprised that upset you when we were catching the leader because of it. Without it he was pulling away 2 second a lap if I just followed you he gained 10 seconds or more if I tried to battle you.

It extremely disappointing when you would rather have a battle then catch the leader.

That aside I am very disappointed with my place at le sarthe I would have had an easy podium if I wasn't taking out in the beginning in the race. I wish the person who did waited for me like it states in the GTP ORL. even if you have everyone pass you you need to wait for the person YOU wreaked. No If's, And's or But's!

I was going to try to bring it back but the draft started pissing me off so much I had to quit.

I'm glad I quit too because I had to past almost every back runner about twice before I could break draft from them. It's stupid, I know I'm faster then racer#11 for example but he would catch up and try to past me on the straight getting in front of me and break early screwing up my line.

Not only that with the new draft if you get caught behind another car your downforce is gone! So me trying to work my way back up in and underpowered car, it wasn't going to happen. So in the end I learned if you know you have an underpowered car, choose your races wisely because in the end you can't even race in some.

I'm done ranting hopefully I get pole so I won't have to deal with the horrible draft physic's.
