I'm not the lowest after allI ran with 123 HP
I had 117hp. With the draft it was adequate to keep up with the faster drivers, but if I make a mistake, they disappear.

What dont you like an A-piller that is 1/3 the size of your windshield?
That was my issue with that car too. And I think the driving view of the Impreza is too close to the steering wheel.

Benda, maybe you should throw the phrase "drop-in" or "open lobby" into the thread title. There seem to be a few guys who would drop by every week but they usually think there's some kind of registration.

Yeah, go at least Zoom or Zoom+ if you're gonna run the Amemiya RX-7 in cockpit mode.

After a little testing I'm running 1:49.6s in the Amemiya RX-7 at the moment. I know I'm still a couple of seconds off the race pace, probably.
Setup and tire conservation is going to play a huge part this race (as it did in Rome). All those long sequences of right-handers are going to shred tires, I've been playing around with camber settings for better turning all day.

Mike, any advice on camber?
I ran a few laps on/offline with the Cusco. The front tires are going to be 1/2 gone by lap 6 or so. I like the stock setup except for the understeer at corner entry.
The last few corners of the track always give me problems. How do you guys take them, going wider than normal?

I'll be in for this event.
just wondering, did you not include standad cars on purpose, there are quite a few standard gt300 cars, like the wedsport celica and an mrs of some sort.

I think the selection of GT300 cars was picked from what another competition was using for two reasons:
- The cars listed were fairly even in performance
- The other competition is allergic to Standard cars, it seems

Man, 3.5 front? I was thinking of running around 3.0 front or maybe 2.8. I ran a 100km GT500 on Fuji Speedway/F a couple weeks ago with camber 2.0 front using my Supra on racing hards, and I pitted around lap 12 or so with that. I'd be thinking that the GT300's would be easier on handling with the lower hp - maybe I'm wrong?
It was more because the standard GT300 cars are from years where the rules were more relaxed in regards to weight/power & drivetrain type, whereas the premium GT300 cars are from years where the rules are more strict. I don't think Benda really had the time to balance out all the standard ones on his own, and the people running WSGTC already balanced out the premiums, so he went with just the premiums.

Yeah that's pretty much the story. Formula racing like GT300 seemed like a great idea to begin with, but the problem is it's not a formula. you have all these different cars from different years with different HP, weight, etc. it's impossible to balance them all out without spending hours testing, which frankly I don't have.

If you read my post here you'll see that I copied the race setup directly from another Super GT series here on GTPlanet. I think that it's fair, considering that there are already like 4-5 successful Super GT series, to copy one of their race formats. I simply don't have time to test over a day or 2 to get the race ready.
Also, the list of cars originally started out with the 4 premiums plus like 8 standards (older JGTC cars) but over the past few pages of the thread you'll see that we basically decided that due to the major differences in all these GT300 cars that the best way to keep the racing close was to eliminate all the old JGTC cars (standards) because of near-annual rule changes, and only use the most recent Super GT cars (premiums) which come from an era of racing with few rule changes. Unfortunately PD only included 4 - if we were racing GT500 we'd have a choice of like 15.
I think if you look at all the cars, their stock power, weight and PP, you'll see too that it's going to be really hard to make the field even by simply creating a maxHP/minWEIGHT limit or PP.
