Mostly vintage Racing, Thursday Nights 7:30 CST (switching to Sunday 1pm CST)

[hawkeyez]

Hello Hawkeyez, any chance to race next sunday?

I’ve joined another league, upwelling finished around 3pm last Sunday and I opened up a room and it filled up. I started friending all the clean racers and kicking the bad ones. We had some very very close racing so hopefully we get a good turnout this Sunday. Just add me on PSN, let me know which name to look for.

Look for my room up this Sunday around 2-3pm.

I sent it, but then got yours, don't really know why. Anyways, thank you!

Popped up unannounced yesterday, sorry if I interrupted. Great racing though, it was fun!

Thanks, lots of fun. That is probably my worse track and car combo lol

Pop in unannounced whenever, the only one you will possibly interrupt is sundays at 12:30 when we are doing out GTEL league. This sundays race is only 50 minutes so I should be opening a room around 2pm, possibly earlier.

 

[lolrom]

Thank's for hosting today. Could you share the set up of that Camaro at 605PP?
It seemed like a good combo for close racing

 

[hawkeyez]

Sure, I’m pretty sure we just tossed certain parts on it and didn’t adjust anything but maybe check the suspension settings just in case.

myself, wogsmog amd yogibear all run pretty close with each other to begin with. We seem to take turns shining. depends on the day idk lol

[lolrom]

I'm more familiar with european classics but i'll try this one, seemed fun.

 

[hawkeyez]

Hey lolrom, the other two don’t run the alpine they don’t like it but this is the best I could do to try and tame this thing. Ignore the power restrictor at 95 I didn’t realize that was detuned until I screenshotted it.

 

[hawkeyez]

Alpine tune

 

[hawkeyez]

Firebird tune, I like this one, I just sort of tuned it like a street car, lightened it and threw some grippier tires at it. It tends not to be competitive in its PP range and tires but I still like running it, like the camaro‘s, I tuned a pantera to the same PP and blew the Camaro away, I enjoy driving the 605pp Camaro more than the pantera anyway. I dialled the pantera back and I’ve got it almost on par with the camaro tune now. As well as a 69 Corvette. Camaro is still the most fun.



forgot to mention, it’s wide bodied. Stock rims I believe but wide tires.

thanks for the tunes! It makes for some good close racing.
I won't be up the next 2 or 3 sundays, I'll be out for work but I'll be back mid july with those tunes

No rush. Yeah I do enjoy when everyone can run the same car, tires and tune. It does make for close racing, nobody has any advantages, one car isn’t faster than another and when we aren’t on racing tires there’s more driver error which also evens things out as well. If I’ve made suspension adjustments I’ll share but I usually leave it stock unless it’s oversteering or understeering like crazy or the tires hit the fenders.

We enjoy racing with you and Darkspeed (he always shows up too). I friended a bunch of other people in hopes they’d drop in but they didn’t this last time.

We quit the other league, too hardcore and I’m just not competitive enough. Also nobody ever really gives each other room in my opinion.

I think I’ll try and start a little more serious league in summer but no rules or points besides let’s run these cars, here’s the tune or setup and let’s have fun and who cares who wins sort of thing lol not much of a league but still.

 

[lolrom]

I had lots of fun racing around with you guys, looking forward for more. If there are any other classics you guys share the tunes, just post it and i'll get up to par.
I've got the firebird ready to fly

For the firebird I did the same tune I think, but I end up with 546,19. Wide body would make it jump to 549,92 so I didn't do it, I wasnt sure you were refering to the camaro or the firebird when you said it was wide bodied.

Firebird is widebodied (Camaro is too but looks like you got that)

I think there’s something goofy with the rims and stuff. Maybe try stock rims, wide tires, if that isn’t the same maybe try wide offset too?

I sure wish they’d allow to share tunes or even just let the host supply cars allowing the other players to throw different paint on it quick or something like that.

 

[hawkeyez]

My plan is to get all the muscle cars running roughly the same lap times on tracks if I can. Close too anyway. Then I’ll organize some races.

trying to think what could all get in around the Camaro tune.

Camaro (obviously)
Boss 429
Challenger
GTO
Corvette
Pantera (only because I found a tune that matches up)
Maybe the Fairlady 432Z
Mach I
Shelby GT350
Maybe a firebird
Defined nova maybe.

i think it’d be fun.

 

[lolrom]

I see you guys have the 20million daytona? I need that one! Such a car.
The idea is to have all of them at around 600 605 ish

Yogi just got it when it came up last. Unfortunately he missed out on the 917K. Game takes so much single player to earn credits. If I could I would have given him credits so he could get it.

Ive got these tuned to run similar laps to the Camaro. When the Boss 429 and Shelby Mustang pop up in legendary again I’ll work at getting them to similar lap times. I’m going by lap times instead of PP because by PP it’s way off.

the SuperBee tune I got feels pretty good, closest to the Camaro.

Once I weld up my new rig and get my spare room setup for racing/gaming I think I’m going to share the tunes and run a casual league with these cars. I’m not sure I want to allow any to run together because it will be too easy to just bump up the challenger and blow the Camaro away. So maybe three races each weekend per car.

That would make it so much easier. either one would be perfect to set up lobbies on the go.

When they are ready, I'll set up the cars to match you guys, so that I can just pop in and race right away with the same car.

I did the opposite. Got the 917k, not the daytona... Didn't make the time to get another 20million.

 

[lolrom]

It was the first time I tried the car. I think everything is stock, I'm at 486.02 with sport hards though.

 

[lolrom]

Thanks for hosting. Had great fun! gt40 vs 330 p4 was a good one too

I’ll have to double check, maybe we tossed some aero onto them? The game is messed up. For some reason some of our cars are all exactly the same but off by like 3-4pp

Not to mention the SuperBee tune it should obliterate the Camaro but it doesn’t. But it’s only at 567pp! it almost had the exact same weight and Hp but it has waayyyy more torque. I may have to bump them all up a few pp to match the Camaro.

Hi Hawkeyez hope you are doing good. Some vintage racing tomorrow?
If you guys set up more cars please tell me so we can run roughly the same specs. It makes for closer racing, which is always better!

Yeah I’ll play tomorrow at 1pm.
as for tunes, I’ve got a bunch but I’ll have to screenshot and save and send.

 

[lolrom]

no worries, see you tomorrow in the lobby
