With the Nissan Spec V '09, the lowest weight i can get it to is 1345, no lower. How could i bring down the weight to 1320KG?

 

[Jakedog23]

Read a few posts and you will see what it says

 

[racingchamp30]

The post says that GTD class will be able to use the GT-R Spec V '09 at 1,390 KG but i am in the GTLM class.

 

[Jakedog23]

No @reigninblood said that you run the Nissan GT-R SpecV '09 at your own risk.

 

[racingchamp30]

Class: GTLM
Car: SRT Viper GTS Launch Edition '13
Body Color: GT6 Chrome 007
Rim color: Merlot Red
Number: 20

Edit: I tested the car out at Silverstone GP circuit, Indy Road Course, Daytona Road course. Handles really well for me. Was able to get the specs i need for the Viper.

Nissan GT-R specV '09 will only go down to 1345kg. GTLM can use the car but the lightest it will go is 1345kg. It is still very fast even at that weight. 25kg is like having a 5 year old sitting in the back seat. GTD will still use it at 1390kg

Hey there fellas. Great racing at Indy. Congrats to Jake on his second victory.Wow! What a second half of a season for him. That man stepped up his game and took that GTLM championship. Just wanted to say thanks for a great season. Super pumped for season 4 man !

 

[Jakedog23]

You to man. You earned your victory last night for sure. And congrats and a probable Overall championship.

On a side note results and Chanpionship winners will be posted mid day today.

 

[Chris Kelley]

Probable ? Is there something wrong ?

 

[Jakedog23]

No. Just thought I might give you a scare

 

[Chris Kelley]

Lol I was going to say. What did I do get DQ in both races.

Announcement​

Congrats to the champion @Chris Kelley!!!! As well to GTLM champ @Jakedog23. Those two drivers will run the Gran Tursimo number plate as well as @Chris Kelley will run the #1 and his previous number (84) will not be available for Season 4. Also these two drivers will pick our season 4 Track List.

A reminder that there will be an exhibition race next Friday, track TBA, bring what you might run for Season 4.

 

[dangerzone641]

WOOOOOOOOOOOH 31 POINTS!

 

[Jakedog23]

WOOOOOOOOOOOH 31 POINTS!

Show your face more you would've won has to come week in week out like Warmachine

 

[reigninblood]

Congrats to both Chris and Jake!!! Good luck also with your track decisions for season 4. Does anyone have any ideas for which track we should race at for this Friday's pre-season race? I'd like to see us take a vote.
Just a reminder that you can choose ANY car from the season 4 car list and that we will be at the new BoP( 1390kg for GTD and 1320kg for GTLM). The car that you choose for the exibition pre-season race this Friday doesn't have to be your final pick for season 4, so it's a good time to test out which car you want.

All official car entries/colors/numbers need to be posted by no later than 3/12/15 so choose wisely.

I vote for Tokyo R246 for the season race on 3/6/15

Just a reminder to both Jake and Chris, you both need to decide on your tracks by 3/7/15.

 

[Chris Kelley]

I vote tokyo also. But I vote for it in reverse . Much better that way.

 

[Chris Kelley]

Well i guess its time for track selection. I took pick #1 and pick #4. Pick #1 is Nurbergring F1 . Pick #4 is Laguna Seca.

 

[Jakedog23]

Well #2 is Bathhurst. #3 is…TBA

 

[reigninblood]

Well i guess its time for track selection. I took pick #1 and pick #4. Pick #1 is Nurbergring F1 . Pick #4 is Laguna Seca.

1.Nurburgring GP/F 2. Mount Panarama 3.? 4. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. So far so good.

 

[dangerzone641]

It'd be cool to have a city track

[racingchamp30]

Congratulations to @Jakedog23 for winning the GTLM class and Warmachine for winning the GTD class overall for season 3. Getting a third place podium is good for me so i am happy.

Absolutely not. That's what the pre-season races are all about. We all can run these cars around a track and compare times all day long. How they mesh together on race night is something totally different. After this Friday's pre-season you should have a better handle on your car choice. Jake, as a reminder, you have until this Saturday night to make your official track picks.

Sorry for missing the last round, after the 2nd round knowing the front tires were just going to fall off no matter what I did with the setup gave me no motivation to test.

Just a recommendation, homologate actual racing cars instead of street cars tuned to be racing cars. The inability to add front downforce made it a nightmare to get a setup that didn't understeer constantly and destroy the front tires. It would most likely draw more series interest as well

We actually have been contemplating moving to race cars for season 5. I'd like to move this to GT3 class cars however it's too close to season 4 to make every one buy a car and test. We were testing BoP settings using street cars just for the lack of the aero crutch. It's much harder to tune with only mechanical grip. I feel that it is only going to help every one here when we go to real race cars. Tuning for tire wear is vital but, proper driving technique reigns supreme here for tire wear. The one thing that I did notice is a problem on our end was last season's lack of communication on event times pertaining to what time of day we ran on time sensitive tracks ie. the difference in grip on Motegei at night with RS tires is like running there at 12:00 noon on SS. Accuracy for tuning goes out the window in that situation and I take full responsibility. From now on all tracks will be run at the game specific times to avoid this confusion unless it's clearly specified. I'm no stranger to tuning by ANY stretch of the imagination. Good tire wear is there. You just have to find it.
