-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SIGNUPS are now permanent, once you sign up you are good to go for the rest of the 8 week season.

- At the end of the race just write down your finishing position compared to the other GTP members. If you finish up front use the extra time to write down the finishing position of the others to ensure everything is recorded in case they don't see the results.

Gonna see if this combo is good

 

[Earth]

Im hearing rumors that they may try to update this Sunday or Monday?

Whatever happened to updating on Thursday every 2 weeks??

Oh well, we'll see what happens and adjust

 

[Chadwicksracing]

One more large aspect Earth. An official Rules page. Perhaps you could include that in the Champ Standings thread.

Its all looking great. Once you have the look you want, its easy to duplicate it for the next event.

 

[Mr.Grandorifto]

can i still join?

 

[L_Hamilton]

can i still join?

I'm pretty sure. But once you're in, you're in for the whole 8 weeks.👍

The rules will take a while, but when they are done I will upload it as a .pdf file

Hey great to see another old face. Of course you can join. I'll add you to the Clubman Cup

I have done some laps with this combo and My best is a 54.5. The next 3 laps after that I ran 54 7s so I'm going to have to tweak the setup of the car to go any faster. Gearing is so crucial here

On a side note I have cleaned up the first post concerning information on pp levels per race...hopefully it will be easier to find what you are looking for.

Also I would like to somehow make it where you can choose between a set of cars which you want to race, but I dont know how to do it and make it fair just yet. Any ideas are welcome

[Mr.Grandorifto]

You could give this a try (I managed a 1'53.6xx with it). The gears are for TTs, so you might want to stretch them just a bit

Thanks man....I'll try it out now..

 

[MajorMilou]

I've just spent at least 45 minutes working on optimal gearbox settings, and I think I've found something I'm happy with.

I just did a practice race, and without any outside influence (the guy i was racing against, a Honda, was a lot slower and never a factor), i ran 53'7, 53'6, 53'6, and 53'3. Not a bad little car this one, but it's easy to loose time with it but with my current setup i feel the car very well.

I just don't know if 5th gear will be long enough once overtaking comes into play. I guess I'll find out tomorrow

The setup is very different than the one from Heli-Eric, but I get similar lap times with both. My chassis settings are more neutral.

yes.... 5th having a hard time with... and 2nd and 3rd.. haha need to fix
.

 

[Chadwicksracing]

I can see the 53 mark in my lap times, but the car just do not want to do it.. I need a better setup. I am glad to see that the car can be pushed into lower 53's with the right setup. I'll get there. Thanks for the input guys.

Really...... like you said "I can see the 53 mark in my lap times, but the car just do not want to do it.. " maybe if you are Sebastien Loeb.. haha.

 

[Earth]

My best lap time with my current setup is 54.192. I can run consistent 54 4s and 54 5s.

To get that extra speed I think I'm going to have to change the balance of the car's HP/Weight. I'm currently all in one direction.

Also I may not be in the chat tonight, but I will start up a Text Chat in the PS3 and will send out invites

Heli-Eric, Mr. Grandorifto remember to DMZ your PS3 or you will not be able to race with CWR who hosts the majority of the races.

The Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R has won the poll. mvracing324 and majormillou had a vote for each the Aston and Skyline but it did not count because they are not signed up. So the final tally is 5-4 in favor of the Skyline

I can't guarantee that the race will be at Daytona Road, but we will use the car for the next event

Yes i did it last night... I going to reboot all my stuff.. then do the DMZ.. Man that was good racing last night... what if the events change??

 

[Heli-Eric]

The setup is very different than the one from Heli-Eric, but I get similar lap times with both. My chassis settings are more neutral.

I updated my tune, and have managed a 1'52.928 with it (GTP TT legit, ie. 2+ wheels on the track at all times).

 

[MajorMilou]

Is the grid set, is it too late for me to join? If not, what do you mean by dmz? I don't usually have any connectivity issues with online play. Let me know, i have a good setup for this race.

Then we'll just race the Skyline somewhere else

================

To DMZ your PS3 log into your router, find DMZ, it was under my router's firewall tab, then put your PS3's IP address into the blank

Remember though that everytime you unplug the power to your router the IP number of your PS3 will change and you will have to go back into your modem and adjust accordingly.

If you don't have a router I think you're OK

Clubman Cup is getting full

Hopefull we can get 2 or 3 more signups for the next round and the Sports Cup Championship can be opened

 

[MajorMilou]

Great news. ok i'll figure out the dmz process.
I ran a 52'900 flat yesterday in practice mode. We'll see if i'm any good in race conditions hope to see you all later then!

 

[EL_ZISSOU]

[mkay]

Eric, what about that updated tune of yours?

 

[Heli-Eric]

Eric, what about that updated tune of yours?

It's listed earlier in the thread. I simply edited my originally published tune (didnt' want to waste space

 

[L_Hamilton]

I updated my tune, and have managed a 1'52.928 with it (GTP TT legit, ie. 2+ wheels on the track at all times).

1'52.827 with your tune.

 

[Heli-Eric]

1'52.827 with your tune.

[mkay]

Cool. I'm actually down to 1'52.821 now. LOL

Thanks, man. In only 5 laps, I was able to achieve 1:53.4 with your tune.

Awesome!

 

[OrangeR]

Ok I give up for this round!!!!
This thing just isn't going to let me connect to the races

Have fun!
See you next round.

 

[mkay]

Earth... seriously, it cannot be possible.

Race #2

First turn of the last lap, we were four (Godzilla, me, Earth and Canes), side by side/bunched up , I took the outside line and tried to jump to the inside to have the better exit and midway through the corner I got a ramming penalty (my third random ramming penalty), and then, game over.

Seriously?
