Ok, made the Facebook account and Facebook fan page. Got my friends on board.




Dude Blaze you really gotta think about finally moving out of the sun. Mercury doesn't even have a movie theatre. Come on dude, at least Venus.

lol. just exacerbates my wheel overheating problem......
 
With the new news article we can expect to see this thread get white hot I reckon! I would recommend those interested get registered fast but only do so if 100% committed and make sure you follow the registration instructions!
 
About the wheels getting hot, indeed they get warm. I did the 24hr Nurburgring with the G27, worked exceptionally well and did not overheat. Force feedback set on 1 of course. I did the 9hr Tsukuba with the DFGT, it got very hot 6 hours in and had to pit/save. You make a valid point, but the G27 is our best bet. I don't know much about the T500RS.

Holy 🤬 is this true? My DFGT has not gotten overly hot as yet and I use it a lot for extended periods... Naturally if the race is 24 hours I can't have the wheel dying on me. I may have to by a 2nd wheel and have it on standby in case it is required to change over.

As for Forced feedback I have never had it low and am interested to see what impact it has on driving, i will do some testing now.
 
My DFGT is over 2 years old and has logged over 80,000 miles easily. I had force feedback set on 7, if yours is newer and has not been used hard you should be fine. 👍

Sweet, mines 3 months old and logged nowhere near that so that's a relief! Will run some testing anyway though 👍

but never for 24 hours straight...i think that might just kill the DFGT. unless you run very low FFB.

On the normal cycle of playing GT5 for maybe 1 and 2 hours every other day plus maybe 3 hours on a weekend the DFGT will be fine and you can have it for 2+ years.....

but 24 hours in one sitting. it might go up in a puff of oil and smoke.

so i suggest that you guys practice with low FFB unless you have lots of money lying around.
 
Color me interested. I have a few people in mind who might want to join up.

Perhaps we could plan a races leading up to the Nurburgring race. Perhaps a Spa 6 hour race, or a 1000 miles of Tokyo (Route 246). That way we could get a formula down.
 
One solution could be to limit the selection of cars to a list prepared by the organizer. It'd be a good idea to limit it to premium cars at least for publicity's sake :)

Maybe limit it to production cars only (no racing models), or just racing models of certain production cars. It's a very difficult proposition to give pretty much no limits to what car you can use on an 1100 car roster.

As for tires, why not limit it to sports tires? 1100kg/300hp would be a good match for this, no real need for racing tires anyway.

This guy has the right ideas
 
Hi there guys..long time reader,first time poster.

this event sparked my interest enough to sign up.

are there still spots left? If so I've got a team together from Australia, containing some racing personalities from the sport here and we were looking to use the event as a chairty fundraiser drawing sponsorship for every hour we stay on the track and for every place we gain in the race.

Hope there are still some spots left.

Nice to meet you all.

Your the organizer, you have to set the regulations. Some cars have 10/20 downforce, others have 35/60 downforce. Because different players interpret the rules differently, your going to have differences in opinion, whats ok, whats not etc. You are not making the car regulations clear enough. Each team will test to what they think is the regulations, rather than testing to what IS the regulations.

I know there is a lot of depth and strategy to an endurance race. As I said, I help prepare and run in an endurance series and have been most of the year (only 1.5hour races though, not 24hour) Regardless, in GT5 without engine failure, mechanical breakdown etc, it's more about going fast, and a slow car from the get go is a slow car at the end of the race. Wouldn't it be better for all cars to be as close together on pace as possible from the start and let the drivers battle it out for the win? That's more of a race than 'I'm in a slow car, I hope the fast guys crash so the end of 24hours I'm not last'

^ THIS. Also if you use road cars don't forget to ban the R390 / NSX LM road if you don't want a "R390 vs. NSX LM 24h of Nurburgring". You know what happen'd in TimeAttack leaderboards right?

You should be fine, my G25 has been around since I got the original TDU, so getting on for 7 years old now. My friend and I did this exact race over summer in single player (FFB set to 5 in a 787B) in one go and it was fine. =)

I've almost got a solid team together in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. I need one more consistent driver that knows the Nurburgring well. I am a reliable host with a solid Internet connection. The event will take place in my beach house where the Internet has prooved extremely reliable through 24 hour Call of Duty marathons. When Black Ops released 4 friends of mine got together and took shifts for prestige. Food and drink will be furnished, our guest room will be available for rest. I have a playseat, G27 and DFGT. We will decide as a team what wheel and car to run. It will be a well organized, awesome event. Anyone else in the Jacksonville area that wishes to be a part is encouraged to do so. I have no kids, and the wife will be out of town so GT5 party it will be.

Edit: You must be at least 21 years of age for entry on my team. I do not want any potential trouble as it is an overnight event. Plus there will be drinks available.

Couple hours north of me, but tempting.... would be fun!
 
Would like to congratulate both GTP & Würks for what would be amazing first-time event. It's a massive taks to accomplish for sure, and yet still it's a long way to go. There already been lot of feedback, especially over the regulations and I as for experience agree that more restrictions are needed but that's why the test are for.
For the moment, I'm struggling to get 2 more drivers at the team but will email as soon got confirmation of them.. hope there are a couple of spots left.
Anyhow's on a side note is a nice way to keep the spirit up, especially with the current crisis related with the management of the track. For more info check & please support STR

hey im in the tri state area and was wondering if there was anyone how would be interested in making a team for this event im very excited but im not having any luck with finding a team. anyone interested please feel free to pm if your in the tri state area( Washington DC, Maryland, northern VA).

thanks

I'd be interested if there is a team near the gta ontario.

my team is pretty much full, actually we don't even know if we made it to the roster or not, we're awaiting to hear from kurt, but there could be a potential spot..pm me some info about yourself and what are your laptimes like in the ring with what cars and types of tires/mods you used
 
This is intriguing, but only one person I know who COULD be interested in the AL area. :(
 
This is a fantastic idea, good luck to everyone involved.

If any UK teams are entering and need a driver, I'd be interested.
 
Honest opinion, I'd say Racing soft's are a bit overkill for 305hp. Make it Sport compounds & restrict the car choice a bit (close performance) and I'd be interested to join. Would have a 3 driver Finnish team up in a second 👍
 
I need people around Campbelltown, NSW, Australia. I got a friend and a couson intersted but none of them have GT5 and one doesn't have a way of getting to my house.

I can see the need for some type of clarification on the car issue, I hate to admit. A few of the mentioned cars were the Advan Super GT Suburu, the RX-8 LM and the NSX, so clearly the nsx or nsx RM is fine, but I would hate to invest loads of time and tuning/data collecting into one of the other 2 or say the 380z Superleggerra or detuned Denso Sard Supra or such to find it's not usable. Don't mean to bombard you, just unclear and not wanting to backtrack more than necessary on the research.
Click to expand...

The 380z Superleggerra is based on 350z. it's good to go. The Denso Sard Supra is a Supra. Good to go. Once you send your registration through, I'll confirm the car by researching it. Car choice can be changed later worst case. Thanks
 
Screw that, if people are using untuned car it's not worth it. It will end up will 500/600hp downtuned to the max with ballast to get to 1100kg.

Let us know when you will have a striker regulation then i'll be in.
