MULE, I'm sorry that I had to leave mid-race today. I had to stop since the neighbours were complaining about the noise. I'll change from a full time to a part time driver, but I doubt that I will be able to make any more races without getting further complaints.

 

[Müle]

Good, fun race. car racer gets the last lap pass on luckylefty for the win. Maximus completes the podium after Tim and I crashed going into Ascari.

Fun outside a certain racer cuttings off when I am going 183 and they are being drafted by sitting at 169. Then being shoved off the track two turns later. Outside that. Yea was a blast.


Well I can't seem to PM you. Please review lap 7. Thank you.

Yeah, sorry about that I got a bit distracted with my phone ringing. Good car though, it's ridiculously easy to drive.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Just registered. Part time, since I missed pre-season.

I watched the replay, all I see is a lag explosion.
Good battle twords the end there Owen. Very hallow feeling though I got 3rd by pure circumstance.

Was a lot of fun trying to catch you. Oh so close at the end.

I didn't have any lag on my end. Just some unwarranted blocking and not sharing the track. Oh well hopefully it was an isolated incident and I will take note of said driver. Will be using extreme caution around them. If again they cause an issue. I will undoubtedly know where to place the blame.


Btw my name isn't Owen. It's Jeff Owens. seems so Wierd beings I have little cousin named Owen. No not Owen Owens. LoL but that has a nice ring.

 

[Dr_Watson]

Yeah, that was a bit laggy in general. Lefty kept scaring the pants off me as his car would move erratically and brake suddenly and unpredictably; was even one point where I got a pass on lefty going through della roggia because his car did this spooky ghost warp through me and popped back into existence in my rear-view.

Ah that explains a lot. He is seeing things differently then the rest of us.

Sadly lucky. I think your connection is screwy and causing myself to think your doing dirty moves. Sorry if so.

 

[Litchi]

Yep, I'm in. Sorry, i missed the preseason race.

EDIT 2: Room finally still open until Husq leaves

 

[GrayFox32]

Signed up! As part-time just in case but could possibly be there for all races.

Practice Room closed;

1472-6118-3830-2743-7443​

Initial set up I ran a 1:30.xxx, fiddled with the tranny a bit and ran a 1:27.xxx.

Expect the rest of the field to be in the :23s - :24s, maybe lower.

Running RKM's Deathscythe tune for the most part and since I couldn't hit his tranny values and the closest I could get to them never got me out of 4th and 2nd would do over 100MPH, I just made my own. Hitting 5th on the front straight and it feels better in the power band now with my weak settings.

Don't recall what that left after the corkscrew at Laguna is called but had to be very careful with brakes and power there to keep it from spinning.

Hope to practice with some of you to help give me something to shoot for besides my theoretical guessing.

Edited expected times for rest of field.

Laguna tends to make the cars very loose. Raising your rear ride height is a good idea.

I had the impression that raising the rear ride height made the car loose. Will try it out tonight and see how it acts.

Sorry I didn't make the pre season race Mule, I will be there for the opener. 👍

In real world yes. In GT5 things are backwards.

Gran Turismo - The real Driving Simulator

well... it's not backward from real life, it's just that GT doesn't model any of the down-sides to having a negative rake (like the big ball of air that mark webber's you on the mulsanne).
So in GT all positive rake does is add understeer by shifting the center of gravity and weight balance forward. Doesn't seem to have any effect on aero or suspension dynamics.. just weight transfer and center of gravity.

so it's the "Real-Simplified Driving Simulator"
