[Müle]

Haha who would have thunk

Well in that case I'll team up with mule

gtp_sohnvonstig
Lotus Evora
Scuderia guidici

Does this mean you're going to actually race this time, Ponyboy?

 

[Adam41]

Righto thanks. Excuse that as I haven't had my morning coffee yet lol.
In that case I would like to sign up.
I would prefer the earlier time slot as it translates to 30 minutes past 12 midnight for me.The earlier the better!

Sorry about the time zone thing... Took it out by accident when I removed 17:30 as an option. Thanks for telling me your time zone preference. Welcome. 👍

Been wanting to race with this car for a long time.

Hi CSL. FYI I've changed the paint chip of the 370Z to black. Most blacks look the same, just make sure it isn't grey-ish or anything.

Well hello there team mate.

Edit: @ Aderrrm: where did you get the paint chip for the 370Z? In all my 2200+ paint chips, I don't seem to have it.

In certain lights, that paint chip seemed to match the black on the real car. Looking at the pic I took on track and comparing it with a similar pic in google images, it looks nothing like it lol. So I've changed it to Black. Black, Viper black, Brilliant Black etc.

 

[CSLACR]

If I still had it, it sounds like "Smokin Asphalt" would do the job nicely for an almost completely black, but not quite.
Of course I used it the second I saw it.

 

[Adam41]

Ah sorry. Well if you click the link on 'Nissan 370Z' in the OP you'll see the actual colour is really black but slightly... matte-ish?

Great sparky. 👍 Thanks for the time preference.

Yep that's right. Qualifying for the race will begin the Sunday before. Deadline is 16:00 GMT on the day of the race. I've made that a bit more clear in the OP.

 

[sparkysun2113]

So, in order to qualify someone should contact one of the PURE Stewards. Is there anyone in particular?
Secondly what IF someone does not meet the qualifying deadline? They should consider themselves out of the race, or getting some kind penalty?
P.S I know these questions might sound stupid but I have not yet raced something so official before.

 

[phil bell]

I have raced in one league like this during the holidays and normally you just start from the rear of the grid.
Anyone up for a short practice run? I need to make my Maser race worthy.
Edit: It is still 5kgs too heavy even with stage 2 weight reduction and carbon hood.What should I do?

 

[SohnVonStig]

Does this mean you're going to actually race this time, Ponyboy?

Yes it does I'm on school term soo I have a decent amount of freetime

If you ever want to qualify, post in this thread and a steward will hopefully post back soon saying they will get a room up and watch your quali. I'll clear the steward thing up in the OP.

If you haven't qualified before 16:00 GMT and still want to race, you will start at the back of Division 2 (assuming we get 24+ drivers signed up). However you won't be guaranteed a spot if 24+ drivers have already qualified (top 24 fastest times make up Division 1 and 2). Although that does depend on the commitment of all them 24 drivers. Say it's round 4 and 24 drivers have qualified for the race. One of them drivers hasn't entered any round yet, but you who has entered every round hasn't qualified yet, will get a spot.

It's better to ask questions than not know what's happening. And don't worry this series isn't that serious.

Edit: It is still 5kgs too heavy even with stage 2 weight reduction and carbon hood.What should I do?

Sorry about that... slight typo. It should be stages 1 + 2 weight reduction and windows weight reduction, rather than carbon hood. If you want me to send you a new Maserati I can. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

Are you trying to match the black on the red/black car they are currently using? It's just a satin/matte black.

 

[phil bell]

It's silly that the carbon hood can't be removed...
You may not need to as I've just tested the Maserati and it's awful. Feels like a soft squidgy road car rather than a race car.
It also locks and inside wheel way to easily. I might go for the Lotus, could I borrow one to test?

 

[Adam41]

Yeah but the matte black in GT5 looks horrible and greyish. I haven't tried Satin black.

And yeah if anyone finds any paint chips which are closer to the real paint colours (as seen in the links in the car's names in the OP) than I already have then post them here. 👍

Yeah And yeah the Maserati needs the most tuning to it, and it is the worst in the corners and best on the straights.

Hi Green. 👍 And good idea... put the time preference in the sign-up bit.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Forgot to mention the time, but I think either one works for me. I think it's 9:30-10:00 my time.

I just don't enjoy driving it as a race car. I can make it work with extremely good tire wear but it's just not engaging.
I think one of the reasons I feel it's squidgy is the numbness from the chassis and steering.
Nepal what car are you running? Could I team with you?
If not I'll go team Lotus UK.

 

[phil bell]

My times are no doubt slow though only doing 33.5s at best with them un run in.

My car un-run in and 5kg's over is doing 35 flat, so I think I'll get used to seeing the rear of the pack lol.

Nep hasn't decided yet, but I was going to try and encourage him to drive the M3 or Aston seeing as 3/4 Lotus' are already taken.

[NEPALII]

I'm currently in college. I get home in about 2hrs 30min. I'll test the cars and I'll have my definitive car choice by today, guaranteed. 👍

 

[Adam41]

👍 Don't let the Aston not having a rear wing put you off by the way, or anybody else for that matter. I would have left it out if I thought it had any disadvantage.

 

[Biffy]

Is it ok if I use Rosso Scuderia as my body paint? I can't find Scuderia Red anywhere, and I'm pretty sure Rosso translates into red anyway.

 

[NEPALII]

Teacher was absent and class cancelled for the day. I'll start testing in a few mins.

Yep I forgot to change it to that actually.
