PURE | JGTS2-Congratulations to champions tony1311 and team Xanavi Z!

[Wardez]

That's kind of you to mention Tom. You would indeed be an awesome addition, sign up as a privateer come on xD We may be throwing a surprise special format race in the schedule here somewhere along the line... but we'll see.

I'd love to buddy but exams and coursework take up a lot of my time as does running IndyCar I'd want to practice a lot and take this seriously if I joined and I just don't have the time to do that unfortunately.

Vehicles are going to be assigned based off of a driver preference graph. So every driver that's accepted into JGTS will have to fill out a small survey detailing which three cars they'd like to drive most. This way, when we assign cars, we can give most every one their 1st or 2nd choices and even out the teams properly.

So the Sard may be your first choice, but if you really want an SC430, I'd recommend filling out the survey (which will be put up within the next week or so) as: "1 - Denso Sard 2. Tom's Petronas 3. Bandai Direzza"

Then you'd be sure to get an SC. Make sense?

Makes sense and works for me!!

 

[Biffy]

Looks like I'm almost a cert for this, it's ideally timed for me as it is (mostly) the only day I do not have work or uni. Just don't expect me to have the pace I had all those months back since I last raced

 

[Sail IC]

This competition looks very interesting. Looking forward to get back to some GT500 racing. Was some time ago.

Just my two cents the aero ..... I think you should allow to adjust it down, mainly as its a pain to police it. It will make setting the specs for the cars a bit trickier though.

Have you tried out tire wear. I only tried 2.08 for about one hour but RS tires seems to wear about the same as they did before they did the wear change some updates ago (6 months roughly). I estimate RS tires wears at about the same rate as RH tires before 2.08.

I only drove öike 5 laps on RH tires, but I couldn't dedect any wear on them. It might be that RH tires last forever on 2.08 which would not be good for strategy options. Something to test.

As I only tried 2.08 for about one hour I could be completely wrong, but I wanted to flag the tire wear thing as it might impact how you set the regulations.

 

[Denilson]

Johan, you're right. The RH tires last a long time.
But it's actually cool, cause fuel strategy come in to play.

Discussions regarding specs take place at our pure.gate19 forum.
Feel free to sign up and take part in the discussions. 👍

 

[DA6righthand]

I wasn't planning on participating in any race series for a while in order to focus on university... but I don't think I can pass up on another season of JGTS

I was going to do the same but I think I may try to get involved in this if y'all will have me.

 

[Wardez]

Yeah John, if you sign up to the forum, I'll make you a Pure member so you can take part in the pages and pages of technical discussion we've been going through. There are lots of really interesting solutions and alternatives being discussed.
@DA6
Of course we'll have you man!

 

[DA6righthand]

@DA6
Of course we'll have you man!

Well that depends...gotta get through that audition lol. Jk

Car-wise, I'll spring for a GTR or HSV whenever we start picking cars.

 

[Denilson]

DA6: We're looking at a mid October start at the moment.

Cars will be assigned from a form.
All signed up drivers rank all the cars (looking at 10-12 different SGT's as it stands) in order of choice.
And from that, me and Eddie will sort the cars and teams. Worked like a charm last season. Don't think anyone was given a car lower than top 2. 👍

But on the other hand, we did'nt have the HSV back then..
All cars will be driven by 3 drivers.. But we're probably going to allow 2 HSV teams (3 drivers/team), making it possible for 6 drivers to assigned the HSV. 👍

 

[freshseth83]

Looks interesting, but the cars are too slow compared to real life for my tastes. I'd love to participate in the future if the power and tire is increased. 👍

 

[pLc2563]

hey guys this sounds like a blast

 

[Wardez]

Thanks for the interest.

Hey pLc! Glad to see you again. Ready to rock?

 

[SkengD]

Im interested in this , how can i audition

 

[Wardez]

People that are interested in auditions can either post here and wait for a PM from us or simply PM me directly. Full details on the way we're going to hold demonstrations will be posted in the OP next week.

 

[OwensRacing]

Everyday I wake up is one day closer to the start of this!

Really looking forward to it.

Just a thought. If we get an over flow of racers signed up. Consider a GT300 series to run in tandem with the GT500's.

Obviously that would have to be considered after sign ups and auditions.

Maybe a feeder series for those that still have skills needing honed.

 

[Wardez]

We're much more interested in creating a controlled group of around 30 drivers max. We want all of these drivers the dedication needed to complete a full season and stay as clean as humanly possible. The feeder series for JGTS already exists in the form of all of the other series we ever run, that's the talent pool and it's been producing some really good cream to skim off of if you know what I mean. If drivers we audition aren't cut out for JGTS they'll be encouraged to start off in another one of our leagues in order to hone their race craft and gain the experience necessary to run in this intense competition.

But good ideas man. And GT300s will be used in semi-mixed league (ala WSGTC, although it's not going to named as such) come January.

I personally like the thought of gt300 and 500's racing together provides another element to it all!

In regards to 'auditioning', i know I can race cleanly, fair, etc but whether my lap times will be comparable im not sure. will this be factored in? I understand if so, as you do not want excessively slow racers anywhere

 

[Wardez]

If you're slow, like past 107% slow, then we shake up the demonstration by seeing how well you deal with being "blue flagged" so to speak. So I'd have you run around the track normally with me, then let you go for a bit only to catch back up creating a lapped traffic scenario to see how well you manage around different points in the track.

It breaks down as follows:
Dedication (meaning you'll show up to every race or let us know well before that you can not) - 40%
Awareness and racecraft - 30%
Knowledge of procedure - 20%
Outright pace - 10%

 

[FakeGangstaDIE]

I would definitely be interested in this. I raced gt500 a few months back with you guys at Motegi when it first came out as DLC. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Sounds reasonable, and if anyone is around this weekend I would like to test/compare for sure

 

[SG15]

Very happy to see that people are seriously interested on this series It would be a great season, I have no doubt. otherwise, Eddie and Den.. in the PURE forum i can't see JGTS2 post, Do you guys have to actived something?

Thanks!!

 

[paulmac2k9]

It's at the bottom of "Active series" .

 

[SG15]

It's at the bottom of "Active series" .

Hey paul, long time no see jaja I can't see the Active series bottom, it's for that because I asked Thanks for the help anyway

 

[paulmac2k9]

I'll link you . Here

 

[Wardez]

Ok, just added you as a Pure member SG, try again now.

Yeah! slved problem. Thanks Eddie

 

[Wardez]

btw, just to leak a bit of information...

NSXs are gone, effectively replaced by the HSV-010.

*salutes*

Memories indeed:

 

[Denilson]

I remember that pic.. I was ahead of, in order.. GTP_timeattack, GTP_Aderrrm, Wardez and tony1311.. Those were the days.. Lost many positions after that picture was taken though..

Eddie: The YMS SUPRA is also excluded, or?

yanaran: Du måste va med i den här serien alltså!! Den e grym!


EDIT: Johan, I saw you registered on the site. I made you a "registered member", so you should be able to browse all forums now. Perhaps you need to log out, and in again for it to work.. Not sure though.

 

[xStretch-]

I'm up for this.

Is this replacing the WSGT?
