Congrats for the wedding. I just like to hear from you when it is possible.
I wish you all the best, good friend. Take care. 👍

@DaBomm4 did the oil change related discussion necessary test so,
I will "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar". 👍

The unrecoverable power boost behavior at the initial oil change which was available for GT5 is no more working the same way for GT6. Thank you, you were right. 👍

 

[OdeFinn]

I have updated the CTR Yellowbird, BMW E93 M3 ( 1611kg ), F40 EU Market replica with the ballast position that you tested, the old position are optional now.

Big Man takes things right, thank you for your approach on this, wasn't easy thing to gather balls to push these things out, and it takes more balls to receive this feedback, you're guy who take it right. Hopefully you'll get bargain deal for new tv or easy fix on old one. Sad to see blind man, you need your eyes. Or/and we need your eyes!

As I'm writing this I see @Thorin Cain has just answered , as for @Brewguy44 , I haven't seen him in a while, I do miss him, hopefully he's just busy brewing up some more potions .

I'm a bit busy this month, getting everything prepared for my wedding so that's taking a chunk out off my time and a lot of my energy. I've also been having some health issues, it's been a bad year for me, I'll know more on what's happening when I finish my tests in the month of august. Just seems everything is irrelevant right now and I'm not feeling as much joy and energy as what I'm use to having.

I haven't had the energy to write up some reviews on all the cars we've been driving from @Ridox2JZGTE , it's a shame because there were some incredible cars in the lot. So it's nothing to do with any off you here . On the good side I've been able to usher my first words since three weeks, you should have seen me at work trying to explain how a digital recorder works with only a broken whisper coming out of my mouth (I really do find that funny), so one thing getting better now just got to fix the rest of the body, too bad the warranty is finished . I'll be there saturday for the first race 👍.

Hey, I'm here and I hope you are feeling better and Congrats on getting married 👍 I'll be celebrating 23 years this September of being married to my lovely wife (she's standing right behind me!!)

so I have to say this.

 

[TurnLeft]

It seems life is testing us all in one way or another Nobody said it'd be easy, I suppose.
I can only hope the ups outweigh the downs my friends

Well saturday will be an up 👍, hope @RMan72 & @joaosoarescso can join in .

TL I really wish you well 👍 Your health is important and I do hope that your voice returning is the first of many good signs and a full recovery from the problems you face, will come

Now you guys will know what you will have to avoid on the track, I am struggling with finding my braking zones, either I am way too early or I shoot straight through.

In case you are following me you must know that I tend to brake a bit early(and sometimes late ), so be careful, i have enough of my doctor giving me a prostate exam , don't need the car to get one too .
smiley S&M prostate exam = 👍

Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials @TurnLeft! That's really nice to hear... 👍 What isn't so nice to hear is you having health issues. I hope you're going to be alright. I am no stranger to health related problems. So, I know how draining things can get. Hang in there my friend.

Thanks buddy, and you too hang in there, my thoughts are with you .

Whaa, wedding comes first mate, congrats

Actually, we did almost everything in the wrong order, kid then house now marriage , we did this to celebrate our 25 years together , thanks my friend .

Congrats for the wedding. I just like to hear from you when it is possible.
I wish you all the best, good friend. Take care. 👍

Thanks Dan, and I am trying hard to take care , from a heavy smoker I'm down to 5 or 6 a day, just hope I haven't damaged too much of my vehicle, it's a great model when it runs right .

Hey, I'm here and I hope you are feeling better and Congrats on getting married 👍 I'll be celebrating 23 years this September of being married to my lovely wife (she's standing right behind me!!)

so I have to say this.

Thanks Tom, it's good to see you and the wife have still got the fire running, you should consider buying her some lightweight frying pans , it's saved me from a lot of headaches . You think you'll be able to make it for the first race saturday? .. It would be real cool 👍.

Big Man takes things right, thank you for your approach on this, wasn't easy thing to gather balls to push these things out, and it takes more balls to receive this feedback, you're guy who take it right.

And it takes a big man to hold on to his convictions when knowing it may not be well perceived 👍. I don't agree with everything you say but having different opinions and discussing things civically is something of a lost art on most of these forums, don't change that, .... just change your driving , go slower, much slower .

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

I've been running with the Maserati and I'm running around 1:40 to 1:41 , BL was 1:39.671, how are you guys doing?
Also the tire and fuel wear is almost non existing, something wrong? I've been using the practice track in the club events.

EDIT: Just checked, it was set to normal, will that be it for the race?

Most of different things in world are just opinions. Like this case if I ever want to race these cars with you I have to say publicly that opinion what I have counted about ballast system, I want all to enjoy things on same line. I'm giving my opinions to all, because I want people to find those things as I did. On this case it was not easy thing, I have some different views on values inside game. Some facts are supporting (considering facts is also IMO), will my opinion be trusted or not is not the thing, I have now more valuation on Ridox tunes, there is one part what we're having "totally" different views, but I'm ok with that, logic is good and ratio is most important there.
Congrats for wedding.

I've been running with the Maserati and I'm running around 1:40 to 1:41 , BL was 1:39.671, how are you guys doing?

I'm going on offline 2 seconds faster on racing hard than sport soft. Not tested online yet.

 

[danbojte]

My own theory is that not the numbers are important, just don't pull hard. 👍

Just checked, it was set to normal, will that be it for the race?

Yes it will be normal, RH tyres, 1 Mandatory Pit Stop.

I'm giving my opinions to all, because I want people to find those things as I did.

Thanks for that. 👍 I've retested your Controller sensitivity advise and it does make a difference even on a wheel, indeed. I kept your suggested 6 value.

 

[danbojte]

BL was 1:39.671, how are you guys doing?

I don't know what BL is, but if I remember well I did some 1:38.xxx on RH... 👍

 

[TurnLeft]

Best Lap .

 

[TurnLeft]

@joaosoarescso , I see that you've sent me a message on PSN but I can't access it, I can't connect to the server, when I can I'll answer unless you can tell me here. Seems they are doing some maintenance for my part of the world right now.

 

[Thorin Cain]

I don't know what BL is, but if I remember well I did some 1:38.xxx on RH... 👍

Excuse me my good man, but was that offline or on? And what's the normal difference between the two?

This is one of those moments were I'm off to make sure I haven't got too much power of fitted RS tyres instead I just did about 8-10 laps off-line and was doing mid-low 1:38s and a couple of 1:37s

Ok, one of them was a 1:45 that saw me building some sandcastle too, but

 

[RMan72]

And what's the normal difference between the two?

I find its usually 1 to 2s slower on line.

Think I run a few 1:38's with @danbojte on Monday night in the practice room on SS with half fuel. I've only quickly tried RH and all my braking points are messed up

Cool, that helps explain things a bit. If you guys are running those times on SS I still have much work to do

Edit: Fixing silly typo

 

[DaBomm4]

Cook, that helps explain things a bit. If you guys are running those times on SS I still have much work to do

I was running 1:40+ online on RH so I know what you mean.

 

[danbojte]

On RH it's not spectacularly faster, because the car handling needs a different approach. 👍

I was running 1:40+ online on RH so I know what you mean.

From my observation, the first and the last corner are very important on this track, but for those sake keep in mind to not sacrifice the constancy. 👍

Also, for all racers - please, when you want to pit stop, take the pit entrance line which is pretty early and keep right.

 

[DaBomm4]

Also, just for reference of my driving skill, less than an hour ago I unlocked S-Class, and I bought GT6 on day 1.

This is not a problem - you're on the right way. 👍

, OMG , good thing I`m starting in the back , I`m 2 seconds slower and I was online , but it`s going to be a long race so maybe I can find some kind of distraction for you guys.

Think I run a few 1:38's with @danbojte on Monday night in the practice room on SS with half fuel. I've only quickly tried RH and all my braking points are messed up 

You know there`s no rule against you using SH 👍, if you want of course .

 

[DaBomm4]

This is not a problem - you're on the right way. 👍

I know, we are all about making sure everyone is having fun. I should have said "Fun Fact".

 

[Thorin Cain]

Don't you worry my friend. As @danbojte said, consistency counts I'm sure we'll end up fighting it out for last place at some point

Good point about the first and last corners I find the second one can be very important too 👍

 

[OdeFinn]

Hmm.. 1:37.5 online, with average mistakes and carrying my +70kg.
There is room to push 1:36.

 

[joaosoarescso]

Online servers back on again?

They came back on around 20:05 over here in sunny Scotland

 

[OdeFinn]

Tested Maserati without ballast, only original 130kg, was bit disappointment for me, I need to practise more with my ballast.
Here's video of my first time on RH tires "0"-ballast, if someone say after this at he could not push it under 1:38 I'm really surprised, if this helps to achieve it I'll be glad.
As you see there is no good lap at all, every lap was just struggling around track. So improvising lines is enough.

 

[TurnLeft]

@danbojte , can you check the video that @OdeFinn provided. I have a question about the way he takes the before last curve to the start. Are we allowed to cut like that in the pit lane to make the curve? Just want to make sure that we are all doing this the same way, I was under the impression that you couldn`t cross the solid white line. One way or the other is fine with me as long as we all do it the same way 👍.

Struggling ? Really OD, c`mon that`s not struggling, this is struggling...

​

 

[ALB123]

I've always driven Red Bull Ring the same way OdeFinn is driving it, in regards to that area that TurnLeft has questioned. I guess I never even payed attention to the fact that it's a marker for the pit entrance. There are red/white curbs on the right side there, so I've always treated the entire tarred area as track, just as OdeFinn has done. Obviously, I will go with whatever ruling danbojte issues. Good question, TurnLeft. 👍

 

[danbojte]

Are we allowed to cut like that in the pit lane to make the curve?

Obviously, I will go with whatever ruling danbojte issues. Good question, TurnLeft. 👍

Yes, my friends, he's doing it just right. 👍 Those Pit Entrance and Exit white lines must be respected by the cars who wish to use the pits for not disturbing the other racers.

Keep in mind that the other racers have priority over the Pit users. Also, the other racers are not allowed to use those white line delimited areas if there is already a Pit Stopping car (Entrance and Exit).

And like I said before, please if you wish to enter for Pit Stop, take that white line delimited area for that, which is pretty early and stay there, on the right side.

 

[OdeFinn]

How many have dropped second or two on their lap times now?
My practising was to look well that real-life Maserati wet lap what's linked on event post, from there I steal few cornering entry's, and "normal" lines for track. Braking points.. well there are those, but don't know where, what I know is how to brake Maserati quickly.
Don't loose traction, in either way, during acceleration or heavy braking, if you keep this in mind you'll time is going to be fast.

This is why I'm posting the videos on the Event. 👍 I just didn't wrote there - Please, watch it.
