RIDOX Replica Garage Fan Club - Suspended

[Thorin Cain]

Went out and bought, built, painted and tested the car

I had a quick battle with some bots in an arcade race to give it some competition. There's not a lot of power to be had, but an immense amount of fun

Little brother didn't stand a chance

Colour: Grigio Alfieri (Maserati)

 

[Brewguy44]

Since we can't put numbers on these it might be good to use different colors to help us identify who's who on the track.
I used the color Pearlescent Lime Green Pearl with Metallic Rosso Monza for the wheels.

I was going to suggest someone use Midnight Purple, but you beat me to the punch with Amaranth. Hope everyone can enjoy themselves this weekend with this fun car while I'm a state away from my PS3.

It's one of the exceptions. Great pictures indeed. Yes, the new GT-R is one of the beauties. 👍

It's a shame right when you have the pole position...

Oh shi...t, there goes my podium .

There is going GT6 graphics and features overview/review on twitch tv, narrated Jay Leno style. Something about online racing occasionally shown but dubbed with review and other jargon.. Urgh.

I think that GT-R on the right needs a little more negative camber in the rear.

• #_4 @DaBomm4 RETIRED

• #46 @Thorin Cain +20kg at -31 Grigio Alfieri

• #81 @OdeFinn +40kg at -23

• #_7 @danbojte +80kg at -16

Quick verification of used ballast, 20, 40 kg are on same line, but 80 is bit front dropped. Car is slightly more on 41 side than 59, and those 20 and 40 are there too, 80 is on other side, making more on 59 side. Middle point for 80 between -16 and -15, so -14 will mimic same as on other ballasts.


Kg (most front point/most rear point/range in clicks) middle point, or if middle between two clicks then click towards rear
20 (-##/-6/##) -32 (checked from linear chart)
30 (-49/-6/44) -27
40 (-39/-7/33) -22
50 (-33/-7/27) -18
60 (-29/-7/23) -17
70 (-26/-8/19) -16
80 (-24/-8/17) -15
90 (-22/-8/15) -14 it smoothens after this

Not as i said above, but this would be easy schema to check exact middle points, BUT car without ballast is NOT on exact 59.0/41.0, it's closer 58.7/41.3 or even more to rear. Maybe we should use weight reduce on stock and add weight to some exact location and then do ballast to follow that WD.?

Perfect I'll update then. Thank you. 👍

Think before update, check and test, I can test too. Those current were out at least, your 80 kg was really front heavy, drifter, others were on balance.

OK, please you do the tests and let me know the final values. 👍

 

[OdeFinn]

Keep original positions, car has normal tendency to understeer, and those positions keeps same amount of understeer on all weights. Even it's varying now bit on weight distribution those your values are most suitable to keep car handling close to same on all weights.
That 80kg judgment of drifter is out, same happens all weights, base body movements are just fine on all weights, positioned as you planned. Sorry for opening my mouth

No problem, my friend. 👍

 

[OdeFinn]

Or we do weight reducing stage one and 0 ballast cars start on 77kg at -18 (click to front)
20kg (77+20=97) at -17 (half click to front)
40kg (77+40=117) at -15 (half click to front)
80kg (77+80=157) at -14 (half click to front)

That keeps all same behaviour too, test what you prefer.
Moving toward rear changes behaviour on bigger ballast.

Edit, still that your first idea of ballast positions feels good.

OK, we'll stick with those. 👍

1:11.190 on Practice room 5 lap race.. let's see what happens on actual race.

 

[joaosoarescso]

Hey guys I know this is a little by to far offset but this is happening to me

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/issue-with-seasonal-events.331944/

And i don't know why i resettled the game, cleaned the cache and did always end up doing that, i putted a video to show what really happens, if someone could help me i would be much appreciated because I'm missing alot of races and $$$ for cars and tunes

 

[ALB123]

So, I was doing a couple of laps around the Nurburgring with Ridox's Yellowbird - trying to see if I could possibly match OdeFinn's time. My first lap was a disaster. My second lap, while definitely off OdeFinn's pace, was going much better...Until this happened:

I've never had my track go all crazy like that... I really hope this isn't a sign that I'm going to start experiencing issues with my GT6 installation. Since this happened I don't leave my PS3 running 24/7 anymore. Needless to say, when my track went crazy that was the end of my lap. Maybe I'll take the Yellowbird out tonight for a couple more attempts. I still think CM tires are just a little too wild for me on that track. I think CS is the way to go for my skill level. OdeFinn's video (on CM tires) is fantastic...I wish I could control my car the way he does! 👍

 

[ALB123]

It's been very quiet in here lately... I know why the Garage is quiet - Ridox's TV committed suicide - but that doesn't explain the crickets in here! Where da white womins at?! Are all the regulars racing today??

 

[danbojte]

I have to build a new car because I forgot and changed the oil.

 

[danbojte]

Restored from USB. ☺

What you mean?

 

[danbojte]

I returned before the oil change.☺

Hey ALB Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this, but I forgot In fairness I was half asleep when I saw it, so...

Well, let me try and answer....with a little hindsight in hand

Well, I would imagine so yes I'm pretty sure @danbojte and @OdeFinn will be in there respective "Hakosuka" ready and raring to fight it out for the highest step on the podium There go the first two places....
@TurnLeft will no doubt be there for the first race as usual, before having to take his leave early to go to that nasty four letter word (No ALB, not that one....work ) so I'll have a fight on my hands for last place in the first race at least But probably not a hard fight, because I suck round here

I heard a rumour that R2D2 was seen in the area too. @RMan72 will probably turn up and do the double or something
That turning circle of his will do wonders on Tsukuba

As for poor ole @ALB123, He'll turn up, unless by the GT Gods' planning, some other evil fate keeps him from racing or he falls asleep wheel in hand, again

I'm not sure about @Brewguy44, though. I heard him hard at work in his shop late last night. So he'll probably be too exhausted and tucked up in bed still....or a little hungover of course

But, all I can say for sure is I'll be there and I'll be sure to enjoy it Whatever the outcome
