Add me as well, I'll run the B-Spec grinder all day tomorrow.

OK, thanks everybody.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

OK, thanks everybody.

You're welcome.


Anything to win fair, or lose fair. The keyword is simple; fair.


As for the prototype thing, Vol, I'm glad to hear you guys have caught up. Once BeRandom's back online, we'll all be testing and tuning and working together on my team, and I know that things will be cool.

 

[Jahgee]

I agree with you Melan, I would help anybody competing with me in my situation as well.

EDIT: My new PSN is on my profile, add me and when I log on soon, I will accept your FR's. I remember that a 23K Mustang and an affordable Honda S2000 are in my beginning UCD.

Teams...drafting...what its going on here?

And Nic is running on Sundays now...when did that start? I'm out of touch.

Wait this its a new thread... thought I was posting this in main thread. I gather this is replacing Garris' current tuesday night event.

I have to read through the op now, but I'd you are in need of a spare driver, put me down. I think I'll make a decent team mate for some group.

It's one of Vol's many ideas 👍

It's going to be loads of fun, from a driving a tuned car perspective to working with teammates

Nic started a couple of weeks ago 👍

One way to get back in touch

Indeed you are. Nic will have been running Sundays for a month this coming Sunday.

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

I have two people now wanting to be drivers. We will need spares, we have some that can't make it for all four weeks. But...

I have a slight problem. I'm not a good driver. I'm the slowest one on my team. What if I.. well.. need to "miss" a race so that the ringer could get more points for my team than I could. :/ Need to find a way to fix that.

We have room on the grid for more drivers, who has the next pick?

If we could get 2 more, we could have it best 3 of 4 drivers.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

This is the best idea. I just blitzed the thread and it looks amazing. well done Garris! I would love to become a part of this. If that's as a legitimate team member or "semi-super" sub I'm game. The idea of racing with a shared objective greatly interests me.

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Diabolic, you really interested in driving? Mopar said he is. That is two.

Mind you, I don't mind if they drive as independents.

As to put them on the teams, that would give us four teams of four drivers. That would be 16. In theory, we can run 16, but I've never been in a room with more than 14 drivers that didn't have connection issues.

As to missing drivers, we could just go with the top two drivers for each team. That fixes the missing driver problem.

You want to head up a new team?

Could be an issue. We could set mics off, do a test.

And diabolic 👍

If I could make the thumb size larger I would

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Diabolic and Mopar, on a team. Hehe! Okay, but there is a realistic concern...

since they came early, and aren't going through the draft, they get to pick their team and their team, let's face it, could be a bit heavy. So... if a team comes in second to them, they really shouldn't consider it a failure.

Maybe as a handicap, they don't get a third driver.

So right from the off, the best two drivers for each team counts. Mind you.. drivers will still be collecting points for themselves, and the third drivers will be tie breakers.

I can't wait until the 10th! I must needs race!!!!

 

[dabneyd]

Diabolic and Mopar, on a team. Hehe!

You never know, Diabolic could be a crap tuner.

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Oh, also, unrelated...

I think I'm going to bump the race length from 30 to 40 minutes. In testing last night, I could go 30 minutes without pitting. My tires were shot, and my lap times dropped, but I could do it. Going another 10... eh... theoretically possible, but not something I'd do. Hopefully that will make the race long enough that it makes sense to pit since you'll make up the 20some seconds lost in the pits.

So, I think Trial Mountain will be about 25 laps. I'm slow, so I'll see what sort of lap times others put in.

You never know, Diabolic could be a crap tuner.

Yes, well... it is possible Mopar could just take a stock suspension and do respectable.

Mmmm.. I should do laps in Bowler's car with the stock LSD/Suspension/Tranny just to see what sort of lap time difference I get. I once got a tune from the tuning forum that I liked, but found out I was faster in the stock trim.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

You never know, Diabolic could be a crap tuner.

As I've said many times..my cars aren't tuned. Stock auto trans, sports suspension and I'm good to go. I will change to full suspension for muscle cars and 4wd to achieve tighter turn in, but that's all. I don't think I want to tune our be a constructor because of time constraints. I'm perfectly happy racing w/ any tune. Once I work out the angle for turn in, I can correct on the fly with the d-pad quick enough to cancel out a horrendous tune.

Oh, I know, that's why I said it.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Oh how I've missed your insightful commentary.

 

[Jahgee]

My team, are any of you available today? I made some money off of the 4WD seasonal and can afford some cars, bring a fully weight reduced Mazda RX-7 Spirit R, Honda S2000 & Ford Mustang Mach 1 with All Aero Parts fitted. The Mustang should be in Grabber Lime. Message me on PSN if I am online and go into my lobby.

And sharp wit. Don't lie, it's the real reason you're back.

Everyone on the team should run slightly different colors if they run the same car, so we can tell them apart easily in the pictures (I'm going to use Chrysler's Orange Pearl Coat from the Prowler). They should all be green colors for your team, but slightly different green colors (maybe a lime, a sage, and a forest, for example).

Diabolic, Mopar, if you guys want to form a team, go for it. Pick a color (I think yellow, blue, purple, and brown are free). If you want to recruit someone to build tunes for you, you are welcome to.

 

[bdubclub]

What if we use the same colors but have different color rims? Would that be enough for you to tell them apart?

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Yes, actually, that would work. And you can use the same color on different cars.

I really wish PD had put a simple livery editor in the game. That would give the teams a chance to pick the same base colors and have different highlight colors.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Blue is fine with me, Mopar.

Cool, I really want to paint my car Light Matte Red, only problem is I don have that paint chip. If anyone has one, I will trade whatever I have that you want for one. 👍

 

[Chiochan]

i think i have light red matte, let me check.

 

[kcheeb]

I might have an extra one too, I'll try to remember to check tonight

So when are you going to join the S.N.A.I.L.s on Sundays bdub
