Just wanted to inform you that I will be able to race this Saturday. I'm going to do some testing tonight when I have some free time and I'll also decide on my color choice then. Great to see that we'll have a full grid too!

Also would you be interested in having a photographer for the race? I'm one of the photographers in a league here on GTP and I would have no problem photographing the event. Here's a few pics I've taken from our league races.

All of those are from the game without any outside editing.

I'm hoping a few people taking part will get some pictures. I probably will anyway.👍

tyre wear is gonna kill the GTR's. after 5 laps my car was understeering everywhere and i was bout 4/5 seconds a lap slower. Being in the tow didnt help tyre wear either. oh it's going to be an interesting race!

See the Honda on the other hand seems to keep it's tires quite well, for me at least. After 10 laps I was on 60% left and 70% right. Of course the starting conditons play a part. It was about 16% track moisture so 10 laps on a dry track may just wear them out but I should be going for a 2 stopper this race.

So this should be a fun race in this chassis on the hards. I noticed pit stradegy is going to play a big role here. 2 long stops, or 3 short ones for me. Man this car guzzles some gas if you go 12 Laps!

12 laps on one set of tyres in the GTR?!?! Are you mad?! if you can pull that off you deserve to win, but i wish you the best of luck with that! I did 5 and the tyres were at about 50/55 %

 

[FlyingFox]

Akmuq and myself were in a very close race and the CR-Z's are goung to be very close indeed.

 

[m8h3r]

What happened in the end guys? I left for about 10 minutes and came back to an empty lounge?

Wow that's a 1st for me I usually am the tire burner. I can get 10 laps out these tires easily, but at that point I'm roughly 5 sec of pace'

I can't wait to see the pit strategies unfold here, I see a couple of pit scenarios with the fact that this 600+hp beast drinks more fuel than the tires degrade. And we're running racing hards, lol'

 

[RichyB28]

This race is gonna be all about the tyres for the GT-R racers, im geting about the same as joe about 10 laps before the tyres go right off, on a dry track u can either push hard and burn them up or take it easy and make them last longer. on a slightly wet track they will last much longer i have found. im hoping for some true spa weather (wet and dry during the race)

My new colour is blue, same number 83

Cheers akmuq 👍👍👍

 

[gorsad]

So after reading some of the posts I assume changing the brake bias is allowed. Also I don't have a mic, is that okay.

My colour is GT Gunmetal 001.

Anyways, looking forward to this, great idea akmuq

I may do a practice for you on sat evening?

 

[Akmuq]

Well the race is Saturday evening and the room will be up for 50 minutes before qualifying, but everyone else will need to make a room themselves if they wanna practice before that.

 

[m8h3r]

Ah well. I do a few laps if I get some spare time in-between now and the race.

[gokartman78]

been 'revising' for my exams this morning. just managed to do a 2:12.7 and managed 8 laps on tyres. lucky for me study leave has started, meaning i can get another 40 laps in by the end of the day

 

[gorsad]

Only done 6 laps so far, best lap of 2:42.2 so far. Can't wait for Saturday.

 

[paulmac2k9]

I ran my car in now so lets see what it can do with an extra 6bhp .

Get someone else to host it mate?

 

[Akmuq]

Get someone else to host it mate?

That's possible, but with 2 days till race(Got great :censored:ing notice here I did.) it might be too much of a challenge, if someone wants to step up, go ahead, it's why I haven't already locked the thread.

 

[Lizard]

I suppose I could host.
