I thought my choice would be easy. But I won't be able to come to a decision tonight. Narrowed it down to 3 of the 4 cars I was considering though. So thats some sort of progress I suppose.
 
Was testing the Oreca earlier and I'm actually having trouble with it. It suffers from MR spin, so I need to work on it this week.

I'm testing an R8 with my other candidates and that was one of my issues with the car. I searched some tunes and tweaked them a bit to get it drivable. So it's possible, you'll get there.
 
I did try my normal RWD trick with the toe angle.but that didn't help. I think some left-foot braking is in order.

the good about simulation is you can try different setup and make adjustment to any degree you want.

and you can always go back to the previous if doesn't work.

that means, you are suggested to try some setting which could be absolutely out of your box.

at the cost of just pressing couple X and < > buttons, try to adjust the chassis radically.

sometimes you'll be surprised.
 
Team Vodka Official Press Release:

Team Vodka is disappointed to share that they will not be able to make the redo of the DTM event.
Team Vodka has other engagements however as is our policy we would have boycotted the event anyway. We here at Team Vodka understand that not everyone has the same mentality of "be prepared for anything".
Due to the nature of our product we believe there are no "do overs" in life. We believe that if you text some skank at 2 in the morning... you may get herpies... If you get herpies you can't blame it on the bad parking spot you got at the bar. We do hope that in the future you can take whatever life throws at you. It can be one hell of a ride!

Having said that... we are pleased that our driver has returned from his "herbalist recommended sabbatical" and has done some actual testing over the last few days.
We have noticed from his cell phone records calls from a few American Manufacturers as well as a German manufacturer.
We should be able to share with you our selection for the January event in due time...

Please enjoy some pictures from recent testing
......and we'll see you at the redo of this Thursday night's event because someone spun out because they cant hold their liquor.

Manny our connection is more than just our love for the Ford GT!!!!!!

Please enjoy this picture of my first car... (1991 or so)
I paid cash for it when I was 15yrs old
$3200 cash

I worked at Hardee's fast food restaurant making $3.56 an hour...
I knew I wanted one since the first one I saw and I saved up for it and bought it....
had 2 10inch woofers in the back...
I would jam Firehouse, Poison and Def Leppard
.........as I do to this day (just in a cooler car)

Ole
recap:
everyone got excited about our casual night and stories and pictures and recaps...
then everyone got excited and posted pictures of their December main event cars
until they got distracted by the non sanctioned CRX cage match race to the death
then everyone got distracted into deciding which color their sls was going to be...

just another 6 forum pages weekend...
Meanwhile, both Mallet & Mrs Mallet returned to their home town where they are currently working together on the same job. This is a very pleasant time for their, occasionally geographically challenged, marriage; however, they don't have much free time for racing.
St_Bridge44 updated to v1.14 yesterday & managed to get behind the wheel for around 15 minutes. M_Mallet_Jr has yet to update.
Perhaps Mr Bridge may make a brief appearance at a casual night soon...
 
Question for tiger or other ford gt drivers. I set pp but hp did not match and vise versa? So what is the hp or pp i should be at? Also weight again thanks. I got booted twice off server last night in league racing and it cost me 2 races
 
Mphile - I was testing off the PP number (which allowed for a lower HP number) and that was giving me times more in line with the other vehicles... but yes - I was not getting matching numbers either
 
Hey bro that is good info on oil and engine! But I have another question. Tires! Is there an impact on tire wear and gas consumption with the different wheel and tire sizes? I heard PD worked alongside with one of the tire companies on getting as close to the real thing, but did they got that on the game or did they left something that important out? If you or anyone has any insight on this tire topic please let me know. Thanks!.

I could be wrong but I think I remember seeing something about the different wheel sizes being purely cosmetic.
 
wow.... you guys are all hype up..!!!

we haven't even done the re-run on the DTM and the Dec Main Event yet, and you guys are testing for the Jan Event already!!!

:bowdown::bowdown::cheers::bowdown::bowdown:

I've been testing Daytona only to determine what vehicle I might run. 12 hour shifts at job #1 are slowing the process. :banghead:

I'm actually super excited for DTM 1.5;) And HOPE to get some tests in before hand.
