Cant we just take the BOP from the Quickmatch or from a gt3 racing series in the forum. So that the cars are more equal. I think it would be more fun if the cars would be a bit more equal. Nevertheless I will drive a german car if i can make the event. Not sure which though.

This one for example
I did not check the cars yet. Just from what i have heard. That the ford is soo fast etc

Arveena, very good link, we should think about this:cheers::cheers::cheers:
 
when i first picked the ford i had not even ran it. Then we had a practice room going one night and it was just killing other cars. I said to mazda that night i was not using it because it was to fast(didnt feel good about it). Simply posted the next day i was moving on because car was to fast and i shouldnt drive it. So after it was adjusted i kinda thought good i can go back and use the car because its more fair now, not taking the easy way out at all , just love the car! But all that said looking forward to tunning another ride up!

Congratulations. Well spoken.



Congratulations Well spoken.
The numbers are from the current Quick Match in Gran Turismo 6.
The Ford GT numbers are from another GT3 thread. I reduced them from 466HP to 460HP.

How many have done a test with Fuel/Tire Wear set to very fast?
Is the Ford GT good on tire wear or will it break down quicker compared to the others?

It's not what you drive that makes you a winner. It's how you drive it.
Accept the challenge or accept last place.

You did said that, and you went out and bought 2 cars right away and start tuning within time limit.

nice link, and those specs mentioned in the link looks more even....

I am not sure will it be too late to change all the specs for the Jan race, or we can use that as a reference for future race....

it's up to our racing director.... sir tjger... :)


👍👍

the reduction on the hp for the Ford doesn't really bring down its performance and laptime...

I bought one last night and drove it for about 15 laps...

a testing run means I've only done minimum tuning, set transmission to 300km/h, alcheng-default-setting on camber/toe. didn't touch the aero.

I can feel the difference between the GT40 and the SLS right away!!!

consider I haven't 100% get used to the GT40...

and within 5 laps I've done a laptime faster than the SLS that I've been testing for 3 days!!!

Same driver, different car, 1 sec+ difference at initial test.

it's 2 different cars.

After the run last night, I compare the specs between the GT40 and the SLS....

it is easy to figure out why the GT40 is the better car.....

SLS:
452hp
502lb/ft
1350kg
2.98kg/hp
FR platform
582pp

GT40:
460hp
552lb/ft
1330kg
2.89kg/hp
MR platform
580pp


and what surprise me is even the GT40 has more power and lighter weight, it has a lower pp..!!!!


I am not being a whining guy in here, I've said I am staying with the SLS and I am staying with the SLS.


But the Ford GT40 clearly have an advantage in here, both on the book and actual experience.

:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Can someone invite me to the Enduro Club so i can join your practice seasions?
Btw if the Ford would be 10sek faster than the german cars there is no way i would get into that as a german :P

in the "Community" in GT6, go to your "friends", then look for tjger, (if he's not on your friends list, send him a FR) and you can see what club does he has and you can join it, same as the S.A.C. club, it should be under tarkus1.


or... if anyone can post the club id# of both clubs, then you can search the club by the id# and join them.



there's club fees though.... 3 dozens of Warsteiner.... :cheers::cheers:

I will have the keys to the track tonight.
One question. I posted 455 for the Merc.
The post above has 452. Is it a typo on my part?

Around roughly 6:30 PM EST.

prolly because of the oil change...

it bumps up the pp and hp after the oil change thus when I push down the pp to 582 the hp will drop to 452... the torque is higher after the oil change @ 502lb/ft
 
Ok, I found the link. I used it and thought about adding the other cars.

The problem is the additional limitations.

Some of you guys like running turbos and some don't.
So that's the gray area.

Tonight we'll play around.
To make it fair, both the Mercedes SLS and Ford GTs could recieve additional restrictions.
 
curious to see what the results of the testing is!!!
link looks promising
extra testing sounds promising
I'd rather have more restrictions and a more level playing field if someone has done all the dirty work for us...
at the end of the day I just hope for a diverse field....

I just wonder how the uniqueness of the track plays into our difficulty....
its not like we're racing Leguna with more twisties and short burst straight aways and normal road racing...
Here we're just trying to find the fastest missile with the best brakes!!! : )

I may be around tonight to play a bit too......
 
The big issue I see at Daytona are the MR cars and the first turn especially since the Audis are unpredictable and love oversteering. Do any any of the FR GT3s struggle with that first turn?
 
the more you crank that decel lsd to improve stability - the harder it is on some of those tighter turns in the infield which can really suck time... and if you have it too high you are going to struggle at the switchback in the oval...
It took a bit of work but I got the vette sooorda stable same with the z4... nothing as stable as the my ford or the sls... so its just hard to choose either over anything that's just a hair more stable...

the difficulty here with our group that I've found is that as fast as everyone is... it's REALLY hard to find that balance between a fast car and a fast STABLE car...

I use OBs DTM race for example - your DTM car was FAST - but it was not stable under traffic and braking situations where control was needed

I use tjger as an example - he is not alien fast - but he always performs incredibly well in main events due to yes his race planning - but mainly because he's got the most planted most stable car of the field...

this race will be difficult as people will probably opt for the car that is the most stable with the least downforce possible... the gtr and the audi's are going to take someone who really wants a challenge and is fine with any result but just wants to see if they can do good with a car that likely isn't going to be the vegas favorite

this is what Team Vodka's strategy may be...
I have garaged a fast Ford GT
I don't have a fast vette... maybe I shall build one podium be damned

Ole buddy, you nailed one of the most important point on the setup... 👍👍

basically every car struggle at going into the first turn since you are hard-braking along a curve at top speed (270km/h) to about 100km/h.

tip: setup your brake properly.
 
I tested only one car the BMW.
I love it! Eveything stock and it feels pretty good. Will go with the Bavarians. Only funny thing is the car is stock and i match the hp and kg to tijgers but git 3pp more dunno why? Btw what is wring with you americans to build such a track so naaroow at the infield and then so huge at the oval. Willbe hard to find a setup
 
Team Vodka has been tinkering with new ideas in the shop all day today........................
