Ok thanks Alex,
Any highlights of the race?
So I can make sure to capture the action đź‘Ť


I haven't look at the replay yet, but for the first 13 laps we have a great battle between Aveena, alexmavis, simalive and TEAM43...

because I was in front "blocking" them.... lol

really, lots of actions.

and the 3-6 laps after the pit stop, Aveena was right at my rear bumper for couple laps before I ran into TEAM43 when he spun out in the 1st tunnel...
 
And the last lap... I was just right in front of MPHILE, and I understeer into the tunnel-entry.... lost the 4th place to him..... on the last lap....... :banghead::banghead::banghead:

You'll get to the spot about halfway through where @Ole takes a bathroom break and parks his car in the tunnel. Maybe focus on him real quick and put in the sound of a toilet flushing. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

In the back of the pack, Ole and I had a few back-and-forths until he couldn't hold it any longer. But all the best stuff as the first couple laps and up front.
 
Hey Team,
I'm still working on the DTM video, but with holidays approaching its been hard to make videos lately
cause of work and cause when I have free time I use it to do some Christmas shopping.

Well anyways I had time to put this video together and hope you guys like it.....
specially @Ole :lol:

Freaking awesome dude! You got a Mazda scream and the epic finale audio.:lol: I forgot I was racing the beetle in that race... think I'll be bringing it out a bit more often. :cool:

Great job Manny!!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
 
SM hahahaha
I tried to like your post 2x
it didn't work...
I forgot about that...
yes we need to designate the appropriate road side rest stop locations for the future...
I do apologize for my mid tunnel bail out...
I'm not sure if I engaged the emergency brake either...
Team Vodka does apologize for any confusion our mid race bail out may have caused.
 
Guys check this out.
It might be old but look awesome

pretty cool - could mount triples easy enough with the same set up I did using 80/20 aluminum extrusion.
Would just take the time to think it out and build it... Wouldn't be that hard to build if you had the space and tools...
I still need to do my DIY tutorial on my getup.....
 
Let us know when you want u build one of this
My brother-in-law is *THIS CLOSE* to buying a PS3, a wheel and building a rig like that. I keep telling him how fun it is, and all the cool races. He can't take his vette to the track every weekend... so hopefully we'll have a new competitor on our hands soon...

Make sure you steer him in the right direction.
Things he needs to know.
We're having great fun with the PS3 and Gran Turismo 6.
The game and console can be purchased at an affordable price.

Starting next March Project Cars will be released. A PS4 game.
Gran Turismo 7 could be released late, late, late next year.

So he needs to know where he is stands and the cost.

Steering wheel. Thrustmaster. Either the T300 or the T500.

As far as rig. Go for it. I have the basic playseat with the T500 and a single 42 inch TV. Simple but fun.
 
I have an office chair, a $150 HDTV, a $100 IKEA thing and a PS3 bundle with a ds3.
Compared to some of the kits I've seen, it feels more casual than anything.
 
Thanks to all that made the r-u fast events tonight. It was a bit of a technical meltdown dealing with the servers but we got both races in! Sorry for all the delays re-setting room 3 times. Hope everyone was happy and had fun in the end! I posted all the results on r-u fast events thread if u guys want to check them out. I also would like to say sim put on a freaking show at the re-run megane trophy race(holy smokes!)

I missed the races do to Santa! Had to put together 2 huge doll houses and had to gift wrap everything else! Miss Claus better get me some bacon on Christmas!
 
Was a super nice race both of them. The first one i did a horrible strategy still got 2nd with 1 pitsop more then the rest and the fastest lap. Second race i spun out 3 times because i wanted to compete with you "stock" cars.:confused: ( see post in the other thread)

Not to take any credit away from you guys you were better and more consistent:bowdown:

But tiger pls write such informations in the description of the event. If you know that(di not know if your car had it installed) i still think its a bug because improving ridgity makes your car faster than e.g a carbon bonnet which is not allowed.
And its not stock of course. Somebody told me about the ridgity but i thought he meant the restore and not the improve.
Because the discreption of the event said stock.

That's still a personal preference to install the added rigidity.
Some like it and some don't based on their driving style and the track the car is used on.
That's why PD has decided to not include the body rigidity into the stock or not stock setting.


Besides, you were seen going into the tuning settings of your 'stock' car just prior to the Megane Trophy race.
Hmmm,

I didn't participate in the re-run last night but regarding the body-redgity issue, like tjger said, it's really a personal preference, thus there's no information on will it breach the "no tuning allowed" setting in the room thus many of us doesn't know is it allowed.

Personally I don't like it cause I found it induce understeer, but maybe it's me only.

But same as you, I didn't know body-redgity is allowed, since it's an expensive option and cannot be undone, I didn't do it on my Megane either because I am taking a risk of buying a new car.


hey but you know... regardless you finish 1st or 4th in a race....

We all know Aveena is catogorized as the Alien Class Driver. đź‘Ť

:cheers::cheers:

Yeah to change BB to the rear end which i did all the time in training because i didnt know and didn't tested it and you can say that should also not allowed in a stock race. But that depends on driving style. Body ridgity does not. Tryed it on an a lot of cars now (evo 10 to formula car) on tsukuba an it makes even a lot more difference on road cars and if you have other tyres i guess the harder the springs are the less diference it makes.

I did never thought it would make the cars faster but just make the body live longer. Now i neee to do it with all cars. Poor credits:boggled:

But i dont wanted to whine with that post dont get me wrong. I spun 3 times thats why i was so far back the field. I just wanted to ask if it was intentional or you just can not turn it off in the settings? When you usecar filter for e.g does this change anything?

Just to be sure i also tested overhaul engine an it does nothing even on the car with the most miles on it.:D
