Is that an Ethanol engine?

In OB's words and favorite quote.... "Oh Boy"

Only OB would ask something like this while the rest of us admire it and wish we had one

but he's partly right, Ethanol = Alcohol.

God dang it, Manny!

Off topic: 1,000 views on my video...There goes my beautiful 2X paint.

Alright Gentlemen

March 18th

Spa-Francorchamps

GT 3 class

The race is a go

All the rules remain in place, except one.

The mandatory tire compound change restriction has been lifted

This race will be all about track position, wise pit stop(s) selection and patience on the track.

Learning when and how to pass will be key to winning

Believe me. 90 minutes will be brutal.

​

All the rules remain in place, except one.

The mandatory tire compound restriction has been lifted

What does it mean exactly?

Something regarding this one?

Tire Compound Change: On/Yes

Does it mean that we must use different tires compound?

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

Something regarding this one?

Does it mean that we must use different tires compound?

What it means is that we NO longer have to switch our tire compound.
It means that when you go for a pit you can keep the same tyres that you are running with.

Before we had to change tyres but that is NO longer the case!
Just smart Pit Strategy my friend!

 

[o_OPaTricKO_o]

OK, thanks Manny!

If I right understand, the following rule (taken from page 83) has to be updated?

Tire Compound Change: On/Yes

 

[Rickrmtskingdom]

Must share this V8 engine blockView attachment 327417

Not a V8! It's a "Beer8" lol

 

[o_OPaTricKO_o]

Wow! Ronda Rousey still the champ after only 14 seconds fighting!!!

 

[tarkus1]

I know, I know, I'm a wee bit early on this one but I was just too excited after the events of last week. I had to post my casual night agenda now. One big thing to note for this week just to change things up, and since it went over so well last week, boost will be set to week and slipstream set to strong unless noted otherwise. We had such a blast and got requests for this so who am I to disagree?
race 1 - deep forest at 600PP race car.
race 2 - VFT with 550PP any car
race 3 - This race will NOT have B/S settings on. This will be a real 10 lap race using the Ayrton Senna F3 car at the Indianapolis speedway. The tuning is unlimited with no PP or Hp limit.
race 4 - back by popular demand: Midfield Mayhem one make. Just like last week with 10 laps and B/S on. Same Subaru.
race 5 - winner of previous race decides PP and track of next race. B/S still on and 1-10 laps depending on track.
race 6 - 675PP race. VFT. B/S on.
race 7 - Again, back by popular demand, The 2nd Daytona 77 challenge. Have that NASCAR ready !!!!
race 8 - winner of Daytona 77 challenge picks next PP limit and drinks double the normal consumption for the next race. VFT. B/S will be on.
race 9 - The OB revenge or many revenge race is back on since it was missed last week. 535PP limit any car and VFT. No B/S on this one.
Race 10 if time permits - The Tarkus exodus. I'm celebrating moving on from my job after 25 years and after this race I will have 1 day left!!!!! Time for a change, so I'm calling the shots on this race and I will say Midfield is the frontrunner for tracks..

Keep in mind there will be a set 5 or 6 minutes between races and the first race will start at 8:05Pm EST.
see you guys on the track!!!
T

 

[Eh Team]

race 1 - deep forest at 600PP race car.

I've done that before and boy does it ever keep you on your toes. Looking forward to that one and the Senna race. Also congratulations on not necessarily using the R word

 

[jr4737]

What B/S stand for ?????

 

[Obelisk]

Hey guys, just gonna bite the bullet here.

I'll volunteer to start in last place in the Spa race so I don't start the race off poorly for everyone.

 

[MRTeam]

Do your best during the qualifying session and who knows.
There's still a week to go.

You guys could even get crazy and force it into Casual Night.

tarkus1 has the BMW Z4. Hmmmm.

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

Well if my understanding is right Tarkus Is going to use some serious BS In this Casual night!!

Not that type of BS tho
I am sure B/S stands for:

Boost & Slipstream = BS

I can't help to read the agenda adding BS in to the B/S

You guys need to give it a try!!!

 

[tarkus1]

Do your best during the qualifying session and who knows.
There's still a week to go.

You guys could even get crazy and force it into Casual Night.

tarkus1 has the BMW Z4. Hmmmm.

I'm waiting for the world tours to return.

 

[jr4737]

Tomorrow night I will have a open public room for 500pp sport soft tires at Midfield
anyone interest can jump in
possible 5 races and 5 laps each
SAC 500pp sport soft
8:00 pm EST

 

[MRTeam]

I'm waiting for the world tours to return.

We're actually in the middle of one right now. The GT3 World Tour class, but I know what you mean.

Hint: The first one will BMW M4s.

 

[Eh Team]

Hey guys it's EH Team's pre race conspiracy time (oh yay, I can hear you all saying it) but this one is more about PD and the game. Eh? you say, haha gotcha there anyway, I've always noticed the lake on trial mountain at the corner that leads into the final chicane, I thought it was a nice touch. Then tonight when I decided to check out the photo finish taking capability at mid field reverse on the crossover bridge, took forever to get there, but on the way I had a look over the mountainside just before the tunnel. Lo and behold I see a lake and some mountainous terrain so I went on a hunt to find out if maybe the tracks were all in the same sort of mountain range because they all have rocky terrain save for High Speed Ring, so here are the results of my findings.

The curiosity cause

There's something here

Holy 🤬 that's a start/finish line! (not sure which yet)

Here we are looking up from the back straight of deep forest from a packed race, this comes into play soon.

Top of the Cape Ring loop, there's something down there but I don't know what.

looking down into the valley before the loop, there's something halfway to the right.

HOLY 🤬!! Try to tell me that's not Deep Forest's back straight, I see the tunnel and everything, no Hondas though.

At Grand Valley now, more lakes hmm

Some of these mountains are starting to look familiar, no track sightings though

Trial Mountain, yet another familiar mountain here. I'm very suspicious now.

And of course the lake you've seen a million times by now. Hey there's more familiar mountain lines here too.

There they are again, what the 🤬 is going on here?

This lake too, seriously something is up here.

High Speed Ring, this mountain is in every :censored:ing picture, I swear all the tracks are near each other.

A lake, dam, and more lake with a slightly different mountain. hmmm

The rest of the dammed lake, looks slightly familiar?

A suspicious road leading away from High Speed Ring's infamous final corner.

That looks kinda famili... OH 🤬 that's Trial Mountain's downhill straight to the lake!

High Speed Ring on the way down to the second corner, definitely a track down there, which one I'm not sure.

Some very familiar mountains looking across the track at Apricot after the hairpin.

Slightly less familiar mountains off of the first corner at Apricot, but what is that off to he right?

More guardrail, might be a farmers road, might be the road to the grandstand. Come on who puts guardrail that close to the road? No one that's right, so this must be another track we don't have yet. Oh and who said I don't crash, that's me backing out of the sand there. Proof I can be an idiot behind the wheel more than the keyboard.
​

So in summary, PD has definitely created some kind of awesome mountainous country to put all it's fantasy tracks in and we all want to go live there, also EH Team is one crazy bugger who crashes quite a bit.

Edit: Long story short, yes you can take pictures of sweet photo finishes from the bridge on mid field reverse.

 

[MRTeam]

I like the time put into the research. 👍👍👍
If there's one specific group at PD I admire most.
It's the group responsible for creating the track. Both the fictional and the real tracks.

Grand Valley. A masterpiece.

Bring back all the tracks from previous GTs and I'll be happy.
Hong Kong
New York
Special Stage Route 11(both versions)
Seattle
Grin Wald
The original Rome and Rome at Night
Paris
Las Vegas
etc.

I know I'm missing a few.

Wow! Very meticulous work and impressive result, respect!!! 👍 👍 👍

@GTracerETeam

Great Work and Research!! I am Impressed with all the Pictures you brought here and how deep you went in to the research... You should submit this in the GTPlanet News Section or maybe search if there is somebody with a similar research like yours cause to be Honest this is really interesting And now I want to know if PD did this on Purpouse!!

Yeah, @GTracerEHTeam. You should create a thread in the GT6 forum about the fascinating research you've been doing.

I think some people could really get into it & we may discover even more about it as the discussion develops.

If you do, I suggest that @Terronium-12 might even include it in the GTPlanet Community Spotlight. 👍

 

[MRTeam]

Do some research first.
If I remember, someone did a thread on this using photos from previous GT games.
You could combine the two into a 'past and present' thread.
