[alcheng]

Don't get ahead of me.
Stay on course, stay on course.

Drivers must learn disicpline and patience both on and off the track.
My head is alread full of ideas and their bleeding into next year.

lol... just an idea buddy... you post your plan in here and we race...

 

[PaulGrey]

Is it too late to get in on this dealio?

Never too late Voodoo. Send a PSN FR to Tarkus1 and all will be good.

 

[MRTeam]

I'll probably repost tomorrow night's agenda tonight on both our threads.
I think it needs more smilies.

 

[MRTeam]

Ok here's the repost of our June 19th Casual night agenda

OK gentlemen. Our agenda for June 19th Casual Night
All 5 laps We start at 8:00 PM EST

500 PP
575 PP
540 PP
One lap around Special Stage X Bring the fastest vehicle you have.
560 PP
590 PP
625 PP
One make race. The new DLC track. A-1 ring with the BMW M3 GT(Motorsport) '11
One make race. You guys pick the track and car
570 PP
520 PP
600 PP
One make race Monza '80s(back by popular demand ) Subaru BRZ R&D Sport

This room will be public this week. 👍

So we will all meet at Trial Mountain. This should help everyone find us. Use the 'track filter' or 'friends' to find us.

Print this out and let's have fun.


For those seeing this for the first time.
Basically we gather and have fun racing around tracks that everyone votes on.
The PP numbers are all your car will be judged on. This gives everyone an opportunity to search their garage and do some preliminary tuning.

To break up the flow I've thrown a few 'one make races' in. The only tuning you can do is change tire compounds. Which is always Racing Soft.

All drivers aids are on.
As you gather confidence in your skills and practice driver discipline you may find it more challenging to reduce your dependence on those aids.

Bottom line. Casual Night is a car show where we gather and have fun.

This room will be public

After update I think I will spent some times to play around the cambers setting
Different ball games
What the <<.. they doing

 

[MRTeam]

As a T500RS wheel driver this update is a pain in my tail pipe.
Way too sensitive

I'm hoping for a hot fix or a feature to adjust the 'dynamic' blahhh.

do you find it is more difficult to drive? or the effect on change of camber angle becomes too sensitive?

 

[Arveena]

A few impressions for you guys from the national final at the nürburgring. Sadly I did not make it to silverstone. It was pretty close. Thanks you guy or giving me a bit of training i was able to compete with the aliens at the game. Big thanks and next year is my year. But i wont compete today in the casual nigh I am just to tired and down after yesterday. Hopefully i will be there next week. More information will follow

Nice going Arveena!!

 

[jr4737]

Tjger
I can not find the spec for GT300
What's the pp/hp limit and weight on each car

 

[MRTeam]

The dead zone has been reduced which I didn't mind.
Now the cars feel very light when I'm turning. There's no 'push' feel.
The back end will come around very easily.

I went back to Lemans with the Viper.
Now on the Mulsanne staright you can feel the car slamming(bottomoing out) onto the track.
The wheel is literally trying to jerk my arms out of the sockets.

I haven't touched any setting

Since the Tour of Japan will be similar to the Tour of Japan road cars.
The only number you need to worry about is the PP.

The four cars will be the Gariaya, Subaru BRZ, RE Ameyia, and the Lexus IS350
The PP numbers is.....520. Now don't tell anyone, ok.

Hopefully I'll ahve the announcement sheet done tonight.

i tried it yesterday with a GT300 and GT500 on couple different tracks (Mt.Panarama, Suzuka and R246)

didn't feel much a difference except i found it is easier to drive than before.

I ran both racing hard and racing soft on Mt.Panarama and both feel good especially the uphill section.

didn't try LeMans but I believe you will have to change the setup a bit to compensate the change on the software.

you might want to soften the suspension a little bit and see.

 

[MRTeam]

^^^^ "you might want to soften the suspension a little bit and see"

The suspension was soft and the ride height was maxed out at the highest setting.
I'm going to try and stiffen the suspension and see what happens. 💡

Tonight's Casual will be a feel and find for me.




ADDED: I may just like this new T500RS update.
My Dodge feels like its normal self again.

 

[Voodoovaj]

I can't be there today, It's been one of those days.

Congrats anyway Arveena. Still very impressive to get that far.

 

[mckeag53]

...I ended up pulling a 27' Bayliner around the track all race.

That's a boat isn't it? Just taking a guess because it sounds like a boat description.
That reminds me of a Chrysler Prowler I saw once. Had a trailer that perfectly resembled the backend of the vehicle of it self.

 

[mckeag53]

Hi Mac,
Good to see your still around.

I hate bragging but i've been doing some very special work. I'm proud to announce that I am starting a band with my best friend. We have nothing to lose so we're going all out. Have about 3 or 4 songs written on guitar and vocals now.
