STCC: Super Touring Car Championship - V8-Johnboy is the Champion!Finished

[V8-Johnboy]

Well I've put down the Lexus in your name for now! You're able to change before the start of the Season if you want!
I'm surprised to be fair at how many are going for the Lexus!

Like i say its early days im going to give it a run around my usual 2 test tracks along with the Audi and go from there. If the series commits to the "Real" draft setting the Audi will probably be a no go for me given how this sort of car usually performs on the straight stuff.

Well it depends if we have stubborn old farts (*cough cough*) in there who don't know where the Setup button is!
Nah, that's a typo.. I'll correct it in a minute 👍
You still interested?

 

[Scaniabebe]

Yes?

Sure! Is it okay if I only compete in the STCC though? One make races aren't really my cup of tea.

That's fine! By the looks of things and the lack (I mean great) organization here - we may not be running the One-Make for now.. It might be a bit too much for us all!

Btw, what's your PSN name mate?

Loving these double posts I'd recommend using the edit button. I know a person who got banned for over double posting 👍

You know what I'm like mate, too lazy to move my beer and navigate to the 'Edit' Button!

Never mind the doubles what about the hat-tricks and quadruples we always see dotted about.

I put my beer on the otherside 👍

Highlights from the test race earlier...

@Scaniabebe I will report back to you on what car I shall be driving tomorrow, gotta do some testing!

 

[raceorama123432]

Those cars look hot

You don't have to get back to me that quickly.. You've got about 3 weeks until the media day!

Those cars look hot

They'll look hotter when they've been lowered and have camber! I'm thinking about having the rule where wings are mandatory - so it at least gives it a more distinct look (I know it slows the cars)..

Oh good, It'll give me chance to give them a thorough testing!

Well what should you say I've done? Tested them to the point where I'm measuring how thick the paint is!

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Quick Monza Test.

Audi 1.59.1 (Top speed Monza straight 155 mph)
Lexus 158.8 (158 mph)
Volvo 158.5! (156 mph)

The Nissan hit 159 mph down the straight but just didn't want to perform in the corners for me couldn't get any sort of decent lap time down. That Volvo though.

 

[Scaniabebe]

To be fair, I'm surprised that the Volvo had the lower of the top speeds!

 

[swiftsmith]

So did my partner ever show up?

 

[Scaniabebe]

So did my partner ever show up?

Nah, unitedstomper didn't come in last night.. No big deal as it wasn't an official event!
Regarding that, I'll just clear up the rule if people don't turn up without giving notice... If you don't turn up to an event - and haven't given any notice of this; you will receive an Official Warning for your actions. If you don't turn up for a second event in a row without warning - you will be banned from the STCC until the end of the Season and one driver spot will then become open again.

Just wondering is cutting a corner this much okay?

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Borderline in my humble opinion but ok.

 

[Frisky]

Anyone up for some testing later? I need to build a few cars, and have some friendly competition

When were you thinking?

 

[Frisky]

When were you thinking?

Whenever really, I want to try out a few cars that's all.

 

[raceorama123432]

Do we have the specs for each car yet or is it just stick everything on until it fits the numbers on the OP?

 

[Scaniabebe]

Yeah, I did get it a tad bit borderline for that track. For some tracks - certain corners will allow more track boundaries use than others... But I shall announce the boundaries for certain corners before the races that night! 👍

I shall be in my lounge from 7 until about 9 tonight.. If anyone's interested then feel free to pop in! 👍

Well we're going to run it slightly different to TOCA to stop the possibility of people using illegal parts... So there shall be a BHP limit as well as a wight limit and that's it. However, Aero are mandatory on all cars..

I like the Primera, but I think its just a little too slow so i'll have to wait until final specs come out, to finalize my car 👍

Saying that, none of the cars are ready yet... The Nissan is going to loose a small amount of weight and a couple might gain a little..

 

[Frisky]

Just tried out the Primera, I can't make consistant lap times at all. I think I'm going to try the S4 next.
