Get ready for an intense 35 lap race on the ever difficult track of Suzuka Circuit.

Info: This race will take place on the 24th of february. The lobby will be opened at 18.30 GMT, and the race will begin at 20.15 GMT. Damage and tire/fuel wear will be set to max, and full weather change will be ON. The race is expected to be close to 2 hours long. Should you wish to participate in the event, you have to sign up in this thread, or by PM to me. Furthermore you have to attend at least one practice session, in order to prove yourself capable of driving clean and fair. There will be plenty of practice sessions to join before the event.

If you sign up, I expect you to be commited. Should something prevent you from joining, you need to PM me as soon as possible. Furthermore, I expect participants to stay up to date on rules, and to not quit the race under any circumstances. If you can't follow these simple rules, then don't bother signing up. I've had it with people who sign up, only to forget about it the next day.

Rules and guidelines: In my events, you're off track as soon as you have less than two wheels on the track. Should you go slightly off track on rare occasions, it's no big. However, if you go off track by more than a car width, I expect you to slow down, and re-enter. Of course you should always take care not to re-enter the track right in front of other drivers.

In the events that have weather change on, the rules regarding intermediate/rain tires, are as follows. You are allowed to change into intermediate/rain tires after the track has reached 20% surface water. From there on out, you're free to choose between the two different rain tires. When Track surface has gone below 20%, you are obligated to change back into dry tires.

You will of course do your best to drive clean and fair. Should you be responsible for damaging another driver, you will escort him/her to the pits.

Restrictions: This event is exclusive to the Race Modified variants of the Japanese rivals Mitsubishi and Subaru.

You may not add any tuning parts other than what came with the RM. Participants are free to tune the transmission, suspension, aerodynamics, Front/Rear torgue distribution, ballast and YAW control(exclusive to the Lancer). If you drive without ABS, you may also change the brake bias. All aids except ABS are disabled.

All 3 Sport tires are availible for use in the race, aswell as intermediate and rain tires.

Sounds pretty good, just as all your Endurance Races are. Sign me up:

Subaru (#43) colour is matte red.

I thought id be controversial and have a red Subaru in a Subaru vs Mitsubishi race :lol:
 
Are any difs aloud like tourque sensing dif or LSD?
Put me in, tentatively. Next week I am changing from Night shift to Day shift, so my schedule will change a bit, but hopefully this date will be open.
I should know for sure by the end of this week.
 
I'll get back to you regarding LSD tuning, as I can't remember if it comes with the RM mod.

Update: As LSD and Torgue Distribution does not comes with the RM mod, they are not allowed.

The colour of my car is, uh... white i guess. I didn't change the colour after i changed it to the RM version.
 
Lancer Specs:
Horsepower: 314 HP/6500 RPM
Torque: 318 ft-lb/3300 RPM
Weight: 1080 kg
Performance Points: 515 PP (w/ max aero)

Impreza Specs:
Horsepower: 319 HP/5600 RPM
Torque: 342 ft-lb/4800 RPM
Weight: 1065 kg
Performance Points: 526 (w/ max aero)

Note: Both cars are brand new, 0 miles.

I would expect, with equal drivers, the Impreza to be the better car by a wide margin over the course of 35 laps.

Haha I'm glad I chose my Subaru before I saw the stats, now I can say with confidence "I chose the Subaru because I love the Impreza and have always supported Subaru in the Subaru vs Mitsubishi rivalry"
 
The Lancer has the YAW control, which I suspect could work very weel for it in the race. The differences in acceleration is minimal, and with stock RM settings, the Lancer actually has a higher top speed(tested with the speed test). I'd also say the Lancer has better aerodynamics compared to the Subaru. Just look at that front, and compare it to the Subaru.
 
Interestingly enough, I just ran three laps with each car.
Stock Tuning.
Offline.
Sport Soft Tires.
Grip: Real
Aides: OFF
ABS: 1

Lancer Time: 2:15.811
Impreza Time: 2:16.350

Surprising times, really. However, the default Suspension for the Impreza is setup for Rally Racing. If tuned for a road course instead of dirt, it would handle much, much better.

If the Impreza didn't look so ridiculous with the mud flaps and all, I'd take it over the Lancer.

Wash your mouth with soap!

Haha, I really like the look of the RM Impreza. The Lancer kind of looks like a lazy version of the HKS CT230R.

HA! I've actually had mine washed once...not a pleasant experience.

The TC Impreza looks much, much better, in my opinion.
The RM Impreza would be okay if not for the mud flaps.

As mentioned earlier, I will be changing shifts at work, so hopefully I'll be able to race. I will know for sure by Friday, at the latest.

Well, I suppose I better inform you guys of the practice schedule :).

Practice will begin on saturday at 12.15GMT. I will also host a session on sunday at 12.00GMT, and on monday and wednsday at 18.00GMT.
 
This may be a silly question but, are any aids allowed?



Actually scrap that. Just the first post in its entirety(?).
Im not too sure if i can go 35 laps spotlessly clean. Is it possible to enter the practice session without committing? Don't want to be wrecking people needlessly.

Of course :). Feel free to join any of the upcomming sessions. You aren't forced to participate in the event in any case. All I ask is that people inform me in proper time if they aren't going to participate in the event.

It's not like we never swap paint out on the track. Accidents happen.

Manchester united play Liverpool on either Saturday or Sunday, I'll join the day they don't play 👍

Practice/tuning session is up :mischievous:.

I'll join now, turns out someone decided it was a good idea to remove the sports channels....ON THE DAY OF THE GAME :@
 
Sign me up, please :) .

Car: Mitsubishi Lancer

Colour: Atomic Orange Metallic Tin Coat

Car Number: 1 (for first place)
 
Change Monkeyman592 to ADR_BRONCO, I basically lost all data on that account and just decided to use my other account...
 
Room is up. If someone can't make any of the scheduled sessions, then please contact me with a time better suited to your needs, and then we can probably figure something out.

Practice has ended. My best time so far has been 2.19.500. Still a ways to go before I can come close to the guys who ran times of 2.16 yesterday.
