thats usually the time I wake up... another day spent playing gt5 it is then! xD
 
If it weren't for the time it is taking place, I may have entered, but at that point in time, it'll be 5am and I'll still be sleeping unfortunately.
 
Was going to put up the server now but need have decided to wait another hour, so expected the server to be up by 12:00 PM GMT
 
OK a testing sever for Laguna Seca is now up, the room number is: 1472-4710-9866-6908-9600.

1:39.407
and
1.35.XXX

are the fastest laps so far.


That seems good so far my fastest was 1:40.70, i think a was pretty stable in the 1:40's, my tires over a long distance seemed to hold out well to :D.

I noticed that too, my tires didnt seem to get as burned out as much as the other races.
 
I've decided that if I run away with lead on sunday night i'm going to change car (providing thats alright with cox) because being up front and not racing with anyone is no fun...

Ok that seems fine see how the next race goes, alternatively just lower your power using the limiter, then you can keep your car :D.
 
What are the specs for the Cervo ??
(Weight and max power ??)

Well it seems that the Cervo is the third fastest K-Car (banned Capu and the Beat are faster)
=> my idea: Beat with those specs and a little MR-advantage "penalty".

Penalty weight or power can be tested.
Maybe 20kg extra and 5hp lower => so low because them Cars are so "slow" ;)
But if this isn´t enough above things can get higher/lower.
 
When we were doing our laps, it didn't seem like i was out of the Beats range, but i also wasn't making up time. I noticed R0ss keep skidding out of some of the turns.I personally tuned my ride this time and i think i got a pretty decent car for this track. I am hitting the limiter on two straights and im only having problems with two turns.One of the earlier turns (which is the only one i get understeer on) and the last hairpin turn to the straight.It feels like i am going way slow around it.

Also I think my OFC is faster then the Cervo. I was setting fast times with it, but because of my lack of driving skill, they (the cervos)have placed higher in the first race.The BIGGEST disadvantage to my OFC-1 is :No Adjustable Aerodynamics And i think the fact that i have 7 gears in car whose top speed is 110mph.I play with auto transmission because i get lost when im shifting sometimes. I think the car gets busy switching gears, especially in the downhill corkscrew,and that's where im losing power.

Yeah theres a few corners where the beat becomes really unstable, gonna have to spend another hour or so tuning it before sunday.
 
^Sounds great to all the above^. think the OFC is slightly faster then the Cervo's on this track but not by much a second or so. This race will be interesting, the beats are only about 5 seconds per lap faster, i will make sure i add a longer race finish delay so we can all cross the line and fight to the end. So make sure someone reminds me to do this i forgot last time and remembered halfway through the race.

Max power is 136BHP weight is 723kg I think
 
I think i'm going to get another car ready for tomorrow... If the beat is a lot faster in qualifying on sunday I'll just get another car out. Is that ok? It'll save a lot of confusion and hassle with restricting the beat.

sure, as long as you then stick with that car ok.
 
R0ss, I'm curious what car you might get in?

I'd prefer you stick with the Beat for at least one more race, give me a chance to redeem myself...:sly:
