The Rising Sun Cup - Sign up here

[Carbonox]

Okay, well, if the setups aren't so important, then I'm okay with having them available, because I'm quick in finding the correct top speed setting...

We might move "slightly" downward with the car performance, but at least I can predict extra-close races already now. Be careful, though, I happen to be the current leader in the TOCA Megane Challenge, which has pretty similar cars to these

So, is the 'Lupo GTI Cup Car (J) '03' better than the 'Lupo Cup Car '00' ?

 

[Canudigthis]

Yes.... the 03 walks all over the 00, even in reverse. Lol. I think this might suite you to a T Carbon, but we'll be all over you like a bad rash old chap!!!

 

[zuat]

00 has more power, but is heavier, 03 is quicker, well much quicker

2000 VOLKSWAGEN LUPO CUP CAR '00

Horsepower 119
Torque 108
Mass 840

Drivetrain FF


2003 VOLKSWAGEN LUPO GTI CUP CAR '03

Horsepower 129
Torque 115

Think the power and torque of the 03 puts it ahead, although heavier.

Thanks driver, I will go and get one tonight. This morning I realised that I gave my only 03 to Silver, but not a problem. I have another account, so i will send myself a friend request and then get the car from my secondary account and then send it to myself as a gift. LOL. So for the other chaps that do not have one, here is a back door.

 

[qsilver73]

Ag siestog Zuat. U want it back LOL!!

 

[Canudigthis]

Ag Zuat don't you want to organize one for me too, my one's engine is worn already. Lol

 

[worduphomes]

I managed a 1.33.9XX last night. Is that anywhere near the required pace for Tokyo?

 

[worduphomes]

The Spec 2 update is HUGE, so if you haven't done it, it might be a good idea to start the download tonight and let it run over night (and possibly tomorrow too).

Yeah, I don't need to practice autumn ring though coz I am gonna win that one easily LOL!

 

[Canudigthis]

Um..... its Autumn ring next Homes. Lol

 

[Canudigthis]

Yeah, I don't need to practice autumn ring though coz I am gonna win that one easily LOL!

Unfortunately this is looking more and more like a GTR track, tire wear is a HUGE issue for the NSX. Come Homes...... we need to lock out the front row for quali so you can ride shot gun for your teammate! Lol. Cause Driver is fast around the ring.

 

[qsilver73]

I only realized now that I have to attend a nuts and bolts meating with Toyota South Africa at Loskopdam Tomorrow. Its 2hours drive from my home. Hope I can make the race because I enjoy this track so much. Had a little bit of practice with driver and canu and are very curious where I will end up in the race. Lets just hope I can make it

 

[Canudigthis]

I don't mind waiting for you Silver. Quali is only 10min so we finish earlier than we used to anyways.

 

[Driver 101]

Is any one else struggling with the update, I keep getting errors.

On my 5th try now....

 

[Carbonox]

I don't mind waiting for you Silver. Quali is only 10min so we finish earlier than we used to anyways.

Do we? Superb.

How long's the wait between seasons?

 

[zuat]

Driver, why don't you use the ps3 proxy that I sent you. At least you will restart from where you left off. I was lucky in that I started the dl yesterday morning at 6am. When I left at 6.20, it was already on 20%. In total my dl took about 1 1/2 hours. I dl'd the new movie last night, thats another 590meg, that was really quick, took about 15 minutes. But all is installed and working. You need to buy the new GTR, schultze available in the nissan dealership. Suped up gives you 800 odd ponies and handles like a dream. Next week we get the Super GT's. BTW, are you guys going to get the DLC stuff? I know I will fork out the R100 sa rond.

 

[Driver 101]

Hey Zuat, I want to use the proxy, but can you tell me where to find my port number.

 

[qsilver73]

We should take a good look at when we start the next season because december many of us might go on holiday. Or we should just pause the season for that month. I am gonna be in cape town from the 12 to 23 december

 

[worduphomes]

BTW, are you guys going to get the DLC stuff? I know I will fork out the R100 sa rond

Yes, I will definitely get the DLC !

How long's the wait between seasons?

1 week off and then start the lupo cup?

We should take a good look at when we start the next season because december many of us might go on holiday

I am happy to do whatever you guys want regarding a break, but we could have a similar rule to the Rising Sun cup where your best 10 rounds count or maybe we make it best 9 this time so holidays don't mess up your points too much???

 

[qsilver73]

Hey Zuat, I want to use the proxy, but can you tell me where to find my port number.

port is always 8080

 

[Driver 101]

Yeah thanks silver, I realized last night when I actually did what no man likes to do.....and that's to read the help tab.

It explains it all there, I also didn't know that you have to do some settings on the console as well.

Still managed to do the update like normal....finally, but I will definitely go the proxy route next time.

See you guys later for an epic race around one of the best tracks GT5 has to offer.

PS. Watch out for Homes on this track, there's something about it that brings out his race talent.

 

[Carbonox]

Tell me about it... Season 1 anyone?

 

[Canudigthis]

I remember well.... left us in his dust! That's my teammate boys!!!!

 

[Canudigthis]

Yes, I will definitely get the DLC !

I'm getting the DLC alright, and I'm happy to race thru December...... sorry Silver. Lol

 

[worduphomes]

PS. Watch out for Homes on this track, there's something about it that brings out his race talent.

I do like this circuit but the last few times I have raced on it I have spent the whole race looking at the back of Canu's car.

I did a bit of practice last night and the tyre wear for the NSX is shocking.

 

[zuat]

Ya we were messing around last night. I changed the setup of the Motul, I was running full wing back and front, BHP was 435. I was averaging 1.10 around the track, BUT, after 15 laps I still had over 70% tread left on the front and about 80 on the rear. I am kind of thinking that I could probably do all 30 laps without pitting.
