Like, the GT cars are balanced? Like OP says 485 or such HP?

That has been changed. 475 now assuming your talking about the corvette. If you don't like it feel free to voice your opinion, I may or may not listen.

We only have 3 spot left correct

 

[polarbear345]

We only have 3 spot left correct

No, at least 5-6

 

[james6653]

5 spots left I can probably fill those spots with my friends that are well known in the Gran Turismo world and one other thing you still need to fix how things work on race day

1.thats not 5 guys, and I've heard he's a hit or miss sometimes-from the guys I race with on occasion.

2. No one showed much interest in changing the format so I don't see much improvement if no one wants it.

Hey James! It's okay, man, I've got some buddies who I think might run in this too. And, I really DO like qualifying; it's a good pre-cursor for the race, to see where people stand.

Also, I have no complaints and I'm fully ready for this. But, the thing I've noticed, is that Monza's a completely MASSIVE strategy change. The tires don't make as large a difference as Daytona, and I think pit-stops are longer...

Doesn't matter if he does, do w1nner and carnby have gtplanets?

 

[james6653]

I'm gonna be practiceing all night Friday for Saturday race and I'm gonna practice some tonight also if anyone wants to join me

 

[james6653]

No and I'm surprised no one followed them into this series

 

[polarbear345]

Because they don't really talk about it, w1nner talked a little at either jfilyaw's NASCAR or djacksons 200km, not sure.

Well, doesn't matter our sign ups have gone way down. I'm not sure what to do to get more people, none of my friends play gran turismo. And they won't look for a series, the vast majority of those are run by people all those guys know. I race with them quite a bit, but one of them has a "rolex" series already, not on gtplanet, but most of them do that. Also one of them made the comment "oh, this is a series? I thought it was just a one time race" maybe you should clear it up with them that this happens every week.

Ok I will

I'd have asked my friend to join in this, but currently he's at university and his internet as of right now is down. He did seem interested in it though, so I might ask him to join next season.

Edit ~ And the ****er just signs onto Skype....

Polarbear said that well! Anyways, do we want to filter people out, by the languages they speak? I know some Germans/French-Canadians, who might join, but, who don't necessarily speak English well. Shall I translate the rules, OR shall I skip them, when inviting people?

problem with languages is if they have a question, theres more translating. What i mean is, right before the races the chat box is pretty much polar,polar,polar,polar... which im ok with but with different languages it would just complicate things even more. Anthony is awesome because he does english really well ! So french canadians (im assuming) probably speak a little english, but maybe not quite enough.


also, it may not be a bad thing that we dont have full rooms our first season. It'll give us time to get things ironed out, and get it all working smoothly before we have the masses showing up.

Alright... Storm and I (as you saw) had a great race last time. So, I think the "ironing" bit you're talking about is coming together really nicely.
