The Rolex Sports Car Series, Season 3! Finished! Thanks Everyone!

If I'm not mistaken; Fuji F is the Formula 1 / Formula Nippon option, and Fuji GT is the Super GT option. The Super GT would more than likely remove that chicane as contact is more likely to happen than in the formula races. Hence:

Fuji F - Chicane
Fuji GT - No Chicane

No series you mentioned uses the 'GT' layout at Fuji. SuperGT uses the 'F' layout, but there are no barriers blocking the chicane. It's used as an escape road should an incident happen there. 👍
 
I was running 1.28s without the chicane. I guess I will shoot for 1.31s instead :lol:

With common sense, you would think Irish would be correct.

Ah well, tried to get a memorable pattern. Failed drastically :sly:

I don't know why the 'GT' layout even exists, I've yet to see ANY real life series run it. Maybe the GT part of it is made up by Kaz. Not entirely sure.

Kaz gives Fuji, Sarthe, and Monza the option to have the circuit with and w/out the chicane(s), but doesn't give Tsukuba the option. I'm not following their logic either :lol:

Can't :lol: I'm at work.

Noooooooo!

So I'm doing a street stock race (to get up to indycar oval fixed) and I'm cruising along, got up to 5th!

4 of us come up to a lap car- guy got too eager to lap the guy. It went bad.... I saw him go down, couldn't see him- thought I was good (was having a perfect race) and then he come RIGHT into my way! I t-bone him HARD (no homo) and I end up getting DQ'ed because I tried to ignore the black flag xD

That sounds like a typical Saturday night on a short track in Alabama XD :lol:

Happened here too!

And also on my computer.... We were all driving good with each other, so I thought I could be close- big mistake!
 
Tsukuba with the chicane is a motorcycle circuit. It's on Tourists Trophy.

I remember that. Infineon had a different configuration too. I think Suzuka has a Moto GP chicane that isn't an option on GT5 too.
 
Seems like a lot of you guys refer to this as 'The GTP Rolex Sports Car Series'

Should I change the thread title?

Motorcycles only use the chicane for the 8 hours of Suzuka. Personally, I don't like the chicane on Suzuka. Messes the flow up.

Edit: Thread is way off topic, thanks to me again!

I didn't know that. I don't follow motorcycle racing all that much.

Back on topic....Have any other DP run times at Fuji?

We ran the Moto section in a few series in Pure and it was pretty fun 👍.. Concidering it for my Clio Cup.. May just keep the normal version though ;).

We ran it in ITCC. Lots of questionable overtake attempts xD

In testing at Suzuka I found the order was slightly different:

Lotus (Prior to specs change)
Camaro
Ferrari
Audi
Mazda

So at Fuji F, you're getting 1:40's? I'm doubting this somehow, given we've definitely slowed the cars from S2 and with Softs the old specs ran 1:40's...

You are right. I just checked my replay. It was on Fuji GT. It was a best of 5 laps, 1:40.962, the other 4 were over that. Just did a 5 lapper on F, 1:43.xxx's-1:44.xxx's.

This makes me think 1.31/1.32s for DP. Last year DP was 10 seconds a lap faster than GT. DP got lighter, and GT got slower. At Daytona it was about 13 seconds.
