No ones droped out yet then??

 

[Lizard]

No ones droped out yet then??

No Furi stays in the championship if its his own.

 

[Furinkazen]

No ones droped out yet then??

Nope. Last season we have 18 entries - 16 full time +2 reserve. Usually 1 or two drop out in the first week or so and that allows people to join back on the reserve list.

[Furinkazen]

Got room for me tonight in lobby?

Yeah 👍

 

[Gedi69]

Yeah 👍

Coolio

 

[Furinkazen]

Room will be up approx 7. I am aware that some of you are quailfying for Tom's Indy 500.

 

[neljack]

I cant make tonight Im afraid going out for a meal, have funz : - )

Qualifying doesn't begin until midnight tonight. The room for The Fight Before The 500 is up from 10:30pm, with qualifying beginning at 11pm.

I gave the Mazda a go round the Nurb 24H track with the track surface water at 100% and it raining hard. I had full wets on the car and did a time of 10 minutes and 10 seconds. The speed you take the corners isn't much different from the dry really (only about 20mph less). The main challenge is the braking.

Thats nearly as quick as me in the Ford Mk IV in 50% wet....

 

[DrifterJoe]

The WSC cars get a lot of wheelspin due to their power and being RWD. The mazda only really spins it's wheels in the wet in 1st gear in a straight line, and 1st and 2nd if youre turning.

EDIT: Ok, it spins them in 1st and 2nd in a straight line.

Bet the Karussell was tricky.

 

[Furinkazen]

At least i'm not in a GT40 But thats the WSC. TOCA in the wet... Volvo showed potential as a wet car last season.

 

[Akmuq]

Yeah, in the same way JPS showed they were a good team, 6th place.

In anything RWD you just have to ride the brake all the way round the Karussell online. One of the biggest flaws in GT5's online physics.

Flaw!! what do you mean about riding the brake. ive missed something.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Flaw!! what do you mean about riding the brake. ive missed something.

The Karussell in GT5 online is ridiculously slippy, therefore if you hold a bit of brake through the corner it forces the car into understeer (at least with a front heavy brake bias) therefore preventing the car from spinning.

When I say hold I mean just keep dabbing it every time you feel the car getting out of shape. 👍
