This is the TOCA series, the cars go with the BTCC theme.

 

[Furinkazen]

I have a room open now. I'll be in and out all evening - come in to my lounge and practise as you please.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

The other cars are DTM and have V8's.

The sprint races that i was in were only 2 laps. Of course it was close. Over he span of 16 laps the field will spread out. Especially 2 laps at Nurburg. Those long straights? An underpowered car wont stand a chance. Your racing for 2nd at that point. There will be some good battles here and there but they wont last.

If you set the HP limit at 300 and PP at 490, people can adjust and set up their car however they want and still fall within a balanced regulation. My bmw 299 hp with a stage 3 engine tune.

 

[Furinkazen]

Just to point out no tunes like stage 3 engine are allowed...

I think a PP of 475 may be a better fit.
(just my opinion)

[Furinkazen]

Also, entries are now closed, unless you want to be a reserve.

Was that to me?

 

[Furinkazen]

No. You are in Gik69. Check first post

 

[Gedi69]

Nice 1 have you added me on psn?

 

[Furinkazen]

Yes. My room is open now as well for some fun testing.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

I realize no tunes. What im saying is that's what it takes to get those cars up to snuff. Im not using my bmw.

 

[Furinkazen]

Rules change:

276 hp limit - this brings everyone into line. Though Monaco is a destruction derby. And to say JAMIE_Steez is quick is an understatement.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

Jamie is very quick. 276 seems to be working pretty good. You guys just need to give each other more room. I was behind all the chaos waiting for the carnage to clear and i picked up 3 or 4 spots. When you said bumps and taps I didn't realize it meant turn into and completely wreck the guy next to you! That seem to be whats happening in turn one. Lol. We'll get it straightened out. Nice practice session guys.

At Tsukuba and Suzuka I thought... "6 abreast into turn 1... I know what will happen..." Also reverse grids mix it up as well.

And 276 has worked better than I thought...

Also I may replace Madrid with Rome... My server has crashed 4 times loading madrid...

You are still spin city RP.

 

[The_Boyce]

Whats everyones times for Nordschleife? Best so far is 7.55.645 need to tweak a few settings still.

 

[Furinkazen]

7:49 with a couple scary moments and a brief trip into the gravel.

 

[cunny17]

Think we have a lot of setup to do Boyce. May have to spend tomorrow night at the Ring.

[Furinkazen]

Friday night is the series launch and a test at the Nordschleife. That is hardly an easy start but it will seperate the runners from the riders...

Think i'm out tomorrow night but def try and crack open the best setup possible before Sat. I'll make sure to do any practice runs in my lounge or someone elses if already on there.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

Cunny and Boyce, i sent you guys friends invites on gtplanet so we can PM some setups.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

Can i get a confirmation on race time? Qualifying starts at 11am for me, correct? Race at 11:45? Just making sure I've got this down in my brain. That's Saturday morning for me so i have to plan these races around my golfing.
