Track Creater Racing Series

[HaylRayzor]

The low turnout I believe was due to people being more interested in green beer than in GT5. Just a theory.

Hopefully things will pick up again next week.

I'm most likely not going to be able to participate this week, since I have a test Thursday night and another Friday afternoon. However, I've got a track or two I still wanted to share, which I'll post for you guys this week if I get the chance. The first one, Wrigley Speedway, should be posted already. It's a sub-3-mile course with a few high speed turns, and a couple slow and technical turns, including one decreasing radius turn.

I have to remember to show up I have a very neat track called Fractal that's all about being able to read oncoming corners, or oncoming problem areas. But it breaks my heart if you can't use first-gen tracks, because I have Stairway To The Stars that's an old school Aso track that has the steepest, bumpiest, most insane mountain roads conceivable...

Actually I didnt touch the PS3 this week because of the excitement for Iron Maiden's concert yesterday 👍 but count me in this week lol.

My first race this week is 350PP Sport Soft at an Eifel Kart track called High Noon. Its a nice layout for small cars, with 3 tight corners but also some passing zones. The track is shared now.

My second race is a Kart race at an Eifel Kart track called Kart Attack. That track will be shared in a couple of days.

 

[grog]

My new track Myers Flat is now shared, we'll run 575 PP Street cars (no downforce), racing soft tires. The track Is my flattest (72 ft elevation) and quite simple, it should make for good racing.

I also made a few short ovals (kart track and snow) that I might use as well.

Hey haylrayzor are race cars Ok for the 350 pp race? the Honda S800 can be detuned to 350.

sure

 

[HaylRayzor]

I switched my shared track to Kart Attack. This one was designed for karts, but it is max width so cars can still run on it.

 

[Zuel]

What's going on people the name is Zuel, I would like to share some of my tracks with you. I have some of the most challanging tracks any of you will ever come across that someone has made with the track editor. Alot of people can't handle the tracks let's see if some of you can. You'll find the open lobby under SuperGT New Tracks, FIA New Tracks, ALMS LMP1 New Tracks or F-1 New Tracks. If you think you have the skills to drive my tracks come a drive.

 

[grog]

I opened up a room, If anyone else wants to join us add me Psn GT-R_HumboldtEF

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Is this weekly, nightly or just whenever more than 1 person from the thread opens a room?

[HaylRayzor]

I'm open for some custom track racing any time I'm on. Add HaylRayzor.

 

[rennsport27]

As of right now, I think I'll be able to join you guys this Thursday. I've got a few Eifel courses I'm considering, and then, for a change of pace, I've got a Tokyo bay loop, that's 0.4 miles long and has 3 turns. Not sure what cars I want to race there yet.

On a separate note, 100th post!

I have an Eifel Kart tri-oval that's about .35 miles. I use it for suspension tuning because it's easy to be consistent. Humboldt and I ran a 10 lap race on it a couple of weeks ago.

Will do. Do you all share your own tracks each week or is one or two tracks decided on before hand. I only have three tracks created, and dont think I could create worth sharing in the little time I have available.

 

[grog]

Everybody gets a chance to share a track or 2 provided we have the time. If you dont have a track and just want to join us thats fine too.

 

[grog]

I uploaded my new track Rosarito 2, Its a fairly simple track 3.2 miles long, 25 turns (that doesn't sound right I count around 12), 206 ft elevation, top speed around 180-190 MPH.

We'll run street cars 600 PP RS tires, No Downforce/Aero.

Heres turn 1, pretty much flat out provided you hit the apex

This is the first complex of turns, 3rd gear

Turn 6 or so, 3rd or 4rth gear

Turn 7 a left hander up a slight hill, 3rd gear

turn 7 leads into a bit of a loop here

Same loop as it tightens up, 2nd or 3rd gear at the apex

Here is the final complex of S's, 3rd or 4rth gear

And finally the last turn, 3rd gear

 

[rennsport27]

I've got two courses, and Huboldt, you've driven on one of them. They're both Eifel, so if we've got time I'll throw in something else to shake things up. One's a technical 2.7ish mile course, with a couple increasing and decreasing radius turns, and the other is a 3.5 high speed GP circuit, with two technical sections a few interesting high speed corners.

Of course, this all hinges on whether or not I'll have time this week. I should be okay, but you never know what kind of work will pop up. I don't think I have time to post pictures, but I'll have them posted this week. The first one, Vantage point raceway I'll have up until Tuesday, and the second one I'll put up Wednesday morning.

[HaylRayzor]

I won't be able to make it again this week. I'm working till midnight every day getting my wife's business up and running. Grand Opening this weekend so maybe I'll have time next Thursday.

 

[grog]

I'll be starting up a room tonight at 7 PST. Or possbliy Earlier If theres interest, just let me know, Ive got the day off.


I uploaded a new track, 7 Park which is 4.3 miles long, 286 ft elevation, 19 turns by my count (it says 38).

I was planning on running caterham Fireblades provided everyone has one, Sport soft tires, 615 PP.

I also Have a fun Eifel kart oval (nascar short track) and some Snow tracks just for kicks.

If anybody wants to join us feel free to add me PSN GT-R_HumboldtEF

 

[rennsport27]

I won't be able to make it tonight either, I've got a deforms test tomorrow. :/

 

[grog]

Well I think its time to come up with a new day and time to run these races.
The folks who originally wanted it on thursday nights are no longer showing up, some people have been busy lately, and others on the east coast want an earlier time to start.

So I think any time on the weekend would be good, but to get the ball rolling I'd like to suggest Saturdays at 3 PST.

So if anybody who's wanted to join in the past but couldn't make it, please let us know what day and time you would prefer.

 

[rennsport27]

Saturday afternoons sound fine to me. However, I may be distracted by the Masters tomorrow...

 

[Zuel]

Hey people I'll be opening a room tonight once I get off from work featuring my tracks. The tracks will range from slow, high speed technical to following courses. I'll be posting the room number between 11:30 pm est/12:00am est. The first series of tracks be F-1 based so make sure you have a F-2007, F-10 if you planning to join. All AIDS will be off beside the driving line. Tires rule will be Mediums to Hard. Power limit will stay under 818hp.

Hey, thanks for the fun races sunday, even though I was way off the pace it was fun. I'll definately need to do some more extensive tuning next time.

To everyone running our little series I'd recommend checking out this other series as well, Its a bit more focused and serious than ours, one Track, one car, long stints, and very fun.

I was thinking we should combine our 2 series but it seems like they're a bit too different to simply combine the 2.
