TRD Hot Version Racing Series Club Open! (1016786)

[Osr20_L]

Should gear boxes be limited to the ones they used in the actual series like the TRD Close-Ratio, 3.5th gear boxes, etc? Will this be called N2-S as the original runs on Racing Slicks (Racing Hards)? Since there's a class called N2-S where it's Semi-Slicks (Sports Soft) only.

The 5-speed close ratio would be nice, instead of the complicated and noisy Full custom gearbox IMO

Close ratio transmission makes things easier. 👍

Meanwhile I'm having issues signing up... can't decide what colour to choose.

Sounds good. Most of us are used to using the closr ratio transmissions due to LoTS. If Slender's ok with it, I'll update the rules.

I wouldn't really care much about the sound just as long it functions. (No offence)
Few gearboxes I found for the AE86, by the way!

Here's a few that I have from my physics project AE86 for rFactor

[FINAL_DRIVE]
bevel=(1, 1) // 1.000
ratio=(1000, 4300) // 4.300 0 Default
ratio=(1000, 4500) // 4.500
ratio=(1000, 4556) // 4.556
ratio=(1000, 4625) // 4.625
ratio=(1000, 4778) // 4.778
ratio=(1000, 4875) // 4.875
ratio=(1000, 4900) // 4.900
ratio=(1000, 5100) // 5.100
ratio=(1000, 5125) // 5.125
ratio=(1000, 5375) // 5.375
ratio=(1000, 5500) // 5.500

Well..until PD fixes the bug for H-Pattern User when using Dog-Mission, but I guess it wouldn't hurt for now to use the PD Close-ratio gear boxes, but just a few cents of mine.

Hey guys, Vent Here

First post on GtPlanet but I've been reading on here for years. This championship has sparked my interest big time!
Have just registered. WOO!

 

[Slender_Man]

i don't know about the transmission thing really....
I was hoping to steer away from the close ratio only thing that we use in LotS...

Hmmmm what about that rule that Mat used for the Hot-Version Touge Showdown Shootout about not using the extra gear that the stock car doesn't normally come with? I know what you mean. Basically, I want to use the close-ratio gearboxes until they fix the problem.

My verdict will be open transmission tuning for now.

 

[Slender_Man]

Not long until the first race of the season, Hope your all getting your setups ready...

 

[Doodle]

My testing begins now.

 

[DK]

I'm interested, although 7pm EST is going to be a real pain in the arse.

 

[DriftinAssassin]

I have a setup ready, time to just practice hard.

By the way, has anyone else experienced the AE86 slipping right before the second corner on Tsukuba? I can't seem to get over this small problem and sometimes end up in the sand.

 

[Yauma9]

Count me in! The schedule fits perfectly for me! Getting my Hachi Roku ready.

 

[Davis]

Wondering what everyone else is getting. I can only get a 1:01.8 consistently at Tsukuba.

 

[Doodle]

Curious as well. My best is a 1:00.791 but I'm only getting 1:01.2s on average.

 

[DriftinAssassin]

If I remember correctly I'm in the 1:03-1:05 range on hotlaps. I'm no good at time trials.

 

[Yauma9]

I'm averaging 1:02s on the low side but I still haven't finished my setup. I'm also avoiding the GT Wing because I think it's fugly.

 

[Downhill Dino]

1:01.3 for me. The wing is functional Yauma. It's stupid big though.

 

[draqua_fresh]

Just signed up, looks like tons of fun and nice track selection

 

[Yauma9]

1:01.3 for me. The wing is functional Yauma. It's stupid big though.

Wish we could put a ducktail instead of a GT Wing.

Got 1:01.1 as my fast lap and now averaging 1:01:6-7 with the ugly but functional wing. Still messing around with brakes and trans ratios though.

 

[787bcgr]

Looks like the series is going to be fun.

 

[extreme car]

Looks interesting, I'm in.

 

[Slender_Man]

Only a few days until the kick off race 👍

 

[Downhill Dino]

Oh so soon? Time flies.

Can't wait to race these cars!

 

[Slender_Man]

Me and CG have been talking and was wondering what you guys thing about running other TRD racing season based around other models from Toyota like the AW11 MR-2, Group A Supra, 86GT Etc, Like a TRD Club so to speak?
Also would you like to keep the long fortnightly season or switch to a weekly season?

Hey looks like the recent update has saved you!

I like the idea of other cars. Maybe even some AE86 vs AW11 would be cool. I would put a big n-o on the 86 GT as it's kind of overplayed now and doesn't feel new at all anymore to race.

The schedule is fine whatever it is. I do prefer fortnightly, but of course go by the majority vote.

Oh and won't be there for the first event. Have plans that auto-override games.

 

[787bcgr]

Dino and Badboy won't make it to the first event, and I'm guessing Solid will be absent as well. As long as you guys make it to the second event, you're still in.

[787bcgr]

Lobby will be open about an hour before the event for warm ups. See you guys there.

 

[Doodle]

I won't be able to join. I'm too busy.
