Weekday 86 GT Spec Racing | Next Race Friday 9pm EST?

[The Outlaw]

Hmmm...I was hoping to see some more non-fictional tracks (particularly Monaco & maybe Nurb GP/D) on the calender, but oh well :/ I'm also not that big of a fan of the racing that a track like Tsukuba promotes, but I guess it could be worse

Should be a good time regardless.

Posted this on a thread made to point out bugs from 2.02. I know it doesnt bug many of you here, but it does bug me. Never had a complaint about any of the updates so far, until now. Hope it's fixed:

I have a bug to report that I have found. I am 4 hours into the 24hr Nurburgring. As we know, 2.02 brought a dynamic chase cam. I don't hate it, it's not bad. Well, until I found a bug with it.

The car tends to be twitchy with chase cam, sort of looks like it's lagging. Now, I have the car on the left of my screen. Slightly leaned to the left. It's not on the center of the screen, it is slightly to the left. The car isn't at the middle of the G force bar. Before it would move left and right but it would return to the center of the screen. Now it doesn't. It returns to center if I save and quit, but after a while it returns to the left again. I have never had problems with any of the updates that PD has released, but this little problem is bugging me a lot. Chase cam is my main view and now it's ruined. I can't even drive properly. I love PD and GT5 and I appreciate their work, but I hope they don't forget to fix this.

I hope PD fixes this bug, or give us the option to choose between the old cam and the new one. I don't want my driving experience ruined.

And that has to do with this series, how?

Sorry, I was just looking for some help on this issue. I'll remove it if you want.

I think at this point any track has to be tested, even if reversed.
I say this because the car's a bit squirrely at GVE in the hairpin, so entering from the other direction off that long straight might not be possible

For me the car seems to behave the same entering the hairpin in either configuration, however in the GVE regular layout the car really slams down and washes the rear end out in the downhill double right hander before the tunnel. Nothing that cant be controlled but is a bit frustrating so i would prefer the reverse layout also, just my two cents.

Would love to see GP/D or even GP/F as well, seemed like we had some great races there.

Don't think there's much we can do about it.

Changed.

Oh well... Now, whenever I lose a race I'll have an excuse. Im hoping PD will fix this on the January update.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Supposed to use a real view.

Supposed to use a real view.

Good point. Im faster with that view, that's all. I'll give a try the bumper cam. Looks like a good time to do so.

 

[ianjames25]

Alright so there are 3 race times every week on the same track and you pick whatever day you wanna race?

 

[OwensRacing]

Supposed to use a real view.

Turbo, I really want out of this Green color change color. It just not me. What colors options does one have with dark gray wheels. Like the Admiral Blue shades, Red Metallic, Silvers, Blacks. Maybe white.

Sorry just looks like an Easter egg now.

Exactly.

Hmm, the stock dark blue would work well I think.

completely agree. although some epic drifting can be had through there

 

[CodeRedR51]

I've just fallen in love with a Corolla.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Yeah except I'm not a very good drifter. Spec 2.0 has made it from impossible to barely manageable on my end but that's it.

I've just fallen in love with a Corolla.

I drove an 07 Corolla as a rental once. Next day, I had to choose between that and a rental Taurus. It was an easy decision.

 

[CodeRedR51]

By the way guys, not going to be able to do the private room thing. I've tried twice to create a separate account tonight and both times my system locked up on me where I had to force-reset it.

No can do.

Edit: Here is said Corolla:

 

[ianjames25]

Exactly.

Okay cool! And my car's blue is actually 'Brilliant Sky Metallic' if needed. Haha

Yeah it was awesome at Monaco, Monaco was the best imo, but the Nurb was a little over-steery for us with skin that isn't green.

Yeah, I had them backwards. The only one I drove was reverse, so forward was the one I was trying to question.

I hate Toyota, but I would take pretty much anything over any Ford that's not a Fusion, Mustang, or new Focus.

Anybody can make the account. Anybody that will add people to the friends list and set up the lounge for you. Wardez could make it, well, anyone that can make one.

Weird your system locked from it.
I still have a Japanese account from the GT5 Demo/Academy.

 

[Dr_Watson]

Can we run Tsukuba with the moto-chicane to spice it up? IIRC it was pretty fun that way in fmsc s2.

Love the rims . Too bad that car is a standard and they are a pain to obtain. Not even I have that one.

 

[chuyler1]

Now that ABS can be turned off, you may want to update the OP with the lobby setting. Will ABS be allowed?

I'd love to join but I can't get on until after 9:30 EST. I'd be willing to host a Monday night race if the first race started at 10:00. Otherwise, could I join for just the feature race (assuming there is still room in the lobby)

I almost passed it up, because it was a weird light blue shade with crappy wheels. But since we can change them now, I went for it. Then I noticed it had 187hp, I was like "Hmmm". So I checked the description of the car and it has a 2ZZ in it. Intake + Exhaust + Supercharger = Weeeeeee.

The car has ABS stock, so we will NOT be running without ABS. We've been over this already.

I'd rather not run any more rooms. All of them are first come, first served so if you can make it on time then you can race. 👍

Sorry, I didn't have time to read all 15 pages and the OP is missing the setting.

That doesn't answer my question completely. Can I join late? If I miss the first race is that OK, or are people going to complain that I did it on purpose so I could start at the front. I will gladly pull aside on the grid to start at the back if that would be better.

Anyway, put me on the list for now...

chuyler1 (chuyler1) - Red / White

It's pretty much open, so I didn't bother to put it on there, especially since this thread was set up before the 2.02 update.

I guess that's not a problem as long as there's room.

Zstar40 (Zstar40) - light blue / white

 

[BlackIce90]

Anyone interested in a Christmas practice race? Sometime around 1-4 PM EST? I'm sure many of us will be home doing nothing around this time so, interested?

 

[Zstar40]

^I'd probably be able to do that^
