[CodeRedR51]

I don't know my weekend schedule well enough to commit to anything.

Anyone tried it on the R246 yet? I'm getting it around 2:17 so far but it's improving almost every lap.

I think we were doing 2:08 last night... have to check to see if I have the replay.

I ran around a 2:09

low 2:08s seems to be a good laps.
We us Comfort Soft tires.

Suzuka and/or GP/F would make for reall great racing.

 

[CodeRedR51]

True, but the first corner in Suzuka would be a hair raiser, and the U-turn at the far end of GP/F would be damn near impossible.

 

[OwensRacing]

Indy Road course produces excellent racing in almost everything.

Always in for Monaco and GP/F

I always get lost at Indy.... I just don't know where to put the car.

Yeah, nurF is hell, maybe the DTM layout would work (nurD ).

this should really wet your whistle for some hot spec racer action

We've had 12+ people in a room racing at GP/F without ABS and turn one and the u-turn weren't much of an issue... The car is also a blast to drive around Fuji... More real world tracks would be nice, but that's just my $0.02.

 

[Dr_Watson]

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.

 

[OwensRacing]

Racers drifting. Hahahaha Awesome. I enjoy a smokey slide but not for sport.

Marty Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

The car just wants to do that through there I was way behind from an off at the hairpin and having fun... did that like 6 laps in a row and only spun out once... still doing 1:20s laps
It's like driving an old 930 911 Turbo... when lifting into a corner you just point the nose and steer it with the throttle.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Good jobs with the vids, Watson. 👍

That's the way I drive most of the cars in GT5. It's just that the 86 goes way overboard for my liking.

When was that?

You dirft? I'm probably the worst drifter in the world with a DFGT.... Now if I use the controller it is a different story

 

[ash0150]

Nice drifting there. I use that section to practice drifting. This car is really balanced when sliding but needs more torque.

 

[Dr_Watson]

When was that?

Ahh... must have been thursday night. were tons of people and the lag didn't bite. Good times. 👍

lol, not for sport. only when it's almost as fast as doing it correctly, fast drifting is fun. So... I like hooning, not drifting.

I see I'm not the only one annoyed by that?

That was alot of fun

 

[carracerptp]

What lap times did you run?
It's cool how you all have a different driving style.

 

[acedition333]

R1600Turbo:
Not sure how you start up these events? At race time, you'll post the room number here? and 1st 15 in will race?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yep.

 

[acedition333]

Okay! I'll be waiting then!! 👍

 

[carracerptp]

Has anyone done a 2.07 at Tokyo (my best is a 8.3)?
I would like know how far off pace I am. I can see how to do a 7 but I'm scared to think anyone can do a 2:06.XXX lap.

last time we ran we were getting into the 2'07's
I know I did a 2'07.7 and i forget who but someone did a 2'07.5 in clean air.
