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

[NEPALII]

Ok, depending on when you open the room I will only do a few races as my dad has his WSGTC race at 9:30. He's starting to get interested into GT5 Let me know, and everyone else when the room is open 👍

Thanks for the races guys. Hopefully the production 86 will be better than the FT-86; car under-steers like mad and has skates on the back. It's really too much of a handful for me to have fun driving it competitively.

And thanks for reminding me how slow I am. You guys are all super quick. Of course, apologies for my poor driving, I should have stopped racing after Suzuka. Been up since 5am and wrote two exams today, so I was getting pretty fatigued and a little sick, but I was too lazy to get up from behind my wheel and just continued racing.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Good racing tonight guys. We averaged between 6-8 people in there for most of the night. The FT-86 Concept is weird. Super sketchy on some tracks, and a blast on others. I had great fun at Tsukuba, but absolutely hated the car at pretty much every other track. As stated above, hopefully the production car is better sorted than this thing!

I was online and looking for a drive when i came across this room with R1600Turbo hosting. So I breezed through and found myself drifting more than racing. I had a bug incident in my daughters bedroom during the Suzuka race, but the others were fun. Autumn Ring was slippery for my skill level. Too much smoke and spinning to be competative.

I can still sign up right?

That was fun last night.
This car has the weirdest handling, its oversteer is not like other cars oversteer, same with understeer.

I like the track map on the dash board. It was fun to power slide through corners. It was very controllable on most corners. Then it would snap and I was making sandcastles. The DS3 and this car were not a good match with my ability level. But I still had fun.

Darn, won't be able to make it

 

[paulmac2k9]

Well RT I was going to try make it but yeah your right 2am on a College night is no good oh well have fun you lucky b:censored:ds who can race it . (I could however do the first 2 races since its my Winter hols though..)

 

[carracerptp]

I'm probably not going to be racing in any series full-time.
Due to health complications, at best, I might be able to pop in for the odd race.
Looks to be shaping up to be a great series.

 

[Benz-27]

I may have to pull out. Just saw that it will be on thursdays and I'll only be able to make half of the season.

 

[CodeRedR51]

What time will it be for you here?

 

[CSLACR]

7-10AM IIRC.
Aussies are usually close to 12 ahead of us, I think they have 2-3 time zones as well.

 

[Bobcar96]

What time will it be for you here?

I'm pretty sure the first room will be open at 11AM and the second room open at 1PM.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Ok, wasn't sure. Just making sure people are paying attention to the start times.

 

[Egghead43]

I'm definitely interested, but my PS3 sort of died tonight

Providing I get a working PS3 in time, I'll be there. What tires are you thinking of running Turbo? I've kind of become a sport hard snob lately, so I'm hoping it's no more than a sport medium.

Sign me up for now. If I don't have a working PS3 in 10 days I'll probably be in a padded room somewhere...

Awesome to see you in man 👍

Completely stock. I would assume the car comes with Sport Hard, but there's always the possibility it will arrive with Comfort Softs.

 

[carracerptp]

Can I ask you guys a stupid question?
Is the 86 a DLC car or is it free?

 

[CodeRedR51]

It's a free DLC car.

 

[carracerptp]

Thanks, I will try to make the race, I believe I can make it.
I won't be racing, playing or online as much as I normally did.
I hope I can make half of the races in this series.
And I may have to forget racing full time in FMSC

 

[Dr_Watson]

It's a free DLC car.

oh, my ... just read the updated post from Jordan. I was figuring it would be in the paid car pack not just a freebie with the 2.02 update. Sweet; saves me $4 👍
because really, who's going to buy this:

These new cars will also be available as DLC for $3.99:

2011 Mini Cooper S
2010 Volkswagen Golf VI R
2010 Volkswagen Scirocco R
2012 Nissan GT-R Black edition R35.

 

[CodeRedR51]

because really, who's going to buy this:

Me.

 

[CSLACR]

I probably will too for the VW's.
Not because it's a good pack, just because I'm hopeless.

 

[Dr_Watson]

Me.

can't wait to get yet another GT-R

i'm actually leaning toward giving my 'expansion pack' $ to simbin and firing up Race07 again.

this came out last month and should tide me over until GTR3 comes out... which given how cagey they've been and their release date creeps in the past I'm not expecting until probably mid 2012.
