GTJugend has the same idea as me... GT40 Road car... I'll give it a try tonight...
is there any driving style (or suchlike) that might suit simulation tires more than the racing tires we've been using..??
Boom: renaming the Beginner division is something that's crossed my mind too, how about "Up & Coming Racers" or "start-up Division"
Good Luck all with this weeks race....!!!

i'm in this is my sort of race 
sim tyres and set ups....because of the way sims work you are likly to be suffering from large amounts of oversteer so stiffen the front and soften the rear (the opposite of how i normally set up a car in GT3)

Hmmm 
I don't know what to say now. I have the best possible car, and one of the sweetest race set ups.
But I dont think I will be in this week. I can't even put down a time below 1.11. on this.
If I wanna drive on ice, I'm gonna move outta louisiana and back to virginia.
Sorry boom, I just can't deal with it.
And I would love to put down a hurtin with this car

I'll be around, and I really don't know what to say about the car... 3.037 hp wieght and within the limit.
I may put in some time just to show the amatuers and beginners that they are able to beat an old pro, but nothing more.
I hate to skip too, but I just don't think the headaches this sim driving will create is worth the excitment of competitive racing.

Actually shoot, Im gonna give some more time.
If I like what I see, I just might turn something in.
Although I must admit, my perspective on this race is skewed for several reasons, so please don't get offended with my reactions. I would like to give you more insight to this, so you can count on more talk throughout the week.

T2: 46.853
T3: 1'10.638

I have an odd question. If we have to take into consideration the break-in period for store bought cars so that we don't exceed the 350hp. Am I allowed to use a car that starts out exceeding the 350hp and run it until I need the oil change so that the horsepower drops below the 350hp limit? This is a cunundrum. There's no way to be sure someone's hot lap isn't set after the break-period or after the oil change horsepower drop. Boom sure trusts us. Can you clarify for me, Boom?

Dangit! I hate running fast laps, leaving, coming back five minutes later, and then braking your old record in two! Here are my new T times:
T1: 0'24.006
T2: 0'45.642
T3: 1'08.575
It's a full 2 seconds faster than my other time; I gotta learn ot get more consistant!
Edit: New times (
):
T1: 0'24.274
T2: 0'45.747
T3: 1'08.432
I know it's not exactly better at all points, but the lap is actually .5 seconds ahead of the last one...

Kent, I'm glad you've reconsidered.
Kind of fun, if you ask me (okay, so you didn't).
Reminds me of a grippy GPL (except the wheels don't fly off
).
I got my assignment today and that means it's back to work.
I did a quickie with the GT40 @/default, but lowered, maxDF, TCS2.
1st clean save:
23.175
43.628
1:05.723
Slidey, slidey, slidey. Good fun.
Gotta bunch o' crap to do, but I hope to try again.
So, as always, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Umm I dont know..but just as when I buy a car...I instantly change the oil and then there goes up the HP quickly..no need to drive the car some miles..well that's how it works for me

Hmm, well i thought the car id chosen would hold its own pretty well, but i didnt realize the gt40 would be available for this. No matter. im still using this car, i dont care what time it gets. As all of you are well aware of im sure, when you have a "choice" in what car you can drive, theres still always one clear cut car thats gonna be the top dog, and if you wanna get the fastest time, you have to use that car, thereby eliminating any "choice" you might have. to hell w/ that i say! As long as i have a choice, im gonna use it! and drive somthing i can have fun with, so i can save my frustration for a time when theres only one car everyone has to use.
