Prize cars are acceptable for this race.

Thanks everyone, glad to see participation is promised. (lets just hope you can all follow through. :lol: )

I don't have any splits for this, but I will take a run later today or tomorrow.

btw, glad to see the 1 hour earlier deadline isn't an issue with anyone. :D

Later.
 
Congratulations on your new status, Kent. 👍
Great combo and a great gesture with a tribute race. I was fearing some insane vehicle on complex (don't know where I got that idea from. ;) )
I'm looking forward to race under your command. :)
 
This is weird,i bought a new car-hp 410,now i go back to the dealer and they are all 450 hp with the turbo on.

1.IS this the old bait and switch scam?
2.I think i need a lawyer to sue my Toyota dealer.:lol:
3.Anybody interested in a slightly used Supra? :odd: Its a one-off item,factory error.

:irked:
 
I tried to get in to last weeks race. I posted my qualification time along with my week 52 time to boom last night but it did not go through. Was i too late or should i have pm'ed my times to GoKents instead?
 
Well what timing!!!! Thanks Kent

P.S What division am i in?
 
Kent, no problem with the deadline. It is 8 am tuesday morning here so It has no effect to me, 'cause I submit my time Monday night local time. :)

And good for me, I took almost a second off my previous best. Now T-times 20.9//40.4. I decided to go the T2 under 40 today :D. Thanks for posting that setup, Mr P, I will try it later.

Welcome to the weeklys DQuaN, and good luck! 👍

Laters..
 
If I do not feel like going through the trouble of winning enough money to buy one or winning one in a race, is using the Arcade Mode car acceptable?
 
well tried some laps in the Supra, and this is my best so far

T1=0'20.377
T2=0'39.917

I thought I had a good one, but after watching that monstrous T2 by P, I guess I have to try that setup and go faster:D

I thought this too. is the only difference between the sim and the arcade car that you cant change the tyres ?? If so then someone using arcade would struggle ( depends what tyres the arcade car has??)

anyway I had enough credits to buy the car - Ive only got 600,00 left though now !! I need to get some more credits fast if we've to buy another car later on in the series !!
 
well car is bought, gear trick done !! setts just about to be looked at, tea has been eaten already so here I go !!! wish me luck ! (those in Div 1 and 3 anyway !)
 
Sorry about that fellas. (in regards to purchasing a car and what not.)

What I will do is this...
1. You can run an arcade version, but in the results I will post that exception for individuals. So include if you used an arcade castrol in your results pm.
2. In the next few weeks at one point I will throw us a prize car so racers can actually earn money and get a car to race with. (helps the budget and gets you the prize car.

Also, if money is an issue, jump in your fastest car and go to the amatuer league german touring car championship.
3 laps for each race.
30,000 first place for each race.
Plus bonus and prize car if you race the 5 race series.
(this will win you tons of money fast, and if you save at the end of the 4th race, you can reload and skip the 5th race over and over again until you win an expensive prize car.

Good luck fellas, and remember, yes you can use the arcade car if you really don't want to bother with the sim car... but it's gonna leave you at a dissadvantage.
 
Mr P! The setup is awesome! I could took .7 seconds off my overall, and, as I promised, I did go below 40secs in the T2. Thanks again! 👍 :)
20.377//39.553
 
ok...I'm confussed....I bought the supra this morning, sold off some other cars to fund it. Are we running the ARCADE version or sim version (our own tires/oil change). I seems like it needs to be one or the other and not both.....
 
We are running with the sim version of the car, but if you don´t have money to buy it, use the arcade version. Thats how I understanded it.
 
After first session I've got:
20.443
40.292
I'm also using Mr P's settings. The car handles so sweet. Thanks.:)

@scuderia. I understand it like RSCosworth understands it. ;)
 
just ran 20 or so laps with medium tyres on ! well done me :lol: :lol:

and I just noticed that the left side wheel nut things are red whereas the right side ones are blue !! Im going too slow to notice that !
 
20.5
39.7

Get yourself an Xport BigJ. You can get any car within minutes for free :D

That is how I understood it too...so this means there will be two classes and two, well 6, "winners.

Correct?

Given we are running the sim version with no real mods other than tires/oil change that still gives one a HUGE advantage over the arcade supra. Let alone you can't tune the arcade version (settings)....

Unless there are 2 classes/6 winners it needs to be one or the other....

Or declare it as class racing (like say leMans with multiple classes) and victories within the times for each class..

Sorry to be a PITA but rules are rules no?

I know, I'll get one when I can get off my ass or when I post tremendously quick times and have to put my replay up !!! Or even to join the TORC racing series !

anyway

20.6
39.9 - never thought Id get under 40 secs, Ive pretty much cracked the first right hander but I seem to struggle with the nasty right just before the bridge b4 the long left b4 t2 :sad: any tips on how you lot in the 38 sec's are running that corner ?
 
20.0 / 39.1 :)

BigJames, the only way to go round that corner is fast as you can! brake very little and slide in with power, you should just run a little on the inside rumble on the exit of the turn and keep a nice straight line into the roundy :D 3rd gear all way through it for me.

I use third for the whole corner too - Its just that I seem to manage to take a different line each time and cant get the same one each time !!!
 
hmm well so far ive got
T1: 20.4
T2: 40.6

i have a feeling all the times will be very close on this race.

Congrats on your promotion ;)

sounds like a good start to a new year of raceing... unfortunately I almost completely dried up my cash reserves so I dont have the money to buy the car. maybe next race hey :)... or can I run the arcade vers of the car?
