Sorry mechy, you got to the part where you view the image alright. But you have to right click and pick "Save image as" so you can save it on your PC. Once there go to imageshack, photobucket, or any other image uploader and upload it there. Then it should work. Some reason you can't hotlink photos from the GT5 site.

Lol, nice.

No driver get to pick a car now. We will handle the choice of car later on. I don't got a picture of it either atm. I'll throw in a GARAIYA for now. 👍


And guys, be careful with links that are OT. Moderators don't like that. And since this is one of the most serious championships at GTP, I kindly ask you to ease down with OT posts, and also to keep the number of dubble, and tripple posts down. Thanks 👍

I would also like to ask all drivers that participated more than 5 rounds, or got at least 3 podiums in WSGTC 1 to include the following information along with your photo.

It will save me some work.
Thanks. 👍

I had some problems with tyre wear with my Takata Dome NSX. On Tsukuba I just had to pit on lap 19 or so, because I had almost no traction. On Monza my tyres were worn on lap 10.

You said you could finish both races on one set of tyres, Denilson. Did you adjust some settings you wouldn't mind sharing?

Made it a bit easier for you, chorda - Can't find results from the Daytona round though - the results image is broken/deleted, so can't see any of that info - hoping maybe someone has those results saved elsewhere?


- Also, a bit off-topic, but mixed class racing is no better than at Le Mans which was yesterday/today - many guys showed the correct way to deal with traffic or faster cars, but others showed the total incorrect way - no more so than with Rockenfeller's crash in the #1 Audi LMP1 car. This is a great example for why slower cars (GT300 in our case) should hold their line! I don't think we have any problems like this, but worth a mention nonetheless. Btw, he is fine, which is a minor miracle.



Also, a team mate of mine in karting is a mechanic for the #41 Greaves Motorsport Zytek-Nissan which won the LMP2 class, so big congrats to them, very pleased!

 

[Paginas1]

i watched it, the crashes were sooo bad did u see the other audi car at the start **** that it was crazy

 

[Andil]

Yeah the one early on was just as bad, Audi had a good day and a bad day all in one. That one was Mcnish's fault though

 

[Joshua1994]

Didn't McNish break a rib or something?

 

[Paginas1]

think he was fine, i know the other guy had a cut or sumthing.

yea mcnish was just being greedy trying to overtake his team mate and a GT car in the same corner

 

[Joshua1994]

Ah, I thought I heard one of the Eurosport commentators say around midnight he had done.

Glorious.

Found out that I am definitely NOT using an NSX if I do indeed switch to GT500. Bought the Castrol Supra, so I'm going to test that out now.

 

[mechyboy27]

Ah, I thought I heard one of the Eurosport commentators say around midnight he had done.

It happened in the first hour.

 

[Joshua1994]

It happened in the first hour.

Yeah, but on Rockys crash at midnight which caused the 2.5 hour yellow flag, they looked back at the first few well, 10 hours or so.

You said you could finish both races on one set of tyres, Denilson. Did you adjust some settings you wouldn't mind sharing?

I did not pit at Monza. Had no wear at all.. Ofc some wear after 14 laps, but not that I was close to be forced to a pit-stop.
I ran 20 laps before pitting at Tsukuba.

The NSX is good with tyres on some circuits, and worse at others. Suzuka is a track were the gentle fron wear really pays off. But on a track like Tsukuba, rear wheels got worn really fast. You can tune some of it away, but in general, that's how it works.

PM me your setup, and I'll tweak it for you in order to try and help. 👍

And guys, keep posting your driver pics. 👍

 

[Joshua1994]

Can we attach them to a message and send them via PSN?

 

[Denilson]

I don't know.

Just gift me the helmet and suit, and I'll dress my driver and take photos if you can't save your pic on an USB..

Perhaps you can share the photo, and I can take it from there?

[Andil]

Cheers.

Also, login to gran-turismo.com and go to My World or something like that (my profile, basically). Your driver avatar will be there to save

 

[KamyKaze1098]

Might change if I get better suit or helmet.

Oh. And I'll update this post with stats tomorrow when i have time+patience.

Same concept as the previous test, but this time, we use formation laps and all rules will apply as under the season. This is to let any of the new guys to get to practice all procedures to straighten everuthing out before the final, full leanght pre-season race. And before one of the races, I'll start up a quali-session between two of thwe test races to show all of the new guys how the quali is done. Quali results will not be used in any of the races during this session, but I want as many of you as possible to see how the procedures work. We will start all races with a formation lap.

Ok, I searched for some tunes and found one. But thanks anyway.👍
Now I'm buying all 3 NSX'es and see which one I like the most. Pretty sure I'm going to race in an NSX. Awesome handling car.

Yes. That would work too. I think.
