June 3rd is the Suzuka race. This friday is WSGTC 2 test for the ones who are interested. I posted in the WSGTC 2-thread the cars I've tested so far. And it would be great if as many cars as possible from that list could enter the race. With the same mods, and power limitaion as suggested. I'll probably add a few more cars to that list when we are getting closer to race day. If some one want to try a specific model, but don't got the credits for it, I'll be happy to loan you one for the race. Can send it over a few days earlier if you want to do some setup work with it.

Wet track: Yes, rubber is very slippery when wet. But it's just so wrong when you get spray behind you on the racing line, but no spray when you're off it. Anyway, a good experiance for me.
 
When it's fully wet, yes, off line is faster because there's more grip out there. But when it's stopped raining and it's nearly all dry, in real life the only wet parts are the outside of the track. The racing line is dry from all of the cars driving over the track. However in GT5 it's the oppsite, which is wrong.
 
GT300 total:

1. Moleman: 605 :cheers:
2. SteelToedSloth: 419
3. Shrugging_Atlas: 385
4. KamyKaze1098: 377
5. Neomone: 346
6. Scanny_Flick: 310
7. GTP_Senninha: 291
8. maximus254: 288

Well on the Anton.. (the super long straight), around lap 7 when the sun came out, I did notice that some parts had spray, some didnt. And the part which didn't, seemed to be the racing line exit of the Galgenkopf, so I dont know if I fully agree about the racing line staying wet.

Actually yes, you're right, was thinking about the track still being wet in my message, but ofc the racing line should be (more or less) the first thing to dry. Hmm, nevermind, but something to remember + think about for next time.

Maybe the track was not fully dry just yet, although not raining it still takes a long time to dry. Might explain the extra grip off the racing line while the track was 'dry' visually, but not physically. Orrrr gt got the weather physics a bit wrong :P
 
I'm sorry about last night.
I was forced to shut my PS3 off.
A storm came, I heard one of the loudest cracks of thunder and it scared the crap out of me.
I didn't want to fry my system again.
 
In season 2. Can we offer bonus points to the drivers that make every race. As wel finish these This would be nice. As well some that avoid races they don't like cause they can drop one or two races. Well I don't know the ring knew I would stink. But I said I would race and I will.

Then again. I love racing. Even if I am lapped by GT300 cars iny GT500. ;)


Just sone food for thought to help ensure we get full fields.
 
Yes, I have given it some tought as well.. Have to come up something. Obviusly, the best would be to find drivers who we know will stay. As it looks for now, we got 10 drivers from each class that we know will stay and race as many races a possible. Then we got a whole bunch of guys who show up randomly. My hopes is that we'll be enough commited drivers next season so the trouble with empty fields will automaticly disapear.

I know of a few drivers who will enter next season that are commited. Much better to race within a tight group instead of having a 40 driver list when only 1/3 show for each quali/race.

I Think the problem with that is internet problems, ps3 problems and holidays is the Many problems i have had. Probarbly others have had different problems so i dont Think it is a good idea because things like that you cant really dó anything about. My point is that i have bern comited to the Series read every thread and been active in the Series but missed a lot of races.
 
The 10 bonus points we give out now for finishing a race is enough to overcome that problem. That way, people will have to attend the race and complete it. Whereas if you gave points just for turning up, people could just quit after a few laps. Edit: oh you're on about giving a set amount of points at the end of the season to people who attended every race? Sounds fair to me, as long as long as it's something low like 5 points.

I've started testing the gt300s online. As I first thought, the Impreza (with mods) I tested before is faster than the other cars with online physics compared to offline physics. So the stage 3 turbo with a power limiter will have to be power limited even more. I'll put the results up later today or tomorrow anyway. Do you want me to test the standard Garaiya, RX-7 and Impreza aswell? If you do, I'll need to borrow a Garaiya and Impreza off of someone.

I put my kids and friends out to stay committed. Miss out of invites to parties and such......is all about what's important. Real life is very.

I still think something needs to be rewarded to those that make sacrifices to be at every race. ;)

Yes thinking like 2 per race if you make them all. In a ten race season it's only 20.

Option two. Say I make all races and drop two. I still could get the bonus points for race. Just not finish points. So basically if you make them all you get bonus points from the two you drop. This makes good sense.

This is the better option imo.

So you could attend 10 races, use 8 as your scoring rounds, but still get the 10 finishing bonuses. Basically just get the bonus for every round you finish, regardless of whether you drop it or not.

June 3rd is the Suzuka race. This friday is WSGTC 2 test for the ones who are interested.

I'll be racing next Friday in the WSGTC2 test as well as in Suzuka on June 3 👍. Anything planned for June 10? I hope there will be another WSGTC2 test because I'll be out driving real world Porsches at a 5 hour Porsche World Roadshow event in Monticello, NY. Can't wait! I got a preview last week at the AMG Performance Drive on the same track, got to drive three 500+ HP AMGs in the wet, if only they let us turn TCS off :D

Thanks for posting the results and even the GT300 totals. Looks like consistency got me on a provisional podium, who would've thunk!
 
Ultrap: Yes, conisstency is key. 👍 Great work so far!

Good discussion about the bonus points. It's actually a really good idea. The one where you keep all your bonuspoints, even from the dropped rounds. 👍

But try to keep the WSGTC 2 discussion to that thread. It's much easier to keep track of everything if we keep everything in the same thread. I'll post this in the WSGTC 2 thread so we don't forget what we discussed. 👍
 
Just posted my Lap 2 of the race on youtube, embedded it below - this is when I changed to intermediate tyres when most others were on full wets - shows how much I was pushing and also how good the tyre was at that point. Just interesting more than anything else I suppose, and I was quite happy with the pace of the lap as well as the speed of clearing traffic.

Video quality is kinda ok-ish and audio is low, sorry :P

 
That's an awsome lap Andil. 👍

Personally, I got a really hard time to judge when to go from intermidiates to wets or vice versa. Sure, I know that when the sun is shining and the track are getting dryer, inters is the best choice. But as in the video, I'd never change to inters when the weather looks like it did.

UAE_ReDLiNe: This season ends on the 3rd of June. We then need to do one or two more tests. Then I need to create a solid and good looking OP. Then, a lot of us go for holiday (I'm going to Spain for 2 weeks) during the summer. So I'd say that WSGTC 2 will kick off mid to end of July.
 
No, if we race evry two weeks (as suggested in the WSGTC 2 thread), and first race is in the end of July, you'd probably not miss a race.

Holidays are one major reason for the championship not to kick off in mid summer. I'd say you'll make it. 👍

Also if we do the every other week and happen to land a race on a holiday. We have a week either direction to get the race in and not stretch schedule any.
 
Good point Owens 👍

I'll wait until this weekend before I close this thread and start up the final 10th round thread.
We can also start a discussion here how we are going to set up the test race this Friday.

We'll go with the same connect and Green flag times.
Connect: 19.00 PM (GMT)
Race start: 20.00 PM (GMT)

Should we do (let's say) 3 smaller races instead of one long one? And add the rule that you have to race a different car for every race. In this case, we get to try out as many cars as possible with the suggested mods (by me and Aderrrm) as posted in the WSGTC 2 thread. We'll get a lot of feedback this way, and if me or Aderrrm missed to make some models equal, we'll know about it now and can return to the test track.

So we'll not use the ballast system this week. The most important at this stage is to decide the level of mods to get the cars as close to eachother as possible. Then, when we are happy with the level of the cars we can start testing the ballast penalies. Sounds like a plan? Any other ideas?

I think one long ones better imo. For example, you dont have to fuss TOO much about your qualifying position, as quite frankly, anything can happen during that long period of time which can help boost your position. With short races, it would seem that the pack would split up very quickly, as well, falling behind in a short race isn't the most logical. Oh and also, long races appeal to me :D

And about the different cars, yeah I guess its a good idea in the fact that for example, im most likely choosing the yellow hat supra for season 2, and if I found out after the first few races, its utter wank, I wont be stuck with it. But to be honest, I think thats part of the fun, I mean, each car has its high points, and well, its something to look forward too when you know your car is most suited for that track e.g. Daytona and the SC430

Ofc we'll keep the format we are now using also in WSGTC 2. I was more thinking of the test this Friday. With a lot of small races, every driver needs to try a different car each race so me and Aderrrm can get some feedback from all the other drivers. With this in mind, the best way is to do shorter races. You still get a good idea of the cars performance and tyre wear if we run, let's say 12 lap races. Qualifying and position is secundary this week. Ofc. it's always nice with a win, but the main reason os to test the cars and it's mods. 👍

I totally agree with you that it's fun that all cars got it's pros and cons. As you said, it's nice to know that your car will be fast at one perticular track. Just like IRL 👍

I know that the YELLOWHAT SUPRA is really quick in the straights, and high speed sections, but lacks corner speed. On the other side, you got the GT-R's. And in the middle, the Lexus's. NSX would also be a car that's more similar to the YELLOWHAT SUPRA. Not sure about it yet since I have'nt made a desition about the NSX yet. Mostly cause I'm not good enough with it I guess. I've asked C-Falcon89 if he could help out with it, since he's a great NSX driver. But have'nt got an answer from him yet.


What track should we race at this Friday? Same track for all races is a must since we are going to compare the cars we drive. How about Suzuka? It's a good track with a lot of different corner types, also fast sections and tecnical sections. Think it would be the best one. What do you guys think?
 
Well to be honest I don't want to race at Suzuka, then at Suzuka again a week after. :P

Fuji would be my suggestion.
