World Super GT Championship Season 3 Discussion

[Masi_23]

My only gripe with GP/F is the lack of grip in some sections of the corners, but that makes it more challenging. The whole track demands consistency and the true racers really show

For me, id get rid of 24hrs and keep GP/F... if we don't keep GP/F, we can do a mixed race in GP/D seeing as it is shorter.

 

[Andil]

Don't really understand the "GP/F is on the 24h circuit" argument - GP/D is too, you know, just to a lesser extent of 4 corners

Besides, the 24h layout uses 8mins of Nordschleife and 1min of the GP Circuit, it's hardly like doing the same circuit twice. And it skips sector 1 and the chicane so really it's not the same at all...

I'd like to keep the 24h race tbh, just ensure weather settings are less harsh if that was the problem this time just gone.

 

[Masi_23]

Yeah, if we keep 24hrs, we'll set the weather off but still with night cycle.

 

[NEPALII]

You can keep 24h, as I love the Norschleife layout but take out the weather. Put only time change.

Not sure about Tsukuba. Might be too tight to race there. Other than that, it's perfect. 👍

 

[Masi_23]

Tsukuba would be a very engaging and challenging race for both classes

Close racing at such a small circuit - this race should show how clean the field is by the end of the day.

Still, its only just a proposal

 

[Paginas1]

I think Daytona should stay to be honest as I do quite like it lol but up to everyone else

 

[Otsdarva]

I enjoyed Daytona as well, but I'm fine either way. Most of the tracks on there I enjoy.

 

[Masi_23]

Indy or Daytona?

Laguna or Tsukuba?

1. Fuji (Same - Dual Heats)
2. Laguna Seca or Tsukuba (Mixed - 1 Heat)

Indy and Laguna. I love Tsukuba and Laguna, but I'll take Laguna over Tsukuba.

 

[NEPALII]

Laguna and Indy for me.

I would take out Monza and Monaco before any of IRC, DRC, Tsukuba, or Laguna Seca.
IRC is probably my third favorite track, so in any case I would choose that over anything listed besides Spa.

I also don't think we should do Spa twice in favor of another track.

 

[Masi_23]

New slipstream (still very suspect) should change the dynamics at Monza.

And Monaco, it's just a fantastic and challenging track. Love the elevation changes but this track is very unforgiving - specially to the novice. Would love to have it back though.

What do you have in mind?

 

[twistedfirework]

Tsukuba and daytona for me. Also I would keep monza

 

[Adam41]

Here's my proposal. I don't know why we have to sacrifice a good track just so we can have 2 Suzuka races. 2 Spa races I can just cope with.

1. Fuji (Same - Dual Heats)
2. Laguna Seca (Mixed - 1 Heat)
3. Spa (Same - Dual Heats)
4. Nurburgring GP/F or GP/D (Mixed - 1 Heat)
5. Suzuka (Same - Enduro)
6. Indy (Mixed - 1 Heat)
7. Monaco (Same - Dual Heats)
8. Monza (Mixed - 1 Heat)
9. Daytona (Same - Dual Heats)
10. Spa (Same - Enduro)


Mixed Class
175km

Same Class
Feature: 150km
Sprint: 25-50km

[Otsdarva]

Hm, Aderm's proposal is rather nice. I'm all for it.

 

[CSLACR]

1. Fuji (Same - Dual Heats)
2. Laguna Seca or Tsukuba (Mixed - 1 Heat)
3. Tsukuba (Same - Dual Heats)
4. Nurburgring GP/D (Mixed - 1 Heat)
5. Suzuka (Same - Enduro)
6. Indy (Mixed - 1 Heat)
7. Monaco (Same - Dual Heats)
8. Monza (Mixed - 1 Heat)
9. Daytona (Same - Dual Heats)
10. Spa (Same - Enduro)

A slightly revamped version of Aderrrm's list. I hadn't noticed two Suzuka races either. This way leaves Monza (though slipstream change isn't enough, I promise) and Monaco, even though it's impossible to pass there.

Another thought...

1. Spa
2. Laguna Seca
3. Tsukuba
4. Daytona
5. Suzuka
6. Indy
7. Fuji
8. Monza
9. Nurburgring GP/D
10. Spa

 

[Masi_23]

My only complaint with Indy and Daytona is the lack of character and the very flat terrain. I think the main draws are the close finishes they produce because of their wide and long straights. I wouldn't
mind dropping both, but i'd prefer to keep Indy rather than Daytona. If i was to change something with Aderrrm's list, i'd switch GP/D to GP/F then switch Monaco to Round 9 with Daytona going to Round 7.

Anyway, I made a quick draft for a much simpler and intuitive interface for WSGTC 3 OP.

Yo. 👍

 

[CSLACR]

Is there going to be a new cars/specs list for season 3 or the same carried over?

 

[Adam41]

I like that schedule Masi. The only thing I would change is making the Spa Enduro a super mega exciting final race by converting it to Mixed Class. Then you have same-mixed-same... etc throughout the whole schedule.

This. 👍

 

[Masi_23]

Spa 1000km?

I kid, i kid.

 

[Denilson]

I'd swap Daytona or Fuji for Nurburgring 24h without any hasitation at all..
(Just race without the weather at Nurburgring and that race will be nothing but epic)

The rest looks fine.

 

[NEPALII]

Spa 1000km?

I kid, i kid.

I wouldnt mind doing it, but I doubt any of the connections would hold. I mean that would take about 6 hours.

 

[Masi_23]

@ Dennis - doesn't bother me one bit neither. Let's see what the others say.

But just to get into it a little further...

Advantage - It's Nordschleife! It's awesome!
Disadvantage - Too long of a track! If someone wrecks early on a lap, they might get discouraged and quit right then and there. Can also lengthen reviewing process for replays even with the new features: fast forward/rewind.

@ NEPALII - I wouldn't mind doing a 12 hour race! I just need free time which is pretty miniscule when you have to balance work, school, and family

Maybe in GT6 when i've already graduated and we can have 40-car grids.. epicness



p.s. Standard supra below looks legit, eh?

Credit goes to Mush' Super GT league in NeoGaf.

 

[Otsdarva]

lol You're psychotic, Masi. We have enough accidents as it is with 14 of us. Heaven forbid we cram 40 of those tuner monsters onto one grid. We'll be having a game of Russian Roulette at 160mph!

The six hour grind from hell sounds pleasant though!

 

[Masi_23]

It can be an Epic car pornography with the right people!
