Long time no see... Nice to see ya around again! 👍[/QUOTE]

Yea very long time and good to be around.

Got any choons for us?

 

[Denilson]

I'm not telling you how to feel about it. You said you spend almost all your free time a week qualifying and setting up, and then complained that it leaves you no time for your friends and family. That's just unhealthy, and I maintain the right to be shocked at that statement.

You have no idea whether I get a good setup in those two hours I spend, or whether I simply hack together something that works, blow out a moderately clean qualifying lap and then go out with my friends for a beer. I never said that it was possible to be perfect in two hours, just that two hours was the amount of time I spent on it to be comfortable. Your time spent will be different, mine is simply for comparison.

I'm telling you that it's your choice how much time you wish to spend on preparation. Technically, the minimum required preparation is a single qualifying lap. Plus whatever the race time is per week. Anything over that is entirely up to you.

Your value for time spent is going to be different to mine, depending on how much you like spending time with your friends and family and how much you like racing. I can't help you with that. I'm just saying that instead of making the race series longer for everyone, maybe the answer is to spend a little less time playing computer games and accept the fact that you're going to finish a little lower than you would otherwise. I recommend spending as much time with your family as you want to, and then play GT5 with whatever time is left. To me, my relationships with my friends and family are more important than playing GT5. If you feel like you HAVE to play GT5, you're probably doing something wrong.

Honestly, I'd prefer none of the preparation and such. Just show up and race. But that's not how this series works, so it's just part of the deal.

Again, and for the last time, friend.. You're doing it again..

All my sparetime? Sparetime for me is AFTER I have done things with family and friends, work, training and so on. How much do you got? How much do I got? See, quite hard to answer, right. I'm only posting my taughts about how often we are going to race. If you would like to give up every friday night for 6-10 weeks ahaed, it's up to you.

I could'nt care less about your own personal wiev of my situation, specially since you know nothing about it.

So my idea is for you to swollow your pride and just quit posting from the other side of the planet what I do with my sparetime, how much I got of it, and so on.

And if it was so bad for me, that I actually did not spend any time with my friends or at work to play GT5, and I still taught we should race every 2 weeks, you still should'nt post anything about it. Especially since the only reason to your post was against my taughts. It would've been completeley different if you just posted your OWN wiev of the subject.

 

[Masi_23]

Remember guys, i listed 10 weeks but only 8 races will count to compensate for missed races. We can make it shorter by having 8 weeks and counting 6? Also, a race every other week is too long a wait. People will lose interest, as evident with Monaco (delayed for 2 weeks). Weekly is good for now, and If the series succeeds after 1 season and goes to another level, then we shall expand the schedule.

I'll have a poll up later today so we can all have a say.

 

[Imari]

This is fun.

With a race every week, it's not much else you can do with your sparetime than practicing, tuning, qualifying to be competative in the race. With 2 weeks between the races it gives me some time to do other things than just work, train, and play GT5.. I need my friends and family as well Feels like you guys have been my family the last couple of weeks

Sounds like someone hasn't seen their family and friends for a couple of weeks. Sounds like someone has been spending all their time playing GT5. Sounds like someone would rather be spending said time with friends and family.

It's up to you whether the time put into a racing game to get a couple of places higher up the results list is worth more than time with your family and friends. It's certainly possible to have an enjoyable and competitive race on very little prep time.

I recommend spending as much time with your family as you want to, and then play GT5 with whatever time is left. To me, my relationships with my friends and family are more important than playing GT5. If you feel like you HAVE to play GT5, you're probably doing something wrong.

Sounds like me advising you that you might be happier spending less time on a computer game, and more time in the real world, instead of imposing your needs for more time between races on the rest of us. If you want to take offense to that, and remain pissed off that some of us would rather race more often than once a fortnight it's no skin off my nose.

Guten tag! Here is my 'Official' Qualifying Lap Replay Submission

Not in the mood to try and improve on it.

My quali lap.

PSN: Moieman

Car: Lexus Weds Sport IS350
Class: GT300
Lap Time: 1'23.247



Yeah, I know I am a bit wide at Turn 2, but I still have two wheels on the kerb. A bit cheeky, sorry, but unintentional and probably lost me time. As I said earlier, seems very hard to string a full lap together without running wide somewhere. This is as wide as it gets through Turn 2 though, which I think is (just!) acceptable with the "2 wheels on track/kerb" rule:

 

[Denilson]

Sorry guys for imposing my needs on you..

 

[Masi_23]

@ Andil - Clean Lap 👍

 

[Denilson]

I'm afraid I can't meke the Laguna Seca event. But have fun. It would also be nice to see some GT500 laptimes.

I would say that it understeer out of the corners, and then I contra apply, sometimes to much, gas and then it will be on the edge to oversteer. The car feels quite stiff, and I can't really keep pace through the track. I've tried some different setups doesn't really seem to work.

Now Johnkiller sent me a list of what I could do, and I havn't tried it out yet. But it would nice with some different setups from some of you fast drivers

Understeer in the middle/exiting corner: Ok, try to reduce your Front Anti Roll Bar. Keep it stronger than the rear, but max 6 in front. Keep rear 1 or 2 below the front. It's very much how you feel about it that counts. If that does'nt help. Try keeping the front toe out around -0,10. And the camber around 1,7 in front. You could increase the rear to to around 0,7 if you like as well. Also, make sure that you don't have to stiff sping rate in front. I guess you should run about 15,6-7 in front, And 15,1 rear. Also make sure you have maximum downforce atleast in the front.
Important while laborating with this is to change ONE thing->test, change the next thing->test, and so on. In that way it's more clear what adjustment did what effect to the car


About oversteer when throttle is applyed during exit: Try set the rear toe to 0,15 and adjust it from there after how you feel. The larger the number, the more it counteracts oversteer out of the corner as you apply throttle. You can also decrease the number on the acceleration settings on the LSD from default 40 down to 30.. Same thing here, change one thing at a time to make sure you really feel what change mede what to the handling.

Good luck!👍

Thank you chorda! I'll try this for the next race for sure. As I have already done a lap I feel good about.

Pobanly not impossible with 1:16's.. But I don't have that kind of time this week, and won't participate at Laguna Seca I'm afraid. Did some practice online yesterday with Masi and got a low 1.20.. In practicemode I did 1:18.1, and feel that I could improve a bit. But as my time this week is limited I can't get myself to push as hard as I would want to..

What have you managed to pull so far Sincx?

 

[takl23]

Room open for practice: 1472-6681-3158-0103-1083

Laguna Seca is open right now, probably change tracks a couple times. Such a difference racing online obviously that I'll be running laps at 'Seca for the time being. I'll leave the room open for free run most of the night.

So Existor is still in?

 

[Sincx]

Just done some laps and busy tweaking the setup. Down to a 18.4 at the moment with the NSX. Feel there is lot of room to improve especially with the settings thats why I said 1.16 to start with. 1.17's is aim I guess depending what time you got to make that setup and do that perfect lap

He's under probation

Is this your Official Lap?

here's how you embed a youtube vid:

http: / / www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ0SDVlmGmQ

The characters in the bold are the ones you need to copy and paste below:

[*Youtube]*Paste it here!*[/Youtube*]

REMOVE ALL THE ASTERISKS WHEN AFTER YOU PASTE!

It will come out as follows:



p.s. your video is set as private, make it public so everyone can view it.

Thing is.. Laguna Seca is to me, a track where no lap feels 100%. Very hard to hit all apex's, and also a lot of corners that tend to tighten on the way out forcing drivers to hold the throttle, if only for 1/10. But still I can't get that perfect feeling about a lap, even if it's a good laptime..

Turn 2, 3, 4, (5), 8, 9, 10 all feels kind of "funny" in different ways.
2, 3, 10 is very frustating to go thru for me.. Feels like forever before you can hit the throttle.. After the corcscrew also feels kind of funny, making one really careful at the exit to avoid spinning..

 

[Masi_23]

I love Laguna, although yes, its hard to be consistent, especially Turn 6 (for me at least).

I've got my tune down to the low 1'23.xxx with Lexus Wedsport. I think it's possible to break 1'22.xxx but it's going to be hard.

 

[Aizen93nasty]

haay masi m8. You forgot to post my tag on the first page man.

Ah, sorry, i think there was a zzzazien93 before? is that you?

Btw, what's happened with the pictures?

Edit: Ok, thankfully theres a disable option for the automatic resizing of the images.

Do you meen (turn 6) the first lefthander or the second righthander in the corkscrew?

The high speed left-hander right after the bridge.

Aa, ok.. Yea, that's a tricky one since you don't se the corner until you are actually in it.. I feel that I have to turn in before I can see it..
