Stop complaining or i'll call a GT5 hacker to magically raise the fuel use of the Corvette 500%

That preview took me 15mins, and i'm only been on after a few days break and ya already trying to have a go at me? Classic

Also got a brand new earpiece, sounds much better as well. And good for 5 hours when charged.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Excellent! I couldn't hear you well. Not because of your accent but it got a little static-ish.

 

[Furinkazen]

I hear clocks are changing in UK this saturday to BST? That true?

No that would be March 30th

Any lap times and top speeds to compare in GT? I'm 'only' hitting 157 mph in the Cobra, which is what the Jag was almost hitting at Daytona.

Jaguar was around 165 I reckon but took forever to kick in.

Still, that should gain the Jag at least a few seconds on les Hunaudieres. The other cars should gain that back in the porsche curves and in the chicanes, but that could create an interesting dynamic if a Jag is near the front.

What about fuel use? The Corvette we think can manage 20 laps on a tank, Mustang around 14-16.

EDIT HSR Pics will be done soon.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

It's probably worth noting that the Cobra will probably get to 157mph much quicker than the Jaguar will. 👍

Cobra does 18 or 19 laps if fuel consumption is linear (emptied the first quarter tank in the second half of lap 5).

I doubt it. Jag hit 153 or 154 at Daytona when the Cobra was in the high 140s. The Jag is clearly the fastest on the straights among this group, it gives back time by being the worst in the corners.

Cobra out accelerated everything else when I tested at Daytona.

Anyway, the Cobra monsters the corners. 👍

I hit 170 without slipstream, 175 with louts slip

154 at Daytona was pre power update aswell! Then I just die in the corners in HMS Rollalot

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I'm hitting 160 down the straight. Doubt I can get much more out of the 'Stang.

 

[Furinkazen]

GT will certainly be a strategic war. In PT Ferrari and Ford have very similar fuel consumption.

But Ford should have a few miles per hour top end on the Ferrari.....at least in real life.

Draft renders all that totally irrelevant in GT5.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Yeah:

Mike Parkes, in the 2nd-place car, decided to attempt to provoke me into racing with him. He could draft me, but he couldn't pass me. Even when he was in my draft, I had a few miles per hour on him...

That is what it should be like.

EDIT: That's Dan Gurney in the MkIV and Mike Parkes in a P4 by the way.

 

[Furinkazen]

Test room up, anyone want to test?

 

[raceorama123432]

I won't be able to do the whole race if I get in the points before I leave, will I get half points?

2/3rds race distance for full distance, so I expect 2hrs to do the trick for a prototype, and around around 1hr 45mins for a GT car, perhaps less than that.

That's what I was aiming for

 

[neljack]

How long is the race again? I thought I saw 3 hours somewhere.......

EDIT: Seen reply

 

[Furinkazen]

I know it's Le Mans but 3 hours does seem a bit exessive, pretty sure last season at about 2 hours was perfectly ok? Just saying. 👍

Ie, with people leaving I dont want to be trundling along with an hour left with about 3 other people left in my class......

It's double points, double length of a regular 90 minute WSC event. And as documented above, it's starting earlier as well.

I'll be getting a lobby up soon.

 

[neljack]

Hmm, ok.

 

[Furinkazen]

Opening a test room. WSC Test Day

Cheeky bastard! I may be old but I'm consistant.

Testing tonight.
