WSC VI - Oalith, Yeratel, Panoz All End The GT5 Era At A Soaked Spa! Share Your Memories!

This remains to be seen especially at the likes of Le Mans, Monza and Pescara. Oh and what has been done about the Alpine?

Furi already said it. The E-Type is still the fastest on straights, but without the ECU providing additional advantages in acceleration, this only comes out on tracks where you reach speeds in excess of 250km/h and it takes a lot longer to get there. Instead, it got a lot more predictable in corners with the fixed suspension. (similar for the Stratos, which is much less of a monster now)

Alpine doesn't have an ECU anymore. Been that way since Le Mans.

Basically top speed has dropped and acceleration isn't quite as good.

Correct. The Alpine lost about 5km/h in top speed and on acceleration with last season's spec-change. Tested it extensively and it's well within BoP now.

Please note though that a BoP cannot make all cars equal on all tracks. Of course there will be cars that have an advantage on the fastest tracks (Le Mans, Pescara) or on the slower tracks (Eiger, Nürburgring). There will be cars on either kind of track that will have less chances to win there than others.

Nevertheless, on tracks like Daytona, Spa and Monza (surprisingly) there is very little between these cars. In my testing at Daytona there was less than 0.5s between all cars, so no matter which car someone picks, they should have a fighting chance with it. Whichever car you pick, you have to be aware though that you will have it tough on some track during the season, and it's up to you to choose which, and nobody else to blame, if you pick the wrong car. And it's part of the fun too in a series like this, that even if you can't win a certain race, to make the best out of your and the car's abilities. 👍

Wow almost full entrylist.
Is there room for me ??
If yes I´d like to take a Miura (C3 and Z28 are the fastest I know, but optically the Miura is just pure ***).

€dit: I can´t make the Season finale.

Go on Sakery 👍

I'm glad to hear the Lancia is getting Fixed Sports Suspension, when I tested it before WSC V it was too much to handle, especially around Eiger.

 

[Furinkazen]

Due to me being a bit busy next couple weeks, i'm pushing start back a week. May still have an unofficial test on the next couple sundays though.

The Miura is just about equal in every respect with the other two you mentioned. So, you ought to be fine (and in style, too!)...

 

[Furinkazen]

I am NOT ruling out an appearance in GT some point either. Going to do some testing tonight, opening a lobby soon.

 

[Furinkazen]

Test Open!

 

[Downhill Dino]

I'll be there momentarily.

 

[rustyMercedes]

sign me up for GT, don't know what car yet

EDIT: would come to test but I really should be at work right now, GTA Online destroyed any sense of responsibility I had this morning...

 

[chrisjohnson93]

Didn't come tonight as I was too busy playing F1 2013 which I got today, put many laps around the 2 classic with the classic cars

 

[Furinkazen]

Lamborghini and Corvette full.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

I'll check the Lancia to see how the new specs for the car and how it handles then see about the other cars to compare them then I'll choose which one I'm using.

I guess there's a test on Sunday

 

[rustyMercedes]

I might just do Prototype in a Ferrari for this final season on GT5. Should be able to afford one by the start of the season but it's tentative, still might decide to do GT.

Still though, Furi you can put me down in the Ferrari for the Prototype class 👍

Good shakedown test last night. Was quite pleased with the result but I feel there is another half second in there somewhere.

 

[Downhill Dino]

What are the times people are getting in GT on Daytona so far?

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I think a good time last season was about a 2:05

I could be wrong though

👍

Cobra was at 2:05.1 IIRC.

I tested last night and got a 2:06.xxx

According to Furi and Snow all cars except the Corvette and the Camaro have been slowed down.

 

[snowgt]

You should be fine with 2:06's. Fastest lap in season 5 was a 2:05.7. All cars can lap in the mid to low 06's, with a great lap on the brink of being illegal through busstop being in the 05's.

I got that once on a perfect lap

2:07's are comfortable every lap

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Lets just be honest most of us will be right over the yellow curbs when going through the bus stop

My problem is that I've done so much testing for previous seasons my times are a bit out of date. I was surprised to see that PTs were only doing 43s and high 42s, because at full PP the Ford can do low 42s and even high 1:41s.

So how do I like the Corvette? I like it, fun to drive and I feel more confident with it.

Glad to hear it Randy. Did you get my set up messages?

Yes sir, I may send a PSN request when I get on much latter tonight, early Wednesday morning.

No problem Randy, PM away.

 

[Furinkazen]

Bit busy, just come back from my 20th birthday bash. Just to say GTP Jammy (some may remember him from NASCAR Trucks) is joining us for three events including Le Mans in a Jaguar XJ13.

 

[FlyingFox]

Is there a test this Sunday?

 

[Furinkazen]

OP title was for sunday just gone but I was busy. I'm still very busy but if I am not distracted with BTCC finale fall out, Bathurst 1000, or NASCAR @ Charlotte then all should be good.

Motors TV used to show the Bathurst 1000 live, now its all highlights 👎

If its on I'm watching it.

So If no test this Sunday it'll be the 18th then?
