Season Recap
In the Europe, Asia and American cups, there is one race in each one left to run. Sammo is leading in each cup, however he must finish well in each of the next three races.

In the 2cv and Fiat 500 cups, again sammo is leading how ever there is still five races left to run so plenty of points up for grabs. Finally in the world championship sammo is leading again. Come on guys and girls, he can not win everything :nervous:.

Gotta be honest about one thing and this is no direct criticism, the use of wheels does worry me a tad. Not so much myself but we had a situation this evening of nearly a minute gap. And this makes it impossible for anyone else without the use of one to stand any chance of getting a podium finish. Whether you use one or not please give me your thoughts on this.

Good race this evening, nice and clean as always although turnout was a little frustrating, but I understand as to why.

Well done to everyone.

Sadly using a wheel has too much of an advantage, therefore I think we should all use DS3 to keep it as close and fair as possible.

On another note was thinking about members, sammo we do have about 10-12 however they don't always race , if anyone knows of ways to increase the membership please feel free to post.
 
Well, I use a wheel (pretty old one, see sig) and was, I think, 2 laps down on pretty much everyone. Although that may say more about my skill (not too good), having a wheel doesn't have to mean you'll have a (maybe unfair?) advantage. But I also think the track may have been in favor of wheel users?

Anyway, if the use of a wheel would be not allowed I might pull out of it all.. I'm not going to play a racing game without a wheel just because some don't have one, that would be like not allowing lcd/tft/plasma whatever screens because not everyone has one.. Or am I over reacting? :nervous:

Guys on the back of what cox has said, don't forget I offer a refferal scheme. Please use this as there is something generous for you, for doing so.

Hope you enjoyed your first race spongeinside, I was behind you at one point and you were going like a train!

Fair comment, my only worry is that other racers who haven't the use of a wheel may also get fed up and pull out due to not being able to fully compete. Especially with nearly a minute gap. Unless anyone has a suggestion as to a way round this. I just wish for eveeverybody to have a fair crack at the whip.

Thanks I kinda did.. Didn't expect you guys to be that fast / me being so slow.. But I'm used to being last :) I managed to keep out of the wall pretty good until just over the half way point, hit the wall had some minor damage so thought, might as well pit now the have the mandatory pit done, but not long after I hit the wall again, bit more damage so had to pit again.
But in the end it was all pretty fun, fair and clean racing.

My skills (and maybe setup) wasn't up to par to be competitive and my crappy tv didn't help either, due to it being crt, the resolution is pretty crap (no hdmi) and due to that and the track with all its gray walls and gray road surface really made it all a bit of a gray blur, some corners I just had to aim were I thought the track went and hope it wasn't a wall:dunce:
 
We try and make it as fun as possible, I'm really looking forward to nurb endurance. That'll be amazing.

I think you will be OK, I am not the fastest and smoothest driver, however I just race and have fun. With the addition of about 6 cups, everybody has the ability to win something. To be honest this was not the best race the track is not even accurate to real life, I may remove this track for season 2 and replace it.

Same, I think both will be fun
 
Yeah, my main goal was to make it to the end :P Finish races, get the setups right and then worry about winning ;) Tomorrow I'm going on the hunt of a cheap decent monitor, the crt tv is fine for watching tv, but for gaming it's really bad..

I'm looking forward to the nurburgring aswell, I really love that track and know it pretty much like the back of my hand.. But I'm not looking forward to Indy.. With the 2cv on the oval I'm affraid I'm not going to make it to turn 1 awake.. :P

he he, 2cv at the oval was fun when we tested it drafting and bump drafting to 120mph was sick.
 
Ok. I'm in wrong series. I'm sign of. Bye.

Listen its all just ideas to make racing more fun for everyone, if racers want to leave then I would rather have a one minute gap. then less drivers. Personally some tracks are better then others. Tsukuba was a good race even though wheels were used, racing was close.

Wheels do give you an advantage however many drivers use them so to be honest I would rather just keep everything the same, and just replace the weak and poor tracks.

A great idea would be to use more kart tracks and other small tracks replacing the larger race circuit, your thoughts?

Ok sammo&coxbox. There is no way i start using DS3 👎👎

Let's see where we stand here.

In Laguna (my first race in this series) i notised that i was way off at race pace from you.
Lost my concentration there and made little mistake which caused me to go 2nd pitstop.

Now in Monaco didn't lose my concentration because track is very demanding (one of my favorite track) but race itself was boring (like Laguna - also one of favorite).

Now when i check the race/track list there are some of my favorite tracks so what's that mean...i leave these races to you but only race i really like to come to join you is Nurbugring - if you allow me to race with same specs.
There is something you could do with this race. Set laps to 7 and when winner crossed the finish line (start 7th lap) he/she stop there at some safe place off the track and wait for everyone to run their race to finished (6 laps and stop to wait other to finish).
When everyone is done their 6 laps everybody can exit to the Lounge and save the replay.

Just to clarify something, Laguna seca none of us could catch you until you pitted for a second time. Both me and cox want to make the series as exciting as possible and with that need as many racers as possible.

We are fully open to ideas in order to achieve this, as it will make races far more exciting. To be honest nurb with 6 racers just isn't enough, 10 maybe yes.

We have set this series up off a discussion page and have designed it to what people have asked for.

In regards to use of wheels, I'm purely trying to find out really if everyone as a whole is happy. We wish for everyone to enjoy this series and for it to expand, but can only accomplish this through keeping everyone happy.

In regards to nurb question I think that i would much prefer for it to be a case of when you finish you finish.

We are after input from everyone as to how to make this a better series. Please post messages on here, not PM so that everyone can see what's being said.
 
I'm using a wheel too and only won a race, and wouldnt like it if i'm not able to use it. GT5 is the only reason i bought a wheel.

I also think that setup makes more difference than a wheel. I raced in other championships agains ds3 users and couldnt keep up because i dont really know how to set up the car.

I only join championships because i enjoy using my wheel, if i can't use it then i won't join.
 
Ok thanks for some reason I cant see it in gtplanet app
 
We will be using soft tyres only even though it rains?

Don't worry if people don't want to use DS3, then its OK with me, i would rather have 6 racers then 2

I don't want to stop you using a wheel.

We can only use inters in the rain.


Ok guys i was thinking last night about this i would rather use different tracks to increase the fun, like more small city tracks or Kart space. I don't want to ban the wheel, I do understand that you have got wheels for GT5, so don't want to force you to change. I do think that the setup has been key to wining races though.

The first season was about finding and changing all the problems. I would like your ideas on what we can do better for season 2.
 
I have run only couple laps last night on 2CV so i don't no how fast i'm with that. I like to make at least one race with that one too.
May be next Fiat race i don't quali at all and i start race on last position in the grid. One option is that i use Sport Medium or Hard may be even Comfort Soft. Have to test though how much those change my lap times.
So what Lounge setup you are using in weather races so that i can practice same conditions?

I was thinking about boost that way we can all be close but use different setups and controllers, any thoughts?

Well I need to test but weather will be random so, start on a completely dry track and then and let the game randomize the weather. ,Set the weather changeability option to 5, that way it may rain or not.
