I made changes. They are on the spreadsheet.
 
I may use the Subaru BRZ instead of the Toyota FT86...same PP so no change there.

The one I used needs added-

The 205 & Lotus need updated PP

Hommel Berlinette is also 402pp needing updated

Awesome racing tonight guys. That's the most clean side by side close competitive racing I've enjoyed in a while. I really think the balanced line up is the way to go. I was competitive and had someone to race with all night.
 
Congrats Joe and Ken. Sorry about my racing last night, I felt like I was just a roadblock.

Hoping I can do better next week, the sports mediums should help...

Oh you will be glad to note we are using Sports Softs next week.

1851pp - 2000pp is Sport Soft ;)

I'd drop the extra pp and take the tire (race hard)


-------------------------------------

Can't find a car on the list:

Evolution VI GSR T.M. SCP '99 - 473pp broke in
 
^ Sweet, sports softs will help even more. That Evo is on the list as NBI at 469pp so that makes sense. Break in is usually +4pp in that range.

Testing after work today:

FF - RM Integra Type R '04 469pp
4WD - Clix Concept '01 461pp
MR - RUF 3400S '00 477pp
FR - M3 CSL '03 497pp

4 cars, one decade.

1885pp makes the range 424 for the low and 518 as the max right?
 
1885pp
Avg. 471pp
Split 424 - 518



Ah, I see that Evo now. It needs updated then. :)
 
Well that was odd....I needed to put nearly 80 miles on the Scirocco to finish breaking it in so I did a 4 lap race around Route X. While the lineup said I started 4th, the timing said 7th and that I was a lap behind :lol:
 
Well my "balanced" lineup seemed to serve me well last night. My highest car was 414pp and the lowest was 401pp. Had a good race with someone every round, never won a race but managed to finish the night near the top half of the leader board.

I feel bad for Owens since no one else brought their big dogs to play at Motegi he almost lapped the entire field. He probably could have used the extra 15-20pp somewhere else last night :)

Going to try it again this week.

Choosing a lineup is not going to easy because I would normally choose a low FF or 4wd and grab high FR and MR. Probably will be driving some cars I have never driven this week.

Looking back at the sign up sheet. You were 2 PP over. So I guess you finished second RIGHT?
 
I was right at 1640 last night. Looks like someone squeeked 1 more PP out of the 205 Turbo and the Hommel some time today. Oh well.

MY cars only had 1640 ;)

I guess you get to pick the PP and I'll pick the track then ;)

Owens can you send me one of your super powered Hommel and Peugeot? Also you sent me a yellow Altezza awhile back...did you want a red one?

I'm actually good with the pp and track the way it is now. You just need to send the trophy to me.
 
Does anyone have a spare Mitsi Evo V GSR '98 sitting in their garage gathering dust?
 
For the first time ever, I prepared my set on Sunday. Took my sweet little time, compared several vehicles, made a big list and quietly chose the final four.
As usual, I dumped the FF option with a modest Nissan Primera to try to be as competitive as possible with the drivetrains that I like and if the Chrysler Crossfire kinda disappointed me as it was not able to beat a '90 Elise and gave me a poor 6th place, the 205 T16 and the Clio fully achieved my expectations although it caused me a spinal shake when I realized Ice Warden was using the exact same car and starting only two positions behind me. That was scary :).
But ended up being a fantastic 16 lap battle without any break times. Thankfully I managed to put out the best of me, making no mistakes and end up beating a racer that I recognize as much better than me.
The Clio was spot on. 10 seconds gap to Taz says it all. I was pretty happy as turning my PS3 off.
 
Starting work on me line up. I do my best thinking with 🤬 in one hand and beer in other.....:lol::cheers:
 
Ok, I'm confused with the RUF 3400....mine has 11k on it, engine rebuilt and chassis redone but is still only at 476PP while the spreadsheet says 477 :confused:
