What was wrong with the old 450pp SS tuned car set up? I thought it produced a lot of very even and close racing the few nights I was able to make it. With the new ability to limit vehicle drivetrains, you can now eliminate the NSX's, Evora's, 111R's etc., or 4wd's or whatever, and for a time or for a whole night limit it to one or several drivetrains. These options should produce even closer racing than it was before.

Yes, but that would give people less to complain about wouldn't it ?
 
Nothing wrong...we just exhausted the cars to the point where we know what is fast now. I was thinking running non-tuned cars might reveal a few quicker cars. To some extent it does, but the cars that are quick aren't much of a surprise. Pretty much means that car selection is more important than tuning.
 
I have a few suggestions: Open the pp to 500 maybe? Would open the car choice for more variety. Change the tires to SH or SM. Would put a bit of a spin on things. Finally, before the room opens, somebody could post a Premium or OCD car that everybody buys and vehicle tuning is prohibited. HP is set a little lower than stock so everybody has the same HP. So what do you guys think? Maybe to keep the field sort of even, winner of each race adds 50kg or drops power by 5%.
 
I was about to suggest, maybe manipulate the pp around 450 a bit so the Elises NSXs and Evoras are not as dominant. Yes those cars are dominant at 450, but what about at 475 or 425 ? At 475 they may be down on hp and end up vulnerable to Ruf 3400 or the Art Morrison Corvette. At 425 a Miata or a Cappuccino may be able to beat them.

Change the name to The 450-ish Street Car Tuners Club ?
 
Hah, at this point it is the 450-ish club. Or more specifically, the street car club since we don't really bother with the tuner/race cars.

You can fix that issue by just not ticking the box marked "MR", When you set up a race, although of course it will exclude all the cars not as good that are also MR.

I haven't done a lot of non-tune racing but I'd guess it'll be much the same, cars that are fast are still fast, cars that aren't still aren't.
 
We haven't had a theme lately...and a lot of racer were racing in other series (probably why the 450pp club lost some steam).I dust off some old 450pp cars on the last nurburgring night...It was so much fun!!

I don't think this is useful in the private lobby (there's a gentlemen's agreement).
 
I've been busy with school. I would attend more but it started a little late for me and i was only getting 2-3 races in a night, without staying up too late :). It didn't help that everyone was doing race series :( i missed you guys hahaha
 
I thing the pp should be limited to 475. I have no good tunes for my 425-450 car. but have a great tune for my m3 where it can be competitive at 60% power on sport softs.
 
Everyone has a good tune for the M3.
 
any racing tonight?
 
fyi: Twitchie got his first win last night.
 
from what ive heard... the nsx still dominates at 500pp... soooooo....

OK

What do you propose ? What solution can you offer ? Just throw an idea out.
 
I say make it 470 w/SS and let people bring anything they like :)
 
Hey guys, mind if I come in and race with you guys tonight?
 
"Turn off mr? TURN OFF MR?? That's one small step for dabneyd and one leap towards Communism! Why dont you just freddy yourself into the hopes and dreams of our youth and take them as well! Turn off MR....why I never heard such a thing. It sounds to me like one too many crazy pills was taken this evening. Oh look, I found some right here. Now then, lets see who prescribed these."

(fumbling with a pill bottle)

dx: 607.84
phy: Cujo, The m.d.

(Never knew there was a first name)

Take two pills monthly. If symptons persist turn off MR.

Personally, I dont see how turning off mr is going to turn on cure the guy, but there you have it, clear as day. Signed from doc Cujo himself. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm about to travel through space and time, I bid you adou.
 
Can i get a script for those?

Lets just make everyone drive the original Fiat 500 for the next month.

Make sure you pick a specific 500 because one of them may have super-duper magical Mario Kart powers.

One does actually, very competitive at 400pp... Mwahahahahahahahahahah
 
We racing tonight?

BTW, I'm available to host a lobby on Saturdays if you guys like.
 
I might be on. I just realized there is a track 15 minutes from my new house. I've been missing out on some great dirty shuffle racing.

This is called the Flagpole event. Drivers have to make a loop around a tire each lap. I will have to catch one of these events next year. Keep your eye on the lincoln. He gets spun on the first lap and makes it a point to ruin everyone's race after that. LOL, dirty shuffle FTW.

 
you're going to dirty shuffle with us one of these nights?
 
That's absolute madness! It'd be hilarious to do that with a bunch of 450 pp cars, and someone driving an old Fiat 500 as the tire...lol

I'll volunteer to be the Fiat driver!
 
Maybe i will make a kart track we can do this on...or try it on autumn mini or tsukuba.
 
need something wide so it doesn't get too bottle necked from people trying to turn around. That video looked like complete unorganized chaos until the 2nd or third lap hahaha
 
I stated this last week...Ill have 450 room open at 10 est if folks want tp join. will have different drivetrain restrictions for each race

Do it on Daytona with a "flagpole car" on the infield of the tri-oval. Then at some point of the race have the "flagpole" move to somewhere on the back straight.
 
Signing on in minutes...just running a little late. Wife freaked out because bee was in house...had to shoe it out before she'd be content with sleeping.

Room Up: 1472-6118-3615-5264-9257

Folks stop looking at the thread and get in here. We are here and we are waiting!

Geezer...stop looking at the thread and join up!
