^I don't expect you too know, since you only did Alfas with us

Nice hint thanks Suzuki cappuccino EDIT: I figured it out before the other posts.
I thought it was an ugly body kit on a S2000.
Something tell me that "wing" will never be used for anything other than something hang dry cleaning on.

What are you talking about? The chick car challenge totally fits the different cars/tracks theme that you're looking for!

Yes, yes, it does.

Reminds me of

I want it.

To add to my collection.
Yep, hello kitty: toaster, humidifier, pens, notepads, white board, plush doll, car window sticker, fridge magnets, clock, wristwatch, bath sponge, keychain, and something erm, that I can't mention here.

Hey guys (and gal), something has come up and I'm not going to be able to host anything tonight. Sorry for the short notice but I've been in a meeting regarding a possible business opportunity and it ran a lot longer than I thought. If somebody else wants to do the hosting duties, feel free. I was just going to run a couple back-to-back races at Suzuka, nothing special so anyone could run things if you want.

We'll try again Friday. 👍

I'm still interested if others want to meet up in the ORCA Champ lounge.

That's funny!!

Good time tonight. The NSX RM is by far my favorite car we've driven lately. It's like the MR version of the Alfa.

 

[SagarisGTB]

The NSX RM is one of my favourite cars to drive in the entire game. I had a spec race series write up for the car all written up back in December, but decided against posting it for various reasons; however, I would love to race the car with the ORCA crowd. The car has so much character but isn't difficult to drive and is predictable, sort of like the Alfa TZ2.

About tonight, enjoyed the racing. The 350Z at GVEII was especially fun taking on Carracer. The simplicity of that track seems to promote good racing every single time.

 

[Menown]

What parts are you guys running on the NSX RM? I have one but I just performed the RM and left it.

Just the parts that come with the RM, we were running under the "tuning prohibited" option as normal and putting it on SS tires.

At the stock HP level on Sport Soft tires it is a brilliant car.
The braking power is extremely good compared to other cars.

Is the the NSX LM in the UCD or a NSX from the premium dealership that's been RM'd?

It's the NSX RM, not LM. Purchase the Acura NSX from the new car dealership, take it to GT Auto and do the Race Modification. Leave all the settings at default for "tuning prohibited" racing.

 

[RDAardvark]

I should be on tonight around 8pm GMT for some raking about Suzuka in the NSX or 350z.
When I'm on I'll post here: I'll be in the ORCA_Champ lounge unless anyone has other plans for it this evening.

I'll surely be around tonight. Will pop in and run some.

Pick the NSX, 350z feels a little underpowered and over grippy on SM tires at this track. I should be around.

Orca_champ lounge is now open.
Come on down!

We are racing today early?

I'm just online early. On a race night, I'd normally open the lounge at this time for practice.

We're going to try moving the Tuesday GMT slot to Wednesday so it doesn't interfere with the Tuesday night race. We think having 2 races on the same day ended up having a negative effect on both races so we're just going to move the one a day later.

I'll be home from work in about an hour, I'll try to hop in for a little bit if you guys are still in the lounge. Won't be able to stay more than about an hour though.

 

[bdubclub]

Hey guys, been a bit busy with work lately, so I havent been around much. Looks like we are running the NSX RM (love that car) and the Gran Turismo 350z. Still the same times Friday and Saturday?

 

[TrackBound7]

To be clear, the Z and NSX are just test mules this week. Not a formal series. Although either car could end up as a selected car for a weekly series at some point down the road. A handful of us had been playing around with some ideas and those 2 cars came up and have been popular. Not to speak for Brandon, but I am pretty sure they will both find their way into the weekly club theme Brandon has mentioned.

 

[BrandonW77]

You are correct TB7, just experimenting now but the NSX RM will likely be in the first month's line up.

 

[TrackBound7]

I should be on around 8est if anyone wants to race something and fool around like immature grown adults

 

[CC570]

Sounds like fun. Wish I could get on

 

[watermelon punch]

If you want something with lots of pitch and roll, try the SambaBus, especially from cockpit view. As Brandon found on Saturday, when you brake, you really do feel as though you are going to smash your face into the windscreen.

^ Yes, I got a bit of a bloody nose after a bit of very heavy braking in the Samba Bus.

Well, I tried this, and thanks for the recommendation. 👍
I bought a samba bus (hadn't had one before imagine that!)... maxed it out with every conceivable hp/weight upgrade (over 200hp I think??), & the drivetrain flywheels & such.
I stuck a height adjustable sports kit on it, and tinkered a bit. Messed with the transmission a tad.
Put it on comfort soft (just in case).

Then I took it on:

"single race" mode (choice when you bring up courses in the creator course list)...
I did as well as 3rd place, after about 3 tries.
I think I could have gotten 1st place eventually, but I was caught in the act, and given the seriously hairy eyeball.
