[Tom]

Forget the Aston cant get anywhere near the weight limit, just that Lotus if anyones got it stock??💡💡

Correction trying to make the premium Lotus Work.

Try the standard Lotus Elise Sport '99?

 

[Akmuq]

Try the standard Lotus Elise Sport '99?

V8 Challenge and it won't make the weight limit. The premium Esprit makes 559HP before breaking in so it might be in.

Still lots of testing to do and its way to early my fault got excited and blabbed lol.....Yes with a minor regulation tweek and prior to road/tyrewear test the old Esprit could well make S2.

 

[Culkin]

For Trial Mountain I am running a "special" paint job

 

[V8-Johnboy]

^ Ooooooo.

 

[cunny17]

Is it because your last paint job is still on Tokyo's walls..lol

Stu

 

[Furinkazen]

hahaha it's will be a special commemorative scheme

 

[UncleBoB]

Where do we stand on yellow- coloured stripey thingies on the road in that 2 corners? On or off limits?

 

[Akmuq]

You're allowed use them. Confirmed by Johnboy already.👍 Any times yet?

 

[cunny17]

it's all classed as track. So good to go over time and again

Stu

Too slooowww

 

[UncleBoB]

Cool i did a 1.23.1xx. Still could shave about half of second off, i think how about you guys?

 

[cunny17]

I'm a long way of that Bob. Think Johnboy is in 1.25's don't know any others.

Stu

Stu

Correct 125's eek 123's!!! Even if i cut the last corner i wouldnt hit that, oh well race pace is were it matters i spose.

 

[UncleBoB]

And I think i got the setup just right so i think i won't burn my tyres as I did on tokyo
Now I'm going for 1:22!!

 

[Akmuq]

Erm 1:24.734 Bob.

How does everyone's car feel on those bumps? Mine is not to bad so I should be consistent.

yeah you just need to figure out how to approach them, almost no tyre wasted I just can't figure out the corner before the tunnel

 

[Akmuq]

Which tunnel? The one on the long straight? I'm getting understeer through there most of the time so I can't really give advice.

 

[UncleBoB]

before the long back straight i can't find the line -.-

 

[Akmuq]

I can, but it seems the only two ways through are slow and hit the apex or fast and miss it completely but still have great exit speed.

Hey guys, just wondering if penalties are going to be on weak for this race as some people will probably end up cutting the final chicane?

They should be dealt with accordingly surely. I say cut it once and you'll get a warning, 2 times and you should be deducted a 1 point. That's one way of being strict and making sure no one dares to do it. Just my thoughts though. I dont think anyone here will do that seeing how everyone tries to be as honest as possible. 👍

 

[moeom]

Alright, im online at the moment. Its my day off and i got a hangover, so i dont see myself going out at the moment. Vegging out on GT5 today. lol

Dont worry Tom its in hand anyone found excessively cutting the final chicane will be given a time penalty a few of us save replays and watch them back so nobody will get away with it besides our group of lads from what ive seen are pretty much on the level so sure it wont be a problem.👍

What sort of time penalty? 5sec 10sec or point deduction?

The rules state points penalty will have to wait and see if and what the vialations are im banking on us not needing to bother not a route we want to go down mate unless someone really takes the piddle.
