You dpr guys are aware you can use different cars in a team right ?

This. Clearly stated in OP.

rolo what If I'm late and there is still space, can I join? :guilty:

No Pre-Q in the usual sense - nobody is going home, it's just a test.

If you're not one of the first 16 to join the lounge then I can't accommodate you I'm afraid.
 
yeah aware skeng mate. i would have worked on nissan myself. but they wanted a hyundai team. i offered to run independent and let hurley score for DPR as a hyundai team, but they wouldn't accept that.
 
Both myself and Rolo have been disconnected... God damn it...
Rolo: Do you get a Championship point for starting the race, or do you have to finish it?
 
Rolo - 5 lap race at Tokyo please. At least we then get some results and bonus points.

I'll award a point for everyone that started that. Only fair.

Mass DC of the lobby

Shocked at that, thought it was just me. lozza started to lag out of the last corner, and then into Turn 1 I went. No idea why.

Points will be awarded, as above.
 
in 👍


edit: the track doesn't load so I leave room, re-enter room and it's all good until the game freezes in the garage :banghead: and a triple beep shutdown :banghead: now system check :banghead:

go on without me :(

In all honesty, loosing the love for GT that I once had... Which is actually very disappointing...
 
So, what have we learnt?

That the Peugeot is very good...
The Mercedes and Jagggggggggggggg are surprising...
The Ford is slower than my Diesel powered van...
PD Servers have got worse...

Ford isn't slow mate, can whack it around Tokyo in low 52s just needs a careful hand/foot

Peugeot is good on Tokyo and Indy, tracks with long straights. Did some testing on brands hatch Indy circuit the other day and it was nowhere near the rwd's!
 
Right, testing evening (in more ways that one)..

Firstly, thanks for helping with the Pre-Q sim. Very helpful there. To all who weren't present, when the 8-minute Pre-Q session (which begins at 6.45pm UK time) ends, a 1-lap race will begin. Do NOT drive or leave the line. When results are noted, you will be told to quit the race. Non-qualifiers must leave the lounge. No need to repeat the sim next week since it's been done once and more or less everyone who needs to know about it knows (including stewards).

Secondly, shame about the Tokyo mass DC. Race was shaping up very nicely. The little race after shows it was just a one-off hopefully. Apparently some pit lag issues though? As said earlier, everyone who started the original race will get a point.

Thirdly, Indy race was interesting. The Renaults and Peugeots scampered off, more or less as expected for those circuits. Don't draw too many conclusions yet, although if it continues, something will be done. Renault in particular I think. It could be a car spec change, or I could introduce another more handling-based track instead to balance it. Driving standards could maybe do with a little improvement.

Fourthly, I'm scaling it back to 2 races a night for pre-season, which will put another week on it and will take the Nordschleife race away. Too many delays tonight and to be honest I think it's better not to rush through circuits and get some better quality data. Still don't know about my work schedule entirely yet, but still the possibility of delays. Will let you know as soon as I do.

Therefore next week will be Apricot Hill and Grand Valley Speedway. Laps/windows to be confirmed in the week.​

Ford isn't that slow at 1380, but I do honestly feel it could do with 10kg off just to assess it at that. 1370kg is now the Ford spec.

Nissan could get increased, the Tokyo pole time (if it wasn't draft) is just beyond fast compared to the rest.

I think everything else is alright so far...

yeah mate, I push to limits to get the occasional high 51 so to see a 51.2 i was like... Oh
 
As another point, getting quite concerned with the connections in the series. Too many DCs and too much lag going on.

Can I remind everyone to please clear caches before the races.

If people's connections can be pinned down as problematic then I may have no choice but to do what's best, which I don't really want to do... :indiff:

mine has improved a lot, I rarely dc or lag during races, just prior to them when others use net. Just hope that today was freak @Indianapolis, :/
