Not sure if i can make it tonight...i will try..i'll keep u's posted.
 
Had a session with True blue and tried running less power. With a 30bhp reduction I could keep up with draft, without draft was more difficult and I estimate about a 7 or 8 tenths slower per lap, which is good going on a short track.

I think that we need to be looking at a +30bhp drop for the fastest cars, the original 24bhp isn't going to be enough. The cars are easier to handle at lower power, so with less power it's possible to be more consistent over the duration of a race and that's hugely important.

Didn't try the new slipstream option, I'll leave that for later tonight when we have more cars on track.

On a more personal note, I'm not running with the driving line anymore (always used it in GT5 even if I didn't rely on it) and I've turned the speed indicator off too as I didn't trust it. I have no idea what effect this will have once in traffic, hopefully my driving doesn't suffer as a result. Time will tell. :)

Thanks to Rolo for making me a steward for this season, I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully there won't be too many problems to deal with as we're all here for a good clean race.... I will be accepting bribes. Pm me with the details. Lol

Chamonix, anyone? :sly:

How about trialling 36hp, 30, 24, 18, 12? We'll have chance for another test session on January 2nd at somewhere like Fuji where the effect would be more pronounced.
 
Sounds good Rolo, I think that drop should be manageable, certainly on the slower tracks.

We need to either find the PP for each HP, or see whether or not we can 'check-in' using the HP.
 
Any idea of numbers?

My potential teammate is MIA :nervous:
 
Incidentally, what were people's lap times at Motegi? Need to know laps and pit for tonight.

I must admit to not having run at all yet!

No idea, hopefully 10 but I really don't know who's coming and who isn't except for you, MadBean, True and Street. Skeng, Ian and canyon will probably show too.
 
No worries, I guess who shows shows for the time being.

I've not ran online yet let alone the car! I'm hoping it feels the same as offline or I could be in even more trouble!
 
Yeah I'll be there...a bit tired from my last days work for Xmas. But yeah I'll be there
 
14 laps Rolo, around the 1:26 mark per lap.
 
It says there's 5 people in the lobby yet when I try to join it says it's full? :S
 
There are 16 spaces open so I'm not sure why that would be?

Anyone else having issues?
 
Just signed in ok, lobby was ranked 4/5 stars tho and the signal bar next to it was zero (no idea what that is for tho)
 
Doesn't look like ill be along tonight then, turned PS3 off, signed out, done everything, still can't join.

The moment I try to join it says the room is full, which obviously it isn't :banghead:
 
Well I can join everyone else's but yours :(
 
GT6 version of 'incompatibility with the server owner'?

I can stop being the host and see if that helps.
 
Great new update and ps3 locks up, ps3 restoring right now :nervous:
 
I hope not :p

Erm, no idea to be honest :(. Maybe if I try joining with the lobby code?
 
I looked everywhere for a room number and it proved fruitless.

There's a REALLY annoying bug where if you leave your own lounge you simply cannot find it again, so you always have to open a new server (with me as host so I know that won't help you...) :banghead:

I've had that same issue with one of the guys on my friends list. Whenever he host I get the room full error even though it clearly isn't. No idea what's causing it.
 
@skeg
Yeah mate, really enjoying GT at the mo so my break as been worth it.

Lots of new guys which is good for the series, but bad for me! Overall quality of the grid is higher than the last time I raced with you!
 
Well whatever you did Rolo it's worked! Thank you 👍
