CLASSIC RACING - Sundays 17:00-19:00 BST - CONGRATULATIONS CHAMPIONS Flaco & Lex LathorFinished

That means that you were in a different race to the one I was in with 4 other drivers! Perhaps we should have a separate points table - Only kidding Sick. :P

Hi Rolo - What definitely is a bit of a joke is GT6's online connectivity problems. Got any tips from your experience?

Not massively knowledgeable about it to be honest but my best advice would be, if you're having problems, to use a wired connection or upgrade your router or something.

What an sad way to finish the championship.... But anyways, we're on just 1st round, so we still have time to fight for the championship! 18 Rounds left!

Very sorry to hear you had a problem Harsk - as you say, this was Season One of Four so you can still win the other three seasons and also the "Champion of Champions" at the end of round 24.

Anyone else who wants to race - we have had some dropouts so we have spaces for people to join us for season two which starts next Sunday 27th April at 17:00 BST - if you want to race send an FR to Sick_Cylinder

Next round, Madrid, we change cars:

1. One make championship car is Lamborghini LP400 1974 Weight, BHP etc to be confirmed.
2. If you haven't already done so please let me know which World Classic car you will be using for the next three rounds
2. If you were using Art Morrison Corvette please switch back to Cobra, If you were using Cobra please switch back to Art Morrison Corvette
 
Sick, as I said via PM I will be using the Toyota/Ferrari for next rounds. I had tested the Toyota today and found it, well - slow... but despite its lack in power it's perfoming quite acceptable, so I want to spare me the 7.5mil Cr for the Ferrari, since first: I don´t even know if that (expensive) machine is any better. And second, call me nuts but I just can´t get my head around driving both a Ferrari and a Lamborghini in the same Championship/Day. It somehow just feels wrong. :lol:

So the 2000GT should remain with its original wheels and colour, which is called 'Thunder Silver'. And the gorgeous Lambo Countach would be nice to stay in its 'Rosso Siviglia' original red, should the colour(s) be already taken by another driver, consider Yellow as the substitute. Haven´t thought about rims on the LP400 yet, so the ones it comes with will probably stay where they are.

Cobra is still the Military-Grey one.

Slainte.

Edit: I just realized you wanted the Toyota to be red... I will paint it red. :)

What are the specs for the One Make Countach? And another thing: How many laps for Round 7?

It's certainly not 7,340,000cr better! I had one (never raced) but the 200kg to bring it to spec bogged it down somewhat and upset the suspension. Nice car but expensive to run though. Mine requires a 500000cr chassis refit!

Please no wings on cars unless they are a standard fitting on the car.

The one make car for rounds 7-9 is the Lamborghini LP400 1974 - I will let you know the spec and laps tomorrow.

Re the Ferrari - there will be another chance to use the 250 GT in a future championship, so you will be able to get value from the car if you buy one. Tip - do the Red Bull Standard Car championship to earn 2.25m credits every 25 minutes.

Above Birdseed made good starts in all the races - here his Shelby GT350 starts to pass If Corvette and Sick Toyota. Below Lex was in great form winning all three races - here his Mercedes 300SL already has a healthy lead.

I've done some painting:

BMW 507 '57: Bridgewater Bronze, Wire spoke rims;

Lambo Countach LP400 '74: Verde Countach

Morrison Vette: Opalescent Gunmetal, wire spoke (same as before).
 
No wings If - that look might be alright for Rod Stewart, but not for our room please.

Incidentally the optional wing on the Countach created so much extra drag that Motor magazine reckoned it cut 20mph off the top speed!


Can all drivers please ensure that wheels are age appropriate or finished in an age appropriate colour - there were some photos that I couldn't publish this week because they featured lairy (bright coloured) wheels.


Round 7 - Madrid 12 Laps - Sunday 27th April 17:00 BST​

We will be driving the Lamborghini last for the next three rounds because it's handling and corner speed are very different to the other classic cars - therefore the programme will be:

1. World Classic Cars - 1160kg 315bhp

2. Cobra v Art Morrison Corvette - 1240kg 453bhp

3. Lamborghini Countach LP400 1974 - Tuning Prohibited

Cost 216,600 Credits, Standard wheels, Standard Colour

Standard Lamborghini Colours:

Bianco Labrador - White
Argento Luna - Silver
Nero Tenebre - Black
Rosso Siviglia - Red
Arancio - Orange
Giallo Sole - Yellow
Verde Countach - Green

NB If you have already painted your Lamborghini another colour, to save buying another one please respray in a similar colour e.g. white, silver, black, red, orange, yellow etc.

PS - Don't forget to change cars - you will be using these cars for rounds 7-9. I will edit this thread later to list the cars chosen so far.


PPS - Helmets and Special Outfits
Zulu has been using an open face helmet and black overalls which are listed in the special outfits (cost 50,000 credits) - this is a good idea as this outfit looks more appropriate for the type of cars we are using. There are also several open face helmets with outfits (cost 100,000) which you can use to give your driver a more authentic look. (It would be nice if we could have a range of old school outfits as suggested in the features section - I will add the link later so that you can add your vote. Hopefully PD will give us a range including Carol Shelby's Chicken Farmer, striped dungarees, Gentleman Jack Sears shirt and tie as well as the traditional white overalls - obviously all with Open Face helmets and goggles or two sets of goggles - no tear offs in those days!)

You've worn me down, I give in. :boggled:

New less flamboyant colour schemes with toned down wheels. Oh and a wingless Countach.

Countach - Tuning Prohibited. Yea. 👍
Are you leaving it on it's standard tyres - sport hard? Doesn't seem to bad on them. Quite realistic actually.


I've got to go and take a look at my dress code now... Top hat and tails okay? :sly:
