Ellis- Yes it will, I can guarantee that.
I will make mine as original as possible.

Tom- Good thinking, if rolling starts win

Well I think everybody was to blame really we just had no room to manuvoure, hence the crashes.

 

[berty1979]

We need to make more room for sure, we will get it right before the start.
I need to talk with my team mates to help me tune my docile Jag

 

[SkateNj]

To Team Ford- Do you guys want to have like 2 group practices a week or something in that manner so we can share tuning aspects and stuff and have great tunes overall?

 

[cgr-10]

Would just like to say, if the pre season is on the 9th i'm gonna have to pass. It's round of three of my Camaro series which runs Fridays.

 

[berty1979]

Its on the seventh, my mistake.

 

[cgr-10]

Its on the seventh, my mistake.

Ah, I thought it should have been on a Wednesday

EDIT: Wooooo 1000th post in just over 3 months of GTP'ing!

skate: Im up for practice as a team, cant really set certain days though as i work different days each week. Wouldnt know where to start setting up this car, only ever tweaked the FGT.

 

[berty1979]

Happy 1000th post 👍

smithaz- add skate to your friends list and message him whe you can test and tune. Its good working together as a team to get your cars right. Sometimes SM and I will use a different strategy too, all agreed beforehand.

Yea i know how to tune these things dont worry. I have trouble tuning FGT's and a bit of trouble driving them. But im great with these cars

 

[smithaz]

Looking forward to some group tuning sessions then. Never get the chance in FGT because everybody is so competetive! I see this new series as more team based, looks like we have some pretty even teams so constructors title could be anybodys.

 

[berty1979]

It should be great, there are strong contenders in every team. I will be interested to see who evolves into the number 1 driver for each team

 

[smithaz]

There is no favouritism in our team. All the drivers are treated equally.

 

[berty1979]

Thats very noble, I meant in terms of performance rather than priority

 

[smithaz]

I know, should be a good battle! I am better at 1 lap pace than race pace. Always make too many mistakes in races.

 

[DrifterJoe]

I'll link you to the 3 setups I found for the Jag and tell you which I'm using, though I've only tested one so far. My best lap at Grand Valley today was the same as Sakery's in the race, using that setup.

Would you want them in the thread or sent privately by PM?

 

[berty1979]

Smithaz- Well I havent seen you in your classic racer yet. I am pretty awful and find myself mid to back as the race goes on
The Jag boys will get together and sort the tuning out and we should have a shot!

Joe- Pm please mate, it feels weird putting them on the thread, maybe its the FGTC secrecy but doesnt feel right, thanks mate 👍

I had two bad spins from putting a wheel on the grass into the first corner, and had a couple of offs elsewhere, and still ended up 3rd just behind Tom. I got unlucky near the start where I got pushed off when we bunched up in a hairpin and I got dropped to last from second.

The setup seems better than the one you had in the race, as I was able to catch and pass you fairly quickly after I'd had one of my spins.

 

[berty1979]

Absolutley, I fell like the car could go much better! It cant ALL be my duff driving can it?
Setup would be great

 

[smithaz]

Well i will enjoy beating you more regularly Brett! I only just got my mark iv as had to grind online b-spec for another 10mil. So far done about 5 laps round GVE. It seems a good car to drive, handles well, but also a bit more of a handful than the high downforce cars im used to. Im not working next wednesday so should be around for the race

 

[DrifterJoe]

If the pre-season race is on the 7th, you may want to change the date in the thread title.

 

[smithaz]

Yea thats been confusing me aswell. Also iv just realised, wednesday is often poker night so might not be able to race that often. Il take it as it comes for now, maybe drop out if i cant make enough races, dont wanna let the team down.

 

[berty1979]

Smithaz- We will see (competitive streak coming out), I have a good tune now
I havent driven the Mk4 or chappy but the Ferrari and Jag handle well enough, I just wasnt fast enough today being 1 min behind the leader (not used to that!). I will be better when the mic's are off and the tune is right so watch out Are you racing sunday?

Joe- On it now! Cheers for the tune, I was using the offline one, duh!

 

[smithaz]

Ofcourse I'm racing sunday. Hoping to go well after last week.

Also how annoying is it that there is such a difference between online and offline physics and youd expect offline to be harder if anything! I say this cos of maintenance this morning i had to just do a few laps offline, but even after 10laps the car still has plenty of grip.

 

[berty1979]

Glad your racing with us, we have quite a scrap in the top 6 now 👍

It is annoying but I guess its something to do with the information being sent and recieved and all that jazz. I only race online now apart from seasonals (which strangely use offline physics) so its all good. I am struggling with tyre wear at Indy and I am not that fast so who knows!

Oh I have added some rules to the OP and changed the title to the correct date too 👍

 

[PIGBOY]

Ferrari now??.....i just collected a new 2D
edit: i just scrolled up and seen i am in a ferrari which isnt too bad despite my description of it feeling "woody",atleast its not tail so im

....and new 330 P4

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Nice PB..

 

[berty1979]

Yes I am afraid so bro, didnt you get the memo! Its a great car man.
I know you have one because you have all the cars

 

[PIGBOY]
