In RB Jr it said the same thing and was 100 power 100 weight. I guess it's just so nobody adjusts power and weight when it comes to it

Using those settings, and the Sport Soft tires, I just did a 1:11 lap at Tsukuba in the Gordini. 5 of those laps would make an awfully short race, but I guess PD's into that, nowadays.

Next week's races are up
A: Gr.X - Tsukuba - 5 laps - Sports Soft
B: Gr.4 - Willow Springs Big Willow - 5 laps - Racing Hard
C: Gr.1 - Maggiore GP - 11 laps - Racing Soft & Medium - x5 fuel, x8 tyre wear

Interesting, I'm between A and C, depending on the cars.

The shorter the race, the more anxiety you put on ******* trying to win at any cost. I don't understand their logic on this.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

A and B for me then.

Looks like it's gonna be a livery creating week... .

 

[GT5Power]

Gr.1 @ Maggiore GP sounds awesome. Unfortunately I'm going on vacation on Tuesday morning. I'll see if I can do anything on Monday.

Side note: This combo was my first FIA race and I clearly remember it being 9 laps in FIA.

Ahhhh. Come play Big Willow with me!

Bring an AWD.

I'll be spamming that with the Get-Out-Of-Jail-FreEvo. I won't be quick, but I'll be more than fine going 'a bit wide'!

Tsukuba... Nope
Gr.1... Nope

 

[meekrab]

Hooray for Soft & Medium as opposed to Medium and Hard.

Live from PD Head office:

"Kazunori-Sama, we're seeing that MaxAttack's ps4 has died..."

"Good, good... Begin operation Willow-Springs-finally-in-the-dailies... And let's not have Suzuka, Fuji or Autopolis... Maybe something actually fun like... Gordini at Tsukuba? "

"Ah yes, Kazu-sama, that WOULD be fun... MaxAttack will be most displeased"

Sorry to hear about your PS4 mate but that post is priceless! Thanks for giving me a laugh on this stupidly hot day 👍

No worries, glad I could give you a chuckle.

i may be completely unable to play GTS but can't seem to drag myself away from this thread... It's so comfy

Daily Race C, Belarus was furious.
Did I do him dirty, or did he squeeze me out ?

Tsukuba... Nope
Gr.1... Nope

AWD will dominate turns 3 & 5.

I'm already on it. Testing the limits of the Huracan at Big Willow. 👍

What?? Gr1 @ Tsukuba?? That’s gonna be bumper car city!!

 

[iGriff85]

still aiming for a <52.499 time.

Yess! Q 52:452. Oddly I hadn't even twigged I was on a hot lap, just warming up before joining a lobby and BAM. I had to double take at the time and everything

(sorry for quoting myself)

 

[GT5Power]

What?? Gr1 @ Tsukuba?? That’s gonna be bumper car city!!

That would be cool, but he's talking about different races Tsukuba is race A which is a one-make, Gr.1 is at Maggiore in race C

 

[CTRL Garage]

I love GR.1, hmm I don't like Maggiore. I love Big Willow, hmm I don't like GR.4. Why do you tease me so much PD!
I remember GR.1 at Big Willow, that was fun!

You'll love gr.4 after it

Initial thoughts:

Race A - Gr.X at Tsukuba with Sport Soft tires for 5 laps - not a fast car. At first, I thought maybe the kart, but it can only be used with racing slicks. It will have to be one of the next low-powered cars in the Gr.X class. It definitely will be the Gordini or the BMW i3. Gordini is most likely. 👍

Race B - Hell yeah! Thanks for bringing Big Willow back to the dailies, @Hasnain282. I'll start getting my Lambo tuned up.

Race C - Gr.1 at Maggiore will probably be a hybrid-dominated race. I hate driving those things.

All in all, not bad. A & B are the ones for me.

Race C Peugeot for the long back straight?

 

[sturk0167]

The straights are so much shorter than LeMans, I don't believe there's enough distance to make up for the Hybrid acceleration. Go to Custom Race and give it a try against the mixed A.I. Gr.1 cars. 👍

Imagine driving the super formula at Maggiore.

Didn't help this guy.

That is GOLD.. FREAKING GOLD!!! I actually had to get up from my desk here at work and go full blown belly laugh in private.

I need to get around to making a decal for something closer to their actual packaging . .

I’m surprised to see Soft tires if it’s the Gordini, or any other low powered car. It seems to be the opposite of PD’s usually minimal grip mentality. I’d say it will be a car that spins easily if we’re getting Soft tires.

Will we have the next update before Monday? It could be a new car we don’t have yet if so.

It would need to be one of these Gr.X cars: https://www.kudosprime.com/gts/carlist.php?cartype=5
I can't see what else it would be. Maybe they'll put sport tires on a kart? Most of the cars on the list would do a 4 or 5 minute race.

Maybe it will be the new Mazda mx-5 TC car

Yeah you’re right, the Gordini is the only one on that list that’s slow enough for 5 laps of Tsukuba.

Maybe it will be the new Mazda mx-5 TC car

I was thinking that at first too, but it’s probably too fast for 5 laps of Tsukuba. I’m now leaning towards this car if we get the update before Monday.

 

[BjoBosUndies]

Next week is a good week for focusing on F1 2019!

I'll have a go on Sunday but my inexperience in Gr.1 will be more learning session than informative,

 

[MIE1992]

I honestly think the FF Gr.4 race at Nurburgring GP is quite fun, or at least certainly more so than the Swift one-make at the Nordschleife. For one thing, I enjoy not taking an eternity to set a decent time, especially when mistakes/restarts are taken into account. That applies to pretty much any race involving the Nordschliefe, Swift Sport or otherwise.

 

[Pigems]

I’m gonna do a few Race B’s, anyone else racing right now?

 

[JoeyLeonine]

What?? Gr1 @ Tsukuba?? That’s gonna be bumper car city!!

Would you actually get out of 1st gear??

Not racing any more this evening. Not sleeping either though.

11:15pm here. 31.5c so whats that? 89f in your money?! Not sleeping for a while! Plus theres a good storm rolling around too. So I'll watch. Make 'em good ones!

 

[sturk0167]

Yeah. I think I'll enter the next C race. Might not see you. I'm at SR A.

Cool, Good Luck!!

The first race was actually pretty fun. Started at the back in the Lambo and made it up a few places. Got bumped off in the final turn but he apologized and got a penalty so it’s all good. I’m gonna do B again. Trying the R8 next.
