FRL (Furi's Race Leagues): Phase #1 On PS3 2011-2015... Phase 2 Incoming...

[Furinkazen]

Unlocked online, still refusing to spend money, haven't even needed to use one of the prize cars, except for the Kart championship. The mighty Fit conquers all! 7 championships in, 17,000 spent. 440,000 Cr. Total

Oh, and my online name is L.Connelly, although the Irish flag would have narrowed it down anyway.

Done any special events?

 

[Akmuq]

Done any special events?

Yup, 4 Goodwoods, a Lunar mission, and the M4 and Fit seasonals.

I'd be interested in the clio cup @Furinkazen just whether time would suit

Around an hour to hour and a half before the old ITCC friday timeslot.

 

[ranhammerR34]

Hmmm, I like the idea of a Clio Cup

@raceorama123432 HEY!!!!! Welcome back man! Glad everything is okay!

Around an hour to hour and a half before the old ITCC friday timeslot.

You mentioned it, not me.


Just pointing it out, I love how simple it is to use each other's timeslots as reference.

 

[Furinkazen]

Patch 1.02 is live. 20 million glitch is no more. BUT:

In online room options, slipstream strength has three options: Strong, Weak, Real.
Was "real" already there before 1.02?

Oh yes. REAL DRAFT option now, plus log in bonus and increased A Spec payouts

You don't do subtlety very well. If you're gonna plug your series there are probably better ways to do it.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Log in bonus!


@Rossingt0n, you have killed my joy, Mr. Killjoy. and who's to say that I won't try my hand at ToCA again?

Timeslot?

Anyone of you got this?

@FlyingFox - answers your GT Academy question, check this post.

Also:

RA function is back for DS3

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Doesn't ToCA still start an hour earlier than ITCC? Sure, I would have to leave early, but...

 

[R0ssingt0n]

I'm just glad our PSN ID's show up online again. Having our own names would have caused so much confusion once racing gets going again...

 

[Furinkazen]

Quail 7.15 to 7.45. Race 1 8pm.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Quail 7.15 to 7.45. Race 1 8pm.

Then I'll qualify for my first round and promptly leave!

 

[Furinkazen]

Then I'll qualify for my first round and promptly leave!

Which will garner you nothing

 

[raceorama123432]

@chrisjohnson93 @FlyingFox @ranhammerR34 Glad to be back guys

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Exactly... Except the opportunity to stay and chat about how you can consider your sign-ups open without even announcing which cars you're using.

Seriously.

 

[DrifterJoe]

A couple of things not mentioned in here yet- adding custom rims makes all your tyres the same width. So, a car with larger rear tyres than fronts would have 4 same-sized tyres after adding custom rims, and this does affect performance.

The other thing is a tyre wear bug, where for your first set of tyres in a race, rear tyres have more grip and last longer. When you pit for new tyres all following sets have less rear grip and the rears wear quicker.

Seriously. This is the club / general discussion topic. The specific threads come later. The topic is "Open" because we are Open to members. I have also announced the manufacturers, the cars themselves have had specs sent away for final testing. Also how does

Then I'll qualify for my first round and promptly leave!

which does garner you nothing, have anything to with your next post.

Just pointing out you don't make sense.

Would this affect races in a sequence? So for instance in ToCA when there are no pit stops, Race 1 be more grippy, Race 2 onwards the less grip?

^^^ That convo myself you (Furi) and Toad Leader proves why i stay away huh.

@ Joe rim size effects performance? Wow didn't know that how stupid is that.

Rim size... really...

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Rim size... really...

But rim size does affect performance.

 

[Furinkazen]

But rim size does affect performance.

Thought just tyre width would?

 

[V8-Johnboy]

But rim size does affect performance.

Im told its best to stick with stock rims for now which is a bit of a shame

@ Ford yes i thought the same as Furi my bad.

The tyre wear bug was before the patch, has it been fixed?

I'd imagine 'Real' slipstream is when GT5 had huge amounts of dirty air on Low setting, the draft could be broken at Motegi in Trucks etc...

Although I'd love if the 1.5 second draft range is lowered.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Thought just tyre width would?

Depends, a larger wheel is heavier so would affect acceleration and depending on whether the tyre diameter is any larger or not, the sidewall could be made much small. Which, of course, drastically changes handling.

What all that in a game?

 

[DrifterJoe]

Rim size... really...

I may not have been clear enough on this. It only affects performance on cars that have different tyre widths (such as being wider at the back). The custom rims come with 4 tyres of the same size, which gives different performance to the differently sized normal tyres.

[V8-Johnboy]

Will stick with stock for now to be safe Thanks Joe.

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I'm just saying that it has an effect in real life.
