Gamesta's Super GT GT500 Season 3 Congrats to DragonGT83

[Gamesta666]

That was a tough race but one of my favourites of last season even with spinning out and having to change my pit strategy mid race I am sure it would be a lot different ending to last Season if both you and Biffy had been there for whole season if I remember you both came into the season 2nd or 3rd race in.

loool yeah...I had front left bumper damage and had to soldier on for 6 laps...

I first raced in Nurb GP and I threw a 2nd place finish as I was on my on my own for an hour...1st in monza and 2nd in Sarthe...

What a hell is going on with my lexus? Just drove 2 Nurburgring 24h laps in online mode and still garage shows my 175.8 miles? Why the miles is not growing up? :-/

If your in the lounge you must race against someone. Send it to b spec.

 

[karolinho]

Thank you ;-) By the way, chassis reinforcement is available or not?

 

[TJC_69]

@karolinho

Another good way to grind it up is in the Super GT seasonal .
Plus you get 500,000 credits and your prize at the end of the race .
Doesn't take that long either.

👍

Gamesta has allowed it yes.

 

[Gamesta666]

Yes Chassis Reinforcement is allowed. Also don't forget to give the car an oil change after every race.

Got a replay of the first 15 mins of the Suzuka practice race online:

​

I have a 15 minute limit on youtube so couldn't get the entire race and didn't have time to edit... will probably put a little more effort into replays of the real races, but I'd rather be racing than editing

Anyway, just an example so you can see quality, etc... You can select 720p if you click video and launch youtube.

 

[TJC_69]

Awesome video WRP001 !👍

Good battles throughout the field too.
Looking forward to seeing more of these.

 

[Gamesta666]

Great Video WRP001!! I am glad you captured that battle Hydro and myself had it was a lot of fun.

 

[DragonGT83]

great video, made too many mistakes i wasn't happy about.

Thanks for showing my mistake on lap 5 :lol great video mate...

Didn't put too much thought into what I was selecting really. Just tried to get everyone a little air time and then focused on people who seemed to be close on the track.

The way GT5 replays can't rewind and fast forward doesn't make it any easier. Would be nice otherwise to show the same pass from a couple different angles, etc... but the replay system is just too crippled.

If you put enough time in you could record multiple angles and edit them together on PC, but I'm not in this for the videos!

Its even more cripled due to being unable to upload directly to youtube...

For sure... although if that option did exist it would probably be pretty low quality/resolution I'm guessing.

Next time if you want more time in the video don't run out front so far and I did manage to miss your encounter with the bridge wall at Suzuka.

And purposefully missed my own spin on the S-curves. Practice a lot for the race and do that with cold tires on lap 1?

Is bluesix / Remy_K really on the waiting list for this series? So much for "beginners, novice, and amateur"

Great Video WRP001!! I am glad you captured that battle Hydro and myself had it was a lot of fun.

That was really cool!
Thanks for the vid Tim 👍

Gamesta: at 7:30--- that was the fastest I've thrown a car into full reverse!!
I can't believe we managed to escape without any damge/contact

I noticed that
Figured it was a denial issue

I was impressed you guys didn't have a head on collisions there!

I actually didn't mean to edit out my spin and was trying to set up the reverse view from KK's car as it looks cool watching everyone else snake up the S-curves in pursuit and that view had a decent shot of my spin... but the replay was just responding so slowly to my "clicks"... and I wasn't going to start over just to watch myself crash.

Sorry for my stupidity but has Gamestaa declared when the season starts?
Cant wait to race...

Lol , yeah , we all like some good competition.

I've been posting the same Fuji GT times as most people on the thread , ( give or take a tenth ) . I'm not pro but i'm not slow I guess.

I am a Nurburgring specialist though , my strongest track in the series.

wrp and killa you guys are in lounge now ?
wanna go practice ?

 

[TJC_69]

Both kk. Driven 1000's of laps around them....... I'm a Nurburgring addict lol

Got family over...playing fifa...soz

lol TJC

No, unfortunately I'm at work... although I find a few minutes to sneak a peak at the threads I'm not sure firing up a PS3 would go over really well I'll practice usually in the evenings after 8:30 PM PST. Although tonight I'm hosting another race series so won't be running GT500 even if I'm in my lounge.

Once we are in the regular season I'll probably be more regular about dedicated practice time for each track and post when my lounge is open, but for now I'm juggling my GT5 time between this series, 3D3 Racing events and WRS offline time trials. I'm thinking about a regular slot on Thursday nights from 8:30 PM - 10:00 PM PST for GT500 practice starting next week with Fuji. If we get a few people to host at various fairly regular times there should be time for everyone to get in at least a little group practice every week to augment their solo practices.

I did practice for about 30 minutes last night solo at Indy. First time I've really run that track (outside of one or two A-spec events) and getting 1'29.0XX on fresh warm tires for my best laps and slipping about a second a lap with tire wear. Track seems a lot easier than Fuji, Suzuka or GP/F as it's flat as a pancake for the entire infield. I ran daytona for about 5 laps so don't have much to report there.

Can't say I'm too fond of those two road courses versus some of the other options (GVS, Tokyo, etc), but it's good to try all the tracks the game has to offer.

Question for Gamsta: There are several variations for La Sarthe:

Circuit de la Sarthe
Circuit de la Sarthe 2009 (Time / Weather)
Circuit de la Sarthe 2009 No Chicane
Circuit de la Sarthe 2005
Circuit de la Sarthe 2005 No Chicane​

I assume we are using the bolded one, but with no weather change?

we are using 2009 with time on and weather off...

 

[Gamesta666]

Sept 25th is the start date Remy_K is on the list but doesn't know when he can actually participate in the series but will most likly join in on test sessions. Its the 2009 with Chicane and Weather off Time However will be on it is one of the two tracks where we will race in Day and Night.
