Just a comment on the qualy times, I think I set the fastest overall time, then I quit to pits for more tyres and lost my spot, so I got back up to 3rd I think it was, but I was starting from 7th on the grid, anyone else get a seemingly random grid spot? I'm not bothered really, just curious lol
 
I thought i noticed that in the test sessions so if Mindless you set the fastest time you got the pole point I will add it to the points total.
 
I was hit in the back at the 2cond turn and had to go to pits lost 1 lap at the beganing , then you guys were lost, I did what I can , sorry for the bad
 
I noticed that too about the qualifying change. I was right behind Gamesta and I quit out to change my gearing with about 5 minutes before he started the race. Took 3 laps around the track was back behind Gamesta but I started out 11th overall and was wondering wtf happened?
 
Good pics there Gamesta, and thanks for the great battle.
Go team Castrol! :)
 
EDIT: hey gamesta, since I'm just starting next week, would I stick with the yellowhat supra, or should I use the denso car I have? I have the supra and sc430. Then team denso would have 2 people as well

The Race is only a few days away. I just want to go over some points for Sunday.

-1st Corner I will be looking at the first corner very closely and will be handing out stiff penalties for any one failing to break or breaking late and causing a collison.

-Track lines are important if you are more than 2 wheels off the track it is concidered cutting the corner so if you are using run off area's as a way to maintain speed I will be issuing penalties.

First and foremost I want the series to be fun for everyone so if we take it easy into corner 1 I think we will have a race that is a lot more fun and interesting.


Tonight I will be having a test session I will post the room number when it is open.
 
Good to hear that Gamesta

I know this series is to help new people compete but as was evident by the last and the past few test session races the first corner doesn't determine who is going to win by slamming into someone ahead of you. I should be on the for the test session tonight.
 
Sorry I wasnt able to make it I ended up with bronchitis. Was looking forward to it! I wont be able to make it this weekend. That I know of But I will try my hardest and let you guys know asap!
 
I have My Lounge Setup for a test session I will be running 3 lap races every so often to get used to the start and running in traffic.

Stopped in for the practice and it was good initially. The only thing is, damage is on in the practice, and I thought it would be better to turn it off. I know I can run practice on my own but it feels good to practice with the group.
 
I keep damage on to simulate the race as much as possible during testing so I can see how I react and teh car reacts to damge in case it happens and to practice go into and out of the pits. Buyt for tonight's test session only I will have no damage on for practice but will turn it back on for any races we may or may not do.
 
I have a Practice Session open Right Now in My Lounge if you want to get some practice in before The race tomorrow this is the time to do it. I have Damge Set to Off for this session so people can learn the track without the worry of being damaged.
 
I am going to be doing some more testing for the race tomorrow in my lounge all are welcome to come and test.
 
I have opened the Race Room in My Lounge Free Practice and Qualification etc See you on the Track!

Really sorry that jasonpooley and I haven't made it. We're both working at Brands Hatch and couldn't get back in time. I'm now in Vegas next week too so it's going a bit t!ts up for me. Keep me on a reserve list - would love to join in if there's space when I'm back.
 
This isn't ment to be at everyone, but a few people are seeing to ruin this experience. Today at the start of the race we had technical difficulties and had to restart. For Slyakafox I have pictures of what I was seeing.

Your RPMs appear to be around 12k( I know it is lag induced)

But after we had the rush the restart and unfortunatly Sly was restarting his network and missed it. We had a few comments made about the people in the back and to me that isn't right when the commenter quit at lap2. This is suppose to be a new experience for people. Just because we can't keep up with the more seasoned people doesn't give you the right to insult us.

Sorry if this doesn't belong here but it gets tiring dealing with children.
 
After Watching the Replay of Suzuka I noticed that a lot of the drivers Today had a Turbo installed on their Naturally Aspirated Engines. As one of the Rules of this Series that you are not to Upgrade any of the cars. This is a direct violation of the rule. I will be doing more research into my findings to solidify but the test I have run to see are conclusive. As I there may be confusion in my Original Post of the rule ( I have updated the op with a clear representation of the rule) I am giving the benefit of the doubt and not issuing any penalties. There will be Penalties issued for this if there are any upgrades on cars for next week so please remove any upgrades on you car if you have installed any.

During the Fuji race I noticed a few cars that had much better acceleration than mine, even though I own those cars and I know they are very equal. I did some testing with gear ratios and still nothing. So then I added some performance upgrades, and used the power limiter to put it back to 502, and bam, huge difference. So yes, I had upgrades this week and made a huge difference.

I agree, none of the cars should be allowed to have upgrades. But how can it be monitored? Because people will lie about it.
 
Turbos/engine upgrades are easy to spot by just looking at the turbo guage/12 k rev guages.

My suggestion: the organizer tests all cars in it's stock form when downgraded to 502 hp. Write down the PP value. When cars go to track, just start with the lowest PP and raise it until all cars are on track. In this way, even if the hp is 502 but an illegal mod is used, the PP will increase due to higher torque. In this way, the modded car won't be able to join in to the race even if the hp is legal, but the tourque curv is not.
 
If a Turbo is installed it shows up on the hud. That is the problem we will have to go by trust. I appreciate your honesty Niop. I am currently trying to figure out a way to see if upgrades of any kind are installed. I hope next week will turn out better

I am going to try this thanks
 
All cars will end up with different PP even if they run the same HP and weight. So don't be alarmed if the PP's are different. The PP is not a good indicator how fast a car is. Just try all cars as you want them to run, and write down the PP for each model when set to 502 HP.

Only thing you can't police (as long as we discuss GT500's) is the ridgity improvement, but it does'nt really matter since it won't make any difference on these cars. So cheating with this is just silly and stupid. Or just allow it...
 
The only problem with a PP limit is that the downforce affects it. Say the PP for a car with max downforce is 600, someone could just take off some downforce to make their PP limit. Or they can use the Engine limiter to take the power to 490HP, and they would still out accelerate the 502HP honest car.
