Apparently the PSN maintenance has been extended to tomorrow morning. Hopefully they finish it off before our test races.

I've done some driving with it. It feels pretty similar to the S2000 LM.

Yeah I've literally logged in twice in the past 3 hours!
 
I can't get online with my normal account but I can sign in with my GTP account.
Very strange
 
Wish I could be there today, but got to head up Willow Springs in the Morning so I'll catch you guys for Round 1! :sly:👍
 
if there is no room in the first room someone can take my spot as i might be running a little late
 
Ok Joe, I hope to have the main thread posted in the racing series thread early next week.

@ Dan : I think it will be ok , We may only have 16 or less. There is always someone who can't make it.
 
Twisted, if there are any cars you yet need sent - send me friend req. with the list of what you need (in order you would prefer)

erm, I can't sign in as well... sony maintenance


...ON now, if there's any need ;)

Going to buy my car now and break it in if I have to.

See you guys tonight.
 
I am going to try some different cars tonight, hopefully cars others are not using.

Honda Spoon should now have 499PP at 325hp and 20/30. Then I also plan to use the Gayara '03 and the Subaru '03.

Seeyou later guys
 
Also I can manage to get 325 BHP but the PP is one short of the reg. Is this fine just to race like that with the engine on 99.9?

Also, UTC 9 is 8 British time or UTC the same as British time?
 
Should be able to make it today. Ya


Also Twist, I'll send the S2000 LM in a bit.
 
@PhaedrusSocrate I will add you once I get on my ps3, if possible I could do with the s2000 Race Car. I think Ren is sending me the Altezza and Jeff the s2000 LM Race Car.

@Johan do you know the power limiter % to meet the 499pp and 325hp?

@Trusefusker Thanks for letting us know. I will try and catch up with you during the week 👍

@xStretch- UTC is the same as British time until the clocks change in the spring.
Is your car not run in? It will be fine for tonight. Which car are you using?

@Jeff glad you can make it , 👍 cheers for the car.

I will be opening a room at about 20:00 UTC. It looks like we will have 16 if everyone shows.
 
Using the Subaru

I did run it in but I think its just a error with the PP's. The update messed things up

Turn that stupid false start Crap off. Twice I've been screwed. I'm done for the day. Ticked off now.

99.9% of races I've been in that is never on. What's the point of it anyway, why use something so stupid when it ruins people's races.

As well the room is leggy. I've DC'd side monitors twice. Now after reset they are glitchy. This happens only in room that is unstable. I've got a really good connection too. When making rooms the thing always says Very High.

Done griping but that false start has me red.

Sorry, False start turned off now. I will be happy for you to host next time if you like?
 
Sorry guys, I totally forgot about this today. :(
 
Well, I'll start by saying I don't feel I'm qualified to say much about the specs you've chosen to use. The S2000LM is fairly stable and usually predictable with over & under steer. I left the tranny way to short for Fuji and was hitting the rev limiter even when not under draft. Since I rely on others to help me tune my cars I think I'm gonna blame him ;). In all honesty however, in another's hands, I think this is a good all around car and once you get the suspension and LSD set up it will just be a matter of setting the tranny for the track to make it competitive. The Altezza was/is an understeering pig and if anyone picks it to use I will be surprised and astounded if they can make it competitive with the NSXs and drivers in this series.

np, they all said you'll be forgiven if you make us nice set-ups (especially mine):dopey:👍
 
Ran the Lexus for all 3 races and it seems to be on point. Has its cons of being slightly slower in the straights but makes up for it in the corners easily. Had some very nice battles tonight. From what I've found out is that all cars (cant say for MR2) seem to be balanced as I had a few battles with a variety of car choices, with none of them really steaming ahead.
 
I used mainly the spoon s2000 and the mr2 . The mr2 needs to be looked at again , I think jt might need some more hp .

Sorry i was back and forth , bit distracted tonight.

Looks to be a great series in the making , lets just get the specs sorted but its almost there by the looks of it tonight
