Gran Turismo 5 Touge Club

[SohnVonStig]

Oh don't worry. With the progression of the club, you can expect to see some pretty fun classes form. I think tomorrow we should have a Stock Class meet. No goals. Just try to follow someone around the track and see where you stand with your car and such. I think it would be fun since we are all beginners right now

Sounds good

Meercat - your Miata vs. my Mr2

 

[JWalker841]

I got up the rules for the stock class in the OP. check it out. Keep in mind that those are prone to change. It's just so we have something to base our cars off of for now.

I'm thinking an FC or FD is gonna be my weapon of choice...or possibly an S2000. tho possibilities are endless on this game (:

 

[SPANK]

ill take a spoon civic, if i were competeing

 

[Meerly a cat]

Bring it on.

I'm sure you'll win. Better weight distribution.

 

[SohnVonStig]

Bring it on.

I'm sure you'll win. Better weight distribution.

I dunno, the mr2 never quite surpassed the miata IRL.

The beauty of it is that Driver Skill > Statistics in Touge

 

[Meerly a cat]

This is GT5. It's far from real life.

Well yeaaaah but my mr2 can't compete with a RUF, gauranteed

 

[JWalker841]

That is true..I forgot to put a HP cap for the Stock Class. What should it be? 200hp? 250?

 

[Meerly a cat]

250

 

[SPANK]

i cant even respond in this thread due to that fact i actually touge IRL. So i base everything on that. And GT5 fails to meet the RL standards.

 

[SohnVonStig]

250

+1, btw could we restrict it to just comfort tires? Sports tires provide so much lateral grip that sliding tends to slow you down Touge is so much more fun when sliding is necessary for speed

 

[Meerly a cat]

That's why it's in here.

 

[JWalker841]

@spank - I plan on doing touge and drifting in the future, but being 15 years old has its downfalls...

and yeah i was thinking of just doing comforts, but i figured everyone would run comfort softs and no one would drift. it's easier to drift street hards than stock softs, right? or am i horribly wrong? haha

 

[Meerly a cat]

No idea dude. I still hate this 2000 rule.

 

[SohnVonStig]

Nah comfort softs drift much easier than sport hards.

 

[SPANK]

no body uses all season performance tires for touge. which is what comfort soft relate to. I use falken azenis rt615's which would be sport hards on the game

 

[JWalker841]

yeah but like you said, GT5 is still far from real life. We'll start out with only Comforts and then if it isn't working, we can change the rules

 

[SohnVonStig]

Good point, but then we experience a slight issue with gt5 physics I'm cool with runnin sport hards I just wouldn't expect to see too much sideways motion. Of course, I'm drivin an mr2 so I'll be sideways no matter what tires I'm on

edit: coolio comforts

 

[JWalker841]

Perhaps we could make a drift touge class and a race touge class? that could be fun

 

[SohnVonStig]

Well even the drift touge would be a chase right?

 

[Meerly a cat]

It needs to be a drift touge...

 

[SohnVonStig]

It needs to be a drift touge...

Comforts should provide that.

 

[Meerly a cat]

Agreed. 👍

 

[JWalker841]

Yeah the drift touge would still be chase. Just on less-grade tires so the only way to go fast is to drift.

 

[SohnVonStig]

Still comforts only for now though right?

 

[JWalker841]

Yeah still only comforts. i think it will stay that way in the stock class because you only have 200hp anyways.

 

[sicbeing]

Im interested

PSN is cribanox

I'm EST -5

 

[Knight Spirit]

What time will the meet be tommorow? I'd like to come

 

[Meerly a cat]

You should organise different meets to suit different timezones. 👍
