Just to clarify what monkeywall said.

No turbos allowed. If you can't reach the 360 PS power limit, stage 3 tuning is available for use.

@rallymorten have you tried placing your ps in your routers DMZ, a simple search online will tell you how. I found it helped with stability.

I would, but I know the people I live with well enough to know that any form of internet trickery isn't going to happen. Heck, it took nearly a full year of persuation to get a cable to my room.

Edit: I might not take part in the series but just be the pace car for every race. I will make my decision yomorrow, depending on the numbers.

So far, I'd say you should definitely go racing. The numbers *do* allow for a safety car, but look at it this way: in the dying weeks of GT6, you, with no "backing" from any of the big cartels organisations, have managed to put together a thus-far relatively active series with a more than acceptable number of entries. If anyone should be enjoying the racing aspects of that, it should be you.

So yes, I will volunteer and have both safety cars on standby should you decide one is needed.
 
I thought of doing live race stewarding (like F1 but more reliable) but yeah, this is the second to last GT6 series I am doing brcause GT Sport is coming.
 
Got some college work that I have to do for this weekend, but shouldn't get in the way for the race tomorow, COUNT ME IN!!
 
I don't know if I can participate on Round 1 today, as I might have to go out with my parents. If I appear is because I can. If I can't appear is because I can't attend Round 1. However, if I don't attend Round 1, I'll be attending the next round.

My car is ready by the way. 👍

Nice race guys

A little question for @Antares26 what way have you set up your trans. After you all left i reset my trans to default then final to 5.000 then max to min etc, done another 5 laps and was. 3 faster than the time @Jomas set
 
It was just a tune I slapped on last minute. Flipped the gears and tried to adjust a bit. Not the quickest so you may have found a more optimal setup.
 
I am unable to practise until Monday. I have almost no free time on weekends.

Not the field I was expecting yesterday but awesome race nonetheless.
 
It was a great race. I am glad I didn't hit @CrazyJohn at the hairpin, braking on the grass is never a good idea.

Now it is time for Motegi, where I am less confident than Suzuka. I may be practicing tomorrow during the afternoon (~2/3PM UK Time), but today I can't.
 
We weren't close during the race so when are you talking about?
 
I think it was one lap or two after the first restart

Edit : It was in the 13th lap

Got some spare time practice room open for about a hour and a half

Edit: room closed pb 1.51.973 rm and next week's spec's. Have a feeling i should be aiming for low 51's or high 50's

I'll try to be there Monday

I just came back at home and I opened a practice room. I don't know how much time I will stay.

Edit : Room closed. I am a second slower than @monkeywall even if I do everything I can behind the wheel. I tried different setups (suspensions, downforce) but I came back on the Suzuka's setup.

That extra 30kg more than me must be why you're down @Jomas by that much. It was a near perfect lap for me with a completely different set up from suzuka. I averaged 1.52.4's
 
@monkeywall I tried without the extra weight, and I did a 1'52.4 with the Suzuka's setup on the first lap, so I don't think the weight is the only reason. After the MotoGP race (2PM UK Time I guess), I will open a practice room for 2 hours.
 
Could be my setup for suzuka was all wrong was losing nearly a sec in s1. I'll try to get on around 3 if you're still on
 
In the S1 at Suzuka, I was nearly at full throttle, except the first and last corner. I opened the practice room, restarting my setup from 0.
 
Can't make it tonight will be on, on Tues

Edit:scrap that and reverse it, i'll get on tonight not tues

Room open

Making coffee will be away for few mins
 
After hours of practice and tests, Motegi will be difficult for me. By curiosity, I tested the RX7 with a setup built in 5 minutes including the extra weight, and I am a second faster than the BRZ on that track, loosing everything in slow corners. Anyway, I hope for great battles, even if I am not the fastest !

And I think it is safe to say that a podium will satisfy me.
 
I'll be on tonight messing around with QM at Rome or the GT500 tt. If any1 is doing practice pm me on the psn and i'll come join.
 
Cannot come, going out with friends to watch Juventus vs Olympiacos. Will be on tomorrow most probably.
