Finalising testing data re: laps per race.

Tokyo R246 will run for 14 laps
Laguna Seca will run for 16 laps.

when time is avalible, will update for the rest of the rounds.

Please note, Circuit de la Sarthe will be a slightly longer (timewise) round because of the circuit's tradition
 
One thing, why does no one want to use the 'ring in these race series? I haven't seen that track turn up in a series. I usually fall asleep driving Sarth. May be it's the difficulty passing or something?

No it's not because of difficulty in passing, but more to I think it needs to comply with the 30 minutes race time rule. For example, in this race series the race will only then lasts about 3 or 4 laps and the track is very long... Just my thought though.

But do the number of laps really matter as long as the time is fair? I love the Ring.

I know. I would love to race there too. Or could it be an issue with the tyre wear (since it's set to strong)? Perhaps we should ask granturismite why we don't have the Nordschleife...

I miss not having the Ring in any race series too. I think the problem might have been in the hotlap(GTPLMS) or 5 lappers(SuperGT) during qualifying. It did show up for that excellent TT bike series (TTCRS) last summer. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=128319 :sly:

I put my vote in for and will show up for the Ring even if it means missing my wife's funeral. More likely mine. :lol:

But will be understanding if it doesn't.
 
Quite honestly, I don't like the 'ring. Probably because I have not put enough time in on the ring to be quick!

I can put it into the series, seeing as I seem to be over-whelmingly outvoted
 
I would love to be a part of this. 1st time for everything, I guess? In my case. :dunce: Take it easy on me. :nervous:

Race # = 66
Car = Mercedez Touring

Hey! Welcome to the series DKlion. Unfortunately there is no Mercedes Touring Car running in the series as of right now. We are allowing as follows (The percent coincides with weight changes in the arcade quick tune menu):

BMW M3 GTR Race Car 2001 (GER) (+1%)
LISTER Storm V12 Race Car 1999(GBR) (-2%)
AUDI A4 Touring Car 2004 (GER) (-1%)
FORD Falcon XR8 Race Car 2000(AUS) (+0%)
OPEL/VAUXHALL Astra Touring Car 2000 (GER/GBR) (+2%)
NISSAN Calsonic Skyline (JTGC) 2000 (JPN) (+4%)
HONDA Mobil 1 NSX (JGTC) 2001 (JPN) (+1%)
TOYOTA Castrol Tom's Supra (JGTC) 2001 (JPN) (+5%)

Test them all and pick your favorite. Be careful of the year on the JGTC cars though!
 
Thanks E.Rak! Will do and get back. Does the Honda Takata Dome qualify? If not, I'll have to do some ginding to get the Mobile-One. :sly:

Edit: I'm at work racking my brain. :ouch:

I can ask granturismite if he'll let me do some testing. Which race are you grinding? I usually run the Capri Rally (easy). It's the second one down in the special conditions hall and awards right around 275,000 for 4 laps total of racing after you sell the prize car.
 
Ok guys, an update on Series formation.

I will be adding the 'Ring into the "calander" somewhere. Perhaps increasing to a 10 race series as well.

I'm thinking, as there will be no sprint rounds, etc, doing some races back to back (i.e. one week between each race), and having a two week break between other races. how does this work with some of your schedules?

Also, waiting on E Rak to perform some more testing to see if the Takata Dome NSX can be added in the race series, as requested by DKLion3s (by the way DK, welcome!)
Considering changing the Castrol Supra with the Denso Sard Supra

Given E Rak's commitment and work, I hereby decree that I owe him a drink! :cheers: Enjoy the digital goodness!
On a more serious note, I would like to promote E Rak to second-in-command, incase I accidently do something to get banned, or if I fall by the wayside.

Yeah, that's the event a generally utilize for the task of grinding, with the FGT. :sly:

Thanks for the invititation, and warm reception guys! If it will be too much out the way to add the Takata Dome? Then this old dog is gonna have to learn new tricks. :scared:

And don't get banned on me, just when the fun is about to start.

Edit: Granturismite, I think I can work with that schedule. I work every other weekend and generally have a day off during the week, prior to the weekend that I'm scheduled to work. So, I'll be off this coming weekend.

I would be honored granturismite! Let's hope there is no banning to be done around here though. Maybe you'll have to send me a round through the mail?

I'll try and test tonight, if not I can finish it up tommorrow. The Denso Sard Supra is going through the gauntlet tonight as well to see if it has a more reasonable weight penalty compared with the current Supra.
 
Well the results of the aforementioned testing have come in! Takata Dome NSX was RIGHT on the money. I really liked the paint on the Denso Sard Supra but it was still only a hair slower than the Castrol Supra. Still, better than nothing! Granturismite it's up to you whether to replace the Castrol with the Denso or the Mobil 1 NSX with the Takata Dome. In each case the cars drive about the same.

HONDA Takata Dome NSX (JGTC) 2003 486 hp 1170 kg (+0%) 1'25.864
TOYOTA Denso Sard Supra GT (JGTC) 2000 464 hp 1144 kg (+4%) 1'25.842
 
👍 +2


Great work there E RaK!

I love the colours of the Dome, it is reminiscent of my country of origin. :sly:

Would be real nice if granturismite approves of it. Besides, exhaust notes sound way better than the Mobile. :dopey:

I do need some clarification regarding the 20-30 mins time for each race. Has there been a specified amount of laps calculated for each track within the alotted time?

Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: Just a suggestion, could we just add the two other cars, as part of the selection?

Thank's a lot! I think granturismite is looking to replace the Castrol Supra, but I'm not sure if he'll simply add the Takata Dome.
 
sorry about the delay, my pc is on the fritz (struggling to survive)

Anyway, as E RaK has said, I will replace the Castrol Supra with the Denso Sard Supra

And I will add the Takata Dome NSX. I've been read like a book!

I am in the process of testing each track for a couple of laps and calculating the laps required
 
Made my day granturismite, with the Dome approval. Thanks! Sure do understand PC problems, mine is on the fritz too, need a new power supply.

Looking forward to the races. Hope I can make them all! 'Till then.
 
Is it too late to enter this series granturismite? I'm undecided about which car to run (I have to do some testing), but I'm all for one last GT4 series...Also, could it be possible to add Special Stage Route 5 as the 10th race?
 
Ohhh I remember ssr5 from SuperGT, loved that one! There is plenty of time to test and sign up as well, we haven't started any races yet.
