How long does it take to run a race of this distance? Round 1 is my office Christmas party starting at 7pm US/CST

 

[Jav]

You guys want to do some preseason testing this weekend at the scheduled race time? Maybe run some quick 10 lap races at all the tracks to get a feel for the cars? I'm down

Sign me up!!

Set it up and I'll show up. 👍 I'm still working out my transmission on my Citroen and it take very specific gear ratios to get the best acceleration out of this car so I would love to get some Monza data in before I'm stuck with an issue for 300km, ya dig!

I need proper draft pulled brake points and top draft pull mph'

 

[OwensRacing]

Going to the Colts game bit will be back around 6pm EST/ 11pm GMT. So I will join if still going.


Hill try the NSX.

Saturday or sunday? Time slot?

Good luck, man! It's a difficult car to handle; i'm having a hard time nailing it down and get it consistent. I'll give you one hint though, a properly set diff is essential to have any chance of the car gripping.

Yes, I agree that it is a beast to tame. I have it sticking a little bit.

I'd love to but aparently I'm 347 days away in the UCD. It seems all the cars I want to try all 300 + days away. Gonna take a few to get them I guess.

I liked the NSX, but it's top speed was lacking. Same with the GTR LM. That was my first choice, but it lacks that top end, something fierce. The Zonda R isn't that hard to keep going, only when it's on 'low tires' is it tough. The LSD settings, like Veloci said, are the key to that car. I used 20/12/10 as a starting point with a higher first and second gear. The Zonda LM is a good handling car, prone to oversteer though, that's my choice.

Go to license test. Enter and skip to next. Each time you skip 6 cars load up.

Or someone could send you the right ticket and spend time loading save and using ticket repeat till it pops up.

Yea that's what I'm doing. I'm also trying three cars I have to see if I really like one. Sorry for taking so long.

You're last on the list. Take your time.

 

[hillracing]

Well as much as I'd like to try out the NSX and GTR the Zonda LM seems like it's going to be my car. Was bummed that at least for me the ZR1 was slow and the Rx7 too. I like those 2 cars otherwise. So it's the Zonda LM for me.

The ZR1 is pretty okay after supercharging. Better acceleration. All youd have to do after fully tuning is getting the ballast positioning right and getting the downforce set most comfortably for you. Its a easy car to get along with after that

Hey jav, i just noticed i wont be in for the Nürburgring 24 hour race. I have school the day after it starts and no one to take over for me while im gone

 

[freshseth83]

My Zonda is stock in terms of power options and I'm in the high 2:14s at Spa.

 

[TylerJDallas]

I think I'm the last one... but I may take the ZR1... I haven't driven any of these cars and don't even know if I can obtain them yet as I'm only a level 21 ASpec.

Talk about luck. I happen to look in my UCD and look what I bought myself.

Sorry Hill. Hopefully you got/get it to come up.

Lol. I just don't have the patience to go through 300 days of license tests. Glad you got it. I think the Zonda will be a good car. Guess we'll see.

 

[VELOCI_2NR]

My Zonda is stock in terms of power options and I'm in the high 2:14s at Spa.

When I ran it two seasons ago, it did its best with Stg 3 engine, Stg 3 turbo and Chassis reinforcement......hmmm, i wonder if chassis reinforcement might help my Zonda. To the Tune Shop!

 

[gippone]

So Jav, are we going to have a test session this weekend? For me will be good something like 5PM/6PM EST saturday

 

[FlyinHawaiian77]

Glad to see you back Jav! Your series always turn out good competition and are always fun to run in. Good luck with everything!

 

[OwensRacing]

Veloci, since Jett isn't tied up with a new racing career. Think you can talk him into running this series?

Be pretty sweet to have him back with us. Much rather he be starting his race career but obviously a higher power has different plans for his talent.

 

[Joshua1994]

Really interested in this. Was gutted when PURE CALM faded out as I was really keen on the enduros. I may of missed it but what time are we starting? I remember signing up to another series of your's, Jav, and it was really late for us GMT guys.

The only car I have access to is the Zonda and i'd have to do some serious special events and finish up the aspec to get the $ for it. I'm thinking I may not be able to join.

Do I just need to finish all the license tests?

 

[pipi_r6]

I'm in for a pre-test season

None of the cars are past level 22, to my best knowledge, and you can get to that level in a few hours just racing online in public rooms or with friends. The seasonals give loads of EXP as well, and are super easy to beat, so you can try there as well. Then it's just a matter of getting the cars. I know a few of the guys here have duped lever 20,21,22 tickets laying around which should cover the majority, if not all, the cars in the fields that can't be acquired in the premium dealership. You can test out the premiums now (Zonda, Nissan Xanavi Z, ZR-1 RM, GT by Citroen Race Car). The others will show up in your UCD or via prize ticket.

License tests are only useful to get aspec points (but much slower than seasonals and online races) and some use them to cycle through the used car lists.

I don't think he frequents GT5 much anymore, and he's been having major wrist problems that are requiring surgery to fix, so this season is a big NO for him. I'll tell him you think he should be racing right now and are disappointed that he's not though

Thanks for the info... I'm level 21 now so I should be able to hit 22 this evening.
