But I travel waaay too much to say that I can participate every week. I'm in Germany now without my PS2 and I'm sick! I could be helping you guys out! I'm definately gonna start traveling with it!

I'll be using the C9, of course!
 
Hi. I was wondering if i could 'compete' in this Group C thing you are doin (sorry i called it a thing im not very familiar with whats going on yet because ive only read the first three messages). I would probably choose the 787B quad rotary (yay!).

wow, thanks for all the interest and comments guys. Oh and here is the link to the sign-up thread, which some people have been looking for:

Well, when I click on that link it brings me right back to this thread...

So, I'm assuming that there's a mistake in the above link, or that I'm just doing this wrong somehow...

But I definitely want to sign up for this series -- so despite the fact that I cannot find the "proper" forum in which to sign up, please include me in the plans for this race.

Thanks!
 
regarding the Pug 905 and it's Gear-Changing-Problem ...

There seemed to be a possibility to get the second-to-third-gearchange faster done if you shift a bit earlier (around 10.000 rpm) and with the throttle applied at around 50-75%, but it won't improve the time in the end.
I tried it in Las Vegas, Hongkong and Tsukuba and the outcome is basically the same - it doesn't really matter with the DS2 since the X-button just gives you 0/50/100%-throttle .... sometimes it works, and sometimes you get spinning wheels and you lose immediately - without a DFP, it's up to what the player likes best.
 
okay, so how does this actually work? Obviously we can't all be on the track at the same time, unless we all got together and went LAN (which is completely unfeasable). Therefore I can't see why qualifying is neccessary, as you are simply going for the quickest laptime. Am I missing something here?

I dunno, perhaps more info is needed for the uninitiated

Also, you can't play GT4 online can you? Like over a BB connection?
 
Iwant to make sure i got this right - R5 tires are the "Racing Soft"-tires, are they?
I'm currently trying to get the 905 up to speed ...
 
this is a nice idea, but i´m loaded with combos to play... maybe if the compe starts after the DTM and after BC qualify... then i can make it... lets see how things play out, but cool idea 👍

R5 tires are RSS (Racing Super Soft) and are banned, according to the rules posted earlier in this thread. R1 tires are RSH (Racing Super Hard) and are also banned.

R2, R3, and R4 tires are all acceptable. Those are (in order) RH (Racing Hard), RM (Racing Medium), and RS (Racing Soft).
 
Where can we discuss T times?
If so, my las T time on fuji 80's was a 47.62X
That was only after 2 laps
could we do somw FGT racing too? The only thing that should be done is add weight to it and put it all twords the front
 
okay, as nitro_2005 pointed out, he took all the cars for a quick lap around Le Mans II with RS5-Tires and came up with an 3'08.something for the Pug 905.

If you stick the the third gear when having to shift up, you'll save a huge amount of time and prevent a lot of wheelspin. I think it's actually possible to clock a 3'01 or better with the pug, but since you'll eventually will get a bit wheelspin in the third gear with RS2,3,4-tires, there might be an average time of 3'03 to 3'04.

I think if you end braking before turning into the corner and already accelerating out of the corner when starting to turn, the laptimes might improve. I think it's a bit hard to understand ... but it's not easy to describe.
I could try to capture a short video-clip explaining better what i wanted to say.

I know what you mean:tup:, it seams that you need or can do that with alot of MR cars.
 
okay, since i managed to get my hands on a cam, i'm uploading three short vids right now, i'll link them as soon as they are up.

[edit]
okay, here we go:
Mulsannes Corner 2nd-gear
entering Mul-corner after the long hunadieres, shifting down in second and being "soft" on the throttle out of Mulsanne ...

Mulsannes Corner 3rd-gear
same corner, same car - but now attempting to take it in 3rd gear ... and i was a bit too fast, too ;) - normally i don't hit the outta curbs ...

Indianapolis 3rd-gear
Indy with the P905 being a bit unstable under braking and a bit too slow in the left-hand-corner ... despite from that, the 3rd-gear seems to be the best option out of that two corners.

[edit2] tripod seems to make problems ... try this link instead, should work now.

[edit3] had to remove the files, if you still want 'em, tell me via PM.
 
so we are allowed to race the group c cars with R3 tyres, but without traction control and ASM?
 
ah cool. I just have to get either my PS2 Fixed again or just go get the slimmer one and I'll join(if it ever happens).
 
I will be joinin AngelCreator:), would be a nice teammate to work with
 
Could we get some sort of a timetable for the season, if not, at least an idea of when round one will occur.

Do you want replays in .MAX for or something else. Or do you want us to take picture of the "free run" screen where it shows the time?
 
to add to the authenicity, why not have the Participants pictures of the car they are running and themselves?(optional). A Leaderboard and a qualifiying list would be cool too.
