I remember you saying something along those lines about fuel and pit stops at Tokyo, that's all

I can't really remember what I did and didn't say, I know I said Indy's fuel before though.

The newer tyre wear may be slow enough to make Laguna Seca a 1 stop race now.

I'll post up when i'm ready to open a room tomorrow night, doubt it will be too friendly for the US though. Likely to be 8-9pm 👍

Oh and make sure you have the DLC if you plan on coming as the session will be at SSRX

 

[bdubclub]

Awesome, got a teammate

Not sure how strong I will be in this car, as it is somewhat different from what I usually run, should be OK though.

Sorry haven't been around to post so much, but have been keeping up on everything. 👍

That's ok, as long as you're up to date with everything mate 👍

Give it your best shot. Indy is an easy track to race at, mainly because you're not racing the track, you're just racing the other drivers. That might sound stupid but it's the same with NASCAR

 

[Matty]

Gonna try join you tonight. I'd be racing it now but I can't be bothered to ask my grandad for his credit card. 👎

You don't need to buy it to race on it in someone's room. I think they're doing what they did with Spa and Kart space, where you can "try before you buy" for a month or so.

 

[JakobNascar88]

Can I bring my 88 NASCAR at full power with me to race with you guys in your indy cars?

Oh that's good news

And probably not Jakob..

 

[DrifterJoe]

I'm wondering what we'd do about cautions at SSRX though. A lap at full speed takes something like 4 1/2 minutes. Maybe we could make the caution speed be as fast as the pace car is able to go.

We'll also probably need a yellow line rule for the track like at Daytona, as the surface on the inside and outside of the track is concrete/tarmac/asphalt, despite looking like dirt/grass/sand.

 

[cgr-10]

I'll check the track boundaries when I get the DLC Joe and we'll work it out. I've got a good idea for cautions.

After an incident the caution is called, but we race green flag until we get to the pits. The safety car pulls out at the start/finish line and all cars slow to 100mph, any cars that want to pit can do so, then they catch back up to the field. Once all cars are in formation, the SC will pull over to the side of the track and racing will resume.

Thoughts?

This^^^ It may lead to some amusing safety car crashes

I'm on it now

Also that's a good idea cause a 20minute safety car lap would be boring

FINALLY FOUND A X1 ROOM

 

[DrifterJoe]

Sounds good for cautions. I presume the safety car would then drive backwards to the pit entrance rather than doing a full lap.


Niop's video of most of a dirty NASCAR race at SSRX (we weren't very dirty that race and managed a nice 7 car train of bumpdrafting). The stuff that looks like dirt is on either side for most of the track, apart from small parts of the straights, and the outside of the banking.

 

[Matty]

FGT tops out at 240ish on its own..

 

[DrifterJoe]

DLC is now out. Just bought it.

I'll get it later.. Having too much fun at the minute

 

[cgr-10]

We'll make that the track boundaries then Joe, and yes the pace car would drive back.

So, do I replace a race or add it to the schedule on top of the other dates?

I suppose it could replace what would've been the Spa race, but if not maybe just add it on top of the other dates.

 

[cgr-10]

I did want to keep the season length down until next time, LV shared this view.

What's your least favourite track on the calendar for IndyCar having driven them all Joe?

That'd be Daytona Road Course.

 

[Matty]

Tom make the SSRX race early on the calendar so ppl who don't buy it can join:tup:

 

[cgr-10]

I do Daytona Road in GT cars but with T1 and the pitlane rules in the FGT's it's hassle. Will replace it with SSRX.

The question is when. Do I make it round 2 or is 2 straight oval races followed by 6 road not a good idea?

Maybe round 3? Indy (oval), HSR (mix of oval and road course), SSRX (oval), Tokyo (road), Laguna Seca (road), Toscana (I'd consider it a mix of both), Feyhill (road), Suzuka (road), Daytona (oval).

Yeah sounds good, will update when I get to my laptop. Hope it's still open for use in 2 weeks time.

 

[JakobNascar88]

I think SSRX will be open for 2 months like Spa and Kart Space.

 

[cgr-10]

Give me strength. 🤬

Lost my save file, got a backup from like 3 months ago on a memory stick which I can't find. I installed the DLC and then my save file reset, kill me now.

EDIT: I'm going to save up 5 million and buy the white FGT in the OCD. Looks like i'm no longer at Target, sorry Mstall.

So you have to install 2.0 again? Ouch..

You still have DLC right?

And anyway I could send you some super GT's that you could sell for money?

My game data is still there along with DLC, it just reset to day 1, 20,000cr, empty garage and level 0/0.

Think i'm using GT purely for online series now, no need to fill my garage up again.

EDIT: Yes please mate! Much appreciated 👍

Cars that are more than 499,999cr new can't be sold for money, just deleted.

Send him a Super GT car though, he can get a Bob to level up and earn credits in the Spa seasonal B-Spec race, and then buy an FGT from the OCD.

Tom- ask in Questions and Answers if anyone has a solution, I seem to remember some people managed to get their save file to work again. Download the Family Upgrade things for the DLC if you haven't, as they can sometimes fix DLC issues.

I'll go to the dealerships and get a 400k car so and just send it to him every day

Actually I may have something to trade for a 24 ticket so I can try get one soon. 👍
