Performance Points for Marrrrrch Forward
As I said before my March 12SR '07 is fully modded and around 468 but it's not broken in yet. Are you thinking less is better here? The car feels pretty good with the max hp (233 atm though not broken in). I'll break it in today/tonight with a B-Spec enduro and see where the PP stand.
* I went ahead and added all 4 of the cars you mentioned for the March race. I was initially going to include these but then I noticed that the '07 has like 33% more power than any of the others. I don't care if anybody wants to use a low powered car but the thing I hate is when someone sees the specs on Monday night at 7PM then they show up with an underpowered car, get frustrated and quit after 10 laps. If we just make everyone race the same car (the Premium '07) then you don't have this problem.
Running just the March 12SR '07 is fine by me especially since it's easily acquired in the premium dealership, I wasn't even suggesting we use the others from the that platform just listing that they were options if we so chose.
* In terms of the LeMans race I need serious help. I don't know my race cars very well but I was just thinking any race car in the game that had the "LM" suffix in it. Although I'm not opposed to racing LMP, Group C, GT1/2/3, GT500, GT300, DTM, etc. I guess all we really need is a list of comparable cars that can be found easily (i.e. premium dealership).
As far as cars available in the premium dealership I'd say the best possible outcome would be the Audi R10 vs. the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP.
The Mazda 787B is also available in there but that would be the lone Group C car, unless you count the Toyota Minolta which is winnable in the A-Spec like the wind race.
I made my greatest online pass ever in this race... snipped the race report
Another awesome race report! This seems to have been our most fun and most popular event to date and I hope they keep getting better!
* No problem moving the Fuji Race and the UK race.
I have a Lotus, TVR and Aston ready for next week and I'll be on vacation the week after. I think we ought leave the schedule how it was since its been posted for awhile now.
Oops, I already changed it. What race do you absolutely not want to miss and when will you be on vacation?
Oh...thats alright. I prefer no changes made on my or any particular driver's behalf without vote. You've changed this one...which is fine but however many people race...we'll be dealing with that many different schedules etc.
When I first stared Monday Night Endurances I didn't even have a list of upcoming races. We'd race Monday night then I'd panic on Tuesday trying to figure out an event to do for the next week (luckily there were several awesome people who helped out figuring out specs and events). I finally got tired of procrastinating and made an out list of possible future races that I could pull from any given week. It has kinda evolved into the "Future Races" quote box in the first post. But it was always intended to be flexible, and we've changed things around prior.
If the group as a whole wants to make things more concrete and firm I can do that. But I'd rather give up that security to accommodate as many people as possible. Me, I don't really care what we do any week, I just want to race.
With that said, I can do a couple of things: 1) I can just put the schedule back to how it was, or 2) I can try to work with your schedule and Bri-y's (and anyone else's) and see if we can work out something so that everyone gets to race their most anticipated races. As long as it's easy I don't really care.
I certainly would not want diabolicwyvern to miss out on a race he's prepped for already. I know we had just come up with the Super GT and Secret Race idea in the past week so I figured it was still pretty flexible. Perhaps diabolicwyvern and I can come up with a race for you guys that week (the 4th) since it seems we're both on vacation then. Then we can put the UK Battle back to it's original spot and push the Super GT's back until after Mike's Secret Race.
I have one more thing to add here. This was definitely an awesome race. Towards the end I had lost count of laps and how many times I'd been lapped / lapped others. I think I was 1 lap ahead of CAMikaze, but 1 lap behind Brandofo, who I thought was also 1 lap behind the next guy. It was crazy, and I think everyone had a different pit strategy (some 2 pits, some 3, some 4, maybe 1 person had a 5-pit strategy???). yet #1-5 all finished within 25 seconds of each other after 90 minutes of racing. Incredible!!!
It was an awesome race. Bummer I didn't get to finish it as my pit strategy adjustment was going to be interesting. Who knows what would have happened. My tires would have lasted for a 1 stop strategy but... I don't think it would have saved me any time running so many laps in the 1 minute 12-13-14 second range.
I try to do something different every week, and I make an effort to do a slow race every few races. Ideas??? Aside from the upcoming Super GT race at Fuji I don't really see us doing many more races above 500pp.
Also, by the time I got around to testing for the Ferrari/Lamborghini race and I realized that 600pp was too high it was too late to chagne. I mean you couldn't even tune most Ferraris to anything above 550-575pp, and that's just stoopid. I really wanted to race my F40 but it was a non-starter. For future races like this one I'm going to make sure that the PP is set so that more cars can race; there's really no need to have to add more power to a Murcielago SV anyways.
As far as the Nissan March race goes, I'm super stoked.
Wow glad I went with my first instinct then in choosing the Scuderio! I didn't even test any other cars this week because I had just wanted to drive the thing since it had been sitting in my garage unused for a while.
We could always use the Super GT300 cars instead of the GT500. Or depending on how many people are racing use both?
I personally enjoy the GT300 cars more but would be willing to do the GT500.
I enjoy both as well, personally the GT500 Cars are a bit more fun to drive though. I don't think a GT500/GT300 mixed class race would be that great of an idea, at this point anyway. Perhaps if we knew we'd have 16 competitors and could divide it up equally, but at the same time the cash/xp dividends would all fall to the GT500 guys since you can't assign classes before a race.
If it's GT300 thats fine too...
No pictures of my car yet...
@Benda--Hopefully I didnt come off to strong. I'm quite laid back. Since I joined this only recently I confess I did not read the forum posts except the OP and those after my first post. I have no feelings about particular races to run and should I miss one I'm looking forward to...I simply set up my preferences online and host a room to my liking. I enjoy following. It's easier
And I hate doing work after I leave work.
:-D We'll work it out man!
No worries my man
I'm happy to put my time into this and will continue to do so as long as people come back to race. Don't tell anyone but the main reason I do this is because I only have 1 night per week to race and I got tired of searching for hours and hours trying to find a decent room.
Plus, I like doing endurance races and pretty much nobody else is doing that right now online. I would've been happy to find just 1 other person to race but to see 8-10 people show up every week is awesome.
Endurance races for the win!!!
looks like PD might've taken TGTT down for a time to fix some kind of glitch. follow the discussion
here
I set it as the default track in my lounge options and it loaded right up. Though the track does lack pits, which would cause an interesting situation if heavy damage were on and someone had a little accident going through the crossover sections...
