NES S4.5: The NES Classic May 26th (14/15)

[PSN offapple]

Event: Nürburgring 1 Hour
PSN ID: micantony #73
Team Name: Gentleman Racing Team (i think as Clean Racer and I are negotiating a contract )
Car: TBD
Tyre Manufacturer: Michelin

for the season 4.5, do teammates need to use the same car? If you want variety, I will drive something different.

No, teammates don't have to for special events, only for main NES seasons. The rules for the special events are a lot more open and lenient in that way

On a side note, it's taken just 9 hours since the entry lists went live, and the first of the special events has all of the regular spots taken! To quote xMattyG, "Unbelievable scenes!"

People can still apply for reserve spots for the event, and the sooner you do so, the higher your chance is of making it to the race!

#27 is taken by @DrifterJoe for every event already. Please could you find a number that isn't already taken?

Thank You.
I have updated my entry post as well and added more races I would like to participate.

Clean Racer turned me onto your Season 4 thread and i guess he had a great time in the race he joined 👍
I read through it and it looks like fun. I was waiting for you to open up this season 4.5 thread and i can't believe the Nurb' race was all but full when i noticed it!

 

[gugas99]

See it again
My mistake

Yeah, even I'm amazed at how quick the places have gone. Even some NES regulars like Gugas will have to go on the reserve list. Luckily he's early enough to still have a decent chance of making the race.

In the NES classic I’m going with the HONDA NSX, so it’s already mine but I will do the entries by weekend as i said b4

You'll need to read the livery regulations regarding this event.

You'll need to read the livery regulations regarding this event.

Where can I find a car list with liveries for the NES Classic?
I can find a thread about S3, but not S1 or S2...

 

[Neyrox]

how will we do qualy at the Nurb, our tires are going to wear down quick on just the outlap, and if we drive slow, were probably just gonna have 7 minutes of qualy left, and then once we do start our lap, our tires are gonna be pretty worn down already. And then if we mess up, we don't have enough time to try another lap.

That's because offapple didn't know what social media or GTPlanet was before S3 started.

I never said that it was going to be easy. If I recall, @DrifterJoe and some others tried a tyre saving outlap last time. In talks with the moderators about it

@JonathanVerm There's a neat little section on the S4 thread called "The NES Archives" where you can view some of the old gen info. It's post #7, and there should be a team history section under every driver tab. Hope that helps

#88? Is this the successor to Raamstappen?! (only NES OG's will remember)

Ah, I see!

The following might be something for me. But I have no clue about the liveries...
-Jontikis #88 with Lamborghini Racing Team (LRT) from S2
-BlackWindowRaam #88 with Lamborghini Racing Team (LRT) from S2

That car was the Nomad Diablo if you were wondering. If you played older GT's you'll know what it looks like, and if not then use google images. Like a lot of the replicas, the livery can be more of an "inspired by" than an exact replica if you so choose.

I guess that it will be for the Lamborghini Huracán then?

The Gentlemen Racing Team livery for the Nurburgring Special event have been updated:

 

[PSN offapple]

Regarding "The NES Classic", here are the current liveries I've made so far. I can make more by request if you've seen something you want making from S1 or S2 in the NES Archives back on the Season 4 thread.

McLaren Motorsport (S1)
OffApple & FunnyTroll (Ninja__Karma)

Britannica GT Corvette (S1)
Jim38737 & AstroRobot

BWT Citroën Total (S1)
BlackWindowRaam

Baltic Sea Competition (S2)
Sniparator & Gugas

HTP Motorsport Mercedes (S2)
Marcus_Lauda

Britannica GT Corvette (S1-S2)
AstroRobot

I also believe @CrazyJohn also might have some Gr.3 replicas too.

 

[Clean Racer]

If someone competes in the "NES Classic" do they have to run the race number provided in the historic livery or do they run their own number?

A decent question! I'd say that's up to the driver as to whether they want to use the historic number or their own number. For myself, I'm using #58 rather than #9 on my McLaren because that's what my S1 number was back then (#58 being a McLaren factory number much like #59)

 

[Clean Racer]

Now that I've taken a closer look at the liveries you have posted, it looks like they use the GT Sport standard number board. Very cool. I'd like to run the McLaren as well. Is it okay to have more than 1 car of each manufacturer? If so, I'll use the McLaren.

You know what...let me go check the thread instead of asking so many questions. Lol
