PURE | CALM - Hey, it's mixed class Le Mans endurance racing.

[Litchi]

Hi guys. Just signed up for GTE with Will and Mule as my Teammates. Hope for a great series. 👍

Yeahhhh!!! Very glad to see you onboard dear friend.

And you finally signed up on GTP. Awesome. Hope that'll help to perform your english dude

 

[KingBestJr]

Room up for the next hour

[Litchi]

Nice job. 👍

Still looking for the Viper #91.

 

[The Reality]

I'll be looking to get some practice in so anyone feel free to add me on PSN. Just tell me it's calm racing .

 

[KingBestJr]

Whats a good lap in the Audi R10 LMP at spa anyone?

 

[Wardez]

Hey, every one feel free to add my PSN btw, Wardez, so you can all find me easily as I'll be hosting rooms (whether I'm in the division 1 or 2 room xD)

@KingBestjr

A good lap around spa is 2:11 or under sir 👍

Also, final tweaks to the spec's coming soon, stay tuned!

 

[Michouw]

GTE and for what is a good laps ?

 

[Wardez]

For GTE, 2:17 or under 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

For GTE, 2:17 or under 👍

That confirms I'm off pace.

 

[Wardez]

Well i didnt do that time myself, so i mightve read it wrong. Double checking

 

[Joshua1994]

2.17 sounds about right. Managed a 2.16.2xx but the rest 2.16.8-17.2's.

 

[Müle]

in what car?

 

[Wardez]

Yeah, anything under 2:18 really, and you're on it. Saw the time in gate19.

 

[TheBook]

2:17, on an alienesque qualy lap, I might be able to see. I was able to pull mid-2:20 laps with no practice in a Citroen, for comparison.

 

[Joshua1994]

in what car?

R8. Had Tim's tune on he posted a few pages back. Tire's are literally dead after 8-10 laps though.

 

[hasslemoff]

Signed up for the BMW GTE team, time to start getting some more practice in.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Yup. That was even after taking the positive rear toe out as I felt it rotated too much, especially off-throttle in low speed corners. The last couple corners were all over the place.

 

[Wardez]

Updated the OP a bit, new news... coming soon! xD

And check out the teams page, it has names and PSN tags so we actually know who's who 👍

Wowzers.

 

[CSLACR]

Do you mean positive in the game, or in real life?
+ rear toe in the game will keep a car more stable, - rear toe will make it turn in sharper, and be generally more unstable altogether, even in a straight line.


IIRC, + in the game is actually negative toe, and - is actually positive.
Doc?

 

[freshseth83]

Weird, I can run 2:18's and 2:19's for a solid 8-10 laps with the R8. But it's not very 'fast' on a single lap. During endurance races, single lap pace is worthless if it chews tires IMO. The feel of the R8LMS is definitely much different than other GT cars. The Citroen is unique as well.

 

[CSLACR]

The feel of the R8 LMS is phenomenal.
Shame it's so damn heavy.

 

[Wardez]

Rear toe seems to be right, but front toe is almost definitely backwards.

 

[freshseth83]

With the R8 I think i use 0 toe for the front and -15 for the rear. I think I used a setup from the NSX in SuperGT.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I thought PD gave all cars 0.20 toe in the rear to help them turn better for noobs?

Edit: How exactly does the GT Academy team thing work, since we don't have the Signatech Nissan?

 

[Müle]

+0.20 rear tow stabilizes it iirc.

 

[CSLACR]

Rear toe seems to be right, but front toe is almost definitely backwards.

If I remember it right, the in-game description does accurately say what effects each will cause.

I know RT said

That was even after taking the positive rear toe out as I felt it rotated too much

Which is the opposite of how the toe works in the game.

I believe in the real world, positive toe points in though, in which case removing positive toe would make a car more stable.

The +0.20 makes the car more stable than 0.00 in GT5.

In real life:

You are correct.

I'll assume you're talking about the news article I posted?

Just an article for a little fun background, there'll be more "ambient informational" articles like that in the future, that don't necessarily have anything to do with the racing in the series, just for entertainment and a bit of that old immersion quality.

 

[CodeRedR51]

No huge deal on the toe thing, I may be swapping tunes tonight anyway.
