My schedule would be more like 7pm-9pm since i cant stay up that late, my timezone is CDT
Sorry i mean 7-10 your time , 6-9 pm my time
We currently running some one-off events during the summer on Saturdays nights. You may not be able race some of the league races or long endurance races then. As they tend to run after 10pm Eastern. You might be able to another league that works better for you schedule. But I'll leave that decision up too you.
 
Most Power Pack races pay well buy themselves. There a bunch of prize credit payouts available not including the 5,000,000 simply for buying the pack. You can also can access to some unique cars. And Gran Turismo started offering weekly challenges payouts for Power Pack races too. And unlike the weekly challenges for the normal offline races. You don't even have to place 3rd or better. The Power Pack has helped me greatly earn the credits needed to buy the high price historical cars.
I'll definitely get it, I'm gonna push hard all the events I have left on the base game

I wanna finish the Event Directory first, I'm currently at 74% and a big chunk of it done on Easy and still had a hard time with some events. I just don't know how I can get any better by myself. I will suck forever. But hey, every league needs someone to finish last, right?
The more time you spend racing the more familiar you will get with the tracks. Knowing where to place the car is of the utmost importance for good lap times. Atlanta is a great example of car placement importance. When you are doing the directory races use a GR3 car when you can and try to lap the competition. Some of the cars that they expect you to use are rarely raced. Then when you know the track like the back of your hand use a car that they are using and make the CRB a goal.
 
Stock 1968 Fiat 500 Races next week 7/18/26. First lap passed 15km for all races rain or shine. Exception for the 2 lap Nurburgring finale. I'm keeping them on stock CH tire. To reduce corning and handling as much as possible.
I don't think that the Fiat will race well stock, in my opinion. At Nurb most of the corners are wide open, all you are doing is turning the wheel and keeping it between the lines. The fast section before the first carousel you spend a lot of time at 35mph. I put the small turbo on, racing air filter, racing muffler, racing header, and racing ECU and that makes it so you have to control speed thru some corners, others are still flat, it runs about 65 mph thru that fast section. Just bringing it to your attention that in my opinion it may be pretty lame in stock configuration. At least modified you get to do some driving. Just sayin

I'm aware of what the car drives like at the Nurburgring. I already did test a race for it. There's more braking than I thought. And it's pretty easy to abuse it's grip levels. Getting the few corners you need to brake for correct. Especially before the uphill climbs is critical. Along with shifting up and down correctly. In particular being aware of exactly when you can shift down to gear 2 and 3. To keep the momentum up without hitting the limiter.

Wow, not sure where you are slowing down enough for second, the most I downshift is to 3rd. As long as you are OK going 35 on a fast part of the track I guess. We just have different ideas of what racing is it appears.

Hey my slow car racing career started with racing Daihatsu Midget II against my Dad in Gran Turismo 2. I know what I'm doing.

We will see about that. A good slow car race will have good battles throughout the grid, we will see what transpires. When I mentioned slow car racing I was thinking stock Civics, those were some of the best daily's when I was doing them. Minis too, the new ones.
 
Relatively speaking?
Well, yes. However, keep in mind that the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time. So tell me, how is it possible that in races the faster person wins? The faster car should then be the one moving slower on track, or that is what the special relativity and speed dilation theories tell us. Or are you calling Einstein a liar, sir?

I'm not calling Einstein dumb but I think its common knowledge that he wasn't a racer. He is out of his element in this case.

As far as your observation "keep in mind that the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time" is that from the point of the traveler or the point of the observer??? I don't really understand the theory of relativity but I think the traveler and observer experience 2 different phenomena.

Yeah, you are absolutely right. Well, relatively right actually, if we wanna be precise.

Well kinda, time sorta slows down a little bit. If your driving a Hypercar and you look around then time " kind of " slows down in the sense that you can see detail in things and everythings not blured.
 
How we get to Einstein? What did I miss? And time is relative. There's now evidence that gravity effects the flow of time. Even your elevation on Earth. Because of how close or how far you are away from the planet's core is enough to cause a slight difference in the flow.

So how did time affect the Apollo astronauts???
We got on the Einstein subject because I drive so freaking fast that people artificially age if they watch me. Did you not see my pole lap at Atlanta????😁😁

I think higher gravity slows down time if I'm remembering correctly. I'm not 100% positive which way.

At that reminds me I didn't post the results page on the forum. I sent them to the chat though.

Oh and I'm blaming you if everyone gets mad at me this week. I wasn't going to do any practice to keep myself rusty. But because of you. I went a did so testing on all 4 layouts for Alsace. And then I just spent the night running Fiat 500 one makes at different tracks. Both AI are too slow for me. I'm selecting the full track reverse if we run Alsace.

As what is next. I'm going to archive Northern Isle 500 idea for now. Last week was Gr race cars with BOP. This week stock one make road cars. I'm thinking tuning challenge but in the old school Gran Turismo way. All out tuned pickup truck East to West tour of the US. I may include some off road races for this one.
 
Hey guys I opening at the usual 7pm Eastern this week. There's not really a set schedule after that. I'm planning to use the auto start timer to start the races. I have 11 preset races. Not sure how many we'll actually get to run. Do to the nature of racing at this performance. Minor contact is fine. It is much better to bump. Than it is to lift. The friction of turning is enough to lose speed. Useful for minor speed changes. The car will climb better in lower gears. Note when you can shift down.

At which time do you think you will be starting the first race???
Thank you for stating the obvious driving habits. :):) The difficult thing might be keeping your eyes open on the straights, with 18 HP the speeds are pretty blazing fast. My lawnmower really does have more power, it is 1 bad Kohler. Lets hope that there are not too many hills. I sure wish ASM was legal for any wet races. :D:D

About 8 minutes after the 2nd player enters the track. I don't think can get every race in.
