Can we switch cars for different tracks?Hey guys tomorrow night is our last summer fun event American All Out. A chance to run some of your favorite American road car tunes with little restrictions. The only tuning option ban is engine swaps. Because I didn't want racing engines and non American engine packages. Remember American road cars only. No race cars, Professional Tuned, or VGTs.
This is the first time I've hosted on dirt tracks in GT7 or GT Sport for that matter. So I kept the 2 races short. I'm considering using some off road tracks next year for the fall league. So I wanted to test the waters beforehand. I'm not pleased with how Gr.B class works on off road tracks. Which is why I didn't go that route for an introduction.
As for the other 3 races this week. Daytona will be seen in little a different light. The speeds will be high enough that handling will be a factor. You'll want a very small amount of downforce to keep the car planted. And want increase ride height to prevent the car from bottoming out.
Willow Springs Big Willow. The historic Big Willow might be the most original road course left on the planet. The layout has not been changed at since the track was built 1953. The track is filled with a lot of long duration mid and high speed corners. High downforce is a most to increase cornering speeds and stability. The short straightaways and limited heavy braking zones can make passing difficult. A good pit strategy can matter a lot here. All Racing compounds are available. Use them how you wish.
Some good old American short track racing to end the night. Due to the high wear nature of Northern Isle. The cars will be on Sports Softs for this race. Car management, developing a rhythm, and having aggressively patient mindset towards traffic are keys here. Bottoming is a concern here as well. Of course high downforce as well. I recommend a car that handles and rotates well. And gives you options of where you can drive the corners.
Yes details are a few posts upCan we switch cars for different tracks?
I wont be there for the first dirt race, kinda early and dirt aint my favorite, I think PD kinda has the physics all out of kilter, to put it mildly. Probably not as bas as drifting but it is far from good.Alright guys bring your best American car tunes tonight. Next week we'll do a full test weekend for the FormulaCar World Series league. I'm going to run like a standard weekend for the league. Exception the 2 races will be none scoring rounds.
What you doing for Fishermans Ranch then?I wont be there for the first dirt race, kinda early and dirt aint my favorite, I think PD kinda has the physics all out of kilter, to put it mildly. Probably not as bas as drifting but it is far from good.
Maybe race, maybe eat dinner, maybe go downstairs and play some pool, I can always find something to occupy my time. 😁What you doing for Fishermans Ranch then?

The performance restrictions are there to keep ineligible cars out. They should not effect tuning. Highest I was able to get either car was 973.?? PP.
