You can't give up already were only started

 

[nostradavor2]

Haha I gave up for today.. I won't give up.. We're going to beat you

I bought Mercury Cougar in GT5 today so I was happy.. I think used car dealership was actually good for the game.. Also in GT5 if you play around with tires and car PP you can create great Arcade races unlike GT6.. That's mostly why I still prefer 5 over 6.. 6 is for The Hub only

I also like GT5 that's when I first went online and life didn't exist for a while after that well you need to find a good tune for the alfa and speaking of which I need to get in the other calibra and find a tune also:tup:

Onlinw on gt5 was great..


Oh.. So you got the wrong one..
Yes I need new setup even tho this one doesn't handle bad but it improved my time only feom 2:29 to 2:28.. But I don't know if any tune will help on this track if Calibra is much faster because Rome is basically only straights.. We'll see when my team mate comes..

 

[bjl23]

The other 2 races will be on different tracks and have different pp, each race the pp gets higher.
Different brand cars may do better on the other tracks?

@paddycars1 please double check your car as I think you used the Opel not the Vauxhall.

full dowe force I have for the calibra and 50/50 torc split am running full hight at the front and near none at the back..not sure about the gears I think the alfa is faster at low revs am sure the lfm will have a good tune anyway bro:tup:

Just to have a reference i try both competitors cars for DTM run.
The 192 was of the pace to challenge Calibra ,the Alfa might turn a bit easier but need more power to shine at this one.
Very hard for me the dirt mission , too much loosing time in unwanted spins .

What time did you get with the Mercedes? I tried a lot last night for no gain.

A couple of comments on DTM Classic:

Sometime ago, during a Nordschleife 600pp Seasonal, with another gang, we raced a challenge using the 3 real DTM cars (Alfa, Opel, Mercedes… Vauxhall Super TC is actually a fantasy race car). Drivers were driving all the 3 carmodels (RH, maxed setup) and at the end of the story the performances have been very close (just ms gap for 20.832m circuit) for steering wheel drivers while ds3 drivers lapped with similar times with 4WD car but 1 sec slower with FR Mercedes.
Well, I'm quite surprise Vauxhall so faster in this 1st race, most likely the quite long straight are an advantage for her.

Here are some entries for our current events:

R41 COOL RUNNINGS (0:44.404)

R41 CHIC DTM CLASSIC (2:28.220)

R41 KO (O:46.829)

That's very interesting about the DTM cars, hopefully one car make won't be dominant in all 3 races.

Nice time with the mission.

 

[nostradavor2]

Alfa lacks power on this circuit.. Even tho my tuning abilities don't exist, it just shows on straight line that it lacks power.. I'll play little bit with setups when Ill get chance but I dont think under 2:28 is very likely.. Looks like we'll have to win other 2 races

 

[bjl23]

What power and weight do your cars have at 500pp?

I have my Mercedes at 344hp and 1080kg at 500pp, I think.

Nice mate,
Try the other races to.

What time did you get with the Mercedes? I tried a lot last night for no gain.

If i remember well was about 30-31 but it was obvious that lacks in power against the Calibra.
I race mine with 50kg weight and seems very fast at acceleration against both competitors .
The Alfa might turn better but also has power handicap .
If you brake corect with Calibra , it's easy to apply full throttle and turn sliding a bit without loosing time.
From my driving skills , at this track and pp compination ,it will need a miracle to overcome someone the Calibra times.
At mid section time Calibra pass at 48s and 47s first and second lap while 192 was at 50s and 49s.
Nice to see @Thematic participating again and hope to enjoy it as we do.
Ok, sometimes i feel like want to "slap " @paddycars1 for his blistering times but am not gonna tell him
Its my teammate now and i don't wanna upset him
If things go well ,i might pass him at school this time.

Try beating vettel that's the hardest event in GT history bye far! I did years ago and I think they made it harder from then:tup:

 

[nostradavor2]

Well I did Monza today.. I'm not planning even trying another track.. I heard Nurburgring is easiest and Suzuka hardest.. I guess maybe Monza is easiest after golding it.. It took me 15-20 attempts
