W.M.A. International Touring Car Championship-Season Wrap-Up!

[racingzack]

I hope they release the newer style civic on gt6!

Would also be great if you could apply shapes like forza so teams really stand out!

 

[cnd01]

So season 3 to begin in 2020?

I am sorry it is actually going to release by 3020 with a 200 year delay. Oh and the dlc will have more nissan gt-rs and nissan leafs

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

this isn't a wishlist thread.


Ummm, barring all GT6 jokes, the point remains, we will do some "shuffling" to see if we can't make more teams, before the normal season starts.


I'm going to post up some cars for share on my profile, and everyone's welcome to test out the cars I put up:

Focus ST-MAFIA Motorsports is running it
BMW 135i-BMW Jormo Racing is running it
Volvo C30-Air Racing is running it

Therefore, visit my profile under "Community" and test these cars, if you're looking to join a team

I'm going to get online now to see what the fuss is about with this track. I'll see you in a bit.

No fair, I have work for another 5 or 6 hours.

Actually MrM BMW Jormo Racing is running the BMW 135i ...
I have to point it out as Team Boss and all ... LOL

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Oh, oops, I have to update my Registered Drivers' list, and the car selection I've put up online.


Anyways, just to ensure accuracy; what are the specs of the 135i? We're still taking car requests until this Friday. LAST CALL! If you have a car that you'd like to run in the series, that hasn't been added to the car list, ensure that you post the specs before Friday!

I will put another ford focus st on my community list as well. Of course it will be fitted with official MAFIA Motorsports colors. (Black paint with medium blue wheel paint) I will carry the American flag for the Manufacturers points.

Alright. Once we start to get more Team Entries, I'll allow for people to make banners for their Team's Standings.


I recommend pixlr.com for this, and taking a photo of both of the team cars side-by-side. Please send me the photos once you've put the effects and text you want on it, and I'll add the official banner stuff.


I made a quick example:

I look forward to seeing the team banners. Once I nail down a consistent teammate then I will make one.

Yep. I made a little example. (I don't care if your banner matches your cars, I want to see cool looking banners.)

Anyways, if you don't want to make one, just tell me, and I'll make one for your team.

Norm & I are running S2K's. Although I heard he changed cars for GVE. Dont know if were team mates or not. Looks like he's set on black on yellow and I'm not budging from black on orange.

I could have swore Seth already came on here and posted .58 lap times. Or was that someone else?

Cnd what car are you running again?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

cnd is running a Focus ST.


Also, the yellow/orange thing should be fine. I think most people would just associate it as "the S2000 team" anyway.

I mean, you could focus on "warm" colours, in the artistic style, and just use that, and maybe settle on having black rims or something.

 

[FlyinHawaiian77]

Can I have specs for the Lutecia Renault Sport Phase 2 '03?

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I haven't done specs for it yet.

Think that was before everyone new about running the chicane, correct me if I'm wrong

 

[Johnnypenso]

Yes the 58's were before the chicane, but I do believe someone posted 59.8's already including the chicane. Personally, I'm more interested in your lap time on lap 8 of your RS tires stint, than your fastest lap...lol.💡

Me too. I can run below 1.01 for 3 or 4 laps depending on how smooth I drive. I pit as soon as I run a lap time above 1.01 which is generally lap 6/7 or 7/8. I have run 4 practice races so far.

Had a 20 lap test earlier and I had to pit on lap 15/16 ... ran on RS tyres the entire test ... worst proper lap was in the 1:02's ...

Were you running the chicane?

 

[NizmoDr3]

Were you running the chicane?

Yep ... after you showed me the racing line with our little test earlier (before I got dc'd) the best time I got so far was 1:01:150 ...

But my front left tire is taking the most wear ... still need to try and rectify that ...

The benefits of running a rear wheel drive car. Looks like this week will be tougher than ever.

 

[NizmoDr3]

I'm going to put the little Beemer on share if anybody wants to test it ... It's a brand new one and not broken in so please ... be gentle ... LOL

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Heh, I need to test that anyway. I'll help break it in. Moment!

 

[birel349]

the front wheel drive civic keeps a good pase, mid 1 minute 0s JZR found quite easily, the problem came in a test race when we were out breaking each other, when i was coming round the last corner last lap and lost all front left, and catapulted into the wall. However we were making lundges on each other, to get an idea how late you can break to get past and still make the corner. When i did this i found overtaking and sliding to get past had a massive effect on the tyre wear as the track is so tight.

I found it was better after tq to back off a bit and be smooth on the wheel as when i drove as fast as i could as when i was pushing i was using the wheels to scrub of speed. However I have not tested medium tyres, apart from 3 laps in quali where i managed a 1:00:728, which was 4 tenths off my average soft tyre time, but a considerable way off a good soft tyre time.

 

[freshseth83]

1:01s are my first laps around here offline. I can keep that pace until pit stops come around. I'm still torn on which car to use. I'm thinking BMW, then I'm thinking Civic hatch, and then I miss my scirocco, but theres my other secret weapon made by Mitsubishi... decisions, decisions.

 

[NizmoDr3]

Beemers up ...

 

[birel349]

based on what we did depending on your driving style, the car to use varies. If you use the front end to scrub speed, then a rear wheel car is better as the track is so tight, but quite quick it takes very little to take to much grip out of the tyres, as i say i wore my front wheels and ended up losing 10 seconds on the 6th lap as when the tyres get very worn the drop of suddenly gets quicker so what looks like enough rubber to do a lap will last till the second corner

 

[cnd01]

I wish I could be testing right now. The focus is out of balance it seems. I need better corner entry. It understeers on corner entry, and oversteers on corner exit. I would like to balance the car without killing tire wear.
