Is anyone testing right now? If not I will start a lobby.
 
Don't go to my lounge. I'm not going to be online, but, I'll change the settings now.
 
I am opening my lounge up right now. Anyone who isn't my friend can friend me. cnd01 just like my GTP account. ;)
 
My lounge is ready for testing there, but, I guess, for now, we'll use cnd01's lounge.

First, though, mics on or off?

I rarely use my mic so it doesn't matter to me. My sound system is so loud when I'm driving, I usually just get complaints from other drivers about hearing my background...and from people walking by on the sidewalk:ouch:
 
I ran a 1.00.2 so an improvement of 2/10ths of a second.

As of right now you have done nothing wrong. I wish we could have run some more laps together. I know it must be hard getting a connection in South Africa with people in Europe and the Americas.

Yeah it's a pity I got dc'd. We'll hook up for a test again this week. Just let me now when and where. I'll send a FR tonight.The connection is not that much of a problem. Its the network that keeps dropping off. I could be on for half an hour and get dc'd or be on for an hour and a half and no probs ... lol
Joys of a third world country ... :crazy:

I agree with an official ITCC testing lobby.
I run on a completely different time schedules to the rest of you. With my connection I can not afford to host a lobby. So an ITCC testing lobby is a brilliant idea.💡
I don't own the whole mic story, so that's out of the question for me ...:sly:

Did some few Laps Yesterday.
Tested:
BMW Z4, Honda CRZ, RUF, RX8.
=> all where in a same Area of Time

RX8 fastest and CRZ slowest for me. 58.6-59.2

This will be not a FWD Track so it´s normal that them are slower. Passing is a tough one here so will be tight.
184kph as Topspeed.
 
Wow those are really fast times. :scared: I can only hit those times if I run through the chicane. Now I know who to try and keep up with so I can use the draft.
 
Could we please run all the testing in Mel's as suggested, that would make joining in much easier as he is the only driver in the series that I have on my friends list.
 
Tsukuba normal or the Motorcycle version ??
Well didn´t dee any hint that the MC is being used => just went to Tsukuba.

PS There is no Tsukuba MC in GT5 but the part after the Dunlop Bridge can be driven and that would bee the MC version.
 
Well ok forgot about that Thread thx for the hint 👍
So will test tonight maybe MrMel is online => I´ll go in his Lobby

Don't focus too much on who is fastest and what your ultimate lap times are. It is after all a 15 lap race not a TT. Race and pit strategy, tire wear strategy and consistent pacing are the major factors in winning long races that include both tire wear and pit stops. Tsukuba is the type of track where a half dozen guys can be within 2/10ths or so in qualifying, but more important is how long you can make your RS tires last and what your average pace is throughout your run and towards the end of that run, because everyone will be fast in their first lap or two on RS tires.
 
What's the race distance for Tsukuba?

That's right. On my focus, I can run usually 4 laps under 1.01 on RS. I get 7 or 8 full laps out of them. On RM generally I get 6 laps in the 1.01 second bracket. Tsukuba favors the RWD cars that I have tested. I ran a RX-7 just to see what times it could do and without any major tuning it was running 1.00.3 which is 2/10ths off my best lap of 1.00.102 with the focus.

I would have a guess at maybe one lap extra per race than GVE, going by the times. Then again no Rolex after means more relaxed schedule

Thanks Damu ... I needed to know that so I can start working on my pit strategy ... lol
 
I am trying to figure out which tire compound to start on. It prob depends where I qualify. Lots of variables.

I qualified in meds last time xD
 
Surely Softs then switch in the pits as I did....
 
Redid my tests.
1:00.5-1:01.2 For the first laps.
RWD and MR cars have better Tire wear for me, but thats their general advantage.
Espacially the Rotary's are good here (RX7//RX8)
 
I'm going to be trying the Toyota GT86 as my car choice. It's not the fastest in a straight, but it's handling is very good. 1120kg 255hp should suffice.

👍 That car is amazing. I used it to tackle the FR seasonals.
 
Hmm, just started testing. 1:01.7 my best thus far. Still getting a feel for the chicane mind.

Mel, is there going to be a vote for where the races are being held or do you have the circuits scheduled on a hush-hush basis?
 
I'm doing a 59.9 on Racing Softs.

Sorry, I had to take the Lotus for a spin one last time.
 
Let me know when you guys are going to start the big test tonight. I will make as much of it as I can.
