Damnit, I wish I'd be in the country for this, this looks like a great combo :(
 
The camaro is from our garage in gt mode right? Im sorta confused . i know its a dumb question but still need confirmation also when will the week 82 results come out?
 
I love Tokyo, but I don't have the Camaro.... gotta go to the Amateur American Championship to win it.
 
Yes Kraken it's the garage version with all mods fitted ;)

I'm not that fresh on Tokyo II at the moment, but it's one of favourite tracks so count me in 👍

There is an easy rule : as long as the car is not stock (and this one is fully modded) it can only come from our garage.
BTW, I hope I'll do better than on Grand Valley last week.
 
Jeeeez!

Only 2 days when I get back to SF on Friday night, to tame this kind of monster?!!!

Can't see me being very competetive at this one!
 
I wont be racing this one as I have other commitments at the moment :) Good luck all guys and gal 👍
 
I was going to sit this week out and try to get my personal life caught up.
BUT I can't resist a fully modded race car. 👍

T-Times leaderboard will be posted late today, but I won't be able to update it much this week. Need to work some overtime to get caught up on bills. :scared:
 
Nice one Kent. My favourite track. I am so in. 👍

Are you sure you run on Tokyo Reverse in a full modded Camaro Race Car ?
I'm not a fast driver and after 6 laps I'm at 32.2 / 1'08.5

I think he must have got something wrong.

I'm at 29.881 - 1'04.321.

Wait a minute.... Are you at the right place?

:p
 
As Ev0 says, I think you need to win the Camaro race car in the Amateur American championship. You can't modify a standard Camaro.

I've not got this damn car. If I win it then I'll take part this week, but if not, then i'll give it a miss.
 
After an hour of :banghead: I finally ran 1 clean lap. :irked:

Splits of the not so glorious clean lap were: 30.403 / 1'05.515

Leaderboard is up as well.
 
I don't yet have this car. So I did the Amateur American Champ. And won the champ. and won a Subaru - and forgot to save at the end of the last-but-one race.So I've got to do the champ. again!! D'oh!! :grumpy:
 
This car's understeer is killing me, any setup advice would be greatly appreciated. All I can muster right now is 31s and 1'09s, but the car just refuses to turn when it needs to! I feel like I'm playing Gran Pinball out there!

My settings suck too, but at least it kinda turns.

Off the top of my head (I'm at work):
Springs 15.5 both
Shocks 10 all
Ride height lowest setting available
I haven't touched the camber or toe yet
Sways are 7 both
LSD is 5 all
Downforce is max both
TCS 2 (with auto, maybe 1 with manual)
ASM 0

Take that for what it's worth....just about nothing.
 
Actually Tuff, that was worth a lot. I was spending too much time fiddling with the toe and camber settings, when all I really needed was more downforce!

30.9xx/1'07.0xx best sector times. Staying off the walls is proving to be exceedingly difficult in this massive car.

Are you well within your limits that you can drive looking in your mirror? :scared: I'm too busy looking forward. I panicked at the last corner too :(

LOL, I got on the gas too abruptly in the last corner myself and blew my only clean run. It was my fastest T2 by a tenth or 2, but .6 slower than my fastest lap (dirty). :crazy: 👎

I'll definitely have to try again, but after finding out how hard it is to run 100% clean, I thought I had better put that run in the bank.

@Ev0, glad I could help mate. 👍

Anyone want to share their settings? I'm really not feeling like fiddling with settings as it's a tough combo to just drive clean.

A girls gotta check her make-up every so often ;)

I actually was extremely close on the last bend and in full speed replay mode it looks like a touch, logger shows it as not a touch so I'm happy for now... until you overtake me that is :dopey:

Can't let Kelly and Dann have all the fun.
T1/ 29.551
T2/ 1:03.720
Lap is clean and saved. It is very easy to have a good run going just to throw it all away on that damn last left corner. :banghead: Thats it for me for a while. I'll keep an eye on this though. :trouble:
 
This was my first CLEAN run..I have alot time to shave off from my T1 til my T2.
T1: 30.949
T2: 1'08.477
