Masi's gone quiet on this thread - think we should remove him from the drivers list :D

I'm thinking i'd like to get qualifying out of the way tonight but i haven't started practicing on Suzuka yet:dunce:

we will see tonight, as u say we can turn it into practice - Any idea what time Paginas?

Erm just depends what time i eat dinner was thinking around 8pm GMT to start up a lobby and then just see how it goes...

People are more than welcome to set up a lobby before hand to start practicing (must be in public tho) and post lobby number here.
 
I did some calculations on when to shift with the help of Scaff's Tuning Guide.

I used the torque curve in GT5 to calculate this and it only gives me peak value, so it's not 100% accurate.

Shift at 8000 rpm.
 
masi,

just to let you know i may have to miss round 1, this week i am working at an FIA race truck test at the Nogaro circuit in France. I was due to travel home tomorrow but we have had nothing but rain this week in France so now we must leave and go to the Jarama circuit in Spain in search of sunshine and a dry track! I now wont be home until sometime on Friday

If i am allowed to qualify friday evening (if a steward is available) that would be great otherwise i will have to miss this race

I will be back online later tonight to see if anything can be done

cheers

People cannot qualify after wednesday it will be unfair for others.... Wednesday is the last day to qualify.
However if you are back friday you can still race but you will be back of the grid as you dont have a time.
Does this help?

As long as there is spots not occupied by drivers that have an official qualy-time.

Just making it clear 👍
 
Centura, thanks for posting your set up. I seen two HUGE mistakes I was making. After some research and seeing that I am REALLY excited to get back in the cockpit and run some times. WOOOOT Race season starts Friday guys, I am stoked. Hope to make it in the first one. :)


FWIW

OwensRacing will be Qualifying on Wednesday.




Also agree 100% on allowing the rigidity for the simple fact it does little and is not able top be policed..

Besides it a freaking strut bar and rear shock tower bar......I got those factory on my Evo....well strut bar anyway. :) I got a couple GT500's that have sat cause I did not know you couldn't run that mod. I had to redo a few cars with breakin and all. That sucked....I had read it no power mods all chassis work was open to the racer. I seen those was like eh thats is chassis for sure.

Again, note my current stock NSX, Supra, GTR's, and Nismo Z do not have rigidity. Willing to put them in my share to prove....which surely we all are.

No problem. :) I have just started learning to tune, so it's mostly trial and error.

what about just borrowing each other cars just before and after the race as centura mentioned

I dont recall saying that.
 
just started practicing on Suzuka in Sennihnas room today. I have to say qualifying and the race will be tricky. :)


Qualifying because when your'e pushing the limits on Suzuka its easy to spin off. Certain curbs and grass is the main culprit.

The race because theres not much time to rest mentally on this track. I think there will be casualties come race day
 
Anyone else unable to log on PSN? Hope it will work for me soon, as I want to qualify tonight :-(
 
Might just be us Nordic players? I know Paginas is still in his room, or atleast was 30 min ago.
 
mine has worked fine all the time (denmark)
have just done qualy did a good first flying lap 2:05.742. on the second lap i was 3.5 tenths faster then before bu in spoon i ran wide and my lef rear tuched the sand and i was in a enormeous slide lost about a second there hoping to start 2nd friday:)

EDIT: Ok, when I try to join the room, it says "Request have timed out" just like it did, before I got kicked off PSN. 👎

Nice lap. I thought you would beat my time tbh, I think there are a few tenths still in there, my second lap would have been quicker but for missing the braking point into the hairpin.

Hoping for pole tbh, would be my first one since the start of the series, been keen to try out controlling the rolling start, hope in GT300 that it can be down to me for the first round of the series :)

Now I've said that though, someone will come beat me by a few hundredths or something :P

Grid after Tuesday session. Looks like it's going to get crowded tomorrow :)
 
Any estimates on what time qualifying will run tomorrow. I have a very limited time frame. I hope I will get a chance to qualify. I'm free for the race.
