great running with you today, Dude.  You and Keniston just started making some errors near the end, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it...

[PeyePete]

After the first race was aborted, and changing the Host, I was sitting in the pits waiting for the next qualifying to start.

When the screen came up, it was like Whaaaaat...the main race is starting, ah well, it fun to start at the back and spend 29 laps chasing the blue triangles, all good fun, thanks guys.

[EX_stream_tuna]

using the qualifying IMO is a little confusing when combined with a pre-race before main race.  I believe the reason another pre-race was not done was because we were late getting started after the room needed to switch hosts.

You input on whether to use or not use the qualy feature is welcome of course!

I wanted to do a pre-race, then race so that if you didn't like your tune in the pre-race, you'd still have a chance to change it.

Here are some pics I snapped of a race from a few weeks ago:

Specs posted for this week.  HOpe to see you there!

[DudeTuna]

Awesome, Suzuka and a tuneless Rocket. I'm there.

[EX_stream_tuna]

I can make this, this Saturday. I look forward to seeing you there.



Attn Rick, it's Daytona Road Course!

Damn...didn't see this until 3 minutes ago.

This year's event of the same overall format is now posted.  As you may have noticed in other threads, there still seems to be an issue with tire wear & pit stops.  We are doing our best to determine what to do for these settings before Saturday's race.  Any testimonials about how wear is behaving are always appreciated!

I hope to see a lot of you at the race this week!

also... RICK, the race is at DRC and there's a vette listed!!!!

NOTICE:  Please read these items

Spec Change:  WING/AERO now optional.  Use it if you feel you need to or prefer to use it!

Setting Change: Tire wear will be on FAST.  (Pit stop bug appears to not be a problem, but we may still encounter glitches.  Hopefully, if we do, everyone is affected similarly.)

Aero Tips:  Ok everyone, Aero parts WILL be allowed for the race at Daytona this weekend. Please take into consideration that adding a wing to your car will slow your car on the high speed sections of the track. Please understand the effect of the "flat floor" option for most cars. This option helps your car handle better in the corners by creating a sealed cushion of air under the car, creating more downforce on the car. When adding the flat floor to your car, take a look at the Performance Points with and without the option. In the M3 for example, the flat floor costs you 25 Performance points, in the end this will slow you down tremendously on the straights because you will have to lower your HP to meet the PP requirements.  The flat floor may also decrease top speed for aerodynamic reasons.

Choose wisely

I am going to try and make this and I'm glad you have decided to keep pit stops and tire changes. Can I trouble you for a lap time aim for? I see you have some times posted thank you.

1'48 to 1'46

I'd love to get in on this. But I think your actually running the race at the same time the real race will be on fox.


Aside from that who do I need to friend now to get in on these?

[EX_stream_tuna]

Please befriend "GT_Saturday" on PSN and that will get you into our races!

And... our race is about two hours, so that leaves abour 22hrs of the real race to still watch

[DudeTuna]

Awesome race ex. Well done all. That was a very fun GTSaturday's race indeed. I was lucky to find a nice tune at HaB for the Viper.

I tried the CTR2, V12 Vantage and the Viper. The Viper was 2 seconds quicker than the CTR2 and 1 second quicker then the Vantage.

I wanted to take the CTR2, but it was way off the pace for me.

Well done everyone and I still can't believe where that 2 hours went. Wow Good Times All!  

While the CTR2 was off pace and the front tire wear may have actually helpe. The fuel consumption needs to be checked. I did 14 to 15 laps in Viper, I believe ex did 17 or something laps in Vette.

Again, thank you all. that was a very intense and exciting race. Good Jorb

[BakedTuna]

Glad you enjoyed itand shared that enjoyment. That should be helpful to their series. Congrats to ex sounded like you got the victory. Early in the week thought I might make it out but towards then end I knew schedules were not in my favor.

You would have had fun and a podium spot perhaps too. See you next year.

I posted this info from the Sat race over at PSN Forum event thread, tguns16 was asking how the race went.
Just in case anyone needs some feedback on the tire wear / pit stops.
...

I did a quick run through of the replay, jotted down lap times for DudeTuna and ex_stream_tuna, also my tire wear prior to pitting.

 

Fastest and slowest between pit stops, throwing out any obvious off track laps.
