In GT5P... It was stock.. on S2's or less... everything else was non-changeable ...
Kept everyone on the same page... but that was their TT's.  Free runs were whatever you wanted
within the limits of the PP/tire/track/car restrictions. Not all of these applied to every event.
Damn... complications...

Get best times offline, then meet in a lounge to "crown the whiners winners".

I am convinced my lounge is faster than a pubkic lobby.
The other day I ran a Super Laggera at HSR in 3 races of 8 laps each.
I am running it exactly the same way as I did then.  No Aides of any sort... yes Brin... Even No line :palm :lolz
I can take the final turn 146 - 147. It will hold that speed through the turn.  I couldn't hold it above 137 -138 the other day.
Turn 2 is the same kind of thing several miles an hour faster.
No braking involved just drive into the final turn and the extra speed bleeds off.  More of it did in the on-line lobby than in my lounge.
Plus I'm running close 1 1/2 sec. faster per lap.  Yup, I'm a believer.

How about every person here gets to pick one combo. Any car /track/tire they choose? No mods,this way the list won't get crazy long and maybe in a month or so everyone gets to pick a new combo

  :rofl    That put a huge smile on my face Infinity.  Thank you!  I've said it before, I think you are the king of widgets.  You always seem to find just the right ones to fill in the word blanks.   :)

Yes, no limits and the list will get huge very quickly. With over 1000 cars to choose from (of which only 180 are worth a damn) and thousands of possible tuning variations there is absolutely no way to compare the data in a bench thread that is useful.

So... I'm thinking a bench thread with limits is just a time trial. We should do a time trial series. Rick ran a great series for us in Prologue. Someone has come forth and volunteered to do it here. I'm going to lock them in a cage and let them fight it out. :)

I think it makes much more sense to pick a specific list of cars that can change periodically and run them on a specific list of track that can change periodically. Keeps it fresh and keeps it manageable.

And run on S tires.

For myself, I prefer lap times that don't go far above 2 minutes, although I won't rule out the long tracks. It's one thing to blow a lap and know you're only 30 seconds from the finish line to start again. It's another if you've got 4 minutes left on your lap. :)

I'll stop with the suggestions. Our volunteer may have ideas of his own. Good ones.

Well as I said before, there was always some tracks where I didn't use it.  It's just that when running online most don't allow lines, even when They  really need one.  :D   So over the past  month or more I decided just go with it. If I could run Nurburgring without a line (and I did), then why not the rest.  I don't really think it has altered my times much.  The tracks I've run at, the laps have stayed pretty much the same.  It's gotten the point where I don't even notice it's off.
c'est la vie :jp

Well, that wasn't much fun. Rick seems quite content to simply run in a Time Trial without having to manage it. I thought there would be moar blood. :)

I must have missed something.  I'm happy to do whatever anyone wants.  I haven't said 'no' very often on this site.
