^and that sucks for qualifying situations because someone has leave the track to change the setting back before the race...and loses their qualifying time in the process.

Since Rick is good, if nobody requests the need to adjust the tuning of their car between Q and Race Start then we will just leave the qualifying and grid set up the way it is.

Cool beans!  By the way I've noticed that during a race drafting still works with collision turned off; I've not tried the qualifying much as yet.  Normally in a public room I Q by myself so that I don't get held up by traffic.

proably best to drop 5-10 seconds behind the car ahead of you during qualifying so they don't hold you up.

A couple things here.  First, Rick doesn't race much anymore.  I actually struggled with the Lambo seasonal event.  I've been away from the game for quite a while and my already bad skills have rusted further.

Also, when I asked about using the same tune for Qing and racing, I wasn't aware that my changes had no effect on tire wear (or it was negligible at best), so it's not really as issue.

Also, also, with a two hour race, it really shouldn't matter where I, or anyone else, starts on the grid.  And if we start from a standstill, I'm likely to spin my rears, hit the wall, and end up last through the first turn anyway.

I would expect a rolling start.  Anything else is just asking for disaster on that banking  .....

Rolling start is not an option for Daytuna Road Course.

[AgentWD40_FL]

Its not?  Hmmm, then obviously I am mistaken ....

Personally I feel that it does make a difference, though I will admit more on some tracks than others.  I would also be so bold as to say that DRC is perhaps a "pass happy" track.

Anyway....just over 24 hrs!  I'm giddy with excitement!!!

I may not make this. To tell you the truth I totally forgot about it until Mr Pack sent his email. Things have been pretty crazy all year and especially since September so I can't remember shit. I have no tune, no mojo and not much chance of keeping up with you guys, er maybe just Rick,  though he is never as slow as he complains. I may wait till the next race if I don't drop in cold  at the last minute tomorrow.

I got maybe 5 laps of practice, and no strategy, so feel free to keep me company.

That's my point.  There are quite a few places to pass and several places where cars will likely take themselves out.  I'm not concerned with starting last.  With a standing start, you can easily make up a half dozen spots by the first turn because of guys running straight into the wall when the race flag drops and then a half dozen more if they die in the first turn, and there's always the bus stop.

While I'd love to be up front, with 67 chances for guys to die in turn 1 and in the bus stop, I don't see the start as even being relevant in this race.

[LooneyTuna]

I can only get 529 hp. Is this correct?

 Hey Looney i might be able to keep you company! I haven't practiced or been playing GT5 lately. We can always take turns being last, plus i mostly race for the heck of it. Come on out and run with us slow people!

No you should have more like 549 hp (I assume you're talking about the Camaro).  I think your car just needs to be broken in (B-spec race anyone?).  It looks like you'll be in good company for not doing a lot of preparation so I hope you decide to show up.  As someone that didn't do a lot of prep the Camaro is the best car to have!  (best handling).
