I really want to join the league and do one of these races with you guys, but I'm a little nervous about my skill level.

Will you sign me up for the Miami race? I'll put some practice in so I can race clean.

Same with me, never really raced online but I do want to start. I doubt I'd be all that great. But it'll be fun.

I'd like to sign up for the Miami race.

 

[Niks]

Did I went wide on some turns? absolutely.
Looking back maybe I was a bit hotheaded about choosing the wrong tires, and went a bit hot into eau-rouge a couple of times. Of course my intention was not to actually pass the car in front, but I guess rules are rules.

Dash I think its good you pointed those faults, after all rules should be enforced.
I guess you guys can give me a penalty for next race or something.

Would be nice to have a race marshall every race.
Anyways, sign me up.

Don't worry about skill guys, as long as you race clean everyone is welcome. Not everyone here is equally fast, so more likely than not you'll be battling someone during the race. Also, organised races like these is a great way to get better at driving (if you practice of course), so if you stick with it you'll certainly get better.

 

[Dash Kappei]

I'm glad that you actually understood where my heart was and what my intentions were (not throwing rocks). One classy driver as much as a classy man, way to go Niks

Looking forward to see you perform in the next race!

edit: lol, "were" not "where" of course

Welcome guys!

Remember the friend request to GT5NRL. I'll accept it sometime this week. Good luck

I'm not that great myself, and i've only done a few races with everyone, but i can tell you from my experience that it's clean and honest racing and loads of fun!

 

[iamcenok]

Thanks for the welcome fellas. I'm quite excited. I tried practicing with the Ferrari, and it indeed is a bit tail happy. I wish I had bought the Lambo when I had a chance to, but I find myself enjoying keeping the ass out.

Haha It's going to be interesting grip racing.

As I've said to thepatriot/paskowitz I'll be back on the 22nd (hopefully) since for the 15th I have Milan's derby to watch ^_^

 

[paskowitz]

Pics!

 

[weekend_warrior]

welcome back Pask!

 

[Angst]

Welcome back paskowitz! I was afraid you got permabanned

I've signed you up for the race btw!

Did a few laps in the F40 - what an awesome car! Tail happy as iamcenok said, but such a fun ride. Need to test the RUF and Lambo as well. Also need to address WW's suggestion about capping the cars at 500 PP or so.

As this week's race will be slightly shorter than usual, I suggest that those that want to stick around after the race and we'll do a 2 lap Nürburgring race as well (full weather and night cycle). I'll pick one of the recommended cars for that race.

I'll be practicing in the lounge tonight at ~8.00 PM GMT. Anybody is welcome to join of course. I'll make sure to check the NRL account for new FR's before I fire up the lounge.

At first I thought I was to... It is good to be back.

Angst... Drag races on the new circuit are required for the race on the 22nd. No exceptions.

 

[chillumchilla]

Sign me up please.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Why the short race?

 

[Angst]

Why the short race?

Yeah, about that... I set # of laps before trying anything and we'll probably up the laps to 20 to make it a ~30 minutes race.

 

[asclepio_gtr]

I'm in too!!!

 

[Angst]

Tyre selection is now Sports Medium or less.

I think I'll not use a PP or BHP/KG limit. The RUF is fast, but eats through tyres at double the rate of the other cars. But that might just be me, I'd appreciate input.

I did 5 laps with the RUF after you left and the front tires were still around 75%, the rears were even fresher. I think the PP speaks for itself, 543 for the RUF and 499/530 for the Lambo/ Ferrari respectively. The RUF has a near 140 HP advantage over the Lambo. The Ferrari is also +70 hp but is much harder to drive.

 

[Angst]

I guess you're right.

Limiting the cars to 500 PP is a bit much IMO, so I propose we limit them to 515PP. PP isn't exactly scientific and I think we'll have a pretty balanced field this way.

 

[Gynoug79]

Dont know if there is already a list to put me on but i am IN

For the bolded: is everything off limits? Or are we allowed to make certain changes? I'm just wondering if this is bone stock. The PP limit is what throws me off.

I'll set up the lounge with the option "No Tuning Allowed". This means that you can't tinker with anything on the car - except engine limiter. If you try to enter the race with a changed brake ratio or a new LSD the game won't let you.

Thanks for clearing that up, I've never raced online with GT5 (in case you can't tell).

I didn't want to limit PP because I don't think the F40 should be nerfed compared to the Lambo, yesterday Toxa called it "undrivable". The RUF has so much more HP that making a limit near the F40's 480 should be enough the level the playing field.

It's so much easier having one-make races.

 

[Toxa]

with sport hard the F40 was awful, it was more about drifting than driving xD with sport soft it was great

 

[Polyphony]

Welcome back pask. I can't make it this weekend, once again. It sounds like a very interesting race.

I am having trouble acquiring the CTR and 25th Anniversary Coutach, if any one had a spare gathering dust in their garage please gift me. (same psn id as forum)

Do you still need the CTR?

 

[paskowitz]

Angst, please put me on as a reserve. I may not make it this weekend.

Please put me on reserve, I might be able to join.

I am sick and won't be able to race today Was looking forward to this one too

 

[Metalmurphy]

crap. My CRT2 has rigidity improvement :/

 

[Metalmurphy]

Can someone gift me the CRT2? Or, can I use it with the Rigidity improvement?

 

[Niks]

I think its ok MM.

I have done zero practice, which car is the easiest to drive?

I think its ok MM.

CRT2 has really bad brakes but i still get faster times then the f40. F40 is alot more fun though. Havent tried the contach

 

[Gynoug79]

Got unexpected company so i am not going to make it tonight, sorry.

 

[Metalmurphy]

1.34s with the CRT2
1.35s with the F40
1.36s high and 37s lows with the Countach

 

[Toxa]

we need paskowitz

 

[paskowitz]

Sorry I won't be making it. I made a promise to myself that I would finish my cover letter (applying for jobs) before I do anything else.

 

[Polyphony]

D'oh! I missed the race by a minute. There was an unexpected turn of events and I was able to get in front of the TV just in time, but I had done zero practice and my cars were not tuned according to the regulations.

There's only one race?

We're at 10 laps of 15, and it's been only 15 minutes. FASJ in the lead with the fastest lap as well.

Dibbz pitted from 2nd position, but is now climbing back towards the front with fresher tires. I think he's the only one who pitted.

asclepio's front tires are destroyed but he keeps on going. And by destroyed, I mean I can barely see the blue line anymore.

 

[Metalmurphy]

i think we cn do one more

 

[weekend_warrior]

Guess I missed the race again, I shouldn't even bother signing up when I know there's a football game on.

 

[Polyphony]

Re-joining bugged lounge, but it says "Please retry after a while"

Works now.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Room bugged out. Can't join anymore

 

[ashk]

Got disconnected again. And it was just starting to get interesting

BTW this race was a good example why I prefer one-make races. Without proper balancing you get situations like these where one car is 3 seconds faster than another. The only reason I didn't get bored was because I had to keep pushing like hell just to keep up.

 

[Polyphony]

Nooooo! We were doing 3 laps around Nordschleife with the full day/night cycle. The first lap was horrendous for me, I was playing with a controller and had zero feel for the car, overshooting every single braking point. I went in too fast on turn one so decided to fly across instead of hitting anyone's bumper. By lap 3 as night time crept in, I felt more confident and right when I caught up to MM and Dibbz, D/C...
