I approve of this avatar.

 

[i-Lo]

I have hardly played online and I was wondering if I could get a proper start here. I have the Suzuki concept and would like to join for either of the two days.

umm Im probably very late with this but.. just did some laps and this car sure is a handful...
I can picture a lot of us spinning out (many times).

Is everyone doing ok with it?

I didn't have an issue with it at all. It's very fun and forgiving car to me. Granted it is with soft tires so if that has changed then I'll likely feel very different about it.

Sure you're using the right settings? Racing Soft tires and some generous camber? We'll defiently be running some short practice races beforehand. With a full grid of cars it can be pretty crazy, don't want anyone to get caught off guard.

 

[Niks]

Granted I ran with the default setup, but yeah coming out of corners and applying gas was tricky. then again I use ds3. heh

Anyways yeah maybe its just me.

 

[dubc35]

The default setup is not very forgiving. It gets much better with tuning.

 

[i-Lo]

Send a friend request to the PSN ID "GT5NRL" and then send a private message to either "Angst" or "Metalmurphy".

Ah, thank you so much. Might I ask if writing, "want to compete in NRL, Suzuki concept race" would suffice in the PM?

 

[Risk Breaker]

Yeah, it does oversteer, the slides can be easily controlled but this car definitely doesn't drive itself.

And I dunno, the default setup a little modified is the fastest for me for some reason.

No I wasn't doing ok with it, I could run fast laps but wasn't consistent at all. Little chance I'd finish the race without spinning. It's already dangerous with fresh tires, and by fresh I mean first two/three laps. After that it's so easy to spin it by just turning in carrying a bit too much speed.

Anyway I'll miss the race this weekend but I sure want to see how it went for you guys

Just "i-Lo from GAF" is enough

Weekend_warrior also has access to the NRL account now.

 

[l2ounD]

HA! Ive been practicing on the stock tires! I was wondering why I was having a difficult time. Night and day difference with the racing softs.

Practicing on stocks I'd guess helps simulating on worn racing softs?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Wait, we're using racing softs? At least make it Hards lol

 

[weekend_warrior]

Wait, we're using racing softs? At least make it Hards lol

Nope, Racing Softs. I want lots of pitting, lots of lead changes, lots of battling.

 

[Polyphony]

My PS3... it's alive!!! Put me on reserve!

Glad to hear you got it working!

 

[i-Lo]

Count me in, I added GT5NRL and messaged metalmurphy

 

[weekend_warrior]

accepted fr's from i-lo and pax.

Everyone remember that the race is TOMORROW at 3pm eastern, not Sunday like it normally is.

Race starts in:

 

[dubc35]

Whoa, glad I clicked on the thread! I was planning on Sunday.

 

[Polyphony]

Same here, thought it was Sunday... hmm... this changes my plans a little. Will try to make it (last minute) nonetheless.

 

[paskowitz]

I thought it was Sunday as well. Hmm, I still "should" be able to make it.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Oh snap, gotta get some fast practice then.

 

[chillumchilla]

Something came up out of the blue, please put me on reserve.

 

[paskowitz]

Oh snap, gotta get some fast practice then.

I will literally have had no practice, if I even make it.

 

[Toxa]

today ? awesome

 

[2scoops]

Sorry guys, i'm having company this weekend so i won't able to make it today.

 

[Metalmurphy]

And I just found out my brother got tickets to the Porto game tonight so count me out as well.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I will literally have had no practice, if I even make it.

wtf, you're the one who was pushing for a Sat race!

If a lot of people can't make it should we push it back to Sunday?

 

[Risk Breaker]

Well, I personally prefer racing tomorrow than today, but I can make it any way.

 

[paskowitz]

wtf, you're the one who was pushing for a Sat race!

If a lot of people can't make it should we push it back to Sunday?

I did not know I was going to be doing shit today. I will do everything in my power to make it.

 

[i-Lo]

My PP is at 588 but I can't push the power beyond 276HP (all mods completed).

Are you sure it can be pushed by aother 7HP?

Also, I installed rear-wing. Hope that's ok.

I think I don't have max power either, it may be taking into account engine break-in.

rotfl, seriously, talk about shitty coincidences. Saturday is SO much better, but... free game tickets man!

 

[weekend_warrior]

Ok, we'll run the race today as planned. Depending on turn-out we may do a shorter version and re-run it tomorrow, still don't know how many people think it's on Sunday. So much confusion!

Race starts in:

 

[i-Lo]

I was wondering if no. of laps can be reduced a bit

 

[weekend_warrior]

We'll probably do 20 laps. It's a short track too, so the race will only be about 25 minutes long.
