11 cars with a single driver

TheAzRim - GT-R Calsonic Impul Super GT, '08

oh sorry for the confusion mush, i wont have my own team. Seattle will be the head racer for 2k runners. me, reilo, btothekw, and nightz will be reserve if need be. if you still need one more team. 2k runners can always splinter off into two teams if need be. i'll just need to see who's willing to commit fully on that schedule.

Well, it just so happens that I can give you another car to use, if you wish. I was talking to mclaren777 on PSN before (yes, I know, boo/hiss etc) because he had sent me a message previously stating he would like to compete once his ban was lifted. I was going to save him the Yellow Hat Supra, but since he would like to drive with mil6es & the Epson NSX, I can give you guys that car instead.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Weekend_Warriror, I was admiring our handsome machine in the dealership last night. I am currently working toward my 4.5mill buffer so I can buy that PD F1 the second it appears...if ever! and then I will be picking up or mean green machine.

I think we need a team name and banner.

Agreed. I'll try coming up with a few ideas.

@ Mush- I'm still a little confused about how the season works. You said 8 races for the season? How do we decide who gets to race the best events. Like Nurburgring. I'm sure me and Gutterboy both want that race. How about if not enough people show for a race? Could we both race and maybe the average of our finishes is what's scored?

 

[AdvanS13]

i'm down for a driver spot. preferbly with a usa co-driver for ease of time diff. communication? anyone.

I'm leaving that bit up to you. How ever you decide who races is none of my business. Rock Paper Scissors, Chess, MLG SWAT, I don't care, just get it done.

The races are expected to be around 30 minutes, but that may change. The amount of laps will depend on the track.

 

[GodofWine]

Can I recruit a future GAF member as a co-driver if need be? He has been on the waiting list for 8 months here :lol


C'mon, no one wants to drive the old jalopy with me?

if ufra is too busy cooking and cussing peeps out i will codrive with you

 

[UFRA]

I´ve only played online for a couple of minutes so far (been busy with GT life), but can we take upgraded cars online? Doesn´t change automatically to stock once you enter online?

Not exactly sure what you're asking. Are you asking if you modify and put upgraded parts in your Super GT car, will the parts go back to stock when you go online?

No, all upgrades carry into online races. That's why we need to leave the Super GT cars stock. Whatever you do to a car in single player will be copied 1:1 when you bring the car online.

Advan if you want to be my partner that's fine.

By the way Mush, as someone else brought up, I think we should allow people to use any of the 3 tire compounds (hard, med, soft) available to increase racing strategies. During my test yesterday, I did about 3 laps at Suzuka with the stock hard compound tires. The tire wear happened faster than I thought (maybe partly because I spun out a few times). So even in a 30 min race with hard tires, I believe pit stops will be necessary.

However, if you allow all 3 compounds, it really will make pit strategies necessary. I was already thinking of going with a 2-stop strategy for the races to maintain an advantage of fresh tires, but that strategy works best if you can use soft or med tires. No sense in changing hard tires so frequently.

Just a suggestion.

mush, confirmed...sign me up with UFRA. damn, now i need to save after blowing bazillions on my gallardo.

 

[UFRA]

Woohoo! Now we need a team name.

Also, go ahead and PM me your PSN ID so I can add you later and we can plan things out as needed once events start getting closer.

Cool, I'll just need your team name and credit card number.

Do you accept American Express?

By the way, let me make sure I understand the time correctly. I cilcked your handy time chart on the OP. I see it had the time fixed to 10:00AM Wellington Time. I assume this is the time of the races, and all other times in that chart are the equivalent time in different zones?

So I used the Chicago time to understand the races will be at 3:00PM my time (Central time zone)?

Is this correct?

mush, should make a graphical map for us. i'm west coast, i believe it is 1pm?

 

[UFRA]

Ok, I gotta take care of some stuff here at home, I'll be back in a little while. I'll try to think of some team names, Advan. By the way, is your name based on the same Advan sponsor that's on our car, or is it different?

I just noticed tire restrictions in the OP says unrestricted. Does this mean that all 3 compounds of racing tires are allowed?

Oh - and now that damage is available in 1.03 what damage setting will this league use?

(sorry, between here and the NRL thread I ask a million questions)

 

[UFRA]

Also Mush, Advan and I have decided on our team name.

Foxtrot Oscar

So you can officially list us in the OP now since we're all sorted out for the #24 GT-R.

I'll PM you our PSN ID's so lurkers don't harass us.

Over the course of the last 24 hours, we've managed to double the number of full teams entered. Good job everyone!

Not my era, sorry.

Looking forward to the start of the season.

 

[AdvanS13]

[seattle6418]

This will make us race on the edge everytime.

One mistake and you´re done. No pussy league.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

[Salacious Crumb]

[Mush]

It's the class below the cars we're using, though. Maybe next time?

Yup, that's cool. Just give me the details for who's driving the Autech Motul GT-R and the YellowHat Supra.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Gutterboy, I made a team name and whipped up a banner. Let me know what you think.

I just bought that car for the other GAF Racing League events. Just tried it out on the Top Gear track now. It's fantastic.

I should be able to pick mine up this weekend.

We need a team name... we should try to do a brainstorming session while running a few laps to set up the car online.

 

[ghostofsparta]

I am at level 13 now and have a little over 300 grand. I hope I get to buy the car before the 18th.

hell ya!...without clicking the youtube is it the RE Amemiya FD? im up to around 700k i think. still saving for our team car.

no oil change trick right?

i want to make a team banner!

Yup, that's indeed the RE Amemiya FD (the yellow one). It's also a very reasonably priced race car at only 500,000. I definitely recommend it for our other league, especially since we can't use the blue RE Amemiya since it has "unknown" stats.

Fantastic job on the banner!! It's awesome.

Also, I asked about the oil trick a few pages ago and Mush said he thought it was ok. I already changed the oil on my GT-R, and it went from 479HP to 502HP.

 

[GodofWine]

Are these cars competitve in the Expert and Extreme Races??

also

Can these cars be modified at all in the game...I know this league is run it as its bought (plus oil change)...900,000 is a hard pill to swallow...give me a silver lining that this car will earn some of it back.

You have to buy a GT Car for one of the extreme races anyways. Besides, they're the best ~500hp cars in the game, fantastic to drive. But it just won't compete with the Toyota 7's and 787B's of the world.

At least is has its place..figure in Bspec its needed for a race as well...oh god it hurts to spend 900 of my 975 on one car....but I guess it'll win back half that?

 

[Dibbz]

Just found this thread. Id love to have the

Fairlady Z Xanavi Nismo Super GT, '06.

Does that mean I'd be partnered up with Angst? How do these teams work? Just like in F1? Or are we taking go's or something?

 

[Juicy Bob]

So, I'm about to buy my ARTA NSX. What's the procedure? I buy it, change the oil and then not touch it at all?

Basically, you're taking turns for each race. So you might decide to do the first four races, and then swap with Angst for the rest of the season. Or something like that.

Pretty much.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Pretty much.

I assume we can buy tires and start tweaking the suspension settings right?

 

[Mush]

You can use any Racing tires you want. The only settings you can tweak are the ones that car came with, so Suspension, LSD, Transmission, etc.

WELL GEE THAT SOUNDS SWELL MUSH. HOW DO I DRIVE CAR?
