Thanks for reminding me of my start in the pit stop... actually, that was pretty cool, I started with full damage and a long pit stop, but ended up on third place. In retrospect it feels like we've improved a lot since then.
Sorry mate. Will you get up at 5.30AM again to join us?Juicy Bob said:You bastard! I got all excited, then...

I'm voting for the Ferrari also. Trying to control that beast around the streets of Monaco sounds very enticing.

Mmmmm Vintage Ferrari Ass
Hope you guys don't mind a couple of queries. Started playing a bit of GT5 again recently and I'd like to get involved in some organised endurance (read: ones that involves pitting) races however I know I'm a long way off but with a mind as to hoping to eventually take part in something like this...
What are the limits you run with regards to the driving options and do you do a 107% rule or anything like that?

All aids off except ABS. And no, no one will ban you from racing if you suck at qualifying.
Metalmurphy said:
Does that include manual transmission only?
Angst said:
I don't do stuff like that! I'd probably ask to start at the back of the grid anyway to avoid such an incident! As I'm getting back into the swing of things I've just been doing a lot of time trials, trying to get to grips with driving again and learn the tracks. Gets a bit boring outside of a race environment though.
Maybe I'll see if I can join in a future event.

There's no way to limit manual transmission so no. But you'll be at a huge disadvantage if you go for auto.
Is there anywhere I can view the driver avatars? I've been wanting to make something like a spotters guide for a while now and I would love to be able to pinch the helmets from somewhere.
(For those who don't know what I'm on about. I'm also looking for someone with video editing skills to help out once we get back under way. PM me if you want.)

You mean like this?
(Black on Black doesn't quite work...)
They get taken as their own images which you can then export to XMB like every other Photomode image. So we could all take shots of our helmets in the Driver screen and send you the files (or even set those images to be 'shared', if that makes it easier) if you'd like.

Something like that, but obviously it would need to be more clear. I was hoping there would be assets I could use on gt.com but, alas.Juicy Bob said:You mean like this?

That's just cause it's still on the browser cache. It won't work for anyone else even in those first minutes.

Grab a bottle of Pinot Noir cause shit is about to get sideways. (I apologize, that is an awful joke)
Now the really difficult part, what color to paint my car for the race.

Looks like a good grid this week as well. Would be cool if UFRA made an unexpected return too.
I've updated the OP above with all participants that have registered so far and the rules for this particular race. I don't know the stock weight and BHP for the Ferrari, but will update with that tonight. During the race I will lock down the car to the Dealership specs.
I'll be in the lounge at around 21.00 CET tonight for a bit of practice, anybody is welcome to join of course, even those that can't be in the race.

Speaking of races... and since we have a good group of folks racing... can´t we start season 2 of SuperGT doing each race 15 days apart?
If we start in july 2nd, we would end the season on october 29th, which would be for the 10 rounds.
In the break weeks, we would continue these free for all cars fests that we are doing it.
What does the commitee thinks about this?
I´m still totally in for a second season, and since PSN is up and guys are still here... why not?

I'm tweaking my 512, guess I'll be in the lounge in a few minutes. Hope more people join us.

This! Ferrari's in Rome, come on it just makes sense.

Yeah, I don't mind I prefer Rome to Madrid by a large margin as well.
Also, before I tweaked the 512BB I could slide almost all the way through the tunnel in Monaco, holy shit. I'm gonna have to use it for the drift trials

Angst, you can put me on the grid.

So (hopefully) we're going to be at least 13 cars on Monaco? Damn, gonna be a fun ride.
Yeah grid looks very good! I put you on the grid gutterboy.
We will do 16 laps on Monaco, no mandatory pit stops. I need to do some tests on Rome, but race time will be 30 minutes there as well.
Sports Hard tyres and remember - no downtuned cars! You are allowed to use the engine limiter to remove BHP gained from oil change and break-in, but don't buy engine upgrades etc and then downtune the car. And it will be noticeable on replays, so I will be pissed if someone does this >_<
During practice yesterday my best lap was 1.53 - ashk did 1.50.xx I think. Business as usual in other words.

So can we buy all mods that don't effect PP? Like tranny and suspension.

Best I did yesterday was 1'51.4, after a lot of laps doing between 1'53 and 1'52.5. For me, it's all about the last half of the track. I was about .5 faster than ashk in the first sector, about the same in the second and then bam, a second or more down the drain. We both improved through the practice though
I have to practice the chicane after the tunnel, I still don't know the most efficient way to brake and turn there.
About the transmision stuffs, I would like to know exactly the differences between all the parts because I read something on GTP some months ago and with tail-happy cars like this it seems pretty important.

Remember to do some practice online / in your lounge as well and with grip reduction set to high. Quite a big difference from A-spec offline.f0rk said:1:54 was a good lap for me when I was racing the AI so looks like I'll be near the back

Oh no, I did tune the car, mostly gearing, lowering it and hardening the suspension a little. But I think that differential and transmission tuning could be very important in this case. Dunno, I still feel like I'm missing some traction
Anyway being faster won't mean everything this time either, it's way easier to make a big mistake here than in, say, Fuji. It's also harder to overtake and I think you lose more grip when the tyre is abused with Sports Hard than with Racing Softs, but I'm not sure on that yet.
