Yes sign me up. Sound awesome. Some RM Honda's should be great.

I've raced Autumn Ring a total of 3 times I think and twice was in a Go Kart. A lot of people say it's a good track but I just haven't seen it. Maybe a bit more time with it and it'll grow on me.

I too was not a fan of AR either, last nights little session changed my mind completely. These cars are going go be a blast to race in a crowd, cannot wait! Seattle have you added the exhaust on? For some reason it is off by default.

I've added you to the grid. You're welcome to the races :) You do need to send a friend request to GAFSuperGT to be able to participate. Post here once you've sent it and I'll approve it.

On a related note, this car won´t turn! Such an understeering mofo... i had a better memory from my 380hp Integra (had to buy a new one).

At just 220hp, car is just weak and slow. Is it just me or others have noticed this as well?
Click to expand...
You need to tune it properly to get rid of the understeer. And as MikeDub says, remember to attach the exhaust... You should have ~238 BHP.

Good to hear you like it now. You're first comment in the lounge wasn't exactly jumping with joy - but then you realized you had rain tyres on :D


@Dibbz: I've added you as well

I really want to sign up for this but I'm having a problem right now and I can't seem to connect online ONLY with GT5. I can connect from the XMB no problem but as soon as GT5 boots immediately the game gives me the "You have been signed out of PSN" message.

I tried out remote race for the first time and I won (with the lowest classed driver, no less) and I guess somewhere in the middle of the race my PS3 dropped connection. When I go on my PC to check the results the status is stuck on lap 2 with the timer forever counting up.

Is there some way to 'abandon' this race via the PC?

Besides that I simply need to buy the Integra, RM it, and I'm ready to go? All pre-race prep will take place on the day of the race?

I noticed that no tuning is allowed that can change the PP. Just so I'm clear-that includes no changing of the downforce? I'm not sure if it will change the PP on an integra but when I modified the downforce on my PD Formula the PP increased 2-3 points.

GT can be a bit funny online maybe you need to reset your router or maybe clear your network cache in the options of GT5.

Regarding adjusting downforce I would assume that it's ok since RM'd cars would have aero parts and you're not buying any additional parts to increase your PP just altering what is already there. Although Angst would have to clear it up.

Race prep is on the day but it's always good to get some practice laps in before the day. Usually people will organize a session on here during the week.

On this car, i think it´s best to leave downforce alone.

Last thing it needs is more grip on the rear to induce yet more understeer.

I´ll try to attatch the exaust tonight, and see if toe settings can work it´s magic again.

Btw, Chimilosky is in.

Ok thanks.

Another thing though is I RM'd my Integra and it's only at 220hp. I didn't do the initial oil change trick because I wasn't sure if that was allowed but is there anything I can do to my car to bring it up to the 238hp limit that's been posted?

Also, for the sake of practice-should I leave the grip reduction to low or real?

Apparently there is a bug and your car doesn't have an exhaust of it, check in settings and that should give you the extra hp.
Grip reduction real.

Is there a way of finding how a car was tuned from the ghost data? I have a replay I did earlier and have no clue on what setup I was using, and now I'm 0.2s slower than it constantly after changing stuff around. I can't tell if it's the tune or a fluke lap.

Depending how you use your car, it might need a chassis and/or engine repair.

They don´t cost that much on regular models, but they are ultra expensive on the racing cars.

It´s helpful, my old Minolta was a piece of trash after using it non stop for b-spec, and after the refresh it´s like a different car.

Oh I did the oil trick when I bought it then limited it today, I guess that must be it. Thanks.

On GVS I'm around 1:09:5, so I guess everyone else who's tried is on 1:07s.

Yeah, all tuning using the already existing parts and added, non-PP enhancing parts is ok. Remeber to use Racing Hard tyres only though.

I'll be in the lounge shortly if anyone wants to practice.

And remember to practice online, not in GT5 practice as grip is different there.

@seattle: I've added chim to the grid, he has number 3 and should put that number on his car.

@basstosse: I've removed you from the grid, let me know if you can make it after all.

@handycrap: hopefully you've sorted your network issue by now, shall I add you to the grid?

*EDIT* Please note that we can't use BHP limit 238 BHP. It has to be 236 BHP (which for some reason translates to 237 BHP).

What´s that in traditional HP?

I always confuse the PS, HP, BHP and similar terms.

Yea I'm not sure what's going on...whenever I boot GT5 it kicks me off PSN and now I can't even access my account on G-T.com because it's under maintenance or something. As soon as it clears up I will let you know but you can add me to the grid under "tentative."

Also, why down to 236 now? I went into my options and strapped on my exhaust and it brought me to 238. Am I going to have to scale my engine power?

I did a test run yesterday (with dual shock) just to check tyre wear and other stuff, did about 10 laps and I was around 1.10 all the time, 1.09,6 I think was my best so it's going to be close. Some people will push harder and pit, maybe twice, though.

I might not be able to make it this Saturday. I've got to go to a friends wedding and might not be back till late. I'll try to make it but don't wait for me.

Ok, Dibbz. Just join us if you make it back in time.

60 laps Nascar on Daytona next week? :p I dunno, it might be a nice change of pace. Next week will be the final race before the summer for me as well.

I think that´s awesome, and after that we should do a 10 lap race in those same Nascars on Daytona ROAD, to spice things up.

About this weeks race, setups will be crucial. I already went back and fourth with the downforce settings, and nothing seems to make much difference.

At least brake bias proved to be somewhat effective.

Alright all of my network problems have been sorted. I've been doing some private practice online on GVE and have been consistently in the 1.10.5 area. I think my best was 1.10 dead.

It's hard to find an aggressive tune that won't be too aggresive... I think I'm going to hook up my DFGT in a little while and do some serious practice, I have to beat that 1.08'8! :p Gotta do some Autumn Ring as well.

PS: MM :( Hope he can come back, we aren't many ibéricos here in GAF :p

And I'm around .3 behind you, my best was 1:08.6 :D I guess even 08.0 could be done but it is definitely too risky for a race.

I've done a couple of laps on AR and I got to 1:21.0 from 1:22.6 in 3 laps... pretty sure there is a lot of room for improvement. Oh and the tyres will suffer a lot more I think.

Sounds good mush. Your car is number 10, remember to put the number on your car as well :)

To everybody: Please put the right number on your car, paint it in your desired colour and then share it in GT5, I want to get a pic of your car in the OP.

Alas, we have family coming over and I gotta grill, host, and all that.

That's awesome Juicy Bob, you've been added to the grid with #16, which is the number that goes on your car.

#16? Yep, that's right, we have a full grid:

There are two tentatives on the list though, so if more people want to participate just let me know here and I'll add you to the grid as reserves. It's a rare race where everyone shows up, so the chance of one or two reserves being able to participate is pretty high.
