I just bought and modified the cars and there's something that's bothering me. The Mitsubishi can't reach 385 BHP with the parts you specified, and even if you put a Racing Air Filter it only goes up to 383. The Subaru on the other hand goes all the way up to 389. Is that intended?

I think we should just roll with one make.
I've done some testing with both the cars on the Ring and my lap times are within 1-2 seconds of each other. Yeah, the Lancer has "only" 383 BHP with the upgrades, but with break-in it will go way beyond that. Everybody, please do a couple of laps on the Ring with each car and see what times you get. If there is a big difference we will go with a one-make instead. :/
Pardon my ignorance though, but I thought the GSR (Grand Sport Rally) and the Subaru with it's rally roots were both based on rally cars?
Of course the two cars are different, but they are also very much alike and when motoring programs on the telly test the Evo they almost always test it against the Impreza and vice versa. There is even a trophy in GT5 called "Arch Rivals"...
Yeah, I've tested them. With the Subaru I find that I can go faster through corners, but the top speed is higher with the Mitsubishi. Of course, the Ring is perhaps not the optimal track to test on as doing two exactly the same laps is pretty hard.Mush said:

Sounds good ashk.
If there is a big difference I won't stubbornly stick to the two-make format. If it's a 0.5 second difference on GVE though I don't think it matters, but maybe that's wrong?
Btw, is there really that much of a difference with 2 BHP though? When we did all the testing for the NRL we could pull of faster lap times in some cars with 100 kg more weight than with cars exactly on the right weight.

So I did some testing and the short version is Angst is right about everything
The longer version: I did 5 laps with each car around Grand Valley East to get a feel for them (I reduced the Subaru's BHP to 383 and increased weight to 1080kg) and the difference there was 3-4 tenths. Then I did 2 laps on the Nordschleife with each car (out lap + 1 timed lap) and the difference was 3 seconds. I felt I got a pretty decent lap with each car, they're not that hard to drive and easy to push.

I haven't raced with you guys in months, so as soon as you guys agree on an in-week practice run, can someone message me please? Thanks.

And it also comes down to what car you're most comfortable with as they have some differences in how they behave.

haha, to give another one, i´ll say i´ve been running like Nigel Mansell these last couple of weeks.
Fast lap
crash
fast lap
spin
fast lap
off track
And i´ve been whining a bit just like he did. No excuses this week, the cars look awesome and the track is great.
I'll be in the lounge in one hour for practice. Everybody is welcome to join of course.
We already have 13 cars on the grid and hopefully we can get a full grid this week.
Regarding the car, when you make a decision it would be cool if you posted a pic here. You don't have to make a decision until qualification start of you can't make up your mind.

alternatively you could upload your photos to picasa straight from the ps3 with the photo gallery program. No need for USB stick / external drive that way and you dont need to resize the photos on your computer (in the link you get from the site replace .../s800/blah/yourpic.jpg with the desired horizontal width in pixels)

I´ll check with EFJ1 tonight to see his status. Chimilosky´s account was activated, but EFJ1´s was not.

Are we going to make it an even split between the two cars? A big team race could be pretty cool.
Let me know if he's in and I'll add him. Only two spots left. UFRA and MM won't be joining us sadly.seattle6418 said:
I've changed the race start time. The headlights on the Evo are worse than on the Impreza and I don't want everybody to forsake it just because of that. Race finish will now be just before full dark.
One more thing: I forgot something after the Autumn Ring race. F0rk and gynoug79 were basically running the whole race side by side, with no major bumps at all. I was amazed that you guys managed to run that close for such a long time without any crashes or spins. Very nice and disciplined driving guys! And even though you both finished the podium looks you both had an awesome race.
Remember that everyone - you can have an awesome race battling for 8th or 9th, it's not just the podium that counts. (I have no hopes of a podium finish myself, but still have loads of fun).
If possible, that would be nice. But I'm not going to tell anyone what car they should use. It would suck if all but one was in the same car though, so if you can't decide which car you want - pick the one with least other drivers.MikeDub said:
I haven't decided myself yet... they both have their different ups and downs.
That reminds me, start posting the car you've picked (once you've picked one)
Yeah it was great. Gynoug was chasing Docretes when I caught up iirc, then I got in the middle. Gynoug and I pitted together around lap 16 before Docretes, and must have been together the whole of the rest of the race. I could never pull away when in front. I actually had a question about the first corner of the last lap, gynoug overtook me and we had a little bump. I didn't think it was a bad play at all, but he either made a mistake right after or let me overtake again. I didn't think there was anything wrong and he was being extremely generous, would like to know others thoughts because I may have overtaken like that before.
Me and G-Rom were running tight for the last few laps of GVS as well but as my tyres were going I went wide after turn 2 and lost it.

Put me down as a reserve. Although I'm still undecided as to what car I'm going to choose.

You have no choice but to participate now!
@f0rk and Angst:
thx and yeah it was a brilliant race, i love to race that way and think that light damage ruins the dicsipline for the most part. I know that i could make myself much wider through the turns and block the inside line but that asks for knowing the driving style of you others and as i am a newcomer here i better play it safe.
Concerning the last lap f0rk, i cant remember exactly but I think I pretty much cut the first corner of that tripple chicane with all four tyres and feared overshooting into you. Where i usually race that would have been a penalty for sure so i cut back....Hoping i could use the draft on the final straight to overtake you again.....which didnt work out. Which i dont mind at all because i got my fix and had that happy and content grin sitting in my face for the rest of the eveneing ! Thx !

Tried both cars last night.
I don´t have even the slightest doubt of which car i will use. It just feels much, much better for my driving style.
Are we already revealing cars? Or is it still a secret?
EFJ1 will be finishing his DTM championship over at GTP, so he won´t make it as a reserve.
This time i expect people to show up. Last week we were supposed to have 16 players but instead we got 13 and 12.

Well, sometimes things happen in life that has to take precedence over GT5. The three that didn't show up has either PMed me or posted their apologies here, so I don't feel upset over it at all. I only get annoyed if people say that they will join and then never, ever do it and don't even bother to post some excuse.
On that note, if you are on the grid and know for a fact that you can't make it, please let me know in advance so we can move up the reserves. Kind of hard to motivate people on the reserve list to practice if they don't know that they will get to race.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the LSD instead of the AYC on the Evo? By default it uses the AYC, so I had to go to the tuning shop and buy an LSD for it as it didn't show up in the car settings menu. But it's still not there even though the tuning shop menu says it's fitted. I hope I'm making some sense here

Good luck. When my 60g ps3 died last year I was lost for a little while. My new slim still doesn't feel as if I own it.Dead Man said:

Can't work this out either.
@Dead Man: damn that's a shame. Hope it gets sorted out. I'll keep you on the reserve list for now.
@ashk: I had to buy a second LSD and then equip that one to be able to use LSD settings. I can use AYW as well simultaneously. Let me check again to make sure.
*EDIT* turns out I was wrong. LSD doesn't show up in the settings. Weird?

Had the same problem.
Will check the tuning options tonight.
However, what i would like to see on this Lancer is a torque split adjustment, because the car feel and behaves like an FF car. It has 62% of the weight up front, and without adjustments, it just eats front tires.
Picture time (and no, I haven't decided on the Impreza). Click for 1080p.
And this last picture got me thinking, is this a rule we should try to stick to on the Ring?
Not the oil spill, but rather the "Overtaking on left side". Would this be possible as a Ring-only rule? The big text on top definitely applies! Something like - "Carefulness, not hindsight" or so in English.

Nice pictures angst.
I love Track Days. I just spent most of my evening racing at the ring with real time, time (lol you get me?)
It's just a great experience when you are trying to work out your car and there are other guys racing or just driving on the track. I do wish the PD add a real track day option to GT6 though. Something like you select a track in practice mode and you get the option to go online or stay offline. If you choose online you get put onto the track with real time weather and time that is currently on that track as well as other people who are practicing.
Enough of that I've got a nice video of me racing my brother at the track day today. I had the Subaru RM'd and he had the Evo RM'd. I'll post it later.
