Nice practising with you guys, apologies I couldn't keep up! I need to work on the front end of that R32, a lot.
Of course I have a Miura. You think I would expect people to even think about it if I didn't have one? And supercars like the Ferrari California have been banned? Cool, good to know. I was unsure what type of car the league was trying to encourage besides diversity since the league organiser showed up in one. Is an Aston Martin too much of a supercar?weekend_warrior said:
I thought the Camaro SS was already banned, too.

Will definitely jump in some more practices!
Tried another car today (370z) and I could consistently match my R32 times, but it's still nothing on 1:14 from yesterday. There's a real big margin in performance it seems.

Oh. That kind of makes me feel better. Do you know what the quickest 'legal' time was then? I seem to remember the C63 lapping a 1:15... something?

wat... The best I can do is 1:17.2, consistently too... Really wish the spectator mode allowed me to accurately watching racing lines!

Angst said:That's why there are several videos in the op further up in this page. Data logger as well
Ah, thanks, I thought videos were only uploaded after races. I honestly can't see much difference in the way of lines, however the California looks so planted! I've been trying to tune out the understeer on my Z34 without using the use of rear wheel spin.
I conducted an investigation and that is what I discovered :
when you bought a car more the car is close to 414hp limit (like 380hp) more the car will be easier to drive and faster than car with 280hp tuned
for example
buy a lotus esprit (350hp) tuned to 414hp and buy a sub (280hp) tuned to 414hp, the lotus esprit will be always faster.
yesterday I tried the california and today I tried the BMW M3 07, I saw nab running in 1.14.1 in 3 laps with this car.
with my lancer my best lap was 1.14.8 after 15 lap with god speed.
I tried the BMW M3 07 (390hp) tune to 414 and I was able to run easily in 1.14

I am so on that M3 tomorrow...
I've just been playing about with the Yellowbird, mid 1:16's... It's just so much fun though.

I'm just curious how it performs in my hands because I can barely break the 1:16 barrier in the 370z.
Also I'm not actually racing because I suck too much. Just joining practice

Car is smooth man, you'll have no issue.Dibbz said:Just bought the Acura NSX '91 mainly because of how hard you guys say it is to drive. It' is not my car btw. I'm still deciding
Yeah, it's pretty nice, actually. About the same balance as the NSX-R, just a bit less grip, and less acceleration.Dibbz said:Just bought the Acura NSX '91 mainly because of how hard you guys say it is to drive. It' is not my car btw. I'm still deciding
Edit: Got the Aston down to a 1:16.9, but mid 17's is the best I can do reliably.

What other cars are banned?
Ok, since the California is banned heres the Track Preview videos with an allowed car. Its a 1.14.935, Ive done better during the online practices but I was in a hurry:
Cockpit + Data Logger
Replay + Data Logger
Cockpit + Replay
Cockpit

Also I gotta say I found the why MM was suddenly faster comment a bit offensive. What exactly are you basing this on? My previous races with the Z4, probably the worst car in the allowed this, or the underpowered NSX in the SuperGT. Its important that you know that the California during that race wasnt tuned properly, which is part of the reason why it was actually approved. The transmission was set to 300Kmh, which was giving me times actually slower then other cars. It was a bad overlook on my part and now Im paying the price (in point penaltys) for it.
And to clarify on why was the California approved so close to the race, so it doesnt leave anyone else surprised or suspicious... At the same time that we were spending all of our free time testing requested cars, I was also seeing all the cars I liked being banned. Then the mistake mentioned above with the California happened and I though I had finally gotten a car I liked approved.

Awesome, thanks. I'll try some of those, just to see what laptimes I do.

there's nothing offensive to say you were faster than earlier (practice) we had a lot practice enough to determine which drivers are the fastest for the race.
so I was suprised to see you in second place during the qualify session, that's it.

But my problem was front end grip, the rear end won't help?
I can understand that! :lolNiks said:Ok, since the California is banned heres the Track Preview videos with an allowed car. Its a 1.14.935, Ive done better during the online practices but I was in a hurry:
