How about we go balls out for this event and uncork these babies? I can understand limiting the power for oval races, but a road course?
Come oooooooooooooon 8)

I'll re-test it, but as I recall from my initial tests (old physics) their was a 5 second difference between the slowest and fastest cars. Not to mention, I'm trying to match the real world as close as I can or is plausible in game. Even though these cars really did produce 1000+ horsepower, the cars were always de-tuned down to 700 - 800 HP for the race, for reliability and fuel economy reasons.
-
I've decided I'm going to re-balance the cars closer to their stock weight and HP (after oil change) and am aiming for a January date sometime around the Daytona 24 hour race.
Also I think I finally know what I want to do for the Road Course series. Basically Daytona and LeMans will be endurance races in the two hour range with the rest running in the 30 to 45 minute range. Here is the track list.
1. Daytona Road (see above)
2. Fuji GT
3. Spa
4. Le Mans 09 chicane
5. Nurburgring GP/F
6. Suzuka
7. Monza
So at this point, before I get too deep into testing, is there any interest in this series? Also how would you feel about using weather change tracks, but set so there is a slim to none chance of rain, but at least keep rain as a possible surprise element?
-
Yeah I'm in.
-
I'm in as well, date and time permitting.
-
Looks sweet, count me in.
-
if i can make it i'll be there
-
I've updated the front post with the rules.
This series will be formated more or less the same as the oval series. About one race every 3 to 4 weeks, with 7 rounds and each race lasting about 30 minutes and it looks like we'll still run on Wednesdays.
Based on my testing it looks like all the cars stock are pretty close to each other.
Although it is a series with points, its not necessary to commit to the full seasion. Any one who wants to race can come and go as they please.
Still I would like to take names of those who are interested. Also I was thinking we could kick things off the week after the real 24 hours of Daytona. How does January 30th sound?
-
I'm in and right now I will take the 905 again.
-
I'm in. The date is fine, now I just need to nail down a car.
-
They are all different this time around. Even after testing, I'm still not sure what I want to run.
Also at least for a day or two there are still some Group C cars in the OCD.
-
As before I am in, car undecided at this point.
As to the track line up, if the original post has the correct list could you modify another post of yours further down that has a different list, to avoid confusion? One lists Le mans with the chicanes, the other no chicanes. :P
-
Oops ;D
-
Oh a Wednesday, as for now, I'd like to say I'm in!
-
I've been giving it some thought and if there is an objection, I'm going to remove the same car for each race rule. Considering that unless there is high demand for another this is probably the last series I'm going to do with Group C so why not leave it open to run as many different Group C cars as possible.
So given no objections your welcome to change cars for each race or stick with one car if you prefer.
-
I know it takes time to do this but...
I really haven't thought about picking a car yet because you haven't posted the horsepower levels.
-
There is nothing to post. All cars stock weight and HP with oil change. :)
-
lol, missed your sneaky edit yesterday!
Thanks :-X
-
Oops again. I forgot to delete the "HP limits coming soon" from the front post. Its fixed now.
-
XJR-9 LM please .....
-
Got some laps in @ DRC the other night with dlrws6. 1'31's seemed to be a decent consistent time. It will be very difficult to one stop, two is probably optimum.
-
With stock turbo right?

Stock everything, but you can tune what it comes with. I ran the Merc and dlrws6 ran the R92CP. Both are good. I tried the 787, but @ DRC it was lacking in speed across the start finish. It was about 10mph slower for me.
-
Thanks Dude! Testing the R92CP and like it. Might try the series if nothing comes up.
-
Thanks Dude! Testing the R92CP and like it. Might try the series if nothing comes up.
Also, don't forget. They all use their stock weight and horse power. So oil change and make sure your power limiter is 100% / added weight 0. :)

Hmmmm.... I love me some Group C.
Put me down as a maybe for now... car TBD.
Also, roughly what time will the races start?

I think dlrsw6 was planning on Wednesday nights. I mentioned trying for Fridays on Tuna Cup off nights, but I see now there is no gap in Tuna Cup races.
Also, also, it was mentioned a different car could be selected for each race.
-
9pm eastern on Wednesdays. DRC will take a little less than an hour. Le Mans will be the same and the other races will be about 30 minutes, although I have not done a lap count for them yet.
Although it is a series and points will be awarded I wanted to make it as open and racer friendly as possible. Switching cars is ok, tuning is ok but no mods. Run as many races as you like points don't matter, but I will give the points leader at the end of the series a 1000 ticket.
Also this time, unless a dedicated series comes along I'll move things from my lounge to TunaHost.
Also, also, I ran a full length arcade race today, running mostly 1.32s and 1.33s with the occasional 1.31. I did it with only one pit stop but I would have liked to make two. I found after about 50% wear the tires drop way off. Tire wear may be a big factor in this race.
-
Does one have to sign up, or can I just show up. I miss running those cars and with the less than 1 hour race, I will try my ass off to make it. :-[
Never mind... Put me down for the 905.
-
R92CP for me, if i can make the race.
-
Brindle 905 and Grumpy R92 Got it.
Also I love watching this old stuff. ;D

Hey dlr, I didn't see any mention in the OP about driving aids. I'm fine with whatever you choose but since these cars are pretty insane I figured at least ABS and TC would be on the table.
What say ye?
-
That's pretty much in line with my thinking to make the races as accessable to people as possible feel free to use the assists. I am not going to restrict them.
-
Damn, all aids? That seems a bit extreme man :P
-

Join me with just some ABS. :)
-
I'm not using them except ABS set to 1. :P I usually only turn ABS off for anything NASCAR and offline license tests.
-
I haven't really spent any time trying to find a car so put me down for the Merc since it's the one I already know.
-
I haven't done much practice (planning to tonight) but I will probably use the R92CP or Sauber "silver arrow" :)
-
sign me up for the Sauber C9
GERMAN POWAR!
-
So far looks like i will make the race. Also being blind in one eye and can't see out of the other, what time does the race start? ;)
-
Front post updated with time and car choices.
9pm eastern. Thats funny I thought I had it on there. ???
I'm going with the 787B. It does not have the power of the other cars but its a little bit easier on tires and I seem to spend less time spinning out. (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
-
Still haven't been in the car yet. :(

I recommend you wait until just before the race.
-
I may not be able to make it tomorrow. My Dad is very sick in the hospital and may go at any moment. Myself and my brothers have been taking shifts to be with him and depending on his condition at any given moment I don't know when or how long I will be there with him.
I need the diversion and can't think of a better one that the race even though I haven't practiced or tuned my car for a road course.
I should add that my Dad is almost 90 and is ready to move on, he's been sick for a while and it would be a blessing to ease his pain.
Don't wait for me but I hope to be there. Good luck everyone and I hope to see you there.
-
Sorry about the news, good luck all around LLF.
-
Thanks Phreak, I appreciate it.
I just got in and am very disappointed that I missed the race. I was looking forward to it.
I hope everyone had a good time and I will try to be there for the next one.
-
A big thanks to dlr for setting up this, it was fun!!! Also a big thanks to Dude for letting me win the race, it was very nice of you!
-
I forgot all about this... :(
-
That race was a lot of fun! Who would have predicted that the 3 podium finishers would cross the line within 4 seconds of one another?! Looking forward to the next one :D
-
Great racing everyone, nicely done Grumpy. I need to find that gas can, I know I saw it around here somewhere.
That was some very intense racing those cars are so quick. Great spec dlr, very good call.
-
Thanks, I'm looking forward to the next one myself. I've been thinking about it the up coming schedule and with Group C Indy being next week and the oval free for all finale the following week, plus Daytuna and all the regular goings on. I think the next round won't be until March. The good news is I'm thinking starting in March to possible run the rest of the races on a bi-weekly schedule. If every one prefers the monthly races I'm willing to reconsider but I've got a few other ideas that I'd like to move on to, assuming I have the time to flesh them out.
In the mean time here are a few videos that'll make you wish the sounds in GT5 were as perfect as Kaz claims. :copz:
The Sound of Audi 4/8 - Audi 90 IMSA GTO (Der Klang der 4 Ringe) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LUEo27faPU#)
Mazda 787B - Le Mans (wonderful sound) (HD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az39eqLIbyU#ws)
Legendary Group C Cars Spa Classic great Sounds Porsche 956 Sauber C11 Lancia LC2 Gr.C Porsche 962 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvBu1E2v6C4#ws)

iRacing (also not usually known for good sound) has been making a few changes to their sound. One thing that they've done is: All cars now have flex modeled in their drivetrain math, instead of being perfectly rigid. This gives all kinds of subtle and interesting audible and physical engine rpm wobble effects.
Here is what the V8 Supercar sounds like now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J26nFVmCe_A&feature=player_embedded
Maybe Kaz needs to be informed.
-
Love the sound of both Sauber C11 and the 787B from the track side! Nice videos there dlr!
Also liked the sound of the V8-Supercars that Goes posted!
-
I would like to change my ride to the Sauber Mercedes C9 for now.
-
Hey dlr, you gonna post the official results or what? :P
:D
-
Results will be posted "Soon". :lolz (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

I'll either update the front post or start a new thread as Fuji gets a little closer.
-
Um...so like, when is the Fiji race?? ;)
-
I'm still here (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
I have not thought about it much. I knew I was taking a break from gaming but I did not know I was going to spend the last 3 weeks fighting some sort of flu virus. :( Racing and video games in general have been the farthest from my mind. I'm a lot better but still not 100%. I may aim for running the next race in April and carrying on from there, assuming there is enough interest in running by that time. ;D

Great to hear from you dlr. Keep getting better, flu sucks.
-
Good to hear your feeling better DLR and I'm still interested in running this. Take care of yourself and see you out there soon.
-
Glad you're on the mend! I can relate a bit, as in the month of February I had a sinus infection for 2 weeks and then some sort of throat virus for another week. I was visiting my doctor so much she was starting to think I have a crush on her (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)
Whenever it picks back up I'll be looking forward to participate*
*in April I'll be away the 12-16th but am otherwise free ;D
