Sadly I don't remember who I stole this evnet idea/format from, I think someone ran it on GTP or the Deathstar, but anyway it was Stolen from I believe Spxshark at the Deathstar, a fun concept I thought that worked out pretty well, and I've been wanting to do it again.
24 hours in 2 hours - Time progression will be set to 12, so for every minute we race IRL, the race clock goes 12. This means that after 1 hour of actual seat time, you've done 12 hours in game time, so 2 hours = 24 hours of time change in race.
Cars selection will be set to GT300 cars by lobby, and I'm planning on I will be setting tuning to be PROHIBITED. This means any and all adjustable parts will have to be "reset to default" to enter the race. I say planning as I'm not entirely sure GT300 cars bone stock will have enough power/transmission for the ring without testing some. If anyone knows the answer to this offhand please let a tuna know! Tested this last night, and while at the end of the long straight they get close to rev limiter, and with a draft may bounce once or twice, I think the setup is perfect, just the right amount of full throttle time.
That *should* limit it to the following vehicles. If any are wrong or missing, let me know:
S Autobacs ARTA Garaiya (JGTC) ‘03
S Nissan CALSONIC SKYLINE (JGTC) ‘00 Doesn't show when SuperGT 300 is selected..?
S Nissan C-WEST RAZO SILVIA (JGTC) ‘01
S RE Amemiya AMEMIYA ASPARADRINK RX7 (JGTC) ‘04
S Subaru CUSCO SUBARU ADVAN IMPREZA (JGTC) ‘03
S Toyota SUPERAUTOBACS APEX MR-S (JGTC) ‘00
S Toyota WEDSSPORT CELICA (JGTC) ‘03 - LR-MR-BadBoots7
P RE Amemiya Amemiya AsparaDrink RX7 (SUPER GT) ‘06 - TunaPhreak, SpitFriedBrindle, BakedTuna
P Subaru CUSCO DUNLOP SUBARU IMPREZA (SUPER GT) ‘08 - WolfpackS2k, RoninTuna, MetalFreak
P Autobacs ARTA Garaiya (SUPER GT) ‘08 - BigRek, TunaWiz
P Lexus Weds Sport IS350 (SUPER GT) ‘08
Other than that, tires will be set to Race Hard, ABS, TC, and Driving Line allowed, all other aids will be off. Slipstream weak, damage light, real track edge, tire/fuel wear on, etc...
Now, just keep an eye out for the date and time!
Figure it's time to set a hard date and time for this event and see who can actually make it. Depending on participation/availability/desire, I hope to re-run this on a different day of the week (I'm thinking a Monday, also 10pm) to try to make it more open for availability/schedules. Or run Sarthe instead. Or maybe make this a monthly thing with minor changes.
Anyway, 24 at 24 on the 24rd, 10pm EST!

i've seen a 2 hr of le mans (at sarthe of course) at the PSN forum that did very well a few months ago. It was run by Spxshark. I think Cipriani may have run in it. I did not.
I doubt that this saturday would work for me, but I'd recommend Nurburgring 24hr circuit (it may be the only day/night nurb variation, not sure).
if something changes and I can stop by, i'll let you know.

I'd like to run this event but i wont be available on saturday as i'll be at my parents house for a furryized Mario Kart Wii tournament online, but sunday would be fine... maybe after Sunday Shuffle dies down?
-
depending on the time, i'm down
-
I'm surprised we didn't do a 24hrs(down to some kind of scale) of DayTuna race.
-

I agree, but sadly Daytuna isnt a time change track yet. :(

yeah i saw that...kinda disappointing.
-
So timing wise this was obviously thrown together too quickly to get a turnout, then my plans changed and I wasn't available anyway...
BUT I'd love to find a weekend/night to run this for real, so I'll update the topic with a new date when I arrive on one.
For now, any other interest in this particular event format aside from Metal and Ex?
Also I was informed Toscana is the asphalt course, so that's back in the normal mix as well, and actually might be my preference of track.

I do have interest, but a word of warning: Toscana is only a 3 hour time change track.... not the full 24 hours like La Sarthe and the Nurburgrings.
-
Drat, thank ye, Toscana's out then... They need more 24 hour tracks, it's just lighting right? :P
-
you can use a randomly generated custom track too, and they all have full time change, I believe. someone will have to confirm that though
a couple hours of racing should give us time to learn it ;)

Wrong. None of the user created tracks have full 24 hour time change. At most (Eiefel) they are 10 hours IIRC, but i definitely know that none of them are like the Nurb's and La Sarthe.
-
I'm in if the decision is to run at the Nordscheife or the 24hr. I've been wanting to run in something like this for a long time. Would be an absolute blast in GT300 cars.

:stoopid:
I have been wanting to get back into the 300 cars for quite a while now. Fridays mid day Saturdays maybe? I have some flexabitiy during the week night evenings as well. There is no better car for the 24hour Nurb than the GT300 cars in my opinion. Very fast little fuckers and hella fun to drive.

I'm glad that this event didn't take place over the weekend, since I was gone :D
I've previously told Phreak I'm down so whenever this is actually set up I will be there!
-
Allrighty, I like the consensus and agreement so far, so some details will now become final. Updating first post/title!
Also, I found I don't remember this track for $^%*! I'll be practicing a lot if anyone ever wants to join, look for my yellow circle!
-
Put me down for one.
Autobacs ARTA Garaiya (SUPER GT) ‘08
-
Put me down for the Subaru CUSCO DUNLOP SUBARU IMPREZA (SUPER GT) ‘08
though I might try checking out the Toyota SUPERAUTOBACS APEX MR-S (JGTC) ‘00. But for now leave me with Scooby power! (http://i.imgur.com/LmjyBgx.gif)

I'd like the drink. Car was awesome for the 300 series!!! :)
-
So those that have made vehicle requests have been assigned. At this point I'm not restricting car choice, or your ability to change your mind, so if we have a 1 make race so be it, but I don't think there's a clear "winner" of these selections so we'll see as more people get comfortable with rides and voice choices.
The only vehicle I *may* drop is the 4wd subaru (sorry Wolfpack) if it can be shown to be overly advantageous, as I feel it might be, especially if it rains. Thoughts on disallowing 4wd from here or any experience with a GT300 field? It's easy enough to restrict in the lobby if we decide to ban it.
Also, if anyone's missing any of the standard cars and would like to try them, I have them all, just let me or someone else know and I'm sure a ticket can be shot out of the ticket cannon!
And finally for those practicing: If you're trying to setup a lounge like the race will be setup and no matter what you are still being denied entry because "Tuning [PROHIBITED]", go through ALL your settings and click "reset to default". I've found that even if the numbers don't change, resetting will allow me in the room.
-

You got it, 04 or 06?
-
Doh!!! Forgot about that. '06 Asparadrink
-
The 4wd suby was nothing special in the 300 series. Although, my series had locked hp/kg ratio, which may give different results.
-
Have you tested these on the long straight yet? I tried the '08 Garaiya and even though it didn't bounce, it was awfully close.
-
We did a few races there last night but we were never close to each other by the time we got to the long straight. Without drafting most cars are close to redline, around 160 mph. With drafting the rev limiter would most certainly be hit, in every car I'd imagine.
-
sounds like a good choice for format.
one question about no tuning, as I have very limited knowledge about racing classes. on the straigths are some of these cars going to top out way before or after others, or are they equal on top speed?
Nevermind it seems I misunderstood Wiz's question about "bouncing"... he meant rev limiter not suspension issues...
Depending on day/time, I'd absolutely love to do this.
:-* :-* :-*
-
on a related note, I'm really starting to get why a lot of you guys like the weaker slipstream, as I was in some races today against a guy I am a rival with and he was able to stick to my bumper more or less for several laps at DRC even though I was pulling much better laps than he was and he passed me at the last moment for a win.
annoyed the hell out of me. A better driver should win every time, and with some classes of car, a strong slipstream is just too much of a boost crutch. I like that you guys use weak most of the time.
-

"Tested this last night, and while at the end of the long straight they get close to rev limiter, and with a draft may bounce once or twice, I think the setup is perfect, just the right amount of full throttle time."
So that was in the first post, and as Wolfpack said, we ran some last night. All of them are going to get awfully close, and I agree with a draft will probably reach the limiter, but as was said, by the time you're at that point, I don't see time for more than 1 or 2 bounces before you'll be braking anyway. Personally, I think settings wise we're good to go, aside from the possible 4wd rain advantage. I like that it wasn't special in the 300 series, but like was said, that was a locked power/weight ratio... I'm sure someone will be able to throw down some test laps soon, certainly don't have to be at the ring, just have to see if it's an unfair advantage overall or not :)
I'm liking the interest so far!
-
Sounds like fun! if i am available, i will definitely run this. not sure what car to run yet....
-
I didn't realize this was going to have weather as well. What are you going to set the weather to at the start of the race? Just curious.
Also, I'll be in the '08 Garaiya.
-
Is there room for some stony dude in his '06 Aspradrink?

Got you listed for the Garaiya. Weather for the start, I was going to leave at surface wet 0%, changeability of 3, and 25% for whatever the other initial option is. I believe changeability of 5 & time prog of 12 could possibly lead to some crazy fast weather changes, so that's why change is 3 and not 5, don't really want to get stuck on the wrong tires for 8 minutes, pit and change, and have the weather go back again!
Is there room for some stony dude in his '06 Aspradrink?
Well I am running this evnet so I hope there's room for me! Oh wait, you mean for some other stony dude in an 06 drink, presumably you :)

To that I say hell yeah, of course! Just watch out for Ivy... Might have to rename it to the asparasmoke!

Initial run date and time set, please let me know if this takes anyone out of the running. I wanted to start late enough for the west coast, and try not to cut into TGITF or the Midnight Show too much.
Hoping to be on doing some practice for this later tonight if anyone wants to stop by, just look for my yeller dot!

Any idea off the top of your head if we are XMB friends? Whats your on-line name?

Just looked at my friends thru PSN and it does not appear we are. It's only in the signature of every post I make, but it's PsychoPhreak ;)
I'm 99% sure my list is full right now, so I'll have to delete a spot for you if that's the case. I'm guessing ShoShoTuna is going away?

Speaking of which, do you have me on your friends list? (I'm Sobek_Godnile if you don't know if you do or not. If you haven't already done so... delete Sobek_Nilegod... that deity died with my PS3.... kinda like Digimon. lulz.

Yeah, it could be at the top and bottom of every one of your post and I wouldn't see it LOL If you dont have room it's not a big deal at all.
-
i'm most likely interested in running, but don't know which car yet.
-
I'd send you a FR TunaPhreak, but your list is full. :(

Rek and alduin, added.

Likely wont happen for me... i'm having way too much fun with one of my furry friends in my private GT5 lounge. I'll be sure to post pics.... if we ever run a race. lolz

I'll team up with Dawson and run a Dunlop Impreza

Car choices updated in first post, 1 week left to practice and get me a friend request if we're not already buddies!
Car choice is open, so even if you don't decide until the start of the race, no worries, just keeping track so people can see who's in what so far. :)
-
sign me up for this! I dont know what Im driving.
-
If ya don't mind I'm in and I'll use the Wedssport Celica 03. Thanks

*EDIT*
That just figures....I click the calender event edit button on the main forum and it tells me I can not access it, Had I tried it from here in the thread from here I could have.
-
Thank yous Ronin & Fried for getting this linked up on the calendar.
LR-MR-BadBoots7, put you in the Celica in post 1, certainly don't mind more. I don't think we're PSN friends though so gotta make sure we are by Friday.
iSlide, no problemo, just be sure to get me a Friend Request by Friday or let me know if I'm full again.
For those friending me, please note my PSN is "PsychoPhreak"
Few days left to practice!
-
:bdance-l Looking forward to seeing you all tonight! :bdance-r
:bcheer :bclops :bcool
-
I'm going to ahve to miss this, unfortunately. Let me know how that AWD works out for ya. It seemed pretty solid Wed night. If I was running, I was thinking about using it too.
-
Sorry to miss you tonight ex, looks like someone else will be taking pole ;)
Lounge is up!
-
Sorry I bailed, No Dico( which is surprising) 9min down. I went to the cave to ponder :puff Getting ready for midnight :bong
-
:fucking discoed.
-
Evnet turned to poo poo anyway, between discos and willful departs, there were only two finishers after a grueling 2 hours and 20 min in the rain. Thanks to every one for coming out, guess I'm destined for failure, both in performance and planning :-( Maybe if it was same setup with no weather it would have been better, first two laps were pretty good I thought...
-
Good idea, PD implementation of weather phucked you over Phreak

:stoopid:
You didn't fail Phreak, PD fails.
Run it again with no weather and I'll be there! :)
-
Thanks for holding this. I did enjoy the bulk of the event. It's so rare for me to enjoy a race where I actually feel comfortable like I feel in the rain and darkness. I do have to be honest all the discos and withdraws did take a lot of the starch out of the win. Don't let the results of this one get you down, the format works, we just need a little less bullshit from PD and the weather.
-
Thanks for the encouragement guys. Sorry about getting all whiny schoolgirl last night :-[
I had just gotten really, really excited for this event. I finally planned something far enough out that participation was good, interest was great, and the starting grid looked purty!
Then the weather came and it all fell apart. I mean, I planned to have weather, I posted about it, but no one (well, ALMOST no one ;))was prepared for the full onslaught of torrential rain (and maybe snow at one point!) storms. From such an amazing start (I even said in the first few laps this was some of the most fun I'd been having) to such crap in 3-4 laps... By lap 7 I almost wanted to cry. It was like watching my baby wither and die :P By lap 10, I gave up and parked it myself.
So with that said, YES I absolutely want to run this again, this time in the dry, but still with day/night cycle. Personally I want to run it right now, but that's just because I'm upset at what could have been...
So keep an eye out for a new thread with a new date in it. And hopefully by that time, the phucking disco's will be done!
-
Hey Phreak You put on an great event and appreciate the effort I'll be there for the next one. :ttu
As for last night, lets see I spent a lot of time testing cars running at night ( night driving got much improved)
Kinda hoping for better weather. But knew we would :-\ SNOW in the middle of the night didn't expect that!
I get into the room and my damm mic Fuck quits. Nice can't talk or hear everybody. >:(
The first few laps were a blast, made the pit stop , the next couple laps..... well soup sandwich comes to mind
Then trying for 1 more lap before full wets was a BAD mistake 13.5 min lap. Shit!!!! Keep diggin' pit change tires.
Starting lap 8, I'm now 8.5 min behind with the room down to 4. Thinking I'm gonna get lapped soon :P :P
So as I slide off for the umpteenth time pounding the wall. That was enough, time to go :puff :bong
Went hit up Charlies show for some fun, but No mic, I just hope I didn't mess up anybody, I know there was some close calls.
just not into the whole thing and went to :zzz
-
Good idea, PD implementation of weather phucked you over Phreak
:stoopid: Plus my screen went black about 5 laps in. Road dissapeared and the only thing you could make out was there is something on the hills to my left, but you couldn't see the road at all, total black.
-
^That is so bizarre!
It was a fun race, in a tortuous self loathing sort of way, hehe. Attrition was key, and I was happy to complete the entire event!
-
Something to consider for future events, red flags. If you decide the weather is out of control, throw a red flag. All racing series stop the race if the weather is beyond what is safe to drive in.
Take note of who is in what position then everyone back out. Reset the room with better weather conditions (waiting out the rain), reduce the amount of laps to what you have left to complete and restart.
-
I experienced a similar thing where the screen looked like a photo negative. I can understand the self torture thing but not when it comes to racing. If that was a real race with a track at 100% saturation and not letting up I would tend to believe a real race would have been red flagged. I have seen Sebring red flagged as well as Daytona 24hr race. So i went with a voluntary red flag
-
To the last two posts I have to agree and say very good points!
-
Let's do this again! :)
-
Agreed! :stoopid:
I've been telling TunaPhreak that he should plan a "24 hours" type event every month around the 24th! Different class of cars every time, no modifications, I think it would be fun.

Thanks for the support! Been busy with vacation and wedding season coming up so scheduling a time has been rough, plus I know personally I'd need to spend a good deal of time practicing for this to stand a shot, BUT that aside expect to see a date for take 2 without weather in the not too distant future!
