My heart is in it, but I really need to turn some laps and make sure I can keep it on track and competitive. What kind of specs are you planning?

Post by: Wolfpack987 on August 28, 2014, 10:17:29 AM: Thanks Dude, that's definitely helpful!

Afraid I won't be around this weekend though. Going to the beach for 3 days :jimi:

I'm sure we can find another time soon though.

Motor City Hami Tune (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/motor-city-tunes-gt6.291066/page-19#post-10033084) This is the tune I will probably be using.

RyanRacer tune (http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/tunes/formula-gran-turismo.501/)

Post by: DudeTuna on September 02, 2014, 09:03:55 AM: I ran a few laps at Monza, managed a 1'24.0xx. I should have been in the mid 23's, but I choked @ Parabolica. I ran in Arcade TT mode, not online with tire wear so I do not know what that will be like.

Post by: Wolfpack987 on September 03, 2014, 07:24:08 AM: Thanks for the tuner links Dude!

I ran online (practice) for about an hour last night. Tinkered mainly with the downforce and gearing. My best times were high 1:24's. I had difficulty getting the best line at Parabolica as well - plus I felt like you have to be extra careful getting back on the throttle on the exit of that complex. More than once I oversteered off to the left wall.

Post by: Wolfpack987 on September 04, 2014, 07:26:46 AM: So...um,

Right now it's just you and me Dude. And I love ya, but if we don't get another 3-4 people signed up I don't think I'm gonna host this event. Wouldn't be that exciting! ::)
