Awesome car, great to see it in a full on championship - excellent news!

Would love to participate but a bit stretched for time at the moment, however those who do sign up - very best of luck with the series - should be an absolute blast with these...

On a selfish note - please loads of people sign up, as I would love this one to be popular and happen on a regular basis, so I can join in myself in future series when time allows

Actually a great car the ST.

 

[Björn Johansson]

Not my cup off tea, this car is not for me.
Was at the edge the whole time yesterday , still 5+ second to leader and
3-4 sec to the rest off the field. It will only come to trouble.
So decided to drop out off this one. Wish you all the very best racing.
See you all.

Due to a clash in dates I have removed the last round of the series and reduced the overall series to four weekly rounds.

Shame to be losing you - I'm not a massive fan of the car but I quite like being out of my comfort zone. I'm usually quite consistent but I span off a few times (don't think the ST likes the curbs much). Just got to find a way of getting my rear tyre temps under 105 degrees before Wednesday!!

I was around your pace and lost car quite a few times. Was hoping that we will have some close racing since others are very far.

 

[Björn Johansson]

Yes sorry but I am to much off a control freak

 

[Slapped]

I'm not in on this but I've just had a thought - The first round is happening on the 18th of November, which just happens to be exact the date of the ACC 1.6 drop.

While Kunos have so far shown themselves to be pretty adept at problemless releases, with very little in the way of game breaking issues, it may still be wise to anticipate some problems. Especially if it's a big drop in terms of download size - some people may not have the bandwidth to update in time for the event.

 

[Knut Mattheisen]

I also spin every second lap when i go to the limit. And i wonder if that's normal? Maybe i forgot how to drive while i was in hospital.
What times do you drive like that? I think i'm very slow at the moment, which is not a good requirement to participate. Is there anyone who can give tips on setup?

This is the first time I have really driven this car - I find it a bit more unpredictable than the GT3/4 cars as well. Think I was running high 2:07s but running that for 50mins is going to be a struggle!
The base setups seem pretty good I'm just struggling with rear tyre temps - got a feeling my tyres will be cooked by about lap 10!!

Wow that's fast. I'm not getting below 2:10 at the moment and my tires are already cooking after lap 2..
What a shame for me. In career mode, i remember driving this car was much easier for me.

I'm pretty sure top lads were running 2:05-2:06s!
I don't know whether it is just Suzuka or the temperature (god help us at Laguna Seca!!)...I took it for a blast at Silverstone last night and it felt a hell of a lot better!

 

[640er]

Just signed up for this series. Really exited to race at Suzuka for my first time. I have not much exp in ACC and will stick with the default setup, trying to keep it between the white lines

I managed low 2:09 last wednesday on practice server, also my first time driving this car. That evening I was spinning around same as you said, and also cooking rear tyres.
Few days ago, I tried 20min race against AI. Managed not to spin (until last lap) , but my best time was low 2:10, so I took it a bit careful I guess. Maybe lower pressure in the back could help as I could feel it was becoming very bad after 2 laps. What I want to say is, I will be driving so you will have someone to race against.

 

[Knut Mattheisen]

Unfortunately I'm out for tonight. I even managed a 2.07 while practicing earlier. Unfortunately, my fever is rising again. So that I can't drive anymore tonight. a lot of fun for you mates.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Good luck tonight guys!
