I'll change the schedule for next weeks US events to accommodate you Rudra. As I won't be able to Race GT5 next week.

Usually I'm running Mini's in Race 07 on Wednesdays.

 

[UMC 22]

Oops, didn't realise the event was today! Sign me up please.

Regarding Markus's problem with buying the car, is anyone actually interested in tweaking their setups? If not, then couldn't the host just put all the SuperGT cars into the recommended garage instead?

 

[Markus Hakamo]

Sing me up PSN:markushakamo.

I heard that there should be some(?) stock super GT cars in recommended garage. Just wondering if it might be ok for others to run with those..?

 

[UMC 22]

Forget my above suggestion. There are not 'some' SuperGTs in the recommended list... there's one. Selecting that as the only car allowed would pretty much defeat the object of this being a SuperGT event. However, it does mean that you should be able to select it, Markus... assuming you don't mind driving that particular car. Its the Calsonic GT-R.

There's a couple of issues though. First, if everyone else upgrades their car to get to the 600bhp limit allowed for the event, then you will be 100bhp down which is a pretty severe handicap. Second, because its a recommended car you will not be able to alter the setup... though I don't know if you are into all that or not.

If need be, then I am willing to run my Nismo Z completely stock and with default setup. That'll put you and me on level pegging, so we can hopefully have a few battles at the back together.


Edit:

By the way, everyone make sure they have added the host and been accepted as a friend before you start GT5. If you don't then the host will not appear on your in-game friends list and you will not be able to join the server. (As some of us found out the other day. :tongue

 

[Markus Hakamo]

Ok, lets see how it turns out, it's no big deal to me to run underpowered car. I then just try keep on same lap with others and make some fun, or perhaps compete with Ross' Nismo

 

[Matthew Schofield]

Ross, do you have the option to run your Nismo tuned? I have a tuned Calsonic I can lend to Markus. It's at 560bhp with a stage 3 engine tuning (approx 2 seconds per lap quicker than stock). Any more upgrade and it exceeds the 600bhp cap we have for this race (I think most Super GT's will be quite a bit below the 600).

Markus, if you'd like to borrow the car, and if Ross can run his Nismo tuned, I'll get it sent. It has a full compliment of racing tyres. You might also need to check the suspension settings. I have camber etc... set to my spec. I don't mind you tweaking with any of that.

 

[Herve De Braekeleer]

Hmmmm... well noticed Markus...
I think I still have 1.200.000, so it should be alright.
I spent 2.000.000 to find the perfect european stock car yesterday ( <400bhp, >1000kg )

But because asking doesn't kill: I guess my Honda NSX Mobil can't participate?

Thanks, it is also ok for me if you could do that.

 

[Matthew Schofield]

okay. Add me on PSN. I'll need to gift the car to you.

 

[Markus Hakamo]

I just accepted your invitation.

 

[Saul Boucher]

Good to see you guys were able to help Markus out, was gonna try and gift him my Supra last night but we couldn't get connected on the PSN network at the same time.

 

[UMC 22]

The only upgrade options available on my Nismo Z are the rigidity improvement, a turbo, and an adjustable diff. Everything else is 'unavailable'. It comes in at around 530bhp, so it looks like it might be me that is lacking in power now instead of Markus!

 

[Matthew Schofield]

Sent Markus. Are you sorted Herve? I don't know if the NSX Mobil is Super GT. I can't find it in the lists? Anyone else know?

Edit: our posts overlapped Ross. No stage 3 tuning available then?

 

[UMC 22]

Nope. It has the orange exclamation mark, same as everything else. But then, I wouldn't apply that one even if it was available, because I don't do permanent upgrades. :wink:

 

[Rudra Chattopadhyay]

Oh I see.. thanks for adjusting the race timings anyway. I've also fixed the audio issue & set the audio input to the PS3 eye.

 

[Saul Boucher]

Very interesting guys, sorry I only had the money to buy 2 cars. A GT-R, and the Yellow Hat Supra. Both had Stage 3 Engine upgrades available, and stage 2 and 3 turbo kits So with the GT-R I was able to get it up to 578HP with only the Stage 3 Engine Upgrade and an oil change and the Supra close to the same HP with an Engine Stage 3 Upgrade, Oil change, and Turbo Stage 2. Naturally I assumed the other cars would have had the same upgrade options..

Let me know how everything goes. For future events we might just have to keep it just over the 500HP mark and keep cars stock (allowing for Oil Change HP boosts only).

 

[UMC 22]

Oh well, nevermind. I'm not that good at this track anyway, so I wouldn't win even with 700bhp!

 

[Andrew Slade]

Time is getting a little tight for me now because class has started again, but sign me up I plan on making it.

If I can't get enough done over the weekend I might have to cancel again though. Just means I can't play as much GT5 on the weekend and need to study
