Gran Turismo race night

[phil bottle 9,938]

Summer's coming to an end and I'm thinking of doing a GT7 night. Let me know if anyone's up for it and what night they can't do.

 

Thinking of either a Tuesday or Saturday, though could possibly do Thursday as well. In September that is.

 

If we have at least 4 or 5 of us minimum then it's a goer.

Between the 10th and 17th I'm unavailable but rest of the month I should be free.

There’ a a few days here and there I can’t make but generally pretty free so happy to go with the flow.

Im game for whenever

[phil bottle 9,938]

Sweet, looks like we may get this going then. I'll look at dates and stick something in the calendar.

@phil bottle, I suggest we go for something in September and see how it goes. I would love us to try a Tuesday and then a Saturday perhaps through Septmeber, so we get to see who actually can make different days. 4 different dates for 4 different weeks I was thinking? @Lurchzy was helping get some pics for the events and I'll start nudging more GTers to get their asses back in the swing of this. 👊

When in September. I'm out most of September for work. If it's a weekend then possibly more than likely I'll be able to attend.

We'll be doing Tuesdays and possibly Saturdays, if Saturday is any good for you?

We generally race Gr.3 and Gr.4 cars, so try and ensure you have a few of them in your garage!

Well I haven't played much of Gran Turismo so I don't have either classification of those cars.

Here's a tip for you as the Gr.3 & 4 cars cost around 400k.

 

To earn money I do a race at 

Circuit de la Sarthe that pays out 850k. It's a 30 minute race but probably the quickest way to build up credits. Note, the race says its a 550k payout but you also get a clean race bonus that tops it up.

What are people using for their Gr.3 or Gr.4 cars? How much HP and mods are you running? So with mine the way it is I think I should just race it. It should be good for the types of races we are doing?

The way the online races are set up, we use BOP, balance of performance, which adjusts weight and power so that all cars in the race are similar. 

 

But the races we do are by category, so if it's a Gr.3 race it needs to be  Gr.3 car, same with Gr.4.

 

Toyota, Nissan and Porsche tend to be strong all round on most tracks but for me it depends which car you feel most comfortable in.

So purchased a Gr.3 Brz and I suck. Last place in a race. I tend to do better with the drifty, sliding around style. So rally racing and the truck racing.
