Stratty Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I was only on for an hour last night but the racing was a laugh.. Sorry S44M KT for destroying your rear end.. That's what happens when a girlie gets in the way.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I've had to miss Eastenders for this! Can't believe what happened on Eastenders last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Was a great fun evening. Supra is a good looking car I have to say, never see anyone else choose in when I play against the globe. Where is the leader board we were promised? *signed, Charlie Chaplin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harps Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 After reviewing the video evidence, the independant judge has declared that Harpsy was not at fault for the crashes on the first corner of Silverstone. Those at fault know who they are. Especially in the second race. It was quite shocking! Would be good to do a stock race so all the cars are equal. I think some had far better set ups than others. As in, everyone elses was better than mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 That's a very good idea harps. Though stock supras are v.v. slow - at least compared to A class. But maybe do C-class supras? Can you send replays to other players by the way? We could also raise the stakes and race R3 supras (if I recall there is little you can do tuning to them as well). I reckon their 'd be far more crashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 how about this then....everyone in a stock supra no mods. The lobby can force that, so all identical cars. Although I think my tune was crap and pure driver skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimojameso Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah like that idea. Some cars went much better than others last night!! how about this then....everyone in a stock supra no mods.

Harps Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The downside is that this may prove that my tune was amazing and no driver skill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 It was quite good to see the difference in the tunng of the cars also. Mine was manic off the line but on a long straight was caught when hitting the higher numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 My car was setup for corners with super soft suspension to be able to ride the kerb (and grass if need be!) without hesitation or hiccups. Makes races far more forgiving on the car so you are less likely to spin out. A fast car which is twichy is less competitive in newbie hands than a slower car which is more stable. Also with a car with good grip you can really pressurise other plays into mistakes in corners. They spend so much time looking at their mirrors, its inevitable most will make a mistake eventually.

Neil-NA Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I had a quick 2 min tune this morn and did a couple of 1.58 laps on silverstone compared to the 2.02 i was doing whilst racing. Will work on it for next week, theres f*ck all i can do about my poor driver skill though sorry to all who i barged off in the corners.

Whitesupraboy2 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 At one Point I was following on Sebring thinking he's got to brake! Ohh wait to thick black lines, wheres he going....ahh into that wall. I even used right hand stick to have a look as i went past to make sure he was well stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 You make me laugh - pistonbroke you gave me more than a run for my money and I thought you were quite competent Is there any way to get a larger mirror? Not sure if its in the options, often its hard to see the other cars behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Lol, You can adjust the view if you use the interior view (hardcore like me) by going into multi screen settings then changing the angle to 70%, it puts the seat position back a bit so you can see the rear view mirror better. WSB pressured me into locking my brakes on the final corner on one of the Sebring laps, I didn't realise until it was to late and no amount of cadence braking would bring it back, I hit the wall doing over 100, the fact I finished the race at all was a miracle I'm going to fine tune the Surpa when I get in tonight. I'm being left for dead in the corners due to lack of downforce, but the flip side is on the straights I can generate a fair bit of speed. On the Laguna Seca track, I'm convinced Nevins forgot which button was the brake and decided to use my rear end instead into the first corner, then there's Maple valley, where I had the worst luck and rolled the bloody car twice!! I look forward to the next round!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 yes i got over taken by a car going backwards into the first corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 as for tuning the forza auto tune can be a bit quirky to say the least tuning up a gt40 i played with all sorts of parts, it is quicker with a turbo rather than supercharger and having to only do the first weight reduction and no cams valves etc to get it into the 600 class, my white supra which was killing you on the straights is nothing special without giving to much away its had the v8 conversion for the torque and 4x4 conversion for off the line acceleration, this car however handles like a complete pig on corners and the brakes are totally shocking, hence using a diffrent car for a circuit with more corners i will however put the tune up on my storefront for sale shall we say 10,000,000 oh bored now hit level 50 last night some stock racing would be good but the first corner would be even MORE messy we should all have pretty much the same stock cars winner picks track, second place picks stock car ????

supra_aero Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 we should all have pretty much the same stock cars winner picks track, second place picks stock car ???? Aren't the racing supras [R3 etc.] not-upgradeable? That would be faster and they generally handle ok enough out of the box. Just think stock supras are so so so slow.

Stratty Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 yeah, stock is just too slow.. i was using my S class (orange one in case you didn't remember me..) and that was just about right without any driving aids. Pretty quick down the straight but you had to be very careful in the corners. It was a useful car for knocking Nev off the track though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain it, rule was no AWD First corner would be messy, but we could do round robin like you say. Every race the stock car we race with has to change and can only use an already used car after 3 races Im going to take a look tonight at the series race options on a private room. However R3 Supra is another Good idea, all the same that way. although I think more power may be disasterous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
