GT5 GT5 Racing Club - Event Archive

[Kevin Watts]

Anyone interested in a little GT5 launch day fun? I'll have a room up around 8PM GMT listed as RaceDepartment.com running the PD Karts.

 

[Saul Boucher]

Well that was an absolute blast!

Thanks for coming out guys, more events coming soon.

Here's a short vid I captured using my phone from Race 1, final lap battle between Ramon and I. I'm driving the white car and Ramon the blue one.

Who says Gran Turismo 5 can't offer some great quality club racing!

 

[Rudra Chattopadhyay]

That was fun & got a lot to learn too (like staying clear of the walls)... Also enjoyed the races that followed in London & Madrid.

 

[Ramon Alonso]

That was great! Going side by side on that track was awesome!

 

[James Skinner]

What time do you guys want to see for EU racing? around 10:00GMT?

Would be really interested in races around 9pm, never get home from work early enough for most RD events!
Small cars sounds really good and maybe some classic car events too...

 

[Andrew Slade]

Good times for sure. I was mired at the back mostly but had a few good battles. Looking forward to the next event.

 

[Saul Boucher]

I'm a dumbass, that was meant to read 20:00GMT. Would that be 21:00GMT then for you James?

9pm is indeed 21:00GMT in the UK, while we're on GMT at least. I would prefer races to start somewhere between 19:00 and 20:00 though. I feel 21:00 is getting a bit late, particularly for those to the East of GMT as for them it will be even later. Those with work and family commitments the next day aren't going to be wanting to start a race at something like 12pm or even 1am (their local time) the night before.

 

[Saul Boucher]

Thanks for the feedback Ross, and I agree. I'd prefer to keep the time slot more central to accomodate the majority of people. I'm willing to vary that slightly though for people who are actually attending, provided it works for everyone. So don't be afraid to ask.

Just wondering though, shouldn't the maximum power be 500HP? As the cars actual output is around 500 (493 for most)?

 

[Saul Boucher]

The Super GT cars have an engine stage 3 upgrade, and Turbo stage 2 and 3 upgrades available. HP can be increased to just under 700HP. Since the Engine Stage 3 upgrade cannot be removed once installed, I figured it would be best to set the limit to 600HP so people wouldn't have to buy new cars if they have installed it already just to participate.
