GT5 GT5 Racing Club - General Discussion

[Stuart Pocock]

Hi everyone,

I'm starting to do events for GT5 and I'm struggling for ideas on what would get the community on GT5. Are there any suggestions?

sorry for thread typo: it was supposed to say what do you want

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

I prefer the idea of evenly matched cars and no boost. Ideally we need more people - I am starting to think about the trying public lobby for some more online action but fear the idiots / being an unwelcome guest.

On another topic - lessons learnt from wet race theother day.....

I think qualy started in the rain with about 3% wet. I put on wet tyres and burnt them out before the end of the out-lap and couldn't even register a time.
I started the race on inters and as the moisture increased switched to wet as the track was >30%.
What are peoples verdicts on the correct tyre choice for wet conditions? that was my first attempt, so it was a bit random.

Hi Gareth.

I think that when it's 0% to 10% or 12% wet you can still use slick tyres but make sure to get out of the pits quickly and do your lap before it gets more wet. For inters I don't really know but I think they're meant for something like 10% to 50%? maybe. I recommend using full wets only for the wet races because the rain usually increases and the track gets more wet.

I did Q with soft slicks and switched to wets in the end to start the race

cheers

in the race i was using the inters with 35-40% wet and i wasn't having any problems

 

[Daniel Benefield]

Are there any morning races coming up soon

 

[Bradley Vanian]

It's great to see new drivers in the Racing Club

 

[Stuart Pocock]

As I'm getting some interest for a mid day (GMT) event, i am looking at the possibilty of two races during the weekend. One on a saturday evening (GMT) and one on a sunday afternoon (GMT).

Hi,
I'm back, it's been a while.

I'll try to join some races, but I can't promise anything.
I never really know when I'm home or when I'm out...
But I'll be browsing the forum more often and see if I can join.
I know it doenst really help you to organise races, but it's the best I can do.

Keep up the good work Stuart, I hope intrest will rise again now GT Academy is over.

Here is an idea for you to think about.. A very realistic rally event.. three laps around a dirt circuit. One driver at a time for added realism . Then three laps of a snow circuit and finally three laps of a tarmac circuit.. is it a good idea?

Hello!!

when are Time Trials coming to RD?

 

[Dubravko Sparovec]

It's a great idea. I myself thought that with GT5 track generator you can make new stages, so like in real life you can't practice as much as you want, which adds to realism as well.

Welcome back Juan, the TT's can be found the main GT5 page

Edit: Here is the link to them http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/rd-gt5-tt-japanese-k-cars-eiger-nordwand.53472/

Unfortunanlty the track creator doesn't to point to point which makes it a bit more tricky. I'll have a little play with the track creator tonight and see what i come up with

How about this for a dirt stage:

sorry if the picture looks a bit off, i was using my phone

 

[Dubravko Sparovec]

That looks like a rally stage to me. How long is it? Is it narrow or wide?

The stage is currently 4.25 miles and is very narrow, I am looking to widen a bit so there is a bit more room to turn. I'm going to do flying lap to show you what it's like so far

 

[Stuart Pocock]

Would anyone want to do a NASCAR Event?? It won't be on a oval

 

[Bradley Vanian]

Nascar at High Speed Ring maybe ? Encourages Nascar Racing without having too much banking which would cause problems.

 

[Stuart Pocock]

without having too much banking which would cause problems.

Could you explain please
