PC2 Project Cars 2 Leagues (merged)

[Rob]

I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me!

Damn. Where do you find the buttons? I have look right and left, look back, change view, lights, wipers, telemetry, motec, and pause and start (which does something in car but I forget). Don't think I have any more left....

I gave up on the pit changes long ago. Too much about the pits are broken, and they have enough problems simply getting the cars stopped and started. This is why endurance racing is doable but not ideal. Hopefully, for this series and F1, pits will not ruin a race. Besides, it's only an endurance race for the cars, as the drivers are time limited per shift.

You can do away with the change camera Robert as we are always in cockpit. I also don't have lights or wipers mapped when I know what weather we are set to as it just wastes them.

I'm due to be racing the Ginetta purely because I love watching those cars on TV, had no idea about any advantage. I'll swap to something else if you prefer. Mind you I've not even tried it yet so doubt I'll be much threat.

Some leagues don't run the Bentley in GT3 for the same reason. But I figure, if it's faster, people will find it. In fact, I'm not wedded to it either, but it's one of a handful that suit my driving style (other than "slow" it's generally any GT car that is closer to an open wheeler). lol.

Problem is, I'm so absent minded that I'd forget to switch over since, including Michael's series, that's four total, and two need wipers and lights sometimes and two don't. But even the LMP2 cars have lights. It's just too confusing. . The solution, Peter, as you have always pointed out, is letting us change settings like F1 does. Also, I need the change camera a lot in practice. Amazing what you can see by doing a 360 around your car while driving.

Hey...what's your vote for an F1 race on Sunday? Any interest? I'd go for probably Singapore (since we missed it) or some 2014 car anywhere.

Wow, wow, what a race, what a race! Firstly great performances from @Adam Morris and my team-mate in Qualifyng, unbeatable! Got third in Qualifying on a 2:16.5 (I think).

Got a good start, @Adam Morris jumped the start but nevertheless me and Gazza went in hot pursuit. I had a look at Gazza on the straight but thought better of it in the braking zone for Les Combes. Aimed for the corner and saw @Adam marks fly into Morris. So, that me and Gazza to lead the field. After two laps of attempting to manage tyres, fuel and brakes behind him, I look in the mirror and see a green Aston. Could it be???????? Yes @Ben Milden. Damn.

So, I try and pick up the pace but to no avail; Ben caught me and we had a good battle for a couple of laps! Was a good battle, tiny little knock on my part, sorry dude! I managed to repass my rival and keep him back until the stop. Pitted behind Gazza and managed to capitalise on his mistake on the out-lap; had to push and just managed to keep Ben behind, who slotted between myself and Gazza. Realised at this point I desperately needed to save fuel. Tried to in the middle sector by slowing Ben down at corner apexs, but maybe 6 laps of battling left Ben in front and me and Gazza trading paint. Ben was out in front, me and @Gareth Williams were left to have a last lap battle; he made a mistake at Les Combes, I had to fuel save for S2 and made at across the line ahead with 0.2L remaining. Phew.

Great race Ben, will cherish that forever. Also a great race with Gareth, sorry about the contact in Pouhon mate. Thought that was ours to win for GWAH, but I enjoyed this way too!

Just had my first run out in it and have to say it's a beautiful car to drive. I tried all 4 of the available cars for this series and its the only one I could really drive 'through' the corners, so much grip and so stable. That fast right hander in the final sector is much easier in this car and it's the only one that I could pull back from the edge if running wide through there.... the others just get sucked off into the gravel. Loved it .

Managed to get quickly into the 1:00's with default setup and tbh I'm not sure what I would tune to improve it.

 

[Ben Milden]

Hey I might not be home till like 3:15 my time how long can you wait?

We waited 15 minutes please try to make the races thanks

Though so. "Quickly into the 1s with default" -- I think I'm going to be sick. lol.

Thanks guys! It was a lot of fun while it lasted! Unfortunately it ended when I accidentally hit the PS button and went out to the PSmenu while my car went full speed into a wall Looking forward to more close racing in the future! Quick question: are we racing with "force realistic driving aids" in upcoming races as well? I dont mind, it helps stabilize my badly tuned 12c. Would really appreciate if someone would like to push me in the right direction tuning wise..!
Will unfortunately be missing out on Imola next week due to tickets to a show purchased long ago, but I will be back for Monza..

Next week is Zolder

 

[Michael Watts]

I dont have look left, right, or back. I heard, but not confirmed that Lights and Wipers come on automatically if not mapped.

 

[Ben Milden]

What happened to you guys tonight really would appreciate a answer as we waited for you and sent invites etc. @Jelani Patterson @Dominic Ollivierre @Lance Loomis if any of you can't make it please let us no! Or if your leaving/left the series please tell us we have reserves who could of raced had we known

strange thing is once you got passed on that last lap, I suddenly had loads of turn in again lol, those two little errors definitely cost me 2nd I reckon, can't believe how big gap was in quali from p3 onwards, and in the race, field got quite spread out
