Just had a quick go with the mr2 round suzuka got a dirty mid 2.19 I know there's more time and the setup needs sorting. Ash was doing similar times in a DB9. The mr2 starts out in c class at just under 400 pi.
If its ok I was hoping that either me or ash could run it at the test event, see how it goes.

Thats around the same pace im doing mate, my only thought is the idea of this cup is cars that start life out as A class or just below to limit the upgrades

 

[Ash Kendall]

I'll run it in the test event if I can make, if you want to test it?

It is insanely light and absolutely flies off compared to the DB9, but top speed seems slightly lower from my brief run with it. Felt like a massive difference in grip too, but the pace seems about the same overall.

 

[Paulo Ribeiro]

Are you talking about Toyota MR2?
I don't see it in the car entry list.

 

[Ash Kendall]

It's not, that's why Stef asked if he could use his tuned up version in the test event, to see how it compares.

 

[Stefan Liversidge]

ok Chris, no problem. i'll look at tuning the nsxr then, from past games it is usually a similar beast

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

[Peter Vermeulen]

The test event is still on for this evening I presume?
So i'll make sure i'll get there in time.

 

[Chris Bell]

Yes mate its still on, same time as ususal!! Your R8 might hammer me on the straights!!

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

Well that makes it exciting as you'll be able to pass in the corners.
I'll join-up this evening then.

 

[Chris Bell]

Dont think theres enough corners tonight but in the series theres a good mix!! Tskuba should be where my car shines!!

 

[Chris Bell]

Please post and videos and explainations in this thread

If any drivers feel another driver has broken the official RD rules and this directly affected you finishing postition/race pace then you must first make a short video, post it in this thread and the 3 'Stewards' will investigate further.
Several videos may be better as then we can have different angles from the incident!

 

[Wayne Thomas]

For alternate views/angles what If replay is saved, can that not be uploaded to storefront and the time/lap noted? That said if its lap 40 of 45 it's a lot of waiting.......

 

[Chris Bell]

Yer suppose so!! Good thinking Batman

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

After a small test I will switch to the TT RS.
Like the car better than the R8.

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

Update on my car I'll be using the TT RS

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

First of all sorry for crashing into the spun out driver at the test event.
I feel really bad about it.
Did happen fast.Someone was passing me on the right and I didn't want to hinder him so looked right.
To be sure he could pass me as he was faster than me.
But the moment I looked in front of me there was only a cloud of smoke and bang there I went.
Screwing someone's race.
To top it all of I was a snail compared to the rest of the pack.
But well doesn't surprise me as I only fitted powerparts and didn't tune.
Because there I'm totally clueless what I need to do.
One thing I did change afterwards was my tirepresure as I know that from real-life what those effects are.
That allowed me to lap a bit faster.
But the rest is a mystery.
So I'll definitly get into the race tomorrow.
But if I'm that much behind I gonna try to find a bit more info on tuning setups.
If I can't figure it out it's possible I'll withdraw from the championship.
As I don't want to be a hinder on the track to the other racers when I'm that slow.

 

[Stefan Liversidge]

Ah, don't worry mate, it was me on the inside and it was ash you crashed into, I've spoke to ash and he accepts that there was nothing anyone could have done, if you spin out you have your fingers crossed that you don't get hit. I'm in no way an expert but I've been tuning my car for tomorrows race and have improved it. The info text by the side of each setting in forza is a good start. Just drive the car for a few laps but not going for times as such, just get a feeling for how it's handling, I.e understreer/oversteer and if that's on corner entry, or mid courner. And firstly adjust your setup so tyres get up to the right temp and that the heat is even across the tyre. To do this to get 90% of the way there adjust tyre pressure and camber.

That's what I do anyway, like I said, I'm no pro but this seems to deliver reasonable lap times. My car was not setup for the race tonight but hopefully I'll be a bit quicker tomorrow.

 

[Chris Bell]

If anybody had been anywhere near me when i had my accident last night i would have taken us all out! These things happen!! Dont worry about it! Makes it more fun in my opinion, like real racing!!!
