Since no one has made it yet and we know everything, we might as well talk about it. :)
 
I think I'll start the season with GT. Since it's so hopelessly slower than GTI in aston cadet (and that's where is next GTI/GT race gonna be). Of course it's slower in FB as well, but not as much.

Of course it still depends on everyone else's choise. Say, if faster guys take GT, I might consider GTI, so I would take at least one win :) But that's only if slower guys take GTI as well, because if they don't, I'll be destroyed by them in aston. I'll get destroyed there by faster guys anyway, so it doesn't matter (unless they take GTI now ;))

Ok, a bit confusing explanation, but in short:
If 2 cars from same class have very different laptime, it's better to take same cars as slower people (so you'll dominate by skills in both races), but different cars than faster people (so you'll dominate with faster car in one race, and you would loose in second race anyway).
 
That's some fine logic there MXM, only problem is that you really don't know what others will pick (unless they've already picked the GT once).
 
Well! Just bought S2, so I guess I will practice. :)

Yeah, and it only makes sense for first race, in this class anyway. There will be a lot more to choose from in GTR class :) Especially when to take the slow FOX.

But you can always practice with both cars, and choose one in last minute, hoping that other didn't do the same :)
 
I've tested both and I like the GTI better BUT I don't have a setup for the GT.
 
Btw, lap times will be always announced when thread is made, would take ages to calculate lap times for each race from the schedule now. :)

For this race:
Sprint: 10laps
Feature: 70laps
 
I tried hotlapping with the GT/GTI on the 3 tracks where we race them.
First with the GT and then with the GTI.
So far on all three tracks, when I took the GTI out, on the very first lap with it, I easily beat the hotlap time that I had set using the GT. :|

:lol: Should be a fun season ;).
 
Does anyone think its a good idea to keep everyone's chosen car a secret till the race?... cuz say if we discuss and one guy sees everyone taking the GT... he might as well take the GTI now so he has a better chance in winning... anyone think its a good idea... it'll be really easy to enforce anyways cuz if anyone decides to tell people, its their loss
 
I'm keeping it a secret. But it probably won't be much of a secret :lol:
 
Doing the XXXX; you can really whip that sucker around.

Plus I dont care if I place high, I just want to have fun.

yup... thats my whole point of playing LFS... to have fun :D... and hopfully have some racing competition cuz it gets quite boring driving alone :lol:
 
Well, I might want to join with that season...any hardcore rules or something?

I'm not fast, but I'm little bit bored...so that season might help me to get faster and give a lot of fun :thumbsup:
 
Common sense, avoid crashing, pay attention that noone is coming when you get back onto the track, and most importantly HAVE FUN!

We gather around 19:00GMT (20-21:00 your time)
1/2-1h warm up, waiting for people etc. Then Qualify (6-7minutes) -> Sprint Race (10laps). Feature race, startin in reverse finishing order of sprint race. 1 pit complusory.

Also, since in this case cars used are GTI/GT, and there are 3 races scheduled with them, it's either GT now -> GTI in 2nd race -> free choice for last race, or GTI now -> GT -> free choice.

It was 18:00GMT when we started usually. And race around 19:30. So if you come before 19:00GMT you will not miss it.
 
Ooops, 18:00GMT indeed. I must've been thinking in dutch time when i wrote 19:00. Sorry about that. :)
 
btw people... I managed to get hold of a wheel... it so happens my bro has a momo racing wheel as well in Hong Kong :lol:
