U2SC GT2 Spec Race Series

We are only adding Race Breaks, Race Driveshaft, and Race Rims where applicable...

This^^ is a million percent true. the stock tunes for the cars are amazing and extremely easy to drive with no assists (as in I can only get it to drift if I REALLY want it to). I tested multiple cars, but I went with the BMW just so I could put that on the rear bumper haha  . Of course, I had to mess around with the tune settings a bit and I think I made my BMW a little easier to drive around Road America at least. I'm not quite finished with it though, but when I am done, I would be willing to gift my setup to anybody who wants it.

Anyway, my suggestion for this series is to get rid of as many assists as you can while still feeling comfortable. If you still use traction control, stability control, or ABS, this is a great opportunity to start driving without it. The cars grip the tarmac better than any production car in the game with only a few minor spasms here and there, so you would only be losing time by using TCS and STM with how controlling those assists are. Also, after a little practice, those carbon ceramic brakes are a million times better without ABS so you will be able to brake much later without overshooting the corners.

OK...  So we had a good run tonight...  Tonight's results..  Oh and Welcome back Senseless Atom!!!

If you run a make-up race, please take pictures of the finish screens...  Pics or it didn't happen!    What night works best for everyone for a make-up?  Wednesday?

Was great fun racing today. Been missing that :-)

Also, why is my fast lap in red?

Because...  You had the fastest lap...  Just marking it...  It's not a bad thing, and I should probably change it to Green...  

Ah, I see.

However, is there any specific reason as to why the Lamborghini is the only car who isn't allowed to install brakes?

Wow, that was even closer than I expected! That was some great racing last night, and I am definitely looking forward to next week

Cause it doesn't have that upgrade available... OR that could have been an oversight...  If it does have that upgrade available, then it's allowed..

I cannot believe I overslept

didn't matter, there was no racing last night

So it was postponed? If so, to when?

Nobody was on FM4 last night, so I figured that I wouldn't even bother starting a lobby. can anybody do wednesday night?

The only days that really fit my schedule is tuesday and saturday night, as it starts 4am my time. Though, I could make an exception with a load of coffee

Hey guys....  Sorry about missing last saturday..  This week's been NUTS...  I've had calls every other night with our Asia Pacific Offices...

I will also be out of town this Saturday night (The wife is dragging me to Knoxville to the UT home opener)..

We could do a double header on Sunday...  Or maybe make up week 2 Sunday night and then a Makeup for week 3 on Monday night...?

I'd appreciate it if we did it a day I would actually be sober. And. me and  beef tried to do a make-up run here the other day

Yeah, Atom, Joe, Reus and I did a make-up race last wednesday. I suppose I should post the results, I just have to find where I put the piece of paper I had them on....

club hot lap challenge

car: 2008 Audi R8  bone stock

time to beat"

Catalunya GP  2.09.932
Hockenhiemring  2.04.113
Indy GP    1.40.683
Infinion long  1.54.230
Mugello full 2.15.843

all laps were clean, just post results here on the honour system.

I think this is a pretty good idea. Maybe we can do a separate thread for it as a fun little club challenge

Are those standing, or flying laps?

those laps were flying laps. I'm just not that good to post those times from a standing start.

its good to see I still have the lead going into the weekend

I was going to try to beat it last night, but I got caught up in some rivals racing and forgot all about it

winner gets to pick car and track

Here are my best lap times (all are clean)

Catalunya: 2:03.867
Hockenheim: 1:56.317
Indy: 1:34.333

you struggled on Indy, only beat me by 6 sec.

Hahaha I was thinking about turning the braking line off to see how difficult it would be to beat your times then, but I figured I would just keep slamming into walls
