GT5 The Nurburgring (200) 500 kms and Enduro Series.

Ok then, Season 4 ends on the 4th of September right? so let's hold the next enduro at Suzuka on the following Saturday the 10th of September.

How does that sound guys?

I've made a few small updates to the first page.

For the moment, the next Enduro Series Race is on Saturday the 10 of September at 1:30pm AEST.
I've pushed it back since the Pagnian Comp came up. And the 10/9 is the week after Season 4 finishes.

Plenty of time to test. See you there!

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make this day

ah that's a bummer man... at least I won't have to fight with ya on the last lap haha... that Audi race was awesome.

I set it back another week to give more test time. Hope to get a good turn out like the last round at the Nord!
Hope to see you on the track sometime for testing!

by the way, How's the start time for everyone??

Ran a bit of a prac session tonight with trusty. I was testing the AUDI R8 LMS Race Car '09 on RM tyres.
Got it to 1:58.599. Still fine tuning it...

Hey guys, not sure how everyone is coming along for the Suzuka Enduro?

I've got an addition to the series, we will now have scoring.. but not with points but by overall time that a driver finishes each round! adding the times together after each round.

The series is now reset and Suzuka is Round 1!

I know it's been very busy round here at the moment but please let me know if you can or can't make it to Round 1 on the 17th. Would appreciate that!

Thanks guys!

I'm keen Seido! Do I qualify with that same evo 10 in arcade mode?? Not sure how it all goes but just put down a time that i'll send in soon

cool!

there's no need to qualify for this series. but depending what div you are, you have specific tyres which is the same set up as the main season at the moment.

To anyone who wants to take part in this series it's easy, just take your machine of choice inside the reg's and get ready for race day.

Since the Time Scoring has been added as of today, I'm not sure if we should have to stay with the same machine for the whole series or be able to change for each round if you want to, like I originally planned.
What's your guys thoughts on that?? and anything else of course!

I'm ready to go on the 17th mate

Cheers aza. What car you gonna run? how are your times?

probably the Camaro RM '10 mate

Hey guys, updated first post!

We have 2 weeks until The Suzuka 200! and I want to replace the 645pp reg with BHP/weight reg's to improve the quality of racing.
If I could get your inputs on this it would be really helpful to set in the new reg's asap and allow time to set up or adjust our machines.

I'll get on it this weekend...

After a good bit of testing at Grand Valley this weekend, I think a 552 BHP and no weight limit may work quiet well. (first post updated)

Here's my test results...
Grand Valley. 2 laps. RM tyres. TCS 0. ABS 1.

320i touring car 03. 1140 kg 355 BHP. 1:59.424

Integra type R touring car. 1050kg 407 BHP. 2:00.395

OPERA s2000 04. 920kg 370BHP. 1:56.8

WEDSSPORT celica 03. 1050kg 411 bhp. 1:54.8

impreza super touring car. 1030kg 528 bhp. 1:51.4

fto super touring car. 980kg 495 bhp. 1:52.2

viper gts-r oreca race car 00. 1232kg 550 bhp. 1:50.XXX

integra type r (dc5) 04 race mod. 950kg 394 bhp. 1:59.XXX

*EDIT 6/9

Civic Type R EK (RM). 845kg. 400bhp. 2:00.946

Acura NSX '91 (RM) 1045kg. 412bhp. 1:58.3

TAKATA dome NSX '06. 1100kg. 552bhp. 1:50.054

R8 LMS race car. 1300kg. 552bhp. 1:50.6


*also tested these but at a higher bhp...

calsonic skyline gt-r race car 93. 1260kg *590 bhp. 1:55.1

a4 touring car 04. 1100kg *600 bhp. 1:52.6

can anyone think of a car within this series regs that will throw a spanner in the works?

*EDIT 6/9 After more testing I think a 500 bhp may be better. I'll try it out with the same cars as above and if it's better then implement it from round 2.

ok, so after some further testing, this time at 502bhp. It slows down the real powerful faster cars a little bringing them closer to the cars that are much lighter and have less horses. 502bhp I think will give some even more close racing!

So 502 bhp it is for Round 1 The Suzuka 200. Let's get on the track and test for the 17th!

EDIT* start time now pushed 1hr back (more details on first page)

EDIT* New and car rules:

Drivers can also change cars between rounds if they wish.


What are your guys thoughts on that?

EDIT* reverted back to the original tyre regulation. Which is using the same format as the main raceonoz season
DIV 1 Race Hard
DIV 2 Race Med
DIV 3 Race Soft



Cheers for the prac session tonight trusty and 32. You guys were putting down some good laps!

So the car's name must say 'Race Car'? Cos yeh as u know i was using the GT1 s2k last night. I know gt5 doesn't say it's a race car, but I reckon if the lexus is considered a race car, the honda should be.

here it is....racing lol

If not all good, will find another beast to tame

For a car to qualify to enter this series, the name should contain RACE CAR or RM.

I found a great Race Car list that a bunch of players put together on the gtplanet forums.
I've edited it to include only the cars that qualify for this enduro series.
Some cars may be missing, I've checked over the list and can't seem to see any..
