GT6 "Touring Cars" series....2014

[ecsrobin]

Can me and Daniel get some honorary points for being booted from the server? Maybe like 1-5 points each just feels bad I did an hour of qualifying, and 30+ minutes of racing to get 0

Yeah good call.
What I'll go with for the series is if you genuinely DC by that I mean get dropped from server but come back in and spectate for remaining duration of race (IE RAGE QUITTERS won't get anything) I'll award you points for last place.

So if there were 7 finishers (as there were in this case) those that DCd will get points for 8th.
sound ok?

what times were you doing?
i was running 59s in my elise

Best I could manage in the S2000 was a 1:06.1
On the point about banning the Calibras. Tonight was probably the closest racing I've had pushing on to the limit to catch Y2 and oversteer both of which I had a fantastic, hard battle with. At the same time I was having a tactical fight with robin as I pitted earlier to try and jump him when he pitted. If the Calibras were banned then maybe there would be battling all throughout the field?
Though if they were banned I would say let the points scored using those cars wouldn't be taken away and the ban would only be placed on 480pp category.

Great looking MX5 btw.

Do i get a point for that?

On the subject of Calibras, how about a rule whereby if you win a race you can't reuse that car?

Won't people just be encouraged to finish second in every race? Surely you're better off to finish second in every race, than win one race and finish 3rd,4th,5th,6th etc etc in the following races?

Yeah like those "tactical" race one 4th places by guys that usually cleaned up week in week out in one of the old series to avoid weight penalties for race two.

You could do something along the lines of not allowing down tuning past a certain point. I mean if a car has 440bhp and is being down tuned to 310ish then it's not completely representative of that car. IMO cars should only ever be tuned up

Yeah I hear ya MrO but no way of setting the lounge to restrict it.

Easier to just say No Calibras for 480pp though, as much as I don't want to that looks like the only viable option.

And that way those that have bought them haven't wasted CRs and can still use them in the higher PP races later on in the series.

Don't necessarily need to restrict it in the settings, you could for example list all the cars that are say 500pp as standard and limit the 480pp races to those

Forza is great if you are 12 years old.

Quality pics. And in a completely non biased manner, it's a pretty heroic effort to stick the s2000 on the front row

Even more impressive than Vettel sticking a Toro Rosso on pole

Calibra update.

Everyone can use (if they want to) the Calibra ONCE and only ONCE for the 480pp races.

I'm Looking forward to Trail Mountain on Tuesday evening.

Seems fair though at the moment I can't afford anything in GT6 so I'll have to save up for it!
Can't wait for trial mountain by far my favourite track, loved it since GT3
