Will prob use the Civic racecar for the lower PP band, I had a cracking one of them in GT5

[Killer2005]

May I join in? Think I already have Y2Blade on my friends list, if not is Killer_2005

You meant Multiclass?
No, different PP for different rounds (all run the same PP)...for example:
Silverstone GP = we all run 650pp
Brands Hatch GP = we all run 580pp
Willow Springs International Raceway = we all run 480pp
etc etc etc

I'll sort out EXACTLY what rounds we'll use each PP band ASAP, but that will be the format.

Thanks. Only 60k at the moment. Need to buy N2O for 2 of my cars in the PHPCC for next season still.

Looking good to me, if we start this week I'll be missing first 2 rounds as I'm on nights.

Not starting for a few weeks yet.

Excellent, got my 480pp touring car sorted yesterday. Gives me some time to sort the other 2 now

What's peoples thoughts on tyres? I had a little test with a Mclaren F1 647pp with RS tyres and it felt way too grippy, wouldn't break traction coming out of second gear corners so I'd imagine the lower PP cars will feel even worse. Thoughts?

We are racing not drifting...for now tyre choice is down to each individual.
I've not seen much sideways action in any of the touring car/GT series races I've watched on TV.

btw Did you test in an online lobby with the correct wear settings?

Was in an online lobby, i know we are not drifting (personally I like race cars on sports tyres )

While there isn't much sideways action in real life racing, they do struggle to put the power down, they can't floor a 700+ bhp Mclaren out of a corner without lighting up the tyres.

I don't mind soft tyres, it just makes things that bit less realistic IMO

Have you Tried another car? I'm in the Team Oreca R8 race car tuned to 650PP right now and it's spinning up all over the place on RACE SOFT in 2nd and 3rd gear on corner exit!



You haven't left TC on have you?
