I'm very interested to see how this "real" draft setting for on-line will play out (will confirm tonight). In GT5 the strong setting was utterly rediculous and the weak more than enough if not too much???
Church - with the one make model selection, there will be no tuning allowed or numbers and you can only select 1 car which may or may not be there nor will the "Base Model". think of the one make as showroom stock cars. Is that what you want?
I think you will need to use the filter by performance. This way you can set max HP/PP tires, etc
Unless you're talking a wet race allowing people to run whatever tire compound they want is the same as saying race soft which may not be necessary for the car??

But with fast degration set will that be the best option?
Each race will last for approx 37 min each.
Altough with so many options I need to keep testing stuff to see what works.
I'm aiming to have all the settings finished 2 weeks before the start. It also doesnt help its our first GT6 series and most of these options are new.

Yes there's that which is the only way to get you what you're really looking for. Stop trying to kill yourself Church not every race in this series has to have dynamic something or other. Here are some things to consider though...
1) Not sure about Qualy sessions but once you set the room (as host) the course timer starts immediately and doesn't restart when the race starts. Point being no matter how much you test the room settings to your preferred race settings its difficult to gauge how much time will elapse before you start the race. Unless they fixed this in GT6???
2) All soft tires will degrade at the same rate and always quicker than medium or hard. Only thing I ever tested in GT5 was soft tires on very fast which lasted around 10-12 minutes and died near 18-20, about the same time your gas would run out.
3) the amount of gas you take on during a pit stop dramatically affects the pit time...make sure you take enough but dont waste time filling your tank for no reason. Parcells lost a race because of this stupid rookie mistake but its a fantastic game element for strategy.
4) In wet races the amount of surface water means everything and GT5 didn't do a great job of forcing you onto wet tires as you didn't really need wet tires until the surface water was near 70%. However, here's a cool idea maybe?...Having recently tested in 100% surface water I can assure you heavy wet tires are faster then inter rain so I bet it be pretty easy to set up a race starting where inters are faster than heavy wet and have a reversal of fortunes well before the race ends using advancing weather!
5) Dont fuck up our first GT6 series. We're all counting on you so dont disappoint us OK?
wow the room set up etc seems waaayyy more complex than good ole forza eh. Have just picked up silly cheap ps3 ( would have been a crime not to buy it really) and gt6 i may run some stuff altho cannot get head round how the online thing works just at mo, seemingly there is no party chat and you have to remember to connect your headset before firing up the game...sheesh. Is there such a thing as car clubs for us noobs who dont have all the cars?
Tire selection will be critical. Fuel is not so much an issue but rather how hard you punish your tires. Do you go easy and stretch a single set of race hards or do you go balls out on Race Soft with a pit stop. Testing/preperation for this series will require a bit more work than in FM4.

only had the game for 2 days and enjoying it so far, I'll jump in soon once I get my feet wet and get a little a customed to the tracks and tuning aspect. I run with no assists or racing line and don't wanna jump into an unfamiliar track and ruin some ones race :)
Title states Feb 17? is that correct or should it be Jan 17?
Fantastic! (in a Gary Barlow voice)!
Now we just need the GT6 Track Night Sorted Church!.gif "130")
Yeah church gt6 track night ????
We can do Thursday nights at 8pm GMT.
I won't be able to do this one though as it's my daughters birthday. I will host one next week though :)
I will get the rules etc up soon. There is that many options open to us now i'm trying to make something the best I can.
With the rain, mandatory stops, weight handicaps Draft setting, Grid ordering, qualification stuff etc etc its killing my brain.

Well, I'm out. Can't do Fridays. Boo...
Want to run this but pretty sure I won't be home from work in time to make em all. So I signed up.

Yeh I need to play with this more.
I want everyone to use there own tuned car and run on what every tyres they choose so will have to set the lobby up using the settings above.

Also at least half of the races will have a possibility of rain.
I will be using the weather chance option for that so if it does or not will be random.
However if it does turn to rain by the end of race one the rain will continue at the start of race 2 but may turn out dry by the end.

OP Updated
I will be adding to the OP over the weekend. R/L has been crazy busy this past few weeks but Xmas is over so lets move on lol
Church, can you confirm the PP and HP settings once the car is built to spec. I came up with PP=484 and HP=336. Thanks
That is the same as mine Grim!
Added to rules:
PP Must be: 484
BHP is: 336
Yeah forgot to add that cheers grim!
Give me 10 min!

Ask Kurupt how goopd I am at this lol!!
So is this on a Friday or a Sunday ? ;)
Friday!
All races are to be held on a Friday at 22:00 GMT, 17:00EST, 16:00CST, 15:00MST, 14:00PST
Can you tell I'm used to the Sunday slot!
I will get the Max PP of each car tonight lads!
Sign me up :)
do I have to get my international a license to join online lobbies?
also is there still a money glitch available to help out with funds or do I have to grind it out?
I belive you only need the International B license but could be wrong on that. As for the money glitch, its closed up however there is a way to build up the bank pretty quickly. here is a topic that might help - http://www.2old2play.com/forum/divisions/2old4forza/sub-forum-gran-turismo-information-and-discussion-area/credit-making-tips
Hope to see you on the track soon
Cheers

Current driver list!
Will the other two guys I keep racing with be joining us Parcells?
If so I will put there names down or you could e-mail them the link to the table?
