I'll try to make as many of these races as I can. No garantees though. I will take one of those MPR painted and tuned Supras though so I can at least participate in testing. I would also like to make a contribution to the series winnings. I'll match Max. Don't want to outdo my team leader now do I?

So starting on this next upcoming Saturday (the 18th) I am going to try and get a test room going at around the 9pm EST start time. Hope to see some of you there. Until then I will let you all know when the official number plate is ready and all the other details I haven't decided on yet.

 

See you on the track!

 

@ Kat - Based on this, I would say yes

@ Daddy, no problem. We'll I'll get that NSX tuned up for ya. There's also a really simple race design I could possibly do for you too real quick. Just need to make sure I have a certain vinyl group. If I have it I'll post a photo to see if you like it.

@ Kat, yes we will be testing tonight.

@ Cooter, Thank you! I will update the prize list soon.

@ everyone, I have a dinner to attend tonight but I should be back before the 9pm EST testing start. If anything I'll be a few minutes late. Some of you also know that I have issues with getting my Forza4 disc to read in my x box. Usually I can get the disc to read after messing with it for 20-30min. Last night was the first time I couldn't get it to work. So unfortunately if I can't get it to work, I won't make it. I'm gonna try like hell though...

H2, I tweaked this NSX... It's a great car, drives well. Check it out and see if you like it.

I'm a novice painter compared to some of the incredibly talented folks we have around here. I can handle the more simple jobs though. If you want I can whip up a Mobil 1 livery for this thing. It's extremely simple but it's a iconic livery for the JGTC NSX.

Let me know.

Thank you to all that attended the testing party and thank you for all of the input so far. I want this series to be enjoyable for everyone, but I also want to see some great racing as well.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions or concerns with anything so far.

Hi,  

Does anyone have a tune for the Honda NSX, that they wouldn't mind sharing?   The stock tune I was using could have used a little more grip,  still had fun sliding around Nurb.GP.

I was there for only 2 races, but I did like the 1 or 2 second separation at the start of the  Nurb. GP race, less stress when I brake early for the first corner. 

Thanks

Are these cars all pretty equal?

 

They are pretty expensive to buy all of them just to test them out and see which one I want to run. And since I'm going have a team mate, and I'm the one picking the car I don't want our car to eat ass compared to the others.

 

 

Only one purchased/tuned so far is the Lexus. Feels pretty awesome, but not sure how it stacks up against the others yet.

If you have extras yes, send em over, I'll drive and tune them, and then send them back when I'm done. That way I can buy just what I need instead of all of them.

Stewie and I are driving The Honda NSX I believe, and pretty sure we're going to run the Raybrig design ( I like blue...)!!!

Similar to this but, you know, on the correct car....

Seems like "on paper" the Nissan is the fastest car but it on the track I think the Supra is the choice to make.....regardless...this is the car I think Im going with....

Awesome designs Oldschool and Kat! I was hoping I would see a Raybrig NSX yes

So far I would say these cars are all pretty spot on. The Supra is great. I spent some time in the NSX last night and that's a great car too. It needed a bit more tuning than the Supra but it's fast. Cobra was tearing it up, as usual, in the Lexus. I saw some really fast laps from him in that car. I recall Grim hauling ass in his GTR as well. They all seem evenly matched on the track.

I'm going to put my tunes for the Supra and NSX in my storefront soon.

Thanks Drivebye. Looks awesome. I didn't get a chance to try it out tonight. I dropped down several classes to something a little more manageable. I was getting a little discouraged driving those beasts. I needed a night of slower rides to build my confidence a little. I will give it a try tomorrow. Thanks again. I love it.
