GT5 ROOZ CELEBRATORY 2nd bday, 10th season Event

It probably changed with every update Koastr. Are we at an even or odd number at the moment?

I suggest we finish this pre-season tournament as it is and find all these discussions as lessons learned for other events to come. Let's enjoy the clean racing which is why we are here for and give it our best in the track as we always do.

This definately brought a few good ideas we can use, perhaps too late for this one.
For what is worth, I'll concentrate on taking Emmo out on the next races to level the group... Just kidding mate, your speed and consistency just pushes me harder to improve..

the recommended garage/own car isnt really a big deal though, and it is only really relevant to this series as we clearly dont use recommended cars anymore.
its just in terms of simplicity for people that dont really have the time to run in the cars, i know its not seconds of difference in terms of run in and not, but for the sake of a completely even playing field (which is what the sunday series is about) it helps to level it out when every car is same HP and not 10HP different or whatever.
im cool with whatever, but it just helps people like turbo.

the only advantage really comes in top end speed, which would be quite noticeable on a track like HSR. Tokyo & Nords have quite long straights as well so, a fully run in car could quite easily swallow a non run-in car down the straight.

I have voted to leave everything as already planned, but use recommended cars as per when the original seasons were run.

Just for information, the arcade spec is exactly the same as brand new, not run in power. At least for the mclaren. 591hp/61kgfm. Run in (430km) it is 630hp/67kgfm, which is a fair difference.

yeah its not really fair i would say, the last 3 races i did where in showroom stock cars with no run in and i won all 3 rounds and considering this was Division 1 where it would of had the most effect if any, theres no real point changing it.

It really can't be that hard to just note the cars they are using this week and maybe buy in a bit advance, heck i bought all mine a few hours before the race.

The reason i voted for recommended garage is because thats what we actually did in the older seasons. so if this is meant to be a sort of 'nostalgic' event for those that have been here that long/the 2nd birthday of ROOZ, why not run it the same way it was run.
Like i said, i dont care either way, but that was my preference in the vote.

also in the OP
"This would give all current racers, an idea of how each season carried out"
the first 5 seasons were carried out using recommended cars.

no-ones said 'do this or that', only give reasoning for their personal decision.

I for the longest time shunned the B spec part of the game - really could not see the point of watching someone else
race for me - that was until i realized the importances of running cars in (this was only since starting back with ROOZ a couple of months ago).
Will agree that getting Bob high enough to do 20-30laps races can be the boring part but could be done in a couple of solid hours.
Certain level of commitment required to run in leagues - if it was easy it would be boring.

I think the more correct statement would be 'Certain level of commitment required to be competitive in leagues'

I personally race here for the fun, clean racing. Have never been too bothered about the winning (although I do enjoy it!), but I can understand other's competitiveness.

I think it should probably be left as is - the guys who have put the extra effort in to run in cars and practice will reap the rewards, but the rest of us will still have fun!

I don't see what the problem is if some guys want to use the car from the recommended garage or their own. I never run in my cars, just a few laps of practice during the week and that's it.
Too much time spent on this subject honestly, use whichever car as long as you show up on Sunday and race.

does anyone know approximately how much HP is added to car thats been oiled, but not completely run-in?

look back in the thread and you'll find the suggestions about recommended cars were made in the thread, its just there wasnt as much discussion about it, no vote about it either and it was decided to use peoples own cars on the basis of being able to personalise cars with colours/wheels.

my main want for recommended cars was the tradition/ensured parity across everyone in every divison, which is something that was never going to happen in the first round which wouldve required everyone to have run in all 3 cars to the maximum.
i never followed the points discussion to closely to be honest, i just want to split up the last race as i find high speed ring boring for an enduro, really looking forward to the ring though, shame about the pit

That was my reasoning too Zamps, but I've just found out I can't be bothered.

After 10 seasons and only missing 2 races in 2 different seasons due to travelling (not counting any technical disconnects or refusal to connects) I can't be bothered apparently. Go figure that one.
