GT6 [CANCELLED] 2014 ROOZ Formula Gran Turismo World Championship

OP updated.

How many people did use aids? Having made the decision to have terrible pace with NA and a bad setup, it would be knowing whether aids are actually essential. What does ASM do anyway?

Anti Spin Mechanism.

It makes the car feel very numb, but harder to spin. Not essential.

ASM as in active stability management.
I don't think u need aids apart from abs.

the most important thing you need is maximum front downforce the rear can be a little bit off max as well but that also has to be high, regardless of the track without the aero like that you will be seconds off the pace.

Is it allright if we vould start this weeks round a bit earlier, i have a night shift on this day at 10pm and would be really tight for time if we atart at 8:30pm.

I can host as well if you want, i already have everyone added.

Yeah man, this should be all good, providing we have none of the problems we had last week...

I used 550 710, I remember. I guess the only round where downforce is actually fun to play with will be Monza, but somehow I actually think the 80s layout will render even that round pretty useless for ingenuity; the Lesmos get turned into long flowing corners that downforce thrives on, as opposed to unbanked, right angles that could get away with less aerodynamics.

Also some food for thought: what about changing the Monaco duration after we now find out that Indianapolis was 1 hour + and it was a killer... One hour is shorter than all the rounds. I wouldn't mind doing 2 hours at Monaco because it's more technical, and there should be more action and more cars to see.

I'm going to play around with
Monaco a bit more to see how the
tyres hold up. I would like a 2 hour race but if it means pitting millions of times it's not worth it. GT6 tyre physics make no sense because low speed corners wear the tyres out more than high speed. In real life, Silverstone is probably the highest track for tyre wear, whereas for Monaco it's one of the lowest. But in GT6, it's the complete opposite.

Also i think Nurburgring would do much better with soft tyres only, the Schumacher S becomes much more drivable and the wear is equal to Mediums due to less spin.

For monaco, why not just have the traditional 78 laps?

Even Monza is faster with High Downforce then with low, the reason for this is the aero on this game does not give enough drag for a high Downforce setup so even though a a max DF setup will have lower top speed it is not proportional to the lack of corner speed loss from minimal Downforce.

Reality would tell you low downforce is common sense for monza as the speed difference in real from max to min Df would be about 50km/h at the lowest, where in GT6 it would be about 15km/h.

No! Don't make the tyres any softer... I'd really like some harder compounds in the season.

I agree however, that 78 laps is a staple of Monte Carlo.

If you can go through the Schumacher S with full throttle on Mediums, then they're a good tyre. For that matter, if you can go full throttle on Hards, they're a good tyre.

You can't go full throttle through that S with any tyre and any DF setup, and in Mediums and hards it requires you to brake which in turn triggers the Rev glitch which will spit you off the road unless you are extremely delicate, the Soft tyre is the only compound which allows you to go through the S fast enough to stop that being an issue, but is still miles away from full throttle.

This is more proof that GT6 Aero model makes no sense, this level of corner speed would be at an early 1990s level of downforce, yet you can go through Spa's Eau rouge flat without effort like 2000s era downforce.

Go to 4:45:

Schumacher S was Flat even in 1995 lmao

a even better view, go to 26:26 easily flat in 1996:

The first race didn't seem like it was long enough.

So as a result, Monaco will be 78 laps, and Spa will be a two hour race. Nürburgring will become an RS/RM race.

A great song to play pre race.

@N64TheStig007
Won't be able to race this Friday, I'm travelling to Sydney on Thursday and fly back late on Friday.

Fastboy could you take the spot?
