GT5 WORLD TRACK ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Car I've chosen Cyber is the Mobil 1 NSX '01. We are free to use standard cars correct?

No MR has to be FR drivetrain.

Ooooh, didn't even notice that lol. Ohwell, I don't want to conform and use a HSV-010 so i'll see what I can find.

I've tested basically every combo that can be done and unless you use a GT-R your going to be off pace, The Petronas SC430 is the next best then your looking over a second off the pace(keep in mind i did this testing at the next round at Tsukuba, it would be even larger at bigger tracks).

Thanks Musta, I found that out myself, 35 GTR's are quick and very easy to drive, tried a few others, Catrol '00 Supra was about .3 off at lagauna but it was much harder to drive consistently with it. 34's are just painful with understeer, well the ones I tested.

I'll see how the Woodone's GTR goes, tryin to keep a lil variety lol.

GT5s PP model favours N/A cars with Low torque massively, since torque gives you PP on this game the less of it the more power to weight it can have at the same PP, this is why you will Find pretty much any Honda is competitve at any PP you put it at, since there whole brand is based around High reving N/A engines with low torque.

There might be a Few LM cars like the RX8 concept which would also be a good match as im pretty sure its N/A, I already tried the RX7 LM around tsukuba and i was 1 second off pace, but its Turbocharged.

Also if you detune a car too much to get to a certain PP it will also be uncompetitve as for some reason it manages to keep the same torque figure as it does when it has no restriction so the car will tend to have much less power then its competition.

Yeah I know about the torque favoring and what not musta, does make a massive difference in HP/KG restrictions though. Had a castrol NSX with minimal DF and a ford Gt with 15kg more and same power, not sure about DF, destroyed me in the straights though.

I'm pretty sure the RX8 is turbocharged, well mine was, didnt check settings, but it was definately slower than the '08 Calsonic.

EDIT: It would have to be turbo'd as I had tuning prohibited at the time.

Remember tuning is prohibited, putting on a turbo and detuning gives you much more torque then just taking it off and then detuning.

But yeah FR wise the choice is minimal.

Edited post above, and yeah I always prefer to leave NA race cars NA. Especially Honda's and the 787B.. 787B shouldnt even be allowed to have the option lol.

Do you have the V12 Lister Storm race car?

Im pretty sure its N/A but its soo bloody hard to find.

Also im confused on the Amuse S2000 GT1, is it a race car or a road car?

To me it looks like some Time attack hill climb car but im not sure.

nah I dont have it, can't even say I have seen it. I'd definately assume it is NA.

Personally I think the GT1 is definately a time attack sorta car. Just can't really picture it in anything else.

Ok i did some more testing this is what I found and its quite shocking.

Hadn't really tried the GT-R before as I knew it would be around if not a bit slower then the weider, but i tried the Calsonic around Tsukuba and it was .06 faster with the GT-R, i tried the Petronas agian and managed to be .2 off pace but i think in race conditions it would be enough to stay.

Then I tried the Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo(not sure if this is allowed yet) just to see where it stands, and i beat all the times by a tenth!

Its more on the limit then the the Super GT cars around the track though and you can see it lacks a bit of downforce but it makes up on the straights i wouldn't mind using it lol.

So, I have finally found a car I'm satisfied with, The WOODONE ADVAN Clarion GTR '08. And no one is using it yet so, yay vareity lol.

It's not slower then the Calsonic?

They're close, personally I prefer the Woodone. And someone is already using the calsonic so see how it goes in 3 weeks time.

Whats up with the points table, it looks highly confusing.
