GRM Assetto Corsa Racing League - GT4

Other than my complete lapse in judgment on turn 1 race 1, last night was some good racing.  Is next week the finale, or are we pushing it out to 12 races?     

In reply to cmcmillin31 :

We're doing Bathurst next week, everyone needs to practice not crashing or spinning out on the downhill section

In reply to cmcmillin31 :

We can keep it going if people want to.  These cars have made for some really good racing.  
 

If we keep going maybe reset the HC?  Or not?  I am really liking that the HC seems to have really pulled the field together. Having 4-6 car battles is what this is all about.  I mean winning is great but battling someone for a bunch of laps is so much fun. 
 

I managed to drive from the back in both races last night. Lots of battles and passing. I had a great time.  
 

I did find a car for a single make series that could be fun.  I was using it a little at Targafloria to test my manual shifting.  Boy do I need practice!!!  

Looking to join in on these, how many events left with the GT4 series?

I joined the discord and downloaded the cars and tracks.

I've raced GT4s before in iRacing but only minimally in AC.

Is there anything else I need to do to race this week?

Obviously I'm aware I won't be in the running for the series overall and I'll do my best to drive accordingly.

In reply to mhaskins :

Next week is the final race for this series, though we might extend for a few more weeks.  I suspect, points wise, we probably should conclude next week. I was thinking we could setup some sort of mini-challenge for groups of cars with similar ending points (e.g.Dean, Brick and me).  Everyone would race, we just only compare the grouped cars.  We can probably do a quick eval on you to figure out where you fit.

We are also looking for a new series, so if you have any particular racing interests, be it types of cars a particular car, types of racing or a racing period, let us know.  AC has a ridiculous selection of cars and track a available (some might not be top quality of course).

First off welcome!!!!

has anyone updated your status on discord?  Prodarwin aka WatsonTheGreat is the discord master.   Pm Pro here and see if he has authorized your access on discord.  
 

As for the GT4 series we are going to finish the points race this week. We will pole people to see if they want to use them some more or if we will be moving on to somthing else.   
 

An interesting thing is that the GT4 cars are not really that fast so do we go to a faster series?   But they are race cars with lots of grip so they are fast so do we go to slower cars?   An interesting conundrum.  

I have found an old school 911 RS that I really like driving.  Manual shifting for those that want it. It has the proper amount of "I am going to kill you" Porsche handling.  I love cars like this.  It is what I would call a fast street car.  
 

We will be testing it at some point.   
 

Did we do a spec E30 series at one point?

Also Gameboy has a car pack we need to look at that I think would be great fun.  
 

The short of it is we have so me really good options.

I was added to the discord a couple days ago. WatsonTheGreat gave me an invite.

As far as an eval, sure feel free to message me on discord @haskell_flatts. I haven't driven bathurst a ton. Just tested out a few of the different GT4s and I was running just over a 2:20 in most. 

For future series ideas I've found a 996 911 cup car that I've been enjoying lately. Manual shifting, still some of the old school 911 feel, ABS but no traction control I believe. It's a very well made mod. The default setup is usable and there are 20+ numbered liveries.

Is there anything I need to do for car assignment this week/how do I know what cars are still available?

We can work that out before the race. If needed I can add a car for you to the server. At the moment we have three McClarens so if you can pick something other than that it would be appreciated. 

In reply to dean1484 :

I'm out of town for the race this week, so feel free to use the one I've been driving.

Sounds good, I'm not particularly attached to any car. Happy to use whatevers available. 

Highlights.  Those last 3 corners were a huge source of issues:

A huge thank you to everyone that has participated in this series!!!!   I really enjoyed it. 
 

I am looking forward to sharing more tracks with you all in the next series. 

Oh and we have a tie for the season championship. Gameboy and Sauce. We are going to have to sort this out but I think we look at event wins and then race wins and then first race wins. Air can decide on this as I don't think we have ever had a tie before. 

Congrats to both! 

Looking forward to seeing the final results. 

I was disappointed to miss out on the final race, but we were on the road...

PPIR wasn't our destination, but we did drive by...  

High Plains Raceway in CO, where we had a race in the 914-6 series, is where we will be running tomorrow and Saturday.  Sorry about the bugs... 

In reply to Rodan :

It's a fun track. Share some vids of the event. 🤘

Here's a Big Merc from the track for Dean... 

Final Results and Standings:  I see where I messed up in my projections from last week, I was looking at the Adj Points, not the actual Points.  Gameboy was only 1 point behind Sauce in Adjusted points (with drop) but was 5 point behind in actual points.  I kind of figured Gameboy was a lock, but Bathurst is a pretty harsh track for the McLaren, neither are very forgiving of even small mistakes.  Of note is that Rodan and Drilling were also very close! 

You've got me and Drillin' flipped... he should be 3rd.  I knew he would have to get the overall win in the last race to edge me out and he did it... good job! 

Sweet!!!!

The whole series had a lot of great racing, I think we're gonna have to look out for rascal flatts in this next series too.  He was quick right away.

Going to test the cars on the server this week.  I need to get the car pack Gameboy put together and test it as well.  

I just re-uploaded the .zip file to testing with all the non-Kunos cars, the ND, Toyobaru and tuned AE86 would need to be added in with those.

Edit: Once we confirm that the cars are balanced through testing I have some tracks in mind as well...

Testing tonight!!!  You don't want Air or I to pick the car for the next series!!!!  So show up and test with us and help us pick the car for the next season.  Otherwise, we could end up with double-decker busses (Yes we have raced them before)  LOL.

I'm still on the road, so I won't be on tonight, but whatever you guys come up with is good.  Well, maybe not, but we'll still find a way to have fun!
