I'll re enable the 90's download Today for everyone

Skyline feels great around Adelaide which is surprising. Pretty confident in getting a good result with it this week. Gonna be awesome to be back in the beast.

Dunno what you did to my car RR1CHO, but it slides all over the place, takes 3kms to break and accelerates like a slingshot. Its awesome, never seen the 31 like this before.
Maybe I'm just too used to the Alfa.

Looking forward to trying to keep the nissan off the walls.

Having said that though, ill probly stack it into a wall and take out four or five cars.

Maybe ill sit off the pack a bit this time, I don't wanna call any more restarts.

Hopefully everyone makes it to T3 alright. Fingers crossed.

LMFAO That makes the fact that you asked me even more funnier,,
all i have done is make it turn better and adjust the gear box, played with the suspension but nothing i did changed how it felt, and as with all mods i go soft suspension and hard antiroll

But even i was impressed when it drove like an absolute weapon..
glad you like Cheers RR1CHO

Whats a good time for bathurst in a sierra (just think shaneskyline that setup with a bit taller box) PYSCHO! lol

Well I suck at setups lol, that's no secret. So yeah, yours is about 1 second better than what I came up with so far.

Not sure abt the Sierra time tho. I have a decent skyline setup for the mountain. But ill give yours a bash.

You gonna stick with the Nissan?

for shore tried em all but stayin with the nissan

Judging by the latest TCL teaser pics on facebook, you Nissan punters might get a nice surprise sometime during this year

Really looking forward to this series and how it pans out over the course of an actual year of racing

oh new cars are coming... how mad is the twr jag... zilla too... this mod just gets better everyday....

GTR eh?

Not sure having a car with more power than the Rs500 going around is a good idea?
just saying.

I LOVE all things Skyline, but getting smashed repeatedly by a GTR all the time would get old fairly quick.

Any info on the numbers it will have?

Practice event tonight as usual?

Ill be there regardless,

Damn

Don't think the physics have been done yet. I think it would be fine, the car is pretty heavy and as hard on tyres as the Commodore's... was a part of Group A anyway so no reason not to include it if it is available later on down the track. Seeing as your in a Nissan shayn, i'd assume you would be one of the guys eligible to try and do the smashing

i dont think i'd pick it tbh.

just jump in a GTR and start winning races. not that it would be that easy, but it'd be hollow victory.

While its frustrating to not challenge further up the grid, the struggle is good all the same.

if there is a gtr i will b straight in it lol

There was only one GTR in 1990. In the case it does come out before seasons end and we can swap to it I think the highest placed Nissan driver should get the choice.

Share it. Like Richo and Skaife did back then.

at the end of the day the m3 still beat it anyways so i doubt it will dominate every race... the sierra does not dominate every race now...grp c proved that last series lol... so i doubt zilla will...

If you were driving it shano, it would be a different matter.

online-results.net for prac race results or live racers

well done racer and berls. Big bangers rule at adelaide!

QQ, is there a difference between x3 fuel usage online and offline?

I pitted in tonights race, cos the gauge said it'd only do 12 laps. I was told this is wrong.
And that people didnt pit. And made it on one tank. Fair enough.

I just did an offline 20 lap race against the AI. Ran out of fuel on the last lap. And i was short shifting the last 5 laps. Prolly woulda lost like 4 places in a real race.

Not looking good for doing it on one tank.

they pit twice so would anyone object if i make it one compulsory stop each race?

Orrrgh, shuttup Shayn. Gees.

poll time

Yeh nah sometimes you probably should shayn.

If I'm honest, I object to it.
So what if you've gotta pit. I don't care. You picked the Skyline. Drive faster and gap the field.

No CPS.

Hey let's not make this abt me ok lol. I was just asking a question that's all.

Like you said mozza, I picked it so if I have to pit then so be it.
Hardly anyone had to pit last night so I don't want it changed for 3 cars.

And i didn't ask for it.
See how the poll goes, but I'm not complaining either way.

do they pit in real v8 taxi race?? like at adelaide...? if they do maybe we should also...

pittin on lap 1 then makin a charge with clean rd or splittin it half half.. or doin a last lap pit for a litre no tyres sort of adds to it all hey...

not bother me if we have to pit or not... maybe first race full sprint then race 2 mondotory pit stop......????????????????????

The V8s do pit, but its because they can't make the race distance without it, not because of a CPS.

ah ok... well i leave it up to the cheify to decide then... but if they not stoppin cause of cps then no need for us to have 1... is the jag ready yet lol????

ah well, just have to build a 20sec gap and grab 6-12litres of fuel somewhere.

gonna be a sweet race either way. im starting to like this track.

switching to 4x would make it more like the V8s... those things chew tyres and fuel like a G6.

up to wal though whether that would make it more fun or not...........

I'm happy enough with no cps. I'm sure the Skyline will have an advantage at some point.

lol i think the poll results are pretty comprehensive.

im happy to see how it goes.

As we are doing approximately 1/4 of real race lengths, most rounds won't need pitstops at all(unless 4x suddenly makes a killing in the poll).

Sandown and Bathurst will be 40 laps so all cars will need to pit at those tracks.

skyline is a great car to drive if the setup is right so stick with them guys.

W26

I just did a 20 lap offline race and rolled over the line. I started short shifting with about 3 laps to go. So I'm confident I will make it home by knocking off some revs each lap. Very easy to make a mistake around the concrete jungle so running a conservative race sounds like a plan.

Have a great race tonight fellas!
