    @Red12b: I did put a bit of ballast on mine, but when I did that it was with the intention of shifting the weight distribution. My car ended up with like low 90 HP. I also do attribute really knowing the track to getting the fastest time since that track is literally my test track with certain exceptions. Everybody in the front of the pack did about 1:30 best laps, so if you can hit within a second or so (make that maybe two seconds or so since we probably all drafted each other) of that in time trial mode, then in theory you could have kept up barring the being human variable.

    Current Race Night: Race Night 19, Sat. June. 25th, 1pm PDT: Spec Ferrari 458 Italia Racing

    We are racing the Ferrari 458 Italia this week. This car can be found in the premium dealership for 283,000cr . To make it a difference from last week I'm making this Race Night a spec series. In theory this means that all variables coming from the car are eliminated. The only allowable modifications to the car will be listed below. We are using the horsepower and weight to restrict cars. The hp limit will be 575hp to allow for hp increases and the weight limit will be 1485kg. We are going to use racing softs. Aids are off except ABS, TCS, and the driving line. We are using the same points system. False start check will be on, as is weak penalties and there will be reverse grids.
     

    Allowable Modifications:

    • Oil change
    • Chassis reinforcement
    • Drivetrain upgrades
    • Suspension
    • Aero parts
    • Racing softs

    Position123456789101112
    Points20161412108654321
     
    The tracks will be:
    • Suzuka Circuit
    • Tokyo R246
    • Nurburgring GP/D
    • Toscana
    • Madrid Circuit
    • Rome Circuit

    @FrankCanada97: Will there be a PP restriction for the Italia's? Standard they stand at 558 PP, with aero parts installed and maximum downforce set it ramps up to about 570 PP, excluding breaking in the engine.  
     
    Also: could we do Toscana at sunset/night instead of Eifel?

    Yeah, specifically that right left turn you can take at full speed down the hill if you rock the car a bit :D

    @doejonathan: Nah, I'll keep it at hp and weight restriction for this week. Toscana sounds interesting, I'll change it to that.

    I just thought of an idea for future racenight. 
     
     
    Rep your country.  
     
    We are a pretty diverse group of racers every week and for one week just for shits and giggles, why not be forced to race in a car that came from your country? Just in case there are no cars in gt5 that came from your country, then do the nearest one geographically. Just to make sure it doesn't blow up in everybody's faces, the PP can be somewhere from 400 to mid 500's. Most Supercars at stock is 500 and up (the 458 italia we got going this week is at 570pp at the spec that is allowed for racenight), and personally they are quite heavy making some leeway for non super cars to compete when lightened and boosted. In fact make the wheels be Sports Softs even just so it means having the highest HP won't mean everything if you're car is just going to spin it all away. This is mainly interesting to me since I don't remember seeing any Japanese or Italian flags in our race nights, so immediately, we will not have any GTRs, Lambos, or Ferraris, but may set up matches that we might not see otherwise.

    @StaticFalconar: Hmm, best I could do without crossing a sea would be a DeLorean (manufactured in Northern Ireland). A little closer to home (but not in the game) would be the TMC Costin, somewhat of a rival to the Lotus Seven (Caterham Fireblade), which looks fucking awesome.

    It@StaticFalconar: I despise american cars. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to drive one. I would have to default to a Japanese car. But I suppose I could settle for a Ford RS200.

    anyway it will be a minor miracle if I wake up on time for the races tomorrow. We will see what happens. if im lucky I won't be hung over.

    @LutonHatter:  
    Trans mods are allowed,  (I think)
     
    I don't think I'll be using it though, the sounds of the gears distract me from driving, they have quite an overbearing sound.  
      
    I went through a couple, Aquamarine is quite a horrible colour and I highly advise people to stay away from it, Fluoro green is disgusting as well, I think I have found something special though.

    I read that as Transmission wasn't allowed I just thought I remember seeing someone else ask Frank and him replying but I can't find it or remember his answer (So I might of dreamed the whole thing)


    @eroticfishcake

    I've I could think of something that was both  inappropriate and garish I would go for it. Oh well plenty of time to think of something.

    Another little sneaky peek at that lil' website I'm doing. Finished the design and coding a few days ago, just need to figure out the backend php and database stuff, which, once added, will make the site as simple as me adding in the results for the races and all the stats and leaderboards will update automatically. At least that's the plan :) 
     

      
     
    Note: those stats aren't real above (apart from the mini race), they're just placeholder rubbish. 
     
    [[Also note: the image above might look slightly muted/desaturated; I seem to be having trouble with the colour profile.. or something. It's bugging the shit out of me, but it doesn't look like that on the actual web site, where the yellow is nice and bright and everything is correctly calibrated :) ]] -- EDIT Nevermind, seems like GiantBomb was fucking it up. I've uploaded it to imageshack and it should look right.
     

    Was hoping I'd have this thing done before tonight's race, but I guess that ain't gonna happen. :[
