Gran Turismo 5 R3V racing series

[Sagaris]

Okay im officially changing the schedule to Sunday.

I reserved my copy at gamestop. It's hilarious to see the kind of people that are shopping at gamestop on a weekday during normal working hours (hey im a student, I have an excuse :P).

Sunday is best for me. My Mom likes to take the damn controllers during the week.

Hmm I also like the performance points idea. Though Is till think the 320i touring car is a great candidate for our racing series. It has the closest power to weight ratio of an E30 M3. It handles well too.

Hmm makes me think how does this touring car make it but not a damn e30 m3

EDIT: my top 3 cars.
1. 320i touring car
2. E46 M3
3. 2002 Turbo

If you have played GT5 Prologue online you will be familiar with the performance point restrictions. You can modify whatever you want as long as the performance points dont exceed the specified limit. The new online private race lobbies allow for certain restrictions to be set to be eligible for the race. The only restriction here would be performance points.


As for races being Sunday night, as long as a bunch of people arent opposed to Sunday then we will switch it to sunday night. I will allow the rest of you guys to voice your opinions though

interesting. (i have not bought Prologue. why pay for a demo?)

I preordered mine yesterday. A spec series would be killer. weeknights or sunday nights are best for me.

I think Sunday is the best for me as well.

Honestly, I'll be trying my best to make the races, but I probably won't care if I miss a race or two or three or four -_-.

wont it be hard to regulate what people modify? (i would think you would have to do either stock or unlimited) If you did unlimited, it would a huge dimension of tuning. Its not like you just max everything out and that's the fastest the car will go. (suspension, transmission, LSD can all be adjusted)

We will see how many performance points get added up when the chosen car is modded to the max. then dial it back a tad from there.

For example: If a maxed out 330i is 700 performance points with R3 tires and full weight reduction and dropped down to 675 performance points when downgrading to R2 tires then It would probably be set to 674 so that you would need to remove mods to allow enough free performance points for R2 or R3 tires. Otherwise you could keep the fully modded car and run R1 or S3 tires

So it adds a dimension of tuning strategy.

Sunday would be do-able, Does Sunday work for everyone else?

Sunday works for me, doesnt matter how late since I have mondays off anyway.

The later the better on Sunday for me. Eastern Time zone.

[Sagaris]

are you going have it be a stock vs. stock race, or tuning allowed? non-tuned cars bore me.

I would prefer a weekday, or Sunday. Fri or Sat will make it hard for me to participate. 7 pacific would be perfect, though.

BMW M3 Coupe ‘07
BMW M5 ‘08
BMW Z4 M Coupe ‘08

I prefer the premium cars, as you can see.

Cool, 2 more spots left.

They posted some more screenshots today on GTplanet

I think I would pull a double-rainbow if I was in this picture:
