Mikey.... gonna have to give us a different gearing for Sunset speedway. Taching out very early!

by XPR Roadrunner Mon 24 Sep 2012 - 17:02

you will be able to change the rear-end final gear ratios, tire pressure, brake bias and pressure and diff settings only.

everything else is untuneable, so don't worry about it. The settings that he put on the tune is a general tune for road-courses

Consider this more of a spec car version of the Classic TA Series... just as the original IROC Series was Cool

@ Dewey, I'll send you the unlocked version of the tune... for Sunset, I used something like 2:73 or 2:83 rear gear. Should hit about 183 MPH at the end of the backstretch. I am hoping that these cars draft effectively.

Choose 2:

Road Atlanta Full
Infineon Sports Car Circuit
Mazda Laguna Seca

by XPR Roadrunner Tue 25 Sep 2012 - 5:18

Road Atlanta, and either of the other two, I dont care

by DeweyTee Tue 25 Sep 2012 - 14:19

Hotlanta and Laguna Seca

This series is now on the backburner... I just reread silentalarm's TTA R.L> thread and realized that his starts next week. I'm not sure two spec series starting two days apart is the best move, so I will delay the start of this one 2-3 weeks.

Sorry

If its Friday night (gmt), I'm in. If its like midnight (GMT) I will have to pass on this grass.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Thu 27 Sep 2012 - 4:15

Series is under delay, but let's discuss Who would be IN and When would be the best Time...

I like the Fri 12M BST/ 4PM Pacific myself. but don't want to be a dicktator. So, what works for you?

by theboomeranga Thu 27 Sep 2012 - 9:25

Anything at 9pm BST at the earliest on Friday or Saturday is fine by me

by Duke of Bruno Thu 27 Sep 2012 - 15:20

4pm PST is somewhat possible for me on Fridays.

otherwise, 5pm PST to 10pm PST on weekdays and anytime on weekends.

by APX Caramel Thu 27 Sep 2012 - 15:33

4PM EST (-5 GMT) is the earliest I would safely be able to hop on.

And since I haven't picked.

Rd ATL
Infineon

by XPR Roadrunner Thu 27 Sep 2012 - 16:29

for meself, if i'm NOT working on Fridays, 5pm EST or later is good

by silentalarm42 Thu 27 Sep 2012 - 19:23

Anything starting before Midnight BST is doable for me, although I know I'm going to be in the minority here.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 28 Sep 2012 - 1:30

Great to see the interest in the series Cool

Seems that the initial time may work for most after all. As for it being Midnight BST, I plan on a quick show: no quallys as long as there are 16 entries or less, and race distances have been calculated at 40 minutes. Even with a Q session, it should be in out done within an hour.

And after a bit of thought and rethought, I would like to start the series on October 19th, a two week delay from initial starting date. That would give silent alarm's TTA series a chance to gain momentum, and still let this series get finished before Thanksgiving (US) holiday weekend.

by DeweyTee Fri 28 Sep 2012 - 1:33

Sois it on for the 5th of October?

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 28 Sep 2012 - 1:47

I am thinking 19th of October, to give the TTA Series a two week headstart.

by DeweyTee Fri 28 Sep 2012 - 14:29

Pitiful we can only get three or four guys to race this series! It surely looks to be fun........Oops this was meant to be in the TTA thread.

That seems to be following a trend that concerns me.

curious, why did you go with the z-28 and not the 1990 iroc-z one?? or even 2000ish pontiac firebird? j/w Smile

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Tue 2 Oct 2012 - 7:13

In the early years of IROC, it was truly International. In later years it was more like American Allstars: Mostly NASCAR with the winner of the Indy 500 thrown in.

So for season 1 anyway, I wanted to represent the "golden age" of IROC.

by RumbleBee 392 Tue 2 Oct 2012 - 16:43

i saw that video, and i agree with ya lol looking forward to it

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Tue 2 Oct 2012 - 17:40

Seeing as there is no TORA race today...

Anyone want to grab a 79 Camaro, apply the IROC tune to it (free on my SF) and have a go at it today? I'll be on sometime around 8-8:30 BST.

I know these cars race well one on one, but have yet to see what they're like in a group.

by silentalarm42 Tue 2 Oct 2012 - 18:09

I'll probably be on then.

by RumbleBee 392 Tue 2 Oct 2012 - 19:05

i'd like to give it a shot, you guys on now or in 30mins?
