PC2 Project Cars 2 Leagues (merged)

[Rob]

I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me!

[Dominic Ollivierre]

I think I'm gonna have to pull out. I just don't have the time to practice to be competitive, and with uni being very busy I don't know If I will always be able to make it in the mornings due to staying up late for uni work. Thanks for the great racing all.

Karl it was pleasure. We appreciate your commitment to it in the mornings. We will be here racing if you decide to come back. Good luck and cheers bud

Press Conference
Q: After the first race, did those of you who changed cars find benefits?

Yes, the M3 has far more raw pace than the MP4

Q: For those of you who did not change cars, do you have any regrets?

N/A

Q: What are the challenges of this circuit?

Like the others say, carrying speed

Q: Would you be happy of any rain here?

Haven't tried the M3 in the rain, so not sure. Although I'm hoping that since the setup feels absolutely on point, I'll stand in good stead, as last time I had a good setup in a wet track was imola.

Q: Any predictions for this race?

My car is feeling awesome, took ALOT of setup work, but I'm not gonna make the mistake of zolder, someone's probably hiding something.

I don't know why you guys think this thing is such a beast, lol if say it's even with the Bentley if anything. I could only get two clean laps in Friday before I left for Texas (best lap with fuel 2:19.2). Now I'm going to be gone all week with no way to practice . Then I'll be testing the AMG when I get home on the 15th with only a few days to prepare. Of course my biggest worry is now with the house on the market someone buying it and then I won't have a place until my new house is finished...meaning No Xbox

 

[AbeWoz]

sounds like you need to rent a hotel room for race nights

 

[AbeWoz]

Here's beetes and I at Donington from a few days ago. Just a little snippet.

I tried to undercut the final hairpin, but took too much curb.

Press Conference
Q: For those of you who did not change cars, do you have any regrets?
No regrets, but should not have wasted time trying other cars, lost my flow with the Bentley for a bit at
Zolder.
Q: What are the challenges of this circuit?
Nailing your apexes every single lap, not doing so is costly.
Q: Would you be happy of any rain here?
Rain or shine, happy to race here. The race is on against the Elsayeed webbed footed beast if it rains or the other terrorists if dry.
Q: Any predictions for this race?
It shall rain, it shall be dry, a merc shall podium, a Bentley shall podium, a pole position record streak shall be broken, the title contenders shall fight, there shall be carnage at turn 1, the best driver of the day shall win.

All you need is a generator, Table for Tv, Racing rig and a wifi hotspot. If it rains, an umbrella.

 

[AbeWoz]

or one of those 10 x 10 picnic canopies.

I'm going to run some test laps this evening if anyone cares to join. Message me on Xbox and I'll set up an online room.
Should be on around 5:00pm EST for an hour or so.

Wild Stuff:

Great video.

 

[AC Hatemaker]

I'm in. I think i can remember my way around this course.
Edit: Damn I didn't see that the #72 was taken lol, I'll take the #24 Alban car.

 

[Marksest112]

I think the Merc will be very quick but the times I've raced online at Spa in public lobbies its been Bentleys which have beaten me. They have more than enough power to get up the Kemmel straight in a hurry and they always seem to be pretty agile despite their size. That said I think its a track which suits a lot of different cars in different sectors, should be a good one!

 

[EpilepticToast]

hard to see anyone in PL beating you Blue, gives me some hope lol. Do you know what times they got in the bentley by chance? I continue to struggle to get below 2:17 but will tune more by next wed. Mclaren's are pretty good here, and the guys driving them are definitely ones to watch in any race! 2 for 2 lol

also I'm surprised by the times Michael, I'm sure the merc will come alive here eventually, it is the dark horse for me in any public lobby, nothing except maybe m3 tops it on a track like this. Hopefully it remains close, should be a good race regardless.

 

[Dalai toma]

Using the same tune from donington with a slight change in camber and toe I was able to hit 2:17.7 with about half fuel

 

[Marksest112]

I think they were running 2:17s maybe lower. Im having to go light on the downforce to be competitive on the straights. I'm also using the same setup that 888 used at donington. Doesn't seem to be too bad at the moment, a bit tail happy in the fast stuff. Haven't done much running yet so I can probably trim that out.

I think low downforce and lots of mechanical grip is probably the way to go here. The aero on GT3 cars is more for balance than actual grip anyway I think.

 

[Dalai toma]

I've tried both low downforce and alittle higher and I'm only losing about 3 mph in the straights but the extra df makes up in some of those sudden turns
