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!

Is anyone considering running the GTR for this series? Surprised not to see anyone in it so far. I tested it and it seems to be a solid car. Thought more people would choose it!

 

[Michael Watts]

Solid Car sounds good, but you have to be kinda special to extract speed from it.

 

[Marksest112]

I actually thought it was really nice to drive around Austin, it's got a lot of power and downforce. Maybe it's weaker at other circuits, I'm not sure. Be a shame not to see it on the grid.

 

[Michael Watts]

Well there are a lot of cars that can be run.. I've never seen such a long list of choices, and we can only put a max of 16 drivers in when things are working properly.

I really think it's a good car. It's heavier than some other GT3s but it's got more power and a lot of downforce!

We can go with the non endurance care. I'll take 911 if you are taking 912. Not worried about the saved setups as I am going to delete all my setups and make a base global set up and tune off of that.

I can always switch over to the non endurance 911 in the PRL league. We are still in preseason there.

Sounds good man. We'll roll with that then.

Spiff - #911 Porsche GT3 R
Chunt - #912 Porsche GT3 R

What number do you want Eric?

 

[mcnasty1]

Not sure il look when I get home.

Ran Watkins Glen last night for about an hour and a half with 13 of 16 and it was pretty solid. A few blips here and there, but I'm not sure whether that was on my end or the hosts.

Is there mechanical damage?

 

[Ben McCluskey]

Is there mechanical damage?

No, there's a bug that gives you engine damage for no reason. However I believe you can still blow your engine if your oil pressures gets over 270°F

S6 is finally here, along with a new game, what do you so far think of Project Cars 2?
It has great potential, but there are still so many bugs that need to be fixed. This game shouldn't have been released yet. We should do a season in GT Sport instead

We've had almost 3 months of off season, how have you found it/spent it?
I definitely needed a break. 3 months is a tad too long, but I wouldn't mind more time off between seasons (like a month or so).

What in particular are you most looking forward to from the new game this season?
LiveTrack 3.0 sure seems to add another dimension to the racing. It sure isn't going to make it any easier, but I'm looking forward to the crash videos.

 

[Shea Samuels]

Where are from Shea..? I'm not sure the lobbies can handle much more than 10-12 at the moment. But I'm actually interested in creating a EU lobby.

Me and most of my crew are from the States (we have one South African member), so we wouldn't be the best fit for that. However we would be willing to participate in those lobbies if they're the only ones available.

Good game, but same old story as everyone else.

We've had almost 3 months of off season, how have you found it/spent it?
Away from games I went to F1, MotoGP, Speedway GP, British GT and BTCC, but then lots of testing once my wheel arrived.

What in particular are you most looking forward to from the new game this season?
The weather changes should spice things up, and who knows, maybe we can have another round of destruction derby at Donnington

That's indeed good news. I'll post an invite on the SMS forums and see who turns up. Also, I'll put a poll up with three choices -- GTO; Group C1; and GT1. When we get 6-7 I think it's a go. Ovals and Road Courses. If the lobbies are stable, we won't have to worry about the A.I. on ovals (but I will say, I ran with them at 120% skill and 0% aggression (at Indy) and it was a pretty authentic experience. They were still a bit slow, but not bad.

 

[Rob]

GTO are mid 90s muscle cars that can run on both ovals and road courses, although in real life, they never ran on ovals. They were part of the old Trans-Am Series, that was mostly in the USA. Some say they remind them of an old school stock car with better handling, which is why they are great for ovals.

Group C1 are the early 90s Prototypes in GT style that were part of the Wold Sportscar Championship. These cars were almost as fast as F1 cars, with a higher top speed. Perfect for ovals and road courses, since they love to go fast and sound great, and strike a balance between GTO and GT1, but are faster than either.

GT1 2000+ FIA spec cars that preceded the current GTE Class. They were not designed for ovals, so they are not really a challenge to drive on ovals, but are not just a walk in the park either, because of their speed. On road courses, they fly.

Are track limits still 2 wheels on the curbing?

Turn 1 is 2 wheels on the red stuff as the nature of the turn puts you out wide. Everywhere else is 2 wheels on the kerb I imagine

Lol that’s means you have to go slower if it pushes you wide.
