The official "NEWS FROM THE SOCIAL NETWORKS" thread

I don't get it either. People are literally increasing his exposure and financial reward by visiting that site. I already know the rationale of many... "Oh...I go there just to laugh at what a loser he is!!" Hey, to each their own...but by clicking onto his site you are supporting him. In my mind, that means you support what he does. Of course, "you" isn't directed at you @liakjim - I just happened to respond to your post because I agree with you.

I was under the impression that Ian Bell also gave the dude an actual race car! Or, he's at least financing the turd's racing career. It's something like that...I guarantee it. Talk about supporting what the troll does?

 

I think the relationship developers/ PRC is a bit like the one Trump has going for him with the mainstream media .

 

only if PRC is trump in this analogy: a complete idiot and a narcissistic dunce

Its finally here! Both new M4 and R8 GT4 are going to be at VLN 24.

 

Yeah, the new Audi R8 GT4 is participating in the N24 this weekend with some impressive driver line-up mainly sourced out of Audi's DTM program.

GT4 is the new GT3. lol

 

Looks like GT goes around in circles, first GT1 was too expensive, so GT3 was introduced, simpler cars, no widebodies, cheaper to buy and to run. Now the GT3, that progressed meanwhile, turning more complex and expensive, so those simpler, cheaper GT4s are becoming more popular.
Although to be fair, both GT3 and GT4 are much more balanced now, better recipes, if you like, so considering good economy I feel like this time, instead of being replacement, GT4 will act as a doorway into GT3. Higher budget teams don't downgrade to GT4, but instead, lower budget teams can afford to go into higher end racing, though it is couple of steps below the top end. GT4s are proper now, finally well organized too, instead of being collection of cars that more or less fit together. Another step in the ladder of premium racing.

 

What's the optimum RPM to shift at in the R8 LMS 16? Figured this'd be the best place to get a quick answer. Feels like when the last red light comes on- but looks like torque drops off way earlier around 7k.

 

Take a look at the power graph. Torque drops somewhat after 7000 rpm but power stays flat until 8600 rpm or so. Limiter is somewhere at 8500-8600 rpm. Basically, rev it out until you hit the limiter.

 

If you dont want to have to check power graphs everytime you can download sidekick. It has a feature that tells you when its the best time to change gear. Look at the rpm once the light turn yellow and you know it without having to look at power graphs. I dont know who it was that said this but it was someone here on the forum, i am forever grateful for that.

 

Sidekick has two ways to use shift lights.

a) peak power near the rev limiter: simple shift lights only determined by rpm (you can set the threshold in Sidekick's options, I think default is 92% of max. rpm for yellow light, 96% for red light).

b) a complex algorithm for peak power (way) earlier than the limiter, this one takes rpm, power graph and gearing into account, so i.e. the optimal shifting point for the same car can be different between 2nd to 3rd or 5th to 6th gear (etc. ...)

400 people have downloaded this mod, im confused by that. Everything there can be done with custom lobbies in 10 minutes or so. Not trying to put down the author but im surprised at the number of people that still download career mods.

 

Hahahaha. Some guy linked this in the comment section of PRC because it pretty much said in the article that the console release was a huge misstake:

Im sure they regret that they got in contact with 505 and Digital Bros. All the way to the bank

 

Well, rather 'Somewhere in Den Haag'.

 

FTFY

 

^ ^ Just in: Kunos aquired VW license!!

 

ok then.

 

kool

 

So, this makes the 4WD Beetle (Kommandeurswagen (Typ 87) ) from the 1930's a possibility?

 

Someone saw this already? On Marcos Facebook.

 

I'd be very surprised if we don't see this car coming to AC with a Ferrari expansion.
