Well last year we had some 2 hours races with that mod, and many Porsches did not cross the finish line because of a blown engine. But some drivers did, nursing the engine all race long.

wouldn`t this be worth a little HSO engine reliability update? i mean, the porsche has no chance on nearly every track even with a "reliable" engine. and reliability is and was always their strongest advantage in real racing. in reality, these rsr`s had about 330 HP and the engines were reliable as hell. you just can`t kill it. so, it should be even more reliable with the 280 HP, which the flat 6 delivers in the Mod.

I managed to blow my engine in the Bmw last night after just 3 laps
so had to detune my car a little

The GTU class is looking a little unhealthy know with a major swing
towards the GTO class sounds like the election for are Goverment ...

Could it happen that the GTU class is dropped ...

Joli chrono Julien

I'm on the verge to crack for a GTU-campaign. Just not sure what car to choose yet. And maybe a GTO-Vette may also tempt me. But I will normally go for GTU Capri or Beemer.

It would yes, and it would be easy to fix, but the problem is, will people still want to race with a tweaked mod ? I'm not sure about that.

i understand that point and it is absolutely fine for me!

whats actually the main problem of the engine, so that i can try to avoid that. is it high revs on acceleration or overreving on downshift?

Pour faire du monde en GTU, je passe sur la Capri #22

Acceleration or downshifts, the result is the same, its sensible to high revs.

Ok Ben c'est cool
Ta Pantera reste pour toi si tu décides de revenir en GTO ou si la catégorie est annulée. Ça sera pareil pour tous ceux qui veulent passer en GTU.

Ben is switching from GTO to GTU but keeps his Pantera in case if he wants to come back in GTO, or if the GTU class is canceled. Same thing applies to anybody wanting to switch to GTU.

Pourrais-je avoir la Capri n° 3 et, pour le cas que le GTU serait abondoné, la Corvette 143 stp?


BTW : j'ai un peu testé les GTU. La BMW 2800 semble bouver des pneus. 10 tours de Toban short et 4 pneus en jaune.

set the gearbox higher and try to avoid everything above 7500 rpm

hmm, i will definitely need some engines from zuffenhausen this season

In fact, according to the engine file, the engine is being damaged when you go over 8000rpm.

Salut a tous

L’équipe BMW ma appelée se matin et ma demandé de passer en GTU
Ils avaient un manque de pilote pour l’équipe dans cette catégorie.
Il mon assuré de retrouver la CSL #25 s’il y avait un problème en GTU.
J’ai eu a choisir entre la 2.8 CS #49 ou la 49 ou la 49
Alors j’ai pris la #49.

So, you, me and Carlo are going with the corvettes? Carlo did a drive yesterday in the server with me and Vince with the vette. I just want to know which car I'm driving. I feel good with the vette, so no trouble at all

I'm switching to GTO class too, with the Vette #57

It's looking like we're gonna have the GTUs after all... Thanks to all those who agreed to switch categories

J’ai appris qu’une équipe Niçoise c’est montée sur Ford capri pour courir en IMSA GTU.
Ça va arsouiller sec ! :raclure:




Yannick

Cool du renfort en bm, les toulousains en force, on va les doser ces niçois avec leur voiture de m'as-tu-vu enfin on va essayer

Mais tu peux pas prendre la 49, c'est la mienne

If i could find a Capri with the UFO Skin
then i would be tempted to jump onto the GTU
Bandwagon

Hé hé ouai cool, team Toulousain !
Ça va envoyer du bois !

Yannick

I am sorry, but I have one stupid question...it is possible that I didn´t install skins right...so...where can I find them in mod´s cars structure?

Je peux pas participer dans tous les cours mais je serais dans la grille a Daytona

#456 Vette svp

You will need to download the HSO IMSA 1976 skinpack to see all the skins below. Just extract the rar file in your HGTTC rFactor install. The car which has all the additional skins is specified between brackets.

GTO CLASS


BMW 3.0 CSL Schnitzer
Add-on skins (on #870) :

De Tomaso Pantera GT4
Add-on skins (on #86) :

Porsche 911 RSR 3.0
Add-on skins (on #81) :

Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray
Add-on skins (on #456) :

GTU CLASS

Porsche 911S
Add-on skins (on #41) :

Ford Capri RS2600
Add-on skins (on #52) :

If you Wanted a Capri click on car #52 then on the skins tab and you will see all the extra skins

je devrais finalement pouvoir m'aligner dans la série. Bon ca va couter bonbon car la 3G c'set pas donné. Mais j'ai trop envie de rouler de nouveau. Donc ce sera sans doute une 911 RSR que je vais prendre. Je donne mon choix definitif d'ici demain. Par contre je ne pourrais peut etre pas faire toutes les courss.

Alors je vais me permettre de pousser un sacré coup de gueule. Dis Guillaume c'est quoi cette usurpation de skin? Je viens de voir que la #9 c'est ma skin Porsche que j'avais faite pour l'ECGT. J'apprécie moyennement que l'on utilise SANS mon accord une skin que l'on a modifie en plus en lui collant un autre nom. J'aurais donné mon accord sans souci mais là je trouve cela un tantinet malotru (pour rester poli).

Je vais la prendre mais dans ces cas là il serait mieux que tu recolles la skin complete que j'avais faite en 2009 si tu n'y vois pas trop d'inconvenients parce que rouler avec une voiture marque Carlos ca va pas le faire
