Interesting story about the new Honda in JGTC. Good story, I think Ill race in JGTC next season. Who else from EZT will be racing in it?

I always sign up for the JGTC in the hope i can make a few races, but Sunday nights are always busy for me Sad

JGTC offers something different though. Its easy to get into the Stockhatch car for instance, and run a really good time consistently, but with the JGTC, you have to be wide awake, and really on your game if you even want to set a decent lap. It requires alot of skill to drive high powered RWD cars with no TCS.

Which what makes it interesting.

p.s. Still prefer the stockhatch though lol Very Happy

There's usually 5 or 6 EZT members running in JGTC. Hope you can join us next season.

I hope I can! Its something I really want to do, even if I suck. Which I know I do in cars that fast. Proven by Kestral's SR8 series. I ran practice with him and was at least 3 seconds slower a lap. The car felt like $hit though. Im a Supra guy btw.

The JGTC cars aren't as hard to drive as you might think. You just have to remember to gently squeeze on the throttle as you accelerate out of corners. Otherwise, the back end comes around.

I can drive the stock C6.R with minimal problems. Throttle control is something Im good at.

OOOOHHH, Now I remember why I cant. The racing line... I need the Braking line otherwise Ill be DNF along with another driver every race. I know youll say, "Just turn it off!". But No racing line in the fastest series will take ALOT of time to get used to. Ive always had some sort of braking indicator in the racing games. Gran Turismo had the little flashing light that I would use to time when I brake.

Without the racing line, you have to find your own braking indicators. That's why there are marker signs at each corner. You can also use marks on the track, the start of the rumble strips, anything that works for you.

thats why i've never raced with the braking line so i never got used to it Smile
