Wish us luck :)

A second car is available for any other dutch driver. You dont have to be really good, this will be my first season too. Purely intended to try to be competitive, but mostly to get a good feel of the car and tracks!

I demand to know why I havn't known about this! :D

I'm not Dutch but I can wear socks like a Dutchman :D

And last but not least

I want boobies painted on the roof of the GT3's!

EDIT: Lenght: 6'7" Holy crap like UCP's tallest member maybe?! Blue Supra is shorter than you! :o

EDIT AGAIN: Good luck with you and if there is another Dutch driver who signs up, good luck with them aswell. Just don't drink too much before you race :D

Do these Porsches come with a Mike Parkes/Dan Gurney bump to clear your head?

Roy Visser
09-02-2005, 04:21 AM
6'6" might be closer though :)

we might already have a second driver, but you guys got to help me out a bit to make sure Wouter buys the full version :)



Do these Porsches come with a Mike Parkes/Dan Gurney bump to clear your head?

no, but if you look close enough, you can see the bump under the car for my recaro seat ;)

(ps i could try to edit the mesh for a 917 like bump, but i've seen this program for 3 weeks now ;) )

GREAT. I would only make a minor adjustment: I'd leave the Dunlop sponsoring (UCP alone as enough money to run the team :D) and instead of those words on white backgroud, I'd put the nicknames of the most regular UCP members. :D Mod's names in red, of course! :D

nice touch.

But taking the Dutch Dome-Judd teams approach to sponsorship...

Supporting members get their names on the car :D

hahahaha, i can still edit it, but this took me about 3 weeks :) I want everything to be perfect, but all body parts are on different locations, so its very hard to make nice lines, or nice decals. :)

for now its Wouter who has the first option on a seat, but im still trying to get him into the league. (its very limited with only 15 cars per class)


if he doesnt have the time, or doesnt want to race, then whats your best laptime in a 911 GT3-RS on SPA with all aids off, except clutch assist?

im currently at 2.22.207, but still improving :)

2.20.874 for me.


very nice, all aids off, Tirewear on, Fuel on? Simulation mode?


the difficulty in our fast laps is that we only do them in qualifying, and in Formula 1 style. One Outlap, and then as fast as you can. There's always a safety margin for error in our laps. Very hard to race fast when you know everybody is looking :)

to bluey and ricksta ... see first post "ultimate race simulator, GTR"

From SimBin a pretty good race SIMULATION rather than game, espcially if running it in 'real' modes :)

Best of all they've developed a 'Legends' version with lots of classic cars in it too :)
The demo's not bad and probably be another one to add to the list !!!!!

Tee only platform with decent graphics and fast enough processing for the real world to exist in - and a damn good network option :)
With decent feedback wheel you can feel the fronts start to understeer long before the car exhibits it. Damn good piece of work !!!

You can download the demos at http://www.10tacle.com/gtr-game/en/index.php?Homepage for GTR and GT Legends at http://www.gt-legends.com/demo_en.php

Roy Visser
09-03-2005, 04:52 AM
thanks matra!


but do remind, there are two demo's, one without the Simulation mode (which we race in) and the other one does have simulation mode, but old physics. Cars are alot harder to drive in the full version off the game. As wouter experienced this morning ;)

btw for people thinking GT is harder then NGT, its actually the other way around.. NGT has less grip, less downforce, and are harder to slow down, without locking your tires.

i only chose NGT, so i could be competetive in a Porsche :)

yeah it always annoys me the way the developers often brain-damage a demo so you dont' get a chance to really check it out.

GT Legends for example, I can't get the FF weheel to work, so it's VERY hard controling the drift on the Elan. BUT it did it's job and has caught my interest enough for me to want to get the full game when it launches :)

yeah i've been reading about GT Legends allot too, already thinking about a Ultimatecarpage.com Fiat Abarth :) I wish i had the space for a forcefeedback steeringwheel with pedals at my computer desk too, now its handcontrolling the gas with flaps at the back of the steeringwheel, and no forcefeedback :(

i tried with my Driving Force Pro steeringwheel, but it doesnt give the forcefeedback i want. i wish i had a spare room for complete gaming experience :)

Because you're resisting to try them out with a force feedback steering wheel.
And it's a nice thing that you don't try. That could affect the your daily oddball output. :D

I'll adapt to this game fully in no time. Back in the days it took me about 5 days to surpass the times I got with my controller on my first steering wheel, then took me a couple days to switch to the Driving Force Pro. MOMO wheel should be about the same as the DFP, except it looks different. :D GTR shouldn't be much of a challenge unless it's so realistic that brakes can catch on fire, suspensions can break, etc. :rolleyes:

you shouldnt have said that, we all learn it the hard way, but you said you would fully adapt to the game in no time, thats why we are giving you a hard time. BTW, hard tires are about 1 second slower then mediums..

Good to have you joining in!

To make a car just follow this tutorial:

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22269

You will need either Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop to paint the skin...then Porschenut can render it for you and get it game ready.

There's tons of good info in these forums too, do a lot of reading!

By using equal cars at least it increases the chances of close racing and puts our SKILLS in setup and driving rather than jsut picking the fastest car :D

Yes it does, I noticed every one here is using Porsches, would I have to use one also.

Example: If you and I were racing online you could choose whatever car you wanted to drive....and we will do that...but these Porsches are for the UCP Cup series beginning soon.

Hope you get going soon so you have time to practice, it's quite harder than GT4....but more fun.
