Will anyone be hosting tonight?
 
Join my lounge!
 
Why not do what Chuyler suggested a few days ago and use his lounge. Most people have him on their list and can join that way...

Make sure you back up you data to an external source.

Woke up this morning and everything was gone thanks to corrupt game data. I had backed it up a week ago, but I have lost everything since the middle of last week... oh and about 40 million credits in my b-spec drivers.

It's a verbal agreement. If you win, you don't race the same car next race. If it constantly wins by huge margins in every race its in. Then it is no longer allowed to run the rest of the night. It's just a mutual agreement we have together. No need in writing it down. We're all friends, and understand how it works.

Dude, I'm not being argumentative, but it's the first I've heard of it. I've raced maybe 4 or 5 nights, had no idea about this rule and I may have run the same car more than once in an evening and won in it...my apologies if that was the case. Perhaps to avoid any hard feelings, it should be in the OP somewhere. Maybe the dude in the Lotus might not have run it over and over if he knew as well.

I didn't save the GVE race. All I remember is touching the grass in first place at the top of the hill and drifting sideways all the way to the hairpin. Someone tried to cut inside me during this time and I think I may have bumped them into the wall.

Yeah that was me. You were pretty much 90 degrees to the racing line, and I wasn't so much trying to cut inside of you as just pick a side where I could avoid a collision. As it turned out, I think I knocked you straight and you continued on pretty much unscathed, and I went into the grass and spun and my race was over. Disappointing finish for the night but crap happens...lol

That may be true but we all aren't on the same skill level. Have you ever noticed how there's always a group of cars that just completely pull away from the rest of the competition. Sort of like LMP cars do to GT cars. You don't get faster by blocking. As this was once said, if you see a faster guy coming up, let him by and follow him. You can see his line and where he brakes, and this may get you a little faster. Like I said, if you're on this forum, you know when you're doing something you shouldn't be doing.

How about you follow the slower guy you get stuck behind and learn how to pass a slightly slower car, nice and clean so we don't have to have these discussions all the time? That's a learned skill too. You need to earn every position you get, cleanly and without contact.

Honestly i more pissed about being on pole and starting 11th.

One of the biggest problems i have seen online is that just because you have made a pass doesnt mean that you are now automatically awarded any part of the track that suits you,especially at the end of a high speed straight so close to the braking zone.

I qualified second and started last...lol. Actually you are entitled to the racing line of your choice if you are clear of the car behind you from what I remember of GTPlanet rules. That doesn't mean it makes a lot of sense to pass up the inside at Fuji for example and at the last second swerve over to the left when you are a foot clear of the car in front of you of course...lol
 
I'm ramming everyone who posts in this thread off the track next race

The discussion was over. There was no resolution, we decided to stop talking and do our thing on the track. The guys who were intentionally blocking on the straights found out they will not be able to swerve on the main straight due to the rules, along with not being able to drive people to the pit walls. Everybody will try to do clean passes as long as slower car doesn't deliberately cut towards the passing car. If there is contact, it is what it is.

I can host for about 2hrs, then let somebody else take it over
 
Some really fun racing tonight, let's do it again some other time.
 
Some racing from the RX-8 night.

Tokyo: I cut through the entire field in a lap and a half. Some minor rubbing here and there. Anyone consider these passes dirty? I was being quite opportunistic trying to make the most of my momentum. However on lap 2 I backed off on passing cenk at the kink. You can't go 2-wide through there so I braked early and ducked behind him. It was a smart move because he hit the wall on exit. Prior to that, I was a little greedy with the track when I passed Yuri. I was trying to give him room on the outside but I got a little more understeer than planned and we bumped.

 
last night was fun ! we battled with Benz many times 👍 I wish I was able to log back in but the server kept dropping me after finally i was able to see 11 cars on the track. 80s night tonight ?

Chuyler, you drove very good at tokyo ! a little contact is ok, those looked like love taps :) I was happy to see my RX8 hang with the group after my 03 eating dust at fuji lol

We should repeat the RX8 night sometime, cars looked pretty equally tuned :)
 
Now i know why i could'nt turn into the right after T2 lap 5.

I thought you cooked that turn as you were on the inside, I think I remember your car going clear and I might have went past through you. There was no contact on my side. So you couldn't turn in ? Your exit speed looked good in the video.

Since you're asking the question, here's how I saw the pass you made on me. I keep my map scale on 2 so I can see everything close to me. I saw you behind me, and as I entered the corner and made my turn in you were not making a move, so I tried to take my normal racing line but went a bit too deep and missed the apex but still with lots of momentum. After the turn in point, you decided to go inside of me, hit me, took me into the wall, cost me a couple of seconds and the draft and continued on. I may have run a little wide into the corner, opening the door for a move, but the obligation is still on you to make the pass cleanly and without putting someone into the grass or into the wall. Had there been no wall, I would have been off the track, spinning in the grass.

I didn't complain at the time, nor would I have mentioned it but you did ask for feedback so there it is...lol. That's why I never ask for feedback...lol.

I agree that there should have been more discretion on this pass. You're clearly side by side and there was no attempt made on Huylers part to stay inside.

Sorry i referring to the T2 split @ 9:16 on the video.I was turning in then ended up smashing into the wall.I dont know if it was just being off the ideal racing line because i saw you coming up the inside of me that caused my crash or if there was contact.As we saw earlier when i ghosted my car was way too tight and that could very easily have been the reason,but i cant say for sure from that camera view.

Im not mad about it but it's a lesson learned.


The Chuyler pass on johnny was not good.Yes the door was open but in that spot with that slippery curb it had little chance of being clean.

Oh there.. you looked at the mirror and were late to brake for that split second, as you come over the crest, missed the braking point by a foot. I was seriously 2 cars to the right of you, no contact.

I think Chuyler could have pointed the steering wheel to the left a bit more with some ease on the throttle, and it could have been a %100 clean pass. But he had the tokyo rage :) that move leads to his pass on me, and the race lead ;)
 
At 9:16 you (iForce) have an entry speed of like...90mph, which would be enough to send you into the wall in any instance.

However, despite your speed, Cenk is still able to come flying up the inside, suggesting...something. I was too far back to see anything.

Chuy should check my view. I think if we could actually download the replays, it would be really cool for everybody.
