Lol, I couldn't make it tonight, but was there no room?
 
We ran several races. WiiFreak one the first. I was sandwiched as cars went 4-wide on like lap 3 or 4 and was out of contention when I lost control. The second race the same thing happened. 3rd race I finally made it to the end. I was down on power but my gearing was perfect for draft passing. I could have won but I was the dummy caught out front with one lap to go. No one dared pass me because they knew the only way to win was with a slingshot move.

We ran some other tracks too. I'm uploading videos of Nurburgring and Laguna Seca.
 
I swear I didn't bump Nic into the pit wall intentionally...I didn't even know where he was. My car was sliding and I was countersteering. When I finally regained grip the whip-lash of the bus knocked him away. LOL. That was some fun racing.




Lots of action at Laguna Seca too. Lap 1 I got a draft off iForce and was about to go outside when he move out...so I went inside instead. There was quite a bit of contact, as if he didn't even know I was there. Gotta check your rearviews bud. On the 2nd turn he divebombed and pushed me out...not cool...but I recovered.

 
Yeah i did that to send you the message i didnt care for the pass where you went off the track @ 1:58 then hip checked me off the racing line.
 
1:52 -- You are center on the track, leaning toward the left
1:54 -- I attempt a move to the right side of the track
1:55 -- You move right leaving me no room to pass on the right
1:56 -- I correct my line and go left
1:58 -- I am along side you and you turn left.
2:00 -- I leave you plenty of room on the right to continue alongside me as we approach the hairpin.

Not sure what you thought I was going to do, but if you block the outside, i'm gonna go inside...plain and simple. If you want to turn in on me after I've established overlap, that's on you. Although the track has a slight bend in it, cars (or vans) can still run 2-wide and that's what I was expecting you to do. No racer would ever turn in on a car that has that much of a jump on them. If you didn't see me (aka using a view that doesn't have a rearview mirror) I can see how it may have looked worse...but that's still not my problem.

Watch Nic and I later in the race. We have no problems draft passing one another. On the next lap he makes the exact same move. I don't hit him because I knew he was there. Who cares who is in the lead, it just gives you a chance to make another pass attempt...hopefully one that isn't construed as malicious.

The draft in this game is highly unfair to the lead car...but its something you've got to learn to work with. Practice following closely so you make the most of it...and make your passes clean instead of divebombing and pushing others off the track.
 
first couple of races in Daytona was all about draft and not making any mistakes but sadly i lost control halfway thru the first lap that ended with me playing catch-up as always. Esh was planning to bump draft me for the 2 of us to catch up, but i couldnt keep my line up front so i decided to let him pass with me at the back.... same story! Sorry Esh! :guilty:

by the second race, i was lucky enough enough to catch Chuyler's draft who was following Wiifreak. We started at the 8th,9th & 10th place passing everybody all the way to the lap leaders and finish the race within less than tents of a second for the five of us upfront. Forgot who won. 👍

i was planning to slingshot pass the last turn but was afraid i might lost control and take out the group so i played safe.

gues it takes 3 to Tango!!! :lol:

Note: slowest start i ever experienced in a GT5 vehicle!
 
Glad you all enjoyed the bus! 👍
 
Last night Samba Bus action in Daytona:


SLOWEST START EVER!!! :lol:

 



as close as it gets!!




who's BUS is sexier?


Catching up to the leaders!


"wait guys i just saw a Shakey's Pizza Parlor!!!"

hmmm! really? thats after that very long loading screen? didnt notice that, but i notice some of you guys are just letting as pass by? LAG?
 

i was probably concern more about losing the draft than looking at the laps. I did save the replay and the pics above were taken during that race. Ill check it later.
 
I think the cars may have run a lap during the black screen. Whatever the case, it's a PD fail. Microphones work fine the entire time but the game can't load the track? FAIL!

Racing the vans was fun...but the draft was painfully unfair to anyone out front. Running clean lines was moot. The vans almost doubled their HP in the draft. However, unlike other vehicles in the game, the vans lost speed very quickly once you left the draft. Timing passes was much more difficult. I just wish that two vehicles bump drafting could overpower a 3rd car trailing behind.

What do you mean by that? :grumpy: For the first time i succesfully drafted both of you and WiiFreak just to be in contention. If your bumpdrafting WiiFReak and what wrong bumpdrafting you?
 
If two cars are bump drafting, and another car can follow behind that's one thing. It's when the car following the bump drafters can slingshot past both bump drafters that I start to call B.S.

it was possible last night, i almost tried it in the last corner but was afraid i would hit you guys running 3-4 wide in front me, i played safe and waited for a good pass but none materialize. I dont know if its B.S. but timing your draft when the drafters in front of you loss their momentum seems normal to me. Its the notion that its getting too predictable thats its becoming a cheat. IMO

but thats racing, as long as its a clean pass! i cant argue with that... PD FAIL i guess!

the time trials are too easy, 2 millions in five minutes
 
I haven't bothered with the seasonals in quite some time. I know its fast cash...but I really don't need cash. I've got all the vehicles I need and my b-spec drivers make quite a bit thanks to all my friends racing them (Thanks guys!)

Explain this friends letting friends race B-Spec for you...?
 
Share your drivers...your friends do the rest. Check back later and you'll be able to cash out their winnings.
 
Do they get anything in return?
 
What speeds did you all do in qualifying for that race? I could get 130-131 mph by myself, just curious how the rest of the field was doing.
