This afternoon I managed some good results at Suzuka and HSR, PP500, with the C4 - a nice car though I prefer the Alfa. My settings were set more for acceleration than top speed but being able to take a lot of weight out of the car made it very nimble.

Fav moment, beating two French drivers at the HSR who were using the Clio :)
 
I've been racing on the PP500 today, it definately is a lot better racing then some of the faster stuff. The players in general seem to be a lot cleaner.

Anyway my tag is MGStuart if anyone ever races against me, I'll probably be in a Honda Integra - Type R.

Anyone tried Focus ST in 500pp races?
I had to add some weight to the car to meet 500, but it handles like a dream.

I have just posted some settings in the Euro tunners thread. I have been on the focus most of today. Currently trying it on Suzuka 500pp
 
I haven't raced in over a week due to all the disconnects. Tonight, I made over a million dollars in the PP500 and only had 3 disconnects!!! The majority of the PP500 races at Suzuka were amongst the cleanest I've had so far. At $50 grand a win, I couldn't have been happier. Plus, the races were so much more competitive. The cars are more forgiving, but everyone in the pack is running so tight, a slight mistake could cost you the race because you don't have enough HP to make up the lost ground if you are too far into the session. It's one of the most exciting series I've run so far.

After the crowd really died down to the point that there were only 2 or 3 of us, I got bored and went to PP700 (PP750?...I've been away since the change) at HSR. It was like all the wreckers and bumper car drivers all went into one server at the same time. I was driving a PP600 class Ferrari 512 and was placing in the top third and a couple of times I had a podium finish when I was able to avoid most of the nonsense. I shouldn't have even been able to compete with that car had it not been for all the terrible drivers there. It made me really appreciate the time I had in the PP500.

hello stuart lol (skylinecrazy) , had some great races with alot of gtp people, especially jase72
 
Ah skylinecrazy, we had that one good race the other day ;) (this is redmanRW-yes i know its a crap name and will be changed soon :))

me and my mini are invincible :D
 
I'm preferring PP600 at the moment, but mostly because the Jag dominates.

I might take a visit in PP500 soon with an Alfa or the Lancia soon though.
 
Ime getting bored with the integra so will be trying others, if you see me sliding all over don't worry
 
I got bored of the Integra ages ago, I mean don't get me wrong it's a great car and I'm a big fan of Integras, but so many people choose it it isn't a challenge any more. I used the Alfa for a while but started using the Mini because it's the best handling of the lot. I actually started using the '96 Elise today too, which really is a challenge because the way I have it tuned it only has about 140bhp so you need to go for it in the corners against all the 200bhp+ Minis, Integras and Focuses.
