I’m down to try whatever! Will you be on tonight? :cheers:
After our epic Swift battle, I WOULD challenge you to take me on, at Nordschleife, in the Subaru WRX Isle of Man Time Attack car, with its absolute dustbin of a turbo and DRS, but luckily for you, I happen to be reinstalling the game today.... Lucky this time...

I’m in!! I’ll never say no to a challenge! :D

It's what I often do for daily milage - 2 laps of N24. That Subie really is very capable. A lot more capable than it seems when first driving it. More importantly, the turbo sounds like heavy industry. I guess I'll let you know when she's reinstalled :p
 
Very curious about the time trials they added. Game is still copying, man that takes a loooong time. Hope i can get a couple races in at willow this morning

Missed yesterdays music discussion. I've got a little something for all my fellow GTP metalheads. If this don't get your blood pumping and make you want to put the pedal to the metal I don't know what will. Without further ado,

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod



Love that song, fantastic album. Lamb of god just did a covers album under thier old name, burn the priest, amazing version of this song.

It took me less than 10min for the update ? Everyone saying its take a long time How much time it is 4 U ?

It takes my stock ps4 pro 35 minutes to copy the 95GB game, the download takes less than a minute.

2 time trials, 2 weeks to set the fastest time. Bi-Weekly time trials. That shouldn't take too many away from sport races, something to do when you miss a race start. Sadly no VR option :(
 
Bah, forgot about the update although the banner was annoying me all evening yesterday :lol: So copying GTS instead of getting a few morning races in sigh. So slow.

Time trial added to sport mode, hmm, more reason for people to stay away from actually racing. I guess I'll do a few laps on the Nord but will quickly get bored of it. I can do time trials any time and seeing how crap I am against the best in the world doesn't make it any more exciting :lol: I suppose you still can't do the sport mode time trials in VR? That would have made it better.

As for reason for penalty: DR.B driver rolled a 12 sided dice, DR.A driver rolled a 6 sided dice and lost, then rolled a 5 sided dice, 3 sec penalty.

I wonder if it's going to say it for every SR Down as well, advantage gained? Blocking a faster car with your rear bumper? You look bad?
u might not like time trial but they are good 4 someone like me when my wife is at work im alone with kids and i also have to answer the phone because both my boss and wife told me racing in Turismo is not a good reason to not taken the phone call lollll , and last time i was racing alone with my kids my 3 years old daughter fall down stairs and broken her colarbones i almost got kill when i told my wife i was racing :eek:
 
@QC YALUM It's the copying not the downloading. Og ps4 possibly makes it take longer....

I feel the same about the time trials. Home alone = racing, other wise i run qualifying laps. Now i can work on a proper time trial once i am happy with my qt for the races. I also love that it is not region locked, i can actually see all my friends

You should be... But I know just what you mean.
 
I guess we are gonna need a thread for the time trials, perhaps done similar to this one with a "head" post each two weeks when the new ones start. Nudge nudge wink wink.....

Since the wife is home this morning i have been trying the nord in the 930. This is proving to be very hard for me. I am having to drive with tc2 when i can generally go to 0 in road cars, and the brakes are made off wood i am pretty sure lol

Still hope to hit up willow a few time before work, she leaves about an hour and a half before i do today lol

I had to quit one of my very first daily races once because my little boy picked up a little side table in the living room and promptly put it back down again on his foot.

I learnt then that there was a time and a place for GTSport and it was mainly when everyone else was out or had gone to bed!

Same here, I usually only “race” once everyone’s in bed, it never fails that the minute I start a race my wife/son end up needing me for something. This week is the exception since I’m chasing the +, so I need to race at peak hours to get max points. :)

Reminds me of the time I decided to answer the phone to mother whilst pelting it down the back straight at Fuji in a gr. 2 Lexus... Hit that wall rather hard.
 
I know it's off topic still but... the 930 is a pleasure and a pain lol i can't stop driving it. I still need tc2 but am starting to get the feel for her, and trust me when i say she can still be a cruel mistress with it on 2, brakes +2 feels pretty good.

I am an old school time trial runner so it's gonna be hard to not spend to much time in these new trials. I have really come to love racing also and feel like i have become fairly fast/competent at it also, so i guess it depends what the combos are that PD decides to serve up to us. Tbh something like this, taking a classic beast around the ring. Great way to start.....
 
I was just thinking of time trials a couple days ago and PD goes and adds the feature today. Awesome.

I take issue with the use of comfort tires on the nurb. That is no way to tackle that track. Managed an 8:58 and I don't know if I'll do more.

Willow is more interesting as you can tune the car. It's also a new car so no net-tunes out yet which lets tuners shine. Or it would if people didn't try to take the shortcut. I expect PD to patch that out pretty quickly. Got down to a 1:34 here but no idea if that's any good yet until the shortcut is taken out.
 
@Milouse Will the new Daily TT’s results count towards a persons K Speed score now? They are world results and not regional now, so maybe a new K Score solely based on those results instead will be needed now, a World K Speed Score? Also, will there be leaderboards on KP for the new TT’s? TYVM! :cheers:
 
I once attempted to answer the door, sign for a delivery and get back to my wheel during a Race C pit stop.

I failed. Package wasn't even for me.
It's amazing, the tricks your mind will play on you when fatigue creeps in. When I was racing in @Mistah_MCA's Bathurst 1 hour race, I started seeing my headphone mic in the corner of my eye, even though I'd folded it away at the start, and I kept thinking my brother, who was sat next to me watching The Boys, was turning his head and staring at me unblinkingly.

In my defence, it WAS a night time race that started at 1AM...

I'm off to a rough start. I got off work earlier than normal yesterday, so I was able to do my first 3 races of the week.

-First one (SR A group) in the Huracan, got me a 3rd place and loss of 75 DR.

-For the second race (mixed SR A/S group), I switched to the NSX because my Lambo was getting beaten in the turns by the 86s. Started on pole. Guy who started 3rd knocked 2nd place out of his way in turn 1, then he used my car to help himself get through turn 4. Whatever. I knew I'd catch him because he was really reckless. His car was kicking up dust clouds on almost every turn, so it was just a matter of time. Sure enough, he ended up doing some desert exploring. Got the win, and made 400 DR points.

-3rd race (All SR S) was a disaster. Crashed 3 times on my own. Finished 12th. Lost 1,400 DR. :scared:
 
Off work early today and home by 1:30pm, game is updating now, I’m stoked for new TT’s!! :D

I'm very interested in the Time Trials as well. Sometimes I'm in between races and the Time Trials could be a nice way to keep racing while I wait.

I'm lucky, my kids are older. 1 is out of college and back in Grad school this fall, the other a Junior in college and the youngest a junior in High School, so most of the year, only 1 of them is home and since she's 16, I'm the last person she wants to deal with. 💡. The Wife is pretty cool with racing. Usually around 9:00 I get "I'm going to read, wanna race for a bit?"

Sorry, but I literally LOL'd at that.

I did some qualifying on Monday night, ran one race B and did well, earned about 1,400 DR. Nothing last night, as I was dead tired by 9:30 PM. Tonight could be a different story.
 
Quali update for Race B:

I'm a little bit pleased with that. Of course, I immediately jumped in a lobby to see what this now meant. I started 6th in the same lobby as the driver who's currently 1st on the EMEA board. Cracking race, finished 5th but was up to 4th at one point, i could have held on based on raw pace but i was overtaken fairly down the main straight after I made a marginal botch job of the last corner and bounced over the apex curb.

Hopefully I can make this count in terms of DR over the next 4 days.

What car/brake balance are you using?
Awesome time btw 👍
 
-3? Here I am running +3 thru +5. Probably will try that.

I just played with it until i got more turn in for the left hander (turn 3) when trail braking. Not really thought about it since Monday when i originally set it up. I hope it works for you too!
