Back from dusty Dubbo. Atenza all week in Race C. No qualy. I'm brave.

Can anyone tell me how to view the info in the 2nd pic? It'd be interesting to see how mine has gone up and down...
Can't find it in MyProfile on GT.com....
From the 3 bars at the top left (and the pic orientation) suggests its on a mobile site or app....
Cheers

@GOTMAXPOWER wow, that video was nasty Turning into you under braking for T1 on lap 2, literally parking it on the apex () on lap 8, going for the lunge of the millennium into the final chicane... Disgraceful. What bothers me the most is that he has pace, he was fast enough to put it on pole, yet he blew the opportunity to win just to piss you off What a tool. Congrats @Bivittavus88 on P2 in that race btw, and good job reaching A

@SeeGeeAitch The app is called "GTS Companion" and can be found on both iOS and Android.

 

[SeeGeeAitch]

Awesome thank you @GT5Power

According to who?

ie. A Japanese person living in the US may want to play with other Japanese speakers and friends in Japan. Let them.

According to GTS when your choose the region they ask to choose the region you live in instead of region you want to play with .

Fuel economy is garbage, but I did manage my best race of any daily race this week with it.

Otherwise...

I'll be making a lowlights video about my week in Race C tomorrow. I'll be out of town on vacation (or holiday, as some of you might say) for the last half of the week, so I'll probably not have many races run this week. Damn shame since I like the Group 3 cars in Race B.



Did it look anything like this:





I can't wait for him to get into a room with people who know of his reputation & spend the whole racing beating up on him. Time for a burner account?

It was worse. In the turn 2-5 complex I think 75% went off and then the havoc really started...

And to ad injuries to insult my SR dropped to 75. That's the lowest since forever.

Scratch that. I'm going full "TCR" with these bad boys. Tire wear be damned!

Edit: Lazy lap around Tut-Skcuba Circuit.

 

[Pelikan]

A true lack of sportsmanship.

 

[05XR8]

It starts

Edit2: Finished on the podium

 

[Mistah_MCA]

Did anyone mention that the A race is with the Mazda Roadster Touring Car?

If not, now you know!

Tried my usual 1st Daily Race C (Gr.4 at Dragon Trail Seaside) of the week thing, but sadly didn't work for me this morning. It is just a straight race with a pit stop in the middle (for fuel, but I took tyres as well) as far as I can see. Started on pole but didn't make it through the 1st corner due to a gentle shove from behind, so straight away I was in the midfield mixer and i never managed to escape (I did try the undercut and pitted at the end of lap 4 but I caught a slower driver at the twisty bit so lost all the time I made up).

Game did pretty well with the penalties as everyone who introduced me to the gravel or the wall got a penalty, but didn't really help me much so ended up 12th with the fastest lap.

No problem with tyres in the Lambo, so seemed like a decent choice, but maybe the Aston as it seemed to have good straight-line speed.

 

[05XR8]

Hmm, Race B a bit boring. Some carnage up the front. Player two cars ahead of me vanished and then, the car directly in front of me, just glitched and headed straight for the wall at T1. I'm thinking Race A is going to be a snoozefest.

I was in your race , in the (only) Porsche starting 10th. I drove straight through your ghost coming out of the first chicane so assumed something bad had happened.

No stopping the Porsche seemed like a strong strategy. I won with something like a 14 second gap. The last few laps the gap was so big I was coasting
around just to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. Short shifting and didn't touch the fuel map all race was enough to get it home. Tyres were fine.

I'm not sure how good a race that was as a test of the best strategy as it did indeed seem like a lot of penalties were being handed out and there were a LOT of red SR's at the end! If you hadn't been pushed around so much who's to say how much closer it would have been.

You went to the zoo and they actually let you out?

After what I got up to last time, surprised I didn't get deported!

 

[Lost Sheltie]

Nice race @watto79, I didn't even think it was possible to no stop
Not sure that will be the fastest way as you will normally be falling back into the melee, but might give it a try. No idea what car is best for fuel in gr.4

 

[05XR8]

I was stuck behind Princess Vanllope for minute.

 

[Benay79]

Hadn't done daily races for a few months, only concentrating on FIA. Decided to do Race B this morning as its quite a strong track for me. Now i remember why i stopped doing dailies! Lap one was just a dive bombing contest!

 

[05XR8]

Was in a fast room. Stayed calm and ran my pace. No tyres, just 1.7 laps of fuel, end of lap 8. Might no-stop next race.

 

[splitwindow]

During daily races, after you click Entry, is there any way to load up a ghost? I can't seem to figure it out. If I go straight into qualifying time trial it's fine. Any suggestions or is it meant to be this way?

I don't think you can do it in race entry mode, only in free practice.

 

[Brouwer]

Not bad, seems fun. However, isn't Tsukuba way too small to race?

 

[cowboyjon]

Dragon trail is my favourite - it was the first track I learned to drive with my first wheel way back when the game released.

I have fond memories of driving the waaaaay o.p. GTR round the track all week, before the car was pretty much nerfed forever.

It also means I get to drive my lambo and be competitive, all while looking fabulous as hell.

 

[05XR8]

No Stop.

Did the fellas in front of you pit?

All but the 7th placed car. It was ahead of me and ran out of fuel on the last corner.

Hmmm....

Sounds like a stop is the way to go after all.

Not a bad thing - we can strategically avoid driving in kamikaze death squads.

Well hello there little guy!

Hi!

I bet you remember what our rule on naming and shaming other players is, don't you?

Yes! Weeeeeeeee don't do it!

And do you remember why that is?

Oh yes! It's because we're the biggest GT site on the planet, and when you type someone's name in a thread in here and say that they're a bad person, the Google indexes that so their name shows up in searches as being a bad person according to GTPlanet. That might make them very cross and bring unnecessary drama to the site from things that weren't even on the site in the first place, that the moderators then have to tidy up!

And how do you think that makes the moderators feel?

Oh it makes them very very sad.

That's right!

@SeeGeeAitch that pic is from an app, GT Sport companion.

 

[pivo]

First race at A, and I'm in with some seriously quick competition.

Still, didn't do too badly.

Edit: Getting win no 20 just got a little more tricky, I think.

lol @ pole position PSN name

Congrats for the A rank! I am rising through B myself, but honestly think that's were I belong. I'd be happy to reach A, maaybe it happens, but I don't think I'd hold on to it for long.
