That may be so.. but on any race I´m in, and if there are spanish guys.. I´very sure that one or more will show that "stange" behaviour... (wishing to kill/murder/send to the grave.) every (or almost every) driver that comes near him or tryes to pass him... (kind off..)

Maybe they target you because you are Portuguese :odd:

Bom dia, by the way :)
 
"Rubbin is racin!"
Rubbin may be so.. but pushing out of your way, out of the track, or by doing so make intentionally the other drive loose the control of the car.. ain´t. in any way racing, but Bullying!!!!

Just use the car you're most confident and safe with. There is no point in using a car just because the Top 10 drive it

Yeah the thing is.. I'm generally faster with the op car than in any other.. Like with the RC F I mentioned.. I had never even driven it before I switched to it and was immediately faster..

Some nights I don't have time to hotlap in different cars so I'd prefer to just go with the op one so I don't have to think about it..
 
So, last night.... my plan was to focus on Nurburgring GP so I started qualifying and tried Genesis, TT, Atenza and Citroen with the 2:03/2:04 target in mind (as discussed yesterday). But I just couldn't get close :(... best I got in the end was 2:05.395 with an optimal of 2:04.9xx in the trusty Citroen. As I said, I spent 1 hour 40 doing qualifying and basically my last chance to enter a race for the night was the 20.40 (bed time at 9 :lol:) so I entered... got door number 16 and started in 14th. Gained a position due to a quitter so finished 13th. Only lost 414 DR though, so 34 per position... feels tough though, basically being filler :(

Good things is that I bettered my previous best by over a second, but I couldn't find that extra second to put me in with a chance of top half finish.


As for tonight... I've not raced on the full Maggiore circuit since a one make Scirocco group 4 on a Sunday a couple of months back, during which I lost so much SR I haven't raced it again since. I will give it a go tonight, given how well behaved most people seem these days... but also tempted to try the Civic as Suzuka East is statistically my best track for Q times.
@Robben did a similar time 2:05:208 on TT. Lost a lot of time at T1-T4. Need more practices.

It's just a joke haha :lol:
The original was a post about how there's this dirty guy who messaged the poster about how dirty he is and he should've gave up his position but instead gave him penalties :lol:
 
I did the Tokyo Expressway Outer Loop Group 3 race on Sunday afternoon and it was an absolute joke. So many people pushing and shoving each other, getting the way and just being careless, and that's not even including the hideous penalties I received. That track is an SR killer.


That is very well known... Same for Bathurts and Monza... And I´m stil waiting to see dailly races on Nordschleife.... :banghead::bowdown::nervous::scared:

Thanks for accepting my friendship request on PSN (zefthebestofcour) :)

That is where the alias comes from :) I used to post on a football forum and, at the time, had just bought Robben for FUT so I picked the name!

Fair enough :) to be honest the RC-F is my car of choice for group 3 anyway! on Interlagos Saturday, I entered an AS race that was:
911

RC-F (me)
Corvette
911

Vantage

Very similar! And, yes, I noticed that I was 2 seconds slower in sector 1 (about 39 seconds) than Nord Clane (37 seconds)

Guys!! Any info about Kart´s Adventure on Nation´s Cup, will be very welcome...

I know that we actually can only qualify... as races will start much later...

I´m really curious about how it will go... and if is a SR murderer ... or not! . too! :)

I did some practice last night in it, and it does take a bit of getting used to... I remember the race on Miyabi a few months ago there were a lot of people spinning out.

I only did about 4 or 5 laps before bed last night, but I had to have TCS on 2 just to keep it going round corners. If I recall correctly, you don't need to break for the hairpin, just lift off

Weird, there are not a lot of 911 in SS/AS room where I'm mixed with.

Anyway, I managed to crack a 56.4 early this morning in the 911. I managed to hit a 56.0 during a race and even beated multiple SS guys :)

I'll try to kick the 1.56 barrier this evening after work :)

I haven't raced today yet... that was from Interlagos on Saturday :)

What is the main choice for today?

Multiples brands on the leaderboard so I can't say. I just decided to race with the car I'm the most confident with.

Ok!! And about changing the driving wheel maximum rotation angle?? From 900 degrees to much less?? Advisable??
 
Yep, cut that corner correctly and instant Top 10.





Don't even need to finish the lap.
No need for sarcasm.... I'm not great at that sequence and am losing well over 0.5 seconds because of it. I'm also losing time at the bottom of the big hill after the esses, cannot find the optimum turn in without upsetting the car from the camber. If I can tighten them up I'd have a top 10 time, but I'm struggling :D
 
During the race I was able to break the 1:56 barrier with a 1:55.800
I can't replicate it at the quali (1:55.920) :banghead:
Also, the banked right hander seems to be my weakness at that track. My opponents always pull 1-3/10ths towards me every single time
 
I don't recall a spot where I've constantly spun with the Viper at Maggiore. (I havent tried today, but I always run viper)
Replay?

Yeah I’ll upload a video highlighting it in a little while but got to pop out first. It’s basically if you run onto the kerbstones you’ll turn later, so you’ll be turning while you ride over it and will spin. 10% throttle will do it. If you take the “correct” line you’ll be pointing straight when you ride over it so it’s ok

Also, why do people divebomb T1? Guy just did it to me, went flying past and finished the race 9th, I lost no position but I did lose time on first place. He apologised after the race so I guess that makes it ok :boggled:

Top 25?


My previous best is 1:58.2. What is my target for tonight?

I noticed you were driving the M4 in your vid from Yama with no assists, are you doing the same with the Viper?

Whoah wait I am?
A 1:57.5 ;)

I just had the honor to race 4 S drivers... First 3 filled the Top 3 spots (I'm 5th behind an A driver), and the other S at 7th. Through consistent driving I finished 3rd! And had a fighting chance for second if it weren't for so many micro-mistakes and a divebomb at T1 :(

What I noticed though, is that one of the top dogs set a 1:55.1xx on that race... And on the first sector I was able to beat his time by .224 seconds... Second sector and that gap rose up to .446. It's only at the third sector where I dropped that time to a personal best and then a 1:55.7xx
I can definitely do a low 1:55! I just need to learn that dipper left hander

Also, up to A now on Europe region! :D

Edit: @Robben how do you know my ranking? I can't find my profile at jasguer's site :(

Good going man...

I don't, I asked if you were top 25 :) hence the question mark
 
Based on past experience there how about the Porsche? Its hybrid system is devastating on the straights!

It's my first choice, but it's not based on performance. Purely an emotional thing....I cheer it on in the WEC... just a shame those darn Toyotas got their act together :irked:. I'll probably go with something else because I'm guessing the Porche is what everyone else will be using.

Did he ask that? :lol:

Well, no....but I'm open to suggestions, so long as it's not a Ford :yuck:.

I did some practice last night in it, and it does take a bit of getting used to... I remember the race on Miyabi a few months ago there were a lot of people spinning out.

The kart is awesome! I joined a Bathurst lobby with no idea what it was about. One of the requirements was to turn karting on or something. Had no clue what that meant, but suddenly found myself tearing round the mountain in a kart. Keep any of those wheels off the grass!!!!

On the Nurb 24h track I did 5 laps a while back. I think I only had to brake in 3 places.

:bowdown: salute that man :). I notice you have good taste by the brand in your avatar.

Ahh, I do understand your sentiments...
If rankings aren't a thing I'd be using the R18 '16 any day :D

Also @Robben, I'm not quite at Top 25 :lol: 3/10ths off the pace :)
Thank you :D

Edit: Managed to get my time down to 1:55.212. I'm satisfied =w=
