Did you report him?

Sadly no. I don't remember the name and I don't know how to save a Sport mode race so I can keep an eye out in future. He was another DR/D and the penalty's particularly for contact seem to be much softer at our level. I don't know if PD did this to encourage beginners who aren't driving dirty, but simply making a lot of mistakes. I think the system should be linked to SR. These were all SR/S, and I feel contact should be penalised more harshly at higher SR. That includes my own accidental contacts.

That‘s not too far behind my time I set back in February: 1:29.851
Zero idea what car tho, I guess GTR

Yeah... really close... only 1.3 seconds

What percentage in the world is yours? Just for context?

@Robben once again, like you, I set myself a target at race b. At least break my PB which was set on 24/2.

Studied the videos of super star in the same car (TT). Practiced over 30 laps, up and down throughout though. Finally I can’t believe what I saw in the right hand corner of the screen. More than happy to set the Q time. Then checked below, excited and told my wife but she seems just did not understand my excitement.

I was not plan to enter the race as I was not done well in Brands. Today I was lucky enough. First pole and victory here.

The win was not a easy one and I wonder if anyone of you experience the same. I was the pole and before I took control of the car. AI locked in 1st gear while the 2nd M4 was 2nd gear with 14 km more than me on the dashboard. Once the race started, I was overtaken by the M4.

Seems like the Civic Daily is swarmed by wall riders again.
Edit: Any Wall Contact longer than 0.1 seconds should cancel their pitiful Lap times, or even better instantly let their Cars explode

See, this is the awesome thing about @jasguer 's site... if I couldn't see my previous best I wouldn't have a target . Your time is rapido!

Congrats!

I may try the TT tonight then (definitely this time!) but I still want to get to know the M4...

 

[Arcflyer]

Again... Race C is the same as the FIA event for today

Well I won't be racing today

 

[Litchi]

I was in a race with you at 20.30 (UK time, so 21.30 for you)... you are right

What's your PSN mate?

 

[Robben]

Oh I read 1:30.1

1,759/73,550 - 2.3916%

Sub 1.30 is my target then

 

[Nuschel01]

What's your PSN mate?

It‘s a secret
He also doesn‘t want us peasants as friends

Sub 1.30 is my target then

Good luck 👍 Should be possible with the TT or M4 I suppose

That’s why I keep the gentleman @jasguer busy in keeping the site work properly by reporting any errors found. Amazing work

It becomes a practice for me to screen capture my previous time before I sit before the wheel.

 

[Robben]

What's your PSN mate?

A well-guarded secret

We were both at the middle-back for the second part of the race....

sooo close!! (I think it was with the cayman one make on BH)
Edit: anyway testing different cars, with my wheel I'm really scared about M4 car, much more worried about the throttle management (not to oversteer to much) instead of concentrating on my lines.. this does not happen i.e with ferrari 458. Not sure if it's something with my setting or not... anyway, if someone can help..

 

[CurbHog]

This game is awesome. Just played the long game in Gr.4. Started 16th. Dropped to 18/18. Set fuel to 4 and just maintained pace for 6th at the finish.

Ah, so that is how they do it. I started on pole and was driving solid and still too guys were in front of me. I did the replay and this guy was in his corvette and somehow he was not revving the engine and probably running lean mix and managed to stay ahead of my by pitting on lap 9 or so.

Had a great time at Interlagos last night. Did 1.39.2 in qualifying and did not think that would amount to anything really. But to my surprise it yielded me a pole position, but in the two following races I was slitted 10 and 6th.
at the end of the day I got a podium and some solid points in the races.
I'm sooooo happy to be B/S now as the races are so much more enjoyable with S drivers.

@Jimmyghione post your lap video to https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gt-sport-driver-coaching.376368/ Sure expert here can give you valuable suggestion.

Lucky bastard

I got a 1:38.9 and started 14th and 15th

And yeah, being on SR/S is a different... also, 99 S is even better... anything below 99 groups you with lower DR ranked but SR/S drivers.

 

[Lord Grey]

I qualified at 1:38.6 at Interlagos yesterday and ran only two races. I was placed near mid-pack for both. Good positions from which to gain ground, but any racing mojo I had simply left me and I wound up with well-deserved penalties that put me in the back. I stopped after two races before I could damage my DR any more.

 

[Satomiblood]

I've disliked most of the races involving the Civic so far this week, but here's hoping today's race at Tokyo Expressway will redeem it.

Of course but I thought you was referring to a one-time incident.

No, I wasn't referring to one particular incident. It has to do with repeat offenders that hide behind the curtain and go: "Oh, gosh. I'm so sorry."

A 1.38.1xx bagged me a 3rd in all DR:A grid and 9th in mostly DR:S grid.

My race pace was solid and got x1 win and nearly a top 5 in the DR:S lobby but needed a splash and dash at the end ;( Finished 14th.

Good racing though!

 

[Invisigoth]

Hello ladies and gentleman, and welcome to all the drama from Mount Panarama! So sad I don't have time for another crack at it. I was in a grid full of DR/As and Bs with 5 D's with me at the top of the D's. I was doing fairly ok, but getting a little frustrated at blockages in places I knew I could go faster than the people in front of me. I was making places, spun out and lost a few, then made it up again. 6th lap I set a new course record for Gr3!!!!! 5.01!!!!

 

[Alpha Cipher]

We could also just set one up by ourselves, maybe some more people of GTP want to join in.
I talked to @Alpha Cipher a few days ago about the lack of a general thread where you could just say you have a lobby open, so it might be a good way to start that

Would love to see this through

 

[Nuschel01]

Would love to see this through

Will probably end in chaos as I don‘t expect people to edit their posts if the lobby is closed and then having multiple others complaining that the lobby isn‘t there

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

About that Supra in Suzuka...



Really hard to drive with a nerfed throttle but at least I didn't spin.

 

[Alpha Cipher]

Will probably end in chaos as I don‘t expect people to edit their posts if the lobby is closed and then having multiple others complaining that the lobby isn‘t there

I thought of having a reminder like "Please check original post first to know if the lobby is open"... But looking at the master car list thread and its reminders, no one might even read the original post at all

 

[Nuschel01]

I thought of having a reminder like "Please check original post first to know if the lobby is open"...

Well I thought of it being more of a „everyone can post his lobby“ thread, so there would be no OP to maintain
We‘ll see, if I do end up with some racing with @_ApexPredator I’ll try it

That's a good idea too but like you said some people may forget (or not bother) to edit their posts
Yeah, we'll see. If it works, it works

 

[Nuschel01]

Yeah, we'll see. If it works, it works

I‘m 95% sure it won‘t

 

[Alpha Cipher]

I‘m 95% sure it won‘t

Haha
