See, this is where driving on AT hampers me... I can't shortshift :( I tried manual in some qualifying laps the other day and I just crumble when I get to a corner :lol:

Hmm... Theoretically, just really really theoretically, you can achieve the same effect by sticking it at fuel map 2. The R32 (or any other car) doesn't have a flat powerband like the M4 does, so I do lose power and time by shortshifting. By mapping your fuel to 2, I think that the fuel consumption of the car at low rpms vs fuel consuption at fuel map 2 should be more or less the same :)
Take this with a grain of salt though, since it's just an estimate and is purely theoretical
 
Don't forget you can turn the power down on the tuning screen, i tried this earlier and easily no stopped. I wasn't very fast but picked up a few places.

Not sure whats happened but this options doesn't seem available now, i definitely did it earlier though. :confused:

edit: Just had another go, got a bit carried away fuel saving and ended the race with enough fuel for another lap. Got second place though so all was not lost.

Thanks mates

:lol: I'll be lucky to ever hit S! It took me 40 days to get through B so I think your 20 days from A to S looks pretty good going. Congratulations my friend.

Haha, just checked, I spent over 50 days from B to A. From day 3x to 90. We are more or less as “talent” as each other.:cheers:

Anyway... weekend summary:

Friday, did Interlagos group 4 FIA Manufacturers race. Picked Lexus which I was quite pleased with despite not having driven the group 4 before, I found it quite similar to the group 3 which is my usual choice. Qualified 14th and finished 10th, so not a bad result but lost 62 DR :(. Thought I'd have a crack at the Alfa race on Maggiore West after which was actually really fun and (As said above) I set a nice time - finishes of 4th, 2nd, 4th netted me 140, 320, 170. Then Saturday... oh Saturday. I wanted to better my previous time of 2:10.xxx on Suzuka and after countless laps and another session of familiarising myself with the M4 (and driving with no aids :)) I got a 2:09.408 - I think my optimal was 2:09.1xx so I was pretty pleased with that. However, I got royally rogered in matchmaking, in the first 2 races I did I was against several recognisable names form the top 10. I started 19th with door number 20, the only person behind me had not set a qualifying lap, the race was going ok, I gained some positions through people leaving the track at turn 1 and the S section, but then going under the bridge an absolute idiot stopped dead, so he hit him and basically stopped whilst he got a boost. I ghosted and everyone behind me went through me... soldiered on and completed 7 laps basically on my own, gaining two positions to people who had quit the race. Not to be deterred, I entered the next race and started 15th this time (woohoo) but incredibly nearly exactly the same thing happened again... I went under the bridge and swerved to avboid a crashed car who had been reset, in doing so I lost some speed and the guy behind me came alongside but then also swerved and knocked me off track to the left where I hit the barrier and spun. Everyone went past me and, again, I completed a lonely race, finishing 16th. Later that evening I entered again, matchmaking got a little bit better again and I started 13th this time. An average race and a frustrating time penalty means I went over the line in 12th but finished 14th.

Yesterday.... Monza? No. Tokyo? No. Nurb 24? No, I just don't know it well enough so did some practice :)

Total loss of 1600 DR for the weekend.
 
One help from you guys... Today races for Nations Cup and Manufacturers Series are which???
 
Robben
Looking forward to tonight though... the last time BB Raceway was Daily A I went up to DR/A :)

Had a go on Suzuka this morning. Got very upset (again) by this stupid penalty system. Saved the videos, and still thinking to make an edit of the "show", the best moments Penalty Developers caused me. On the other hand, not worth a minute more spending with it. (since this clever naming-and-shaming rule here, as I can't write a name in question, but can put here a video clearly showing names - I am not sure if I can write the developers name here to be ashamed ;)
So, Penalty Developers, every minute you spent on developing the system, was a waste. Low quality work. Garbage. Not in par with the title's visuals and other aspects.

I won against 2 TX3 people!!! I can't believe it :D

Also, I'm moving to the US of A :D
Hmm... I wonder what my new gamertag should be. GTP_Cipher? ;)

Up to S in EMEA now then?

USA will be weird as you will be racing when it is the middle of the night there! At least you will get to see @Sven Jurgens though as he doesn't seem to sleep :)

The only car I pitted with was the Viper.
Click to expand...

Wait, what? The Viper? And you didn't get banned for exceeding noise restrictions? ;)

Well my weekend I'm guessing was a bunch of planets aligning. Tonight will be business as usual, all quiet at the back of the bus, and all the points I gained (more in 4 races than the weeks I've been doing Sport Mode) will evaporate. Next up, Interlagos!

Yup! :gtpflag:

On the weekdays I race at around 5-9PM here, which is 5-9AM the previous day there. Hopefully I see some early birds :lol: I look forward to meeting him as well :)

Your Qualifying lap time is proper good and they were going slow, must have been having as much trouble as me, with the car and the fuel, I just pitted and should have finished 2nd easily. Some of the other drivers (and/or me) were lagging worse than you were too (you weren't really even with the low bars), meaning I hit cars when I didn't and got hit by cars that were not anywhere near me, well that's what it looked and felt like to me. The penalties are also a joke, you get them for nothing and when it's the other persons fault. In one race a guy hit me when I was in the pit exit lane, just came across the track into me and I got the penalty.

Gave up now, just can't get the feel for this car at all, then there's the fuel and tyres on top, it's too much.

I knew I saw ASH32 somewhere before :)
Sorry if the lag disturbed you though; I don't see any lag with other players, but if anyone sees me lag, please tell me and I will stop

Seems you races 24h 7day a week to cover all 3 regions.👍:bowdown:
Click to expand...
Haha I'm just trying to find whatever time I have :lol:
And plus, doing this sort of thing is fun! Being able to meet other people from other regions and all. And I'd even dare say that the racing environment in EMEA is a whole lot different than Asia! Each have their own hurdles and difficulties, and I love racing in both regions just as much :)
Robben
What's your time, Alph?

2:11.403 on Race C ;)
Good enough to be at the top for an hour, and last time I checked I'm still second on the leaderboards :D

Although, being flanked by TX3s on both sides is a bit frightening :lol:

I considered unfriending you after you shot me on BF4 the other day... I guessed it happened too quick for you to notice it was me :odd:[/
Click to expand...

Definitely too quick for me to notice! haha

I only got back on it over the weekend. The first game I ever bought with my ps4, and I still give it the odd play to this day. Flying the helicopters is absolutely unreal
 
Yeh I recently dusted it off to calm me down after a horrible sport race, and forgot how much fun it is. I saw you were on when I fired it up and joined your server, so I'm not sure why it put me on the other team, I was hoping to freak you out by lingering lol.

I don't know what controls I have set, but every time I try to fly a plane or helicopter I crash within a few seconds.
