Had the pleasure of racing @Alpha Cipher this morning.

And when I say race, I mean I started 5th and watched Alpha pull away into a massive distance and beat by a minute with a fastest lap 4 seconds faster than mine haha

Well played! Nice to see a familiar name even though I didn’t get to race you haha

 

[Alpha Cipher]

Thanks

Oh... @MhtyClipster said you can change it?

Hang on... I see, you have to increase to N500 to enter.

It might be my first race there I think only 4 people finished at that race? Haha
It's my pleasure as well to have raced with you

Interlagos done, and I qualified about midway, with mostly my own class for a change. Unfortunately that also meant the race was a total cluster youknowwhat. I was frequently in the middle of a pack with cars either side of me, in front and behind so I got battered. Try to give anyone any space and someone else will crowbar their way in. Punted into the wall twice at the first turn. Started 7th, finished 11th. Down 500 odd points and dropped to 94 SR.

Suzuka's my main forte

Yet we both were more off than on track in that lobby we had

At Suzuka with a McLaren 458 GT3?

 

[Foley713]

I really like my gt-r g4 but I can't seem to get past 1:41 on interlagos every time I get my DR up I'm mid track with with every one ahead at a 1:39 and below think I'll try to qualify with one of the top 10 vehicles to try for a better time but race with the gt-r

Touche hahaha
Poor random guy that joined the lobby had to constantly wait for us while we spin around

 

[Balwerk]

Haha I'm just trying to find whatever time I have
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

Sometimes I wonder how hard other region compare with Asia, since I want buy other GTS copy in EMEA or America region.

I also wonder how I'll be in another region I gonna look in to changing region by making another profile or something

You don't have to buy the game again Just set up a new PSN account and set your region to somewhere in Europe (mine is UK) for EMEA or US for America region.

My comments so far is that the Asia region is definitely harder going up the ranks (from E to B). But when you get to A rank, Europe's difficulty level just goes through the roof. That's where you start meeting the famous aliens and racing teams, and you'll find yourself on the midfield much more often than you expect. I think I've learned just as much within my 2-week stay in Europe as my whole Sport mode experience in Asia
In all, the difficulty curve in Asia is much more linear than Europe, whereas there in EU it's exponential

He said he‘ll join again if he sees a GTP lobby, idk if he is on here
We have to do this again tho, maybe some more people will join @Alfabob46 tried to but apparently couldn‘t?

But I buy game digitally did I still can doing that set up?

Ah I see, so other region have other challenge eh. For now I still avoid get DR A (Penalty issue) so I think if I on EMEA I just aiming for B-S lol.

Would be nice if he's here, but either way it's fun playing with him
I'm all for it! Hopefully we'll also see new member around here as a result
Weird though with Alfabob; maybe he went through the same problem as I initially did?

As far as I know, yeah you can still do that. Although I have a physical copy so it'd be nice if someone else confirms this
That's a nice goal

Alpha, are your qualifying times updated on Jasguer site today?

Edit:

Presumably the content is all still available if you make a new profile on the same Playstation. For example, if you had a kid that had an account you'd expect them to be able to play a game you downloaded. Just as they could play a physical game on a separate profile.

 

[Elitekilla29]

Was doing the manufacturer cup at Bathurst yesterday and had 4th place in the bag and I saw a message pop up on my screen and try reading a glimpse of it (smh stupid me) and overdrove my car going into the last corner and went into the sand and finished 10th. It was looking good up to that point. I was pissed at myself for the rest of the day.

No update on qualifying lap time today. I break my PB at Interlagos yet still display old record.

 

[Invisigoth]

Did Suzuka. Was surprised to qualify as high as 6th amongst DR/B and C drivers, but it all went downhill from there. At first I had a hard time dealing with the earlier braking points some of the people had so I lost a lot of my rhythm. Got nudged off once, but I was managing to catch up till I stubbornly kept going till I needed to re-fuel. A combination of understeer from tyre wear and frustration from said understeer dropped me back even more. Once I put on a fresh pair of boots I started to catch up again, but it was too little too late. Finished 11th. I must have beat a DR/B or C because I didn't appear to have dropped any more points. Gained one more SR.

I tried alien Alpha Cipher BB setting during fake qualifying and found that it just didn't work for me. Front bias seems to feel better for me.

 

[Balwerk]

I just love Magiorre cause they have alot section to pass, what I need just bigger ball and more safer

And this race absolutely one of the best race on this and last month Sadly on Nurburg I can't concentration at all on race I messed up hard on that race.

Sorry, I didn't notice you mentioned me earlier
Sadly, no it's not registering. Here's all that's loading

Just do what feels the best for you I don't adjust BB much myself (mostly 0 but some cars have either 3 or 5)
Honestly I only adjusted the BB to combat the front tire wear somewhat and it just stuck. I shaved 4/10ths off my qualifying with that though so I didn't bother to change it anymore

Had this happen to me plenty of times during dailys

Its not the trick for one night.
Its an exploit for every night.
Gr4 M4 or Gr3 Corvete.

I know the driver, lost one race to him on yamagiva due to this exploit.
He´s even promoting it in this thread by livestreaming.
Hope it gets fixed in this week update.

He wasn't short shifting for no stop, he's just very fast. He was bored I guess trying out a different car every race hoping for some competition to show up. He had a few close races when other S/S drivers finally entered yet still won with whatever car he used. Some people are just too good at this game!

When he finally used the car he qualified with (Viper) he was 39 sec ahead of me at the finish while I thought I had a flawless run in the C7, just got held up a bit by a no stopper (so rude on Nurb 24!). Clean race bonus, not a single mistake, still over half a minute behind...

I guess there simply aren't enough people entering that I end up with the same people in all 16 races I did. I climbed from 36K to 46K DR (SR 99) yesterday on the Nurb, same people all the time. At least it's easy getting matched with people on my friend's list as there's only one high level race at a time apparently. (NA server)

I tried to join you the other night but wouldn't allow it. You were doing karts though (wtf?) so kinda glad it didn't let me

I'll always join if I see you. There was a good lobby going lastnight with purlito and a few others. Gr4 stock.

Be great if we could get a full grid of us one night.

@Alpha Cipher send me an FR

Thing is, I guess you two will be long asleep by the time these races are taking place!

Blame @_ApexPredator for that
Could‘ve changed back tho, my lobbys usually swap categories and tracks quite often

Karts are fun without penalties!! We swapped to them after you left

Just like a Champion league night for us.

Are they both from across the pond? Send me an FR to bud. Got @bmxmitch, @Nuschel01, @PirovacBoy, @Arcflyer plus some others that we can get lobbies going with I'm sure. Always clean and friendly.
