I really don't get what the deal is with the hybrid juice on ths Fit in race A. I would expect lap times to be faster when you have juice, but all my fastest laps happen when it's gone. I did about 30 laps this morning, chasing a top ten spot. Missed it by about .01. I did 2 laps in the 35.4's, 2 in the 35.5's. Lots of .6, .7's and .8's. Best lap with juice was a high 35.6, but most were .9's. I look at speeds just before hitting the brakes, and I don't see a difference really. I think it actually hurts in sector 2. Seems to spin up the tires faster so you loose drive.

IDK why the top 10 spot means so much. It's like an addiction. I'm at 13th now, and I figure .04 faster will probably get me there. Maybe another run tomorrow morning. I won one from the back last night, but it wasn't really fair with the pole at 36.1. Had fun with the Demio from the back. Pretty easy to pass in the 2'nd sector.

Funny I get my fastest laps when the battery is gone too, but only managing to get a regular 1.38.xx lap no idea how you top lot are getting the 1.35.xx I obviously need more learning time on the track.
It would be nice to see a replay of some of these faster laps so I can see where I am going wrong.
Previous vids showed me that I was on the brakes for far to long going into corners, and I must admit it is prity amazing to see how some of you top drivers actually drive.

You can watch both a replay, and follow a ghost of the top 10 in your region in practice. I usually chase the ghost of the #1 to drop time. If you turn on corner markers and the racing line, it can be helpful. Do a few laps to get the feel, then watch the #1 replay from in car with the telemetry on so you can see brake points, corner speeds and throttle usage, along with the line. Then load the ghost, and try to get a drive on it coming out of every corner. You will get faster. Good luck!

I thought it was only me having this happen - doesn't make any sense does it?

I can't see how people are getting good times out of the Mazda either - it's a second per lap slower for me. Tried it once in a race, I started 8th and was last by the time half a lap was completed.

Having said that, I've only seen the Fit winning in all the races I've done this week, so it appears to be the dominant car for both qualifying and the race.

I'm a perpetual D. The more I try to move up, the harder I go down. Only been sim racing, w/ wheel, for about 10 or 11 weeks. I got into it as a Nascar fan, but seem to have more fun road racing. Much more challenging.

If you are Sand just six seconds after Pigems on the second longest track in the game you are good. This week is going to make you C :)

Thanks, I hope. Now I have to decide if I'll drive something comfortable in the curves, or something that can keep up down the straight. I've knocked down the times to 3:10's in the R92 and XJR. Also in the McLaren, which is much more smooth on the front turny side. Decisions, decisions.

See you there, perhaps. And yes, I'm am S. The one thing I have going for me. I do my best to keep it clean.

What time do most of you race? I tend to go early morning (US EST), before Brazil wakes up.

If I can I race in the morning, much cleaner. Some days I get the European morning first and then follow with the NA morning :)

I work nights in uk so tend to do all my racing between 0300-0430 British time and keep the same hours on the weekends :)
 
Just as I was talking about how clean race A had been I.end up in a demo derby. Get launched twice in lap 1. Fight back from p11 to p5, mainly due to others fighting, but SR drop of 20. Still unsure how.I was the only 1.in lobby to lose SR as I got broadsided for one of the hits but oh well. Maybe I get a weaker lobby now.
 
Funny post about the early US race time. Every time I race early here (East coast USA) it’s almost exclusively South American race 8(

Only time I seem to rage in gts is in the morning now that I think of it (if you havnt noticed my post lol)... hmmmmm a clue...

Decided to end this week's dailies early... no more after last night. Got away/lucky with no SR- but there were several jerks in each race who knew how to abuse the penalty system. Watched one guy take out four different people with the inside slam and yet his safety rating was a nice blue S at the end of the race. There he was again in the lobby for the subsequent race where he proceeded to work over several more people with no penalties. Reported his account to PD for "race interference" but doubt anything will happen.

I really do wonder what the N600 car is going to be for next week? It says there’s no BoP, so I assume it’s a one-make.

The only N600 I remember racing was the Huracan LP 610-4 at Kyoto when races were daily. N600 is a seldom used class.

Although still difficult to say, PD haven't recycled many races lately so I'd take what was used in the past with a grain of salt. I'll go out on a whim and say the Amuse S2000.

I'm hoping for the GTR, Huracan, or NSX because they're AWD. Otherwise, I'll have no chance at all. :dunce:
 
Been racing some on my newer alt account… happens to be my 12 year old son’s since he doesn’t play GT Sport. Because of his age, the in-game messages are not active. And you know what?! It’s kind of nice. No chance to say anything, nothing to see or read. It’s refreshing really. Just race and deal with it. I suppose a lesson to be learned in there.
