In game EV to 3.0. You’re welcome. If its too bright, dial it down to your liking. Turn off brights tho. You won’t see the brake marker numbers if you don’t lol

Alright stupid noob question now . . . turn off brights? I still have not figured out how to turn on the headlights, they just come on by themselves. Am I missing a controller setup step?

Edit: Sorry about that figured it out, same button as flashing my headlights.
 
Matchmaking is such a PITA for me. I'm generally in the top A/S split, which usually results in a grid position of 10-12, often with the back of the grid full of none qualifiers. I had a nightmare last night and got bumped down to A/A and an SR of 65 after seemingly being blamed for every bump and crash in the whole GT Universe, but because of that I had a couple of races this morning and was 2nd and 3rd on the grid, and finished where I started both times. All of a sudden I'm back to A/S and back at the rear of the grid. Seems once you get a high SR you're destined to be thrown in with the aliens and never have a chance of a win! Very frustrating! :confused:

Yeah I am a high B, low A driver and this happens all the time when I get my SR up. It is what it is but yeah battling for 14th can be fun but not for 20 races in a row. To make matters worse, they don't make many mistakes so i cannot cash in on them messing up!
 
I got my Level 1 Clean Races achievement in Race A, surprisingly enough. Granted I didn't finish high and I'm on D/S (although I got "driver shakes hand with official" after results), but at least I know what I'm doing.

Doing the Nord this week even though Race C is very tempting.

Did few quay laps and standing at 11.8. Just enough to start in the front pack, (so far)

Tried the TT, got good pace but I found myself back with the M4 for faster pace. Managed a win last night after the lead driver made a mistake where I gained the lead and carried it to the finish line.

Can’t get enough of the Ring/Nordschleife.

Been out of sim racing for a long time, just got GTS 2.5 weeks ago, what was your lap time in the M4?

You are a mean mean person! I like what you are thinking though! Have fun.

One of my favorite memes. :lol:

Yeah, it's probably 10 times meaner to do it at a night race.

Wow. That was pretty bad. I didn't see you do anything malicious.
I'll tell you what, though. On the final straight, with all the SR downs already, I definitely would've blasted that gray GTR. :mad:

Finally put down a clean lap in the integra. Probably not gonna do that race, i can't stop rubbing paint off on the apexs :mad:

so, on to the nord. Running the viper, cuse mopar or nocar lol i don't run the race cars much so i am almost having a hard time getting my mind around how much i can attack the course vs in a road car. If i can get up to a pace i feel i should be at, i will run this for sure. Mt. Panarama later, only laps, I'm not crazy lol
 
As much as I didn't want to use it, I laid down a time of 7'07.5xx at the Ring with an optimal of 7'04.3xx...in the Audi TT... a full second faster than in the Aston and a further half second ahead of my best in the Jag. Now to work up the guts to enter a race :nervous:

Ran a few no qualy races on my alt (B/A) last night and typically started mid pack as only half the field had a time in. Generally moved up a few places, and it was pretty clean for me. One minor tap on someone else's bumper did cost me a SR down worth 2 points.
 
Ok, I admit it. I'm using the TT for the Ring, sorry, ha.
It's stable, leaves room for error & u can get on the throttle early, while avoiding spinning Vipers etc, or in my case, usually hitting them a nano second before they ghost :lol:
Then for my last hour of racing I switch to my alternate account and race the FR cars, very messy but more fun :cheers:
 
Has the bop for gr. 3 changed that much?
Instead of the GT-R, is the vantage the new 0-200km/h car?

Also, what's a good car to take up the mountain without being the vantage?

Interesting. Never heard of that site.
Good to know I'm #49 in North America for Nations. I like my odds, as a B rated driver. 👍

A great feature of the “other” site is the “recent races” page… and see your qualifying position, finishing position, incremental SR from the race, and who you races with. I really like that one as a complement to the Kudosprime site.

Nice! I just found out about the “Not KP” sites recently, I still don’t really know what else they can do.
