Might have to Q for this one though, it could get ugly pretty quick.

When I ran half the field was no-qual, so it´s allright anyway

Why is it when you get punted at Monza in turn 1 and miss the chicane, the game resets you at the back of the pack...

Just totally unaware of what is actually happening and rewarding bad drivers.

 

[Groundfish]

Shoot that’s nothin.
I was punted off 3 times last race purposely. Roflmao, still s I did nothing wrong.
This is Monza

You don’t really race at Monza, you just participate for the meme value...I’m gonna keep entering...
It’s a complete mockery of racing, though.
B race was pretty good, 4 laps so you just dive every turn. Pens are loosened up so it’s also a meme fest.
Qual is unnecessary this week, it’s Forza.

Edit: can someone explain to me how I start as p10 then finish as P1 and only gained 8 places?

Someone likely left the room during the warmup or just after the warmup ended.

I said REAL MEN. we dont skip anything

I’ll await the videos of people abusing your car.

Good to see PD are policing track limits with landmines now 👍

The 1.5 seconds was for the wall hit. Didn’t get anything for flying outside the track limits.

Good down to b sr after being the only American in the last lower s room.
Half of South America entered the last one and it seemed they didn’t like each
other, or me.
Edit hmm c e now, guess I will try c race, that should be clean

Race A proving to be a destruction derby. The first chicane is a hotspot, One race I qualified 8th - someone punted me across the chicane (no penalty for me) and ended up 3rd! Next lap they punted me into the sand and went down to 10th...

. . . How about an n300 or n400 BOP with any choice of garage cars. Wouldn't that be nice. To be able to race some of the cool cars we all have, sitting in the garage gathering dust. Maybe even limit it to pre-1973 cars. Old iron!

I would like to see that as well. I recently got this RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7 and it is a fun drive. I of course would also like to see the Greddy Fugu Zin a race soon.

Real men only have 1 account

Agree to disagree.

 

[Groundfish]

Man these races...
This is NOT a week to race seriously to get points, it’s just...

 

[Lateralus5813]

Practiced a lot in Catalunya, started P4 and finished P2 with a clean race bonus. However, the guy in first was so much faster it was disheartening. Like 2, 3 seconds per lap. I'll never win lol.

Buut I don't mind, it was fun and I'm finally back to C. C/S now.

Gotta rep my guy Pierre after yesterday. #GAS10

Feeling like Hamilton in Race A. Start on the pole, get punted to the rear. See how many positions I can make up before the finish line.

Hello all,

Just a quicky...

My K time for Monza is 2:00:xx.
Having done a few practice laps and I am currently at 1:58:xx.
I currently have 13,00,000 credits.

Having done the laps I have been credited with mileage points and experience points but no credits.

Is this the new normal?

Best regards to all here.

Ian.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Race C is incredible this week, I think I'll have enough material to make an episode 2 of the overtaking compilation before the races swap, you have enough downforce to be overly brave and the slipstream is huge down the back straight.

You don't earn any credits for practice laps, only for races

 

[Ian JB]

Hello Cactus0

I perhaps should have written "qualifying" laps. I am sure I have received credits for these previously.

Cheers.

If you don't do more than 1 lap, you won't get payed. Also, if when you want to start over, you push Options button, then Retry, you also won't get payed. Do at least 2 laps, then push Options button, then Exit. You'll get payed for that.

 

[Pigems]

Anyone doing Race C? It’s pretty fun!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I have found a new favourite corner, the first clip was from an awesome race with @Pigems from the back in an American lobby (sorry McYavel you were one of the victims) the other two are top split in Europe:

Sweet, I'm at SR B right now I think. Hope to see you out there.

 

[Groundfish]

I’m racin all day, sr B rn. All races but entered c race rn.
Edit

Cluster eff from the back, tons of wanna be last to first at b sr, tryin for the no opening sure to give pens and sr down overtakes.

 

[Lateralus5813]

I knew my next Race at Catalunya would be **** lol, started P7, pretty much everyone was C, there was a B and an A driver. Got to P6 in the first few corners, got punted after that, guy got 1 sec penalty and I finished P13. Terrible.

There ya go! I knew I was being an advanced muppet... Again!!

Thanks for that.

I was doing one lap. Changing cars then another lap and so on. I only noticed at the end of my session. Duh!

Regards.

Ian.

Race C is awesome! Come out an race!

 

[Groundfish]

It is awesome done the last 5-6 from the back lol.
It’s brutal back there but I like it!
In the tunnel when cars are serving anymore I just keep it pinned and pray!
From the back c is a tough one, you have to pass them but often they dislike that.
