Started my redemption tour after dr reset last thursday. Back from D/E to B/S during the weekend. Very nice races. The Mazda race @ Streets of Willow was actually pretty nice. Perfect car for that track.

On Lago GP I tried different cars (Veyron, Huracan, Atenza) before going back to Citroen and it was easily the fastest car for me, again. Never get tired of Lago.. What a track.. Had one race where I chased the lead car for all four laps and in the last uphill hairpin managed to pass him. Heart was about to explode :D

Finally got the Schumi trophy (408 races). Senna left and then it's time to participate in longer races.

Today's races?!?

I don't know how you can say that? Being an SR/S in the lower ranks is a wonderful place, full of rainbows and unicorns, where all your dreams come true!! :dopey: No one ever crashes or drives into you or anything! ;)

I had a bit of a look at your video (after watching Sebring and two Bathurst enduros recently I can't realy handle more than a few laps watching a virtual car ;) ). I think you will find that some of what you deem "dirty racing" is simply a lack of experience and car control. The attempted brake check was more likely slowing for a penalty and not seeing you. The radar doesn't register you until you are practically on top of the car in front.

Yeah I agree, at the time I was just thinking “you dirty w****r” but yeah it does look like that.

Also yeah you’re right about most incidents being experience and car control, there are a few instances where you can see cars maliciously side swiping and that’s the sort of thing that really winds me up. But you can tell a few of the incidents I’m involved in could be avoided had I braked earlier. But I also think they would have been avoided if I wasn’t raging and screaming at the screen :lol:
 
I just raced all night, and with only two crappy race results I'm at a big loss in DR. Time to slide down the rankings to get that Schumacher trophy since I'm already taking a nosedive.

I don’t know if I dare, after the other night. But GR1 would be a good reason to stretch the legs on the Bugatti

Just did one and it's fairly clean! One odd thing I noticed is that behind me was a Porsche 919 and P3 was a Bug, but the Bug overtook the 919 befoee the first corner. Really really odd, since given the 919's hybrid system I was expecting that I'll be overtaken by the 919, and leave the Bug in the dust :confused:

Like LM55 a lot. Stable and looks way better than the Porsche IMO. 👍

It can set good Q time but not competitive in race. Overtaken by those Porsche before T1 and raced like a pinball in the first few corners every time. :banghead::grumpy::grumpy:

My Superman LM55 just can't fly:lol::lol::lol:

I'm using the LM55 and I'm constantly on the Top 3 as well as a contender for wins if I just don't get matched against Top 10 + inconsistent :lol: not the best, but a good choice 👍

That is pretty awsome, and I love the shoshinsha! I'll stick to the Porche, mainly for no other reason than that's what I support for the WEC.

Wish I could help. I just pruned my garage down from over 300 to about 170.
 
Gr.3 on Speedway?

GTFO :D

Managed 1 win on Maggiore last night in about 6 races, most races were messy, both through my fault and the stupid actions of others, several times I got divebombed and I got the penalty :confused: so not sure what happened there and in one, race, leading by 4 seconds my controller died :banghead: I knew it was low and should not have pushed my luck, finished 6th

Damn that could fill all 4 of my garages :lol:
 
@ThePhantomAli - honestly mate, get your SR to S (preferably 99) and it is a different world. I used to be like you, just hovering between C and A, with occasional jumps to S. My DR reached about 25000 and I got stuck there for a few days. Then I decided to get to SR S so spent a couple of days just avoiding any other cars or contact whilst trying to get reasonable finishing positions (but not worrying too much) and then started racing again and the difference in racing was noticeable, I went from 25000 to 40000 DR in 30 days, whereas it took my 60 days from the first time I hit 10000 to get to 25000.

Recently, I dropped to SR A and it is completely different to racing against people at 99. There is very rarely any intentional contact, whereas in A I saw at least 3 or 4 intentional rams/sideswipes per race.

I promise that the racing is better and it's much easier to hold a semi-permanent S once you get up to 99 and stay there for a few races.

Slowly starting my comeback after a horrid weekend of so called “racing”. (More like bumper cars). Started the day off with a victory on Race A this morning. Taking time off until Tuesday night. Have to travel for work. The break will be nice and the update!
 
Done 3 races on B speedway, clean up front but a total mess at the back, ghosted lapped cars makes it quite easy if you start top 1-6
