Don't know why I'm telling you guys this but hey-ho...

So at work we have two sites, boss is off to the other site whilst I remain here. He said he isnt coming back for the rest of the day, so that's me sneaking off at 4pm for some Race B!!! :gtpflag:

Know what they say. When the cats away.
 
I wanna do Race C but they're too fast for me currently :lol:
For the sake of everyone's DR/SR I'll stick to Race B :lol:

Moaned about it

Pretty sure it is related to severity as opposed to a simple 1 red= 4 green.

Yup I had a good moan last night, I'm away off to work again today and hoped to get all my replays on to my hard drive to get a video online from work but the missus has dumped the baby on me and gone off for the morning!

Like I said, it's related to severity, but I was led to believe it used to be a simple case of 4:1, but I could be wrong, I've been wrong before, you know...

What car you using for race B Alpha? Lexus?b
Anyone else getting mixed up grids today, got A/A drivers and D/B in my latest grid? :confused:
Click to expand...
Yep, but I don't like it
I'm gonna try the Porsche next, or something that can trail brake :)

I'm really annoyed that the Lexus got that 1% increase as now everyone uses it :(

Harsh. How young is your baby? Until recently I was lucky enough that I could put her in a chair with some toys and she'd be content :lol: now she won't stay still,... (baby not wife)

It's Alfa Romeo :dunce:

Alfa Cipher? AlphaBob?
 
Alfa is an abbreviation of "Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili" which would basically translate to "Lombardian Car Factory Ltd."

I guess I missread something :lol: My point still stands, too many people write Alpha Romeo and it annoys the heck out of me :dunce:
 
I kinda like the RC F been using it too much really, i find the back end a bit looser since the last update sometimes struggle getting the power on and i think the incline and camber on Interlagos exaggerate it, might just be me. I did try the Porsche earlier but was slower than in the Lexus might have to give it another go.

I have the same experience as you do. I don't like that feeling at all :crazy:
Fun to drive, hard to be fast and consistent in :lol:

A is Renault Megane on Brand's hatch indy
B is GR.3 on Interlagos
C is GR.2 on Suzuka!

I'll test what SR.C is like on Interlagos, then flee to Suzuka :)
Click to expand...

All of these races sound good, I might even try race A. Unfortunately I won't be home for a while. I'm gonna try to grind Interlagos and Suzuka to get back to Dr A.
 
Can anyone help?? 2 out of 3 daily races is freezing at the loading track screen. Very frustrating after 10 mins of qualifying! I’ve tried deleting network cache but no change. Has only been happening this week.

Any advice much appreciated :)
 
What is the best Gr. 2 currently? I was waiting to get it for my daily workout but it has been all rally cars and Ford Focus. I’ll bite the bullet and buy one today.

Man, I'm hoping that I can get back to speed and hit my 1:31.9 PB in qualifying quickly and get some much needed DR back in my pot :(

All of them :)
They're so balanced that you'll always see 2 of the 3 in the leader boards. Last night's Nations had all three of them in the Top 10

The easiest to drive is the Lexus

Good look with the grinding i started the day with 99 manner points currently on 16 after a few races on Race B, i lost a few points and went down to S/R A then B.........

Edit: Going to try a Race C in the Lexus probably just drive around at the back and try and keep it on the black stuff.
Edit 2: Went pretty slow and still got 5th place [To be fair only 8 out of the 20 starters finished]

How do you guys manage your fuel tank in race C? The best I've done so far with the Lexus was to go to pits with 22% left (I always go in pits at the end lap 5 and I don't change the in-race fuel option, always keep it to 1). That way I can often increase the gap with the rest of the field by 3 to 5 seconds.

I'm really good at interlagos, so I should be able to qualify in the top 5. I've gotten pretty good at avoiding carnage at interlagos. After racing there so often, I've seen it all there haha.
 
I ain't bad there already had a win on the race this morning, it was the other drivers in the last race causing issues, i got hit 3 times in the first half lap and bagged 9 seconds of penalties and a hefty S/R hit.

What's your PB? You are a benchmark when it comes to Interlagos :)

I'll race you back to DR.A! I'm at 5726 / 25 after more draft bump experiments.
There's no other way but up from here. Now I can enter Interlagos without fearing for my ratings.

Depends on what you want

Speed:
  1. NSX
  2. RCF
  3. GTR
Driveability:
  1. GTR
  2. RCF
  3. NSX
At least that's my opinion :)

I love the looks of the NSX but also that thing is tough to handle in GR. 3
