Sven that win you got was awesome Nznz is faaaast. But you're so consistent i kept juusst touching the grass and putting myself at the back to climb back up...
We had 1 or 2 good battles for 3rd and 4th tho that was awesome.

Tried the e-tron race....
its fun but nailing down the braking zones on that car is insane. I got it past 300 km/h after the esses t2-4. I was braking 50 metres earlier than normal and still over shooting corners if your not super careful.

My expectation of the car (haven't driven it yet) is that its braking power will be at least enhanced by the regenerative systems (if there's any) to recharge the battery. I'm quite surprised this isn't the case

Just started watching a replay of the IMSA race at Long Beach. Here's an interesting bit of advice that you can use in your dailys from Patrick Long.

"A little bump and run has always served me well." (Wonder what his SR would be?)

SR E alert

 

[philipPF]

Yes he is, it's an electric car, so no gears. Should be used in a Race A or B never C.

How does it work for an electric car in race C ? Do we have to ... "refuel" ? Someone in the stands has to plug the car (and wait 30 minutes ? ) ?

I didnt even know electric cars don't have gears.

So all these Tesla Roadster etc are just one speed? I've definitely learnt something new today.

Another disaster last night... very much knocking on the door of DR/B again now

Got a 1:32.2 in qualifying, started 7th in the first race and finished 6th or 7th (can't remember and jasguer is down). Finished with red SR though.
Next race, being in lower SR, got given 3rd amongst mostly Bs and Cs (with 1 x A and 1 x S ahead of me) but got disconnected as the race was starting. Thanks.
Next race, started pole and got the win and clean race. Felt hollow.
Next race, back in S/A grid with a few B (saw @banckzy who forgot to brake for T1 on lap 2 ). Started 8th and finished 7th (thanks @banckzy).
Next race, started 7th behind banckzy again. Was up to 6th or 5th but then got divebombed by a UK guy in a green and black 911 (B rated - clearly a doesn't know how to race despite putting in a mid 32s Q time), let him take the position through the chicane, then gained it back later in the lap. He tapped me a few times through the curvy section but I held the position (at the expense of time penalties to me and NO notification of any to him) then eventually he PIT manoeuvred me on T1/T2 on lap 4 or 5. I got mountains of penalties for contact + corner cutting (to go with the others). Had to serve from 14 down to about 8 before I could continue. Finished 14th. Rammer had dropped from 5th/6th that he stole from me to finish in 11th - ****. Got dropped to A/A
Did a race A, started 4th and finished 4th (3 x A ahead, all D behind). Clean race, back into S, gained about 30 DR.

All in all, lost 1400 DR and dropped to 86 SR.

 

[SNAKEMAIO]

Please, could someone tell me what are cars used by top 10 for Mount panorama, right now?

this evening i would try racing for race B....

 

[ASH32]

I'd guess there is no refuelling (recharging) as the car has an unlimited supply of electric.

Anything else would have it run out and not be able to refuel (recharge).

 

[Nuschel01]

So all these Tesla Roadster etc are just one speed?

Yes because elctric cars have the same torque for the full „rev“-range and don‘t need gears.

The Audi race is with 0 fuel consumption btw

 

[05XR8]

Bathurst was fun! I'm gonna do it again right now. Started 8th finished 5th. Would have been 4th after an overtake down Conrod, but I outbraked myself into The Chase. No harm. No foul. All good fun.

What car are you driving? what are top 10 cars on Mount panorama today?

 

[Robben]

I'm going to guess Vantage...

 

[Alpha Cipher]

I'm going to guess Vantage...

My guess is the Megane

I'm in a Mustang.

Good to see you on the track again mate!

I got pushed out by that french guy on T1. Some good racing last night though, Interlagos is my fave track by far.

We basically got the same qualifying time too lol

 

[Nuschel01]

I'm going to guess Vantage...

I say Megane, the Vantage was worse than the GTR on friday imho

 

[SNAKEMAIO]

I'm in a Mustang.

thanks... fine to see this variety of cars...

I say Megane, the Vantage was worse than the GTR on friday imho

Megane was my fav car at the beginning, also because very simple to drive...

 

[TamasToth]

Just finished a quick daily A. PD's penalty servers must be on holidays. Last lap was a dodgem party, and nobody got any penalty. Interesting.

Yeah...very close Q times; I was ahead of you for ages, then you pipped me before we got matched! Nice to be next to you on grid both races Still, I couldn't get anywhere near my previous best of 1:31.9... I actually switched to the 2016 Lexus as well, the 2017 I found kept slipping when I was coming out of corners, then TCS would activate and I would lose too much time. The 16 is less raucous at the back.

Same re: track, it's definitely my best real world track in terms of closeness to top 10. Just had yet another bad day "at the office" last night... after that **** spun me out in our second race, I was very tempted to go on a revenge mission and take the DR/SR reset.

 

[05XR8]

Like I posted, fun.

Started 9th, finished 4th. So many people riding the walls in the MR cars. Ferrari, Hurracan, NSX, 650S. Are those cars really that tailhappy?

 

[Nuschel01]

It‘s been like that in Race A for a while now, I got lots of rubbing in the E30 and Alpine races last week but were never awarded with any penalties

 

[Robben]

Huracan is 4WD... understeers mostly.

 

[banckzy]

I noticed this last night too... a lot of rubbing but no penalties! In my opinion thats for the better though?

 

[Invisigoth]

What car are you driving? what are top 10 cars on Mount panorama today?

I thought it might have been a Commodore .

 

[Robben]

New PB&J, 32.211! Soooooo

Ps, yes I said pb&j on purpose

OK then where were you starting with your 32.211 out of interest?

I got lots of rubbing in the E30 and Alpine races last week

Dirty.

We had a fair amount of B drivers in our races.... I think this may have something to do with it. They haven't changed the penalty ALGORITHM, it is still BUGGED and GLITCHY ( @Crazybutt198 LOL ) so it must be coincidental.

 

[05XR8]

Hell naw!

BUT I'd welcome it as a new addition to the game.

Thats because B drivers are 🤬 ace.

GO B DRIVERS.

 

[Nuschel01]

Dirty

So what Even spun out somebody with an optimistic divebomb in the final corner but he was being an idiot in the 3 races before

 

[Invisigoth]

Hell naw!

BUT I'd welcome it as a new addition to the game.

Given that they have been adding some of the cars from versions gone by, I wouldn't be surprised if they added the Tickford.

 

[Robben]

Yep, will give race C a go. No chance on the other two... hate Big Willow and, although I like Panorama, I'm not racing it online.

Thats because B drivers are 🤬 ace.

GO B DRIVERS.

I will be back with you in the promised land soon mate

Edit... Look at this ffs shocking
