"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

I'm more interested in the one on the other car. "SR-Down" Ha!

I can share in-game https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gtsport/user/livery/1461792/1/8223662061641564673 , or tell me other method if you really want to use it. That could end up in funny videos if there was half the pack uses this same livery in a suitable race.
And thanks for the feedback. Both of you.

Did I do anything during the entire race to warrant what happened at the end?

I don't see you did anything wrong. But I do see a muppet from the most disgusting type, who ruined your win. And seems purely and definitely intentional. In a properly working system we could not find this ... creature for the next few months - while he is banned out of any online race. His name worth remembered, just every fair player to know who to avoid.
Was he reported? BTW, anything ever happened to this reports?
(Still can't see the smartness behind this rule here, we can insert a video, or even a screenshot clearly indicating the name, but not allowed to type. Joke.)

How'd you do that ._. I could barely get under 1:43 with the audi, like two whole seconds slower than the porsche

edit: oh you mean the VGT. I thought you meant the le mans

No I mean the R18 '16
The VGT's slower IMO. The R18's faster through the turns for me

Hmmm probably brands for me tonight but I’m intrigued by this GrB race. I probably have collectively around 20 miles in GrB cars so this will all be relatively new to me.

What is the META car for the GrB race today?

Currently the Top 10 in EMEA is full of the Pikes Peak Quattro and the NSX Gr.B car

Last night was on the verge of getting back to SR:S and then the spanish inquisition came.

 

[MhtyClipster]

Two tries at Race B, started 3rd both times. Got a 2nd and a 3rd. Also had a quick go at Brands just trying to get the remainder of my SR back so a no stop. Back up to my usual rank of B/S after yesterdays reset to D/E.

Troublesome... probably...
Several weeks ago (probably almost 2 months) there also was a Group B daily race on a variation of Willow Springs Streets, and the cars also had those tires.... their behavior ... was not very pleasant...

 

[TheGeologist]

You should try the Weekly Race Series (WRS) a part of the gts online racing league

Why do you say that? Links?

Haha I've never really dabbled with them so I'm intrigued... like driving on ice one would assume?

Pretty much. It's ridiculous. A rally car set up for tarmac is nothing like that, and they sure as heck aren't using soft sport tyres.

no... just excessive attrition ... it feels unreal and the response is strange... one thing needed is to minimize the driving wheel torque (if you re using one...)

I remember i tried GrB in a lobby with sports tyres. It was a wreckage.
I am still interested in trying it though especially it's Infield which is turning out to be one of my favorite tracks.

 

[flamingchariot]

got my 3rd win and second pole on Blue Moon with the MX5 on Monday had to wait since last year lol finally got SR S if only my DR was so good ha ha ha but if I'm honest I'd rather race cleanly and finish last than demo derby all comers off the track to get to 1st

Awful Gr.B daily in the Asian server.

Went from 4th to 9th, then up to 2nd then got sabotaged and finished 7th.

All because of a scumbag driver in a WRX who kept ramming everyone into the wall.

You´ve reported that Terrorist... I hope!

Of all the words you could have picked, what made you think "terrorist" was the correct one?

It seems reasonably descriptive...

Nice pick:tup:

I just tried to find where and how to report an abusive player, with no luck. Anyone could help me with a link or a short description?

After the race on results screen, click offenders name.

 

[TheGeologist]

Have there been any reports of players who are reported a lot being penalized somehow?

 

[TamasToth]

After the race on results screen, click offenders name.

Thank you!
However, as far as I can recall, I tried that and I was just able to message him. But I shouldn’t be surprised if I missed something, or this is working the same as the penalties. Sometimes random

You've never heard of the game "punch bug"? Played on road trips, you and the person next to you try to be the first to spot a VW bug. The first to see one shouts "PUNCH BUG!" and hits the arm of the person next to them .

We do it with yellow Minis here and it doesn't have a name.. you just punch the other person

Erm.... erm... FF? No such creature in Gr3. the Beetle in GTS is FR 👍.

The 'roc

The town my university is in also has a tiny sub-culture like that!
Like, specifically only in that town, and you wouldn't find this in the rest of the country. 1st gen beetles are really common there, so when you're in a group and you see one you would say/shout "Pendong!" and you'd make a peace sign and hit all the other people in the head with that peace sign

Well, I cannot believe I’ve never used bonnet/hood can before, I am so much faster, I can feel exactly what the car is doing so I know exactly how hard to step on it out of a turn. I’m gonna miss that rear view though

I've been playing with the rear 3rd person camera lately, mostly because Kaz said it was too easy. I found that if you adjust the camera settings so that is locked to the rotation of the car it's...well it's very easy.

I traditionally use cockpit, bumper or over hood view but wanted to play with this view a little.

 

[Robben]

hit all the other people in the head with that peace sign

Wha?

 

[Alpha Cipher]

Wha?

I don't really know how to describe it better... there's a native term for that that doesn't have a real english translation
Basically you slide the two fingers of your peace sign across the other's head fast and hard
