yesterdays G3 oval racing was annoying at times got punted off 4 times and lots of pushing out, however it did improve when my DR and SR recovered and I was eventually rewarded with a win

Congratulations on your win.

I avoided it for that reason though!

No, not to do with your English which is very good :lol:..

No, I wanted to ask because on the top 10 (it must have been Gr. 1 Dragon Trail) I recognised your PSN from your username here and noted that you were German (which I didn't know before as you don't have a flag by your name). It may have only been in top 10 for a short period, but you were definitely there.

:)

And now you have added your flag.

Edit: maybe it was during a qualifying session you were doing, so you didn't notice.

I'm sure it will be the 911 tonight. I would usually use that but may try the RCF though given your experience with it...

The RCF feels a bit twitchy, but damn fast around the slow corners at Nürburgring.
I was surprised that I got pole, the fastest lap and the win against BS and AS driver with ease last week. :)

TCS on or are you a purist?
 
bmxmitch
I drive with a pad! So mostly TCS at 2 (M6 or 458 at 3 though) :O

Same! Any RWD has to be on 2 or it's a waste of time. OK, may give that a try tonight then. I think it will be the only race I do, so I can put some time into it.

Yes, it can be. I have done 50 laps or so during qualify and jumped immediately into the races, without looking on the board again...
 
I've got nine wins so far in my GTS career. Of those nine, five have come at Interlagos (Gr3 = 3 wins, Gr4 = 2 wins), but none yet at the Gr1 level. Thus far has been a struggle for me with Gr1. I'm not even sure if I have managed a top five or ten at any track in Gr1. With Gr3/4, I religiously drive Dodge Viper, but I have not found the same success with the Dodge Tomahawk in Gr1. The Tomahawk has terrible acceleration. I've tried the Hyundai, and it's okay, but still not very comfortable. In general, the Gr1 handling in this game does not feel normal to me. It's so awkward and the cars feel too fast and feel like they have too much grip.

I don't really want to use the Porsche or Mazda because I feel like everyone uses them. If I have time today, I'm gonna test a bunch of the Gr1 cars that I have at Interlagos, and see what feels the best for me. I'd really like to grab a win in that daily race.

Hopefully the Feb. update will balance the class out.

I still can't find a car I'm conformable with in Gr1. With Gr3/4, I religiously drive Dodge Viper, but I have not found the same success with the Dodge Tomahawk in Gr1. The Tomahawk has terrible acceleration. Off any corner, I get blown by. I've tried the Hyundai, and it's okay, but still not very comfortable.

if you want a gr1 win at Interlagos mate I think you gotta join the crowd and jump in the 919 or the mazda. mazda I prefer tbh.... you won't get beaten to the first corner by the 919s as the approach to the first is quite short when starting a race.

Let me know how the Lexus treated you then ;)
 
I'm having a weird issue, I tried to do the Interlagos race and bought the Mazda LM55 to give that a go, however when I go to start qualifying and pick a car the Mazda is not available but I own it (top of the screen 1st image) 2nd image shows the cars that are available. Any ideas, I have restarted the game twice and restored licenses?

That Mazda you have is a Group X version NOT the Gr. 1

I had the same thing last week where I thought I had it. Go to the Mazda shop in Brand Central and you will see the Gr. 1 does not have a blue tick next to it.

Edit: the page that it is bringing up when you click to enter shows all of your group 1 cars (i.e anything you own that is valid for the race).

You have plenty of credits to afford it anyway.. 1m

Cheers mate, now I feel like a dumbass :crazy: :)

Thanks again
 
Trying Race C now. Done 25 quali laps and ended on 1.20.2... not so good... maybe i skip the next races and do qualifying for an hour... Lets take a look how the pack is in there...
 
After I do the FIA races I’m going to be on the Nurb all evening in race B. GR3 on that track is one of my favorite combos. Probably switching between the AMG and the 458.
 
What brake balance are you guys using for the Nurburgring race, I'm using the RSR?
 
bmxmitch
The Lexus just seem to be the ultimate underdog at the Nürburgring GP :sly:

I love the RC F (both Gr3 and Gr4), has a lot of acceleration which works on Nurb GP, don't know why it isn't more popular.

I'm going to give the 650S another run, PD really needs to make that car more competitive.

Great idea for a thread. Should be stickied.

Rating means nothing. People "boost" to get high ratings fast and don't achieve them through proper racing etiquette, so you never know who's truly clean or not.

I agree to this point. I've really enjoyed the one make races and recently the Group 1 cars on short(er) Tracks. If I don't get lucky and set a good qualifying time I'm usually top 8 in the grid. HOWEVER...i've noticed a recurring pattern if you avoid 1st corner carnage and end up lapping back markers they will swerve and try and ram you off - why? I have also noticed nationality seems to be an issue though that may be down to the region more than anything else...I don't want a union jack on me - seems like a target :crazy:. Joking about the last point aside I was sandwiched in between 2 other cars (Audd TT's) all the way into the first corner of Brands Hatch GP (the first right hander after the straight and hill)....all I could do was brake at the correct point and hope to break free :lol: Should be called "brands hatchet job gp" the replay is not pretty... I went from 9th to 6th so it wasn't a total loss. Another car intentionally (the nationality thing) swerved in front of me attempting to take me out before a corner (knowing I was overtaking him) - I just braked and watched him hit dirt. He tried to hit me from behind a lap later but he wasn't fast enough ha ha ha...:gtpflag:To be clear I am not decrying or defaming any nationality due to the behaviour of a belligerent few.
 
Wow, what a race today. I think i have enough action and thrill for now :lol: Qualified on 7th, for the first laps a very compressed field without much space. Really short distances. Done a pit in 6th round, falling back to place 13. Get up to place five and had massive pressure in lap 11/12 from behind. Finished 5th. You know this when your heartbeat goes up, the hands get sweaty and your only tough is "no, please, do not a single small mistake"... had this in this race, absolutely awesome. One of the best races with this feelings. It's worth to watch it. I did it multiple times :D

How did the Toyota behind you get into this Mazda One Make race!? Must be a cheater ;)

btw do you alter the FFB settings for Gr. 1 / Mazda? I tried the Mazda exactly on the Interlagos track a few days ago and noticed that especially on the very light left bend on the start/finish straight I had FFB effects that made the car jump more than 1m to to left (because the FFB effect made the wheel move so much). I have it set to 3 / 9 btw.
