I'm going to miss Mount Panorama - the most fun ive had since i started the daily races a couple of months ago.
Looking forward to Willow when I get home.
I also found it pretty good on SR rating there were only a couple of races where i took a hit, I have improved my SR a lot this week.
 
Dammit, why do I have to work on Mondays?? I want to be home racing!! People don’t really need new kitchen cabinets right? I should just take the rest of the day off haha. I can’t wait to try the Integra on Suzuka, that sounds like a fun combo, I loves me some FWD!! :D

I think PD need to add the CRX next, who wouldn’t love to rip this baby around?? :)

First race of the new week. I'm rather fond of the desert. Looking forward to the increased competition, as my SR ascends.
Edit: I did one more race, before heading to work, and got the same result. Guys, if you're gonna do this race, all you've got to do is keep it off the dirt, and you'll have a nice finish. In my two races, I don't think a single other car kept it on the road for the whole race.

View attachment 795828 Finally Willow!
It's fun throwing the oldtimer around those curves, feels like bobsled :lol:

Didn't drove it yet. Is it proper racing or is it all about drifting around?

Havea feeling that even if we get new tracks in future updates, PD will just stick with the same ones. Weeird.

Yeah, that's pinpoint!

If we look how long it takes to race @ for example Brand's, Alsace, Willow, Dragon Trail Seaside, .... And 4 example: Infield A or B, it has never being a choice yet since the 'weekly's', and they are really nice tracks to drive. Same 4 Monza race C, still waiting for it.

Where is everyone flying off of the track? Big Willow is a weird track in that I've never had issues staying on the tarmac but other people drive it like they're a Mad Max extra.

I'd like to know that too.... spent a fortune buying the thing (half a mill??) took it for a time trial and found out it's probably great for drifting.... if you like drifting! Why is this thing so freaking expensive???
 
First race in the shelby. Started 3. Watched the two guys in front of me bump eacher around the first two laps till one of them finally goes full into the dirt on turn 1 lap 3. I manged to get into 1st as the other guy burned off his penelty right away. He was right on me till the end of lap 4 where he tucked inside with a nicer line than i had i eased up just a scoch but still tagged his rear quarter just hard enough, just after the apex and took us both out. I felt really bad for thinking i could hold my line without touching him. Waited for him to also recover and he manved to get back to 4 i finish 6. He accepted my apology after the race. Now to make sure if i see him again i am super clean with him

Second race: started 5 and followed, at a safe distance the top four who were having a very tight battle for three laps while building a gap behind me. At he end of the 3rd lap we lost one of the lead pack into the sand so i got 4th. I then touched the sand on the hairpin atop the hill and spun the shebly around. I am still trying to get used to the exact car width with the hood cam. Managed to finish 7.

My qualifying time is pretty slow right now. I was mostly just trying to feel out the car this morning. Hopefully i can get some racing in tonight...
 
Wanted to race so I jumped into B with a half-assed QT of 2:03. Thinking that might might be enough to get a good start early in the week. Started last of the qualifiers. 5 seconds behind pole. 2-3 seconds behind the car in front, I think it was 10th.

Was passed by the 2 cars starting behind me without qualifying times but DR S and A by turn 2. Passed 2 cars who went off along the way. Otherwise I was alone all race desperately trying to catch everyone else. Finished in the same position right behind the car in front. Pretty good I thought but -300 DR.

A lot of races I've been in lately have had 1 car at SRS, DR D or E and an almost top 10 QT. I saw once in a while before. It's been very frequent lately. Maybe it's just new/Christmas players.

Did you buy that car? When i drove the track, it was just a car that was provided by the game! Or...maybe i had it in my garage already.
 
Not able to race this week :( so thought id upload an onboard reference lap kind of thing

For anyone doing the Nurburgring GP Race B who doesn't know the track that well or is debating over line choices/where they can drop their lap time etc hopefully this will help a little



I did this lap a while ago now and the penalties have changed slightly, so i don't you can't go as wide in T2 ( finally! ) and with physics changes and BOP alterations the lap time may not stand up, but at the time it finished 1st EMEA and 3rd in the world rankings so the lines and braking points etc are still good for a reference.

Hope it helps someone :cheers:


So can we really drive 40 feet off the track?

Track limits?What track limits.:lol:
 
Wait what? How do you get free beer from a dairy? Haha

I work in a local craft brewery for a year now. Sadly the factory i was working in closed. It's to much hassel to change my name, and i use it on more than a few forums.

Damm, I was hoping you had invented heartburn (or Dale Burnheart as me and my buddies call it lol) free Milk Based Beer! :D

Track limits?What track limits.:lol:

It looks ridiculous I'll admit, and i'm all in favour of fixing track limits, but i was fighting for the top of the leaderboard, can't afford to give away precious tenth's for morals ;) not when everyone else is doing it too

Thankfully they've fixed it on those corners i believe, and it's only two corners out of fourteen which are still good for line references and stuff.

Track limits for FIA Grade 1 circuits are a joke, Interlagos is the only track where running off doesnt improve your lap time.

Havea feeling that even if we get new tracks in future updates, PD will just stick with the same ones. Weeird.

That's because Route X is useless for sport mode

Wow. One race on Suzuka, and my Sr dropped from 99 to 82, because of morons keeps bumping into me:irked:. SO done with Suzuka. I might give the ring a go, before putting the rig aside for a few days/weeks
 
I drove a lot on the Nürburgring on the weekend to increase my DR. I qualified in 7:33,191min.
I have to say, i wish every race will be so clean, close and save.



Finally i got the A+ Ranking. And this was my most itense awesome race on the Ring. Started and Finished in 2nd in 7:57,9 min after an all-in chase. Quick manual gear shift with clutch helps on straight :). Notice the mirror ;)



Enjoy the flight on the Ring
(i drove with G29 with H-Shifter and Clutch)

I’ve got the 98(not 92) Integra down to 2:40.1 so far, it’s a nice car to drive and they actually gave us OK tires at least. There’s definitely more there to find. :)

My wife actually took it around for a rip as well and scored a 3:36.5 for her best lap, I was impressed, she also drove a Miata on old Nordy yesterday for a smooth 13 minute lap. :)

Edit: Down to 2:39.3 now.
