ThePhantomAli: You're in *my* world now! mwahahaha!
what happen? that's big drop
Me too brother, me tooIm a painfully average driver, but the Nordschleife is the one track I know very well. Needless to say I dropped from C/S to D/B from the madness. I can't imagine ever escaping the bumper cars league now.

Today I broke the 2:00 barrier at Suzuka
A barrier I only once dreamt of breakingView attachment 728097
ok so here's a question, I'm compiling my replays of last night and a guy messaged me after one race and just come across the "incident", he's behind and carrying more speed on a straight, not significantly more, but he's going faster than me. Is it within my right to drift over to close the door? Bare in mind I gave him plenty of time to react and he's still going for a gap that is no longer there?
Whoah congrats! That's a story to be told for a whileHow honor and lucky I was I finished ahead of top racer. I just can’t believe saw his ghost car. Read post race message he got spin. JAdam was the winner in the end.
1st time I stayed so long after the race to read others’ post-race messages.![]()
You can do it! Last time I did Suzuka Gr. 3 it's almost the same time as yoursI also dream of it but not yet achieved. Another 0.6s to go.
AMS has the same flag with me.👍
Thanks your blessingWhoah congrats! That's a story to be told for a while

Singaporean flag always looked weird to me... So I went back to the flag I'm used to(My PSN on the PS3 had the HK flag as well)
Thanks your blessing
Off GTS for F1 qualifying.![]()
I'm having great races in Suzuka since early.
Managed a good time trial, but still trying to go under 2:00.000
Did 6 races so far, 5 wins and one 2nd place.
This second place was a weird one.
I'm leaving the video here.
I'm not blaming anybody here neither saying it's his/her or mine fault for the penalties, actually I think they were minor rubbing.
My question here is the penalty system and what it shows when we get it.
First it was at 0.50 seconds, on the first turn, I got one second and the message in game shows me orange SR and says he also got orange and 5 seconds penalty
I did try to slow down in the hairpin and in the last chicane on the first lap to see if the penalty was reduced but nothing happen.
He was on top of me and in my head he had 5 seconds and also could't rub it off.
At 3.38 he hits me again this time in the hairpin.
I get 1second and, according to the game message, both orange SR plus 4 seconds for him.
At this time I have 2 seconds penalty and he should have got 9seconds
I managed to get a 1.5 seconds ahead on the last laps, on the last section of lap 4 I try to slow down but the penalties don't come down, he glues on me again and I think to myself "I have two and he have 9, so what, I still win"
The race finishes and he has nothing, not even a red dot... we both finish with blue Sr but I got second due to the penalties.
I try to explain this in the after-race chat but all I got from that driver was an insult
Watching the replay I know I could avoid first hit, but so could he... Second hit I don't understand...
This penalty system is crazy, but if the game would tell me that I got orange Sr and the other driver had no penalties maybe I would have taken a different approach to the end
One move. Was he going fast enough that he would have been ahead of you at the next corner?
Y'all must be masochists for doing 24h nurb races.
*Raises a paw*. Erm...maybe?
Just finished the Green Hell. Holy whiplash Batman! I was in a mixed grid of A's, Bs, a couple of Cs and 5 Ds, with me qualifying P7/17. Really 7/10 since 7 didn't post a qualifying time.
I had a great start, and with the standing start I was in 2nd at the first corner. Unfortunately the car didn't handle *anything* like it did in qualifying, so I screwed up the first of the two tight corners after the 2nd corner. When I got back on the track I was bashed six ways from Sunday and tumbled down the list. Finally got going again and was held up by slower drivers, and trying not to hit them, getting rear ended multiple times till I got to the end of the first decent of the Nordschleife. I was struggling with the difference in handling but managed to more or less hold down my tumbled position. The 2nd lap was easier and I made some ground, past a couple of people, then got rammed again. Finished 12th with 5 seconds of penalties, and I wasn't the only one!
Somehow after all that carnage I still managed to creep up from 93 to 95 SR and even gained a few DR points. I really need to learn how to read Kanji, I have no idea what 95% of the pre/post race comments are!
