5th. win on bb raceway today... third day in a row with a top 10 qualifying time. Hope that stays that way :D
 
Thats your opinion. It helps me a lot to improve time from 25.111 down to 25.059 and down again to 24.991.... 15 minutes of time was worth!
but it sucks... :p 300 ronds??? Man.. you´ve lost 1st 15 minutes from your life seeing the video.. then.. 300 x 25 sec (at least) = 7500 sec = 125 min=2 hour + 5 minutes.. in a total of at least 2 hours and a half of your life just to do that???? Tch.... what a lousy waste of time... and life... :P

Can be. Or not. That lap time gives me 8 or more wins today... :D
 
After getting knocked down to SR A, trying to work my way back up. Not the best race but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!

You just described a typical credit farm in x-bow :D
 
yeah, lol, blacki makes 300 laps qualifying and everyone think it's funny :p

But it is hard work. Really! Aaaannd: Normaly i do less laps... on 1:30 laps maybe only 100 laps... :p

much more interesting!! :) lol... and ech farming session will take less then 15 minutes... so in 2,5 hours I would do something like. 10 of those sessions!!!!! And farm between 2 to 3 milllion bucks!!!
 
R18 and 919 at 'Lagos are hilarious at first lap turn 1. Almost gained 4 positions at the start in one race from Mazda and Bugatti VGTs.
 
I have a 14 second mp4 video I would like to share. How would I do that as of now it will not allow me?
 
Im done with racing 4 today... Can't see BB Raceway anymore for a long time now xD
Did 19 races and 14 wins today in A+/S... best racing day ever. Ca tomorrow fellows :-)

Together with those 300 laps qualifying, that's almost 9 hours of game time. I'm glad I'm not the only one that crazy :)
14 wins is a great haul!

Upload it to YouTube or your choice of video hosting site, and then embed the video into your post by clicking on the Media icon above the box that you write in, and paste the url of the uploaded video (Y).

I had maybe 5 disc. in total in last 5 months.
Anyone else has this problem?

What internet you got? Dynamic IP with expiration time? Port forwarding, the usual stuff?

While I have had them, they never used to be that common. Now I get maybe one each day? Usually right before warmup so the damage is done before I get to race, which is something. I’ve only been disconnnected once mid race and that was in 1st place towards the end, so I know how frustrating that can be.
 
Nice result today. I normally do 1 race and get bored. Come 3rd from about 10th race C.

Fixed IP, cable connected PS4, 12/2Mbit, NAT 2.
Its weird because as soon as I get disconnected from race, I am still connected to server. No red sign on upper right or need to reconnect.
Hope it doesnt happen tomorrow, already lost many DR pts.

Same I still haven’t recovered my 2000 Dr lost from Monday disconnection due to my limited race time.

Interlagos and me don't go along well. I started racing with a slow 1:28 quali lap to see if I would be better off in the back, starting pretty much last. Not really. Sure T1 was no problem, yet then you've got to avoid all the wreckage, inexperience and impatient drivers trying to get back to the front. After making up a couple places a bad bump pass knocked me down again. Then the game decided to **** on me as well.

Launched backwards , DQ timer counting down and heavy SR down for driving the wrong way...

Next race, messy again, plenty bumping, I can't drive through the car in front of me, adjust your braking point sigh. Then bad luck strikes after I finally manage to escape the fighting back field. One inch too close to the edge, spun out, and back behind the mess again, DOH!

The race after I ended up reporting 5 people for repeated disgusting behavior. If you ram someone once and get 4 sec, why ram him again the next corner for another 5 sec? One car the game had completely given up on, he wasn't lapped or anything yet had a free pass to drive through everyone. Perhaps it happens when someone's SR drops too low? All 3 races I ended up with a white S, at least no SR points lost.

Then I updated my quali time between races to 1:20.490, enough of the back, starting 3rd now. The Porsche in 4th overtakes me, expected (driving the Bugatti myself), I brake on time, get punted from 2 cars back. Another car hits me from behind in T1, 2 sec penalty to start with and 'luckily' only drop to 5th as the first punter has created chaos in T1.
Unfortunately now I'm behind a dirty blocker. Last second blocks, squeezing, changing lines in the braking zone. After 4 laps he finally manages to catch me on his bumper with his antics, 10 sec penalty for me. I have to serve the 12 sec and fall way back. Luckily the rest of the race went fairly well with only a minor bump from behind without any penalty issued. I finished 6th in the end. I survived with a blue S, the punter and dirty blocker both had red ratings, justice. The dirty blocker finished far back, after serving many penalties I bet, unfortunately the initial punter finished in front of me.

Oh well, driving the Bugatti was fun, I made lots of clean over takes and only hit one car in the end, the dirty blocker. At least it wasn't boring although it cost about 3K DR to race there today. Some tracks you earn, some you spend.
 
I bet 300 laps was a hyperbole :dunce:

I missed a answer here yesterday, was tired from racing.... :D
I did a calculation to get the exact numbers of laps yesterday. I drove only bb raceway and nothing else, and did a complete distance of 1.221,5 km.

BB Raceway is 1.665 km long. Makes in complete a sum of 733.6336 laps (1.221,5/1,665). Each race has 15 laps + 1 warmup lap, makes 16. I did 19 races and maybe for ten of them the warmup. (16 * 19) - 10 (not driven warmup ups) = 294. Well, when i did 294 laps in the races, there are 439 laps left that i did not in races (733 - 294).

And finally, to answer your bet, and to show you, that you loose it, it didn't do 300 qualifying laps, thats right, i did 439 qualifying laps. Yeah... i have no words on my own now... xD

Worth it to get a 24.9, well done! Btw it’s interesting that in the Asia region there is only 1 person in the 24.9’s, so you would be 2nd in Asia! But in Europe the whole Top 10 is 24.9 lol! The Europeans must really like speedway tracks!
