No.

Brave idea, but if you managed 6 already, go on.
My only race today was there, lost 9 SR points by being bumped from behind (not a big one, not worth any penalty, the 10s for the opponent is a joke - and I say it, the one been bumped) and going a little wide (!) once at T4. That’s how easy to go back to 90 SR.

Only once in nearly 3000 races have I matched my 16 clean race streak without 'gaming' it, so good luck!

Tip: If you really want the achievement, and you're sure you screwed it up, quit the race before the end and you keep the clean race streak. I wish I had known that when I was going for it and got burned after a 10 and 12 clean streak.

I cut the track the very next race and ended the streak. That's pretty cool to get 6 without trying for it though. My best had been 4

Well always making progress counts in the sport mode of dirty drivers

Hey guys, I've started becoming more and more competitive ever since I got a Logitech G29 racing wheel. Now I'm really starting to have fun and I'm going to upload races that I think I got a good performance on. So here's my first online race with the G29:


And here's a good example of karma (watch Eduuru closely at the end, he fell to last place in like less then 1 meter before the finish haha, and I also win in this race):


Btw, my PSN is Flashyman, I went by a different name on the forum. Is there a way to edit your forum name? Or do I have to contact an admin/moderator for that if it is even allowed?

No one wanted to take their medicine.
Only me(1.0 second too much curb in the bowl) and one other player served ours.
Started 4th to 3rd to 6th to 3rd.

The midfield must be lit

Interlagos seems to have got te Le Mans treatment. 🤬 hate it anyways.

 

[05XR8]

Before that last race, most players were well behaved, knowing the consequences. Some taps at a few corners, but dive bombs at T1 have eased. (SOME)People seem to be getting the message.

Man the F1500T-A is an unusual car to drive! Tried 4 races, and was always last after the first corner after being pin-balled into the sand trap every time. Not a very popular race, as most of them had on average 13 drivers with mixed DR. Briefly went down to SR-B (from max SR-S) after 3 races, but was getting used to how the car handles. Anyway, good to end on a high note; need to recover my SR, but not today!

Interlagos cutting penalties are very strict now. 5 to 10 seconds for just going wide sometimes.

The daily c can be very difficult to drive clean if you end up in a pack of cars. I dropped from AS today to BC lol. On the plus side I've gotten a bunch of wins working my way back up.

I have a gripe with that race today (er.. yesterday). What's up with making us race F1 cars with medium tires???

The penalty are OK imho.
You have to stay into the track, not out of the track... Ahahahahahah
C'mon...

The daily races today brought to you by Litchi.

Race A: MEGANE, MIYABI, 9 LAPS
Race B: BRANDS HATCH GP, GR2, LAPS 6
Race C: MT PANORAMA, GR4, FUEL 7, LAPS 8

C'mon...

haha i agree, but the punishment needs to fit the crime. If I'm not gaining any time from it, why penalize me an extra 5-10 seconds.

also lol

 

[Litchi]

No GT Sport for me today, none of the combo suits to me. Time to spend some time with family

also lol

I feel for you. P1 and led P2 around 1s till the last lap, I out braked myself at the last corner and went to the grass (4 wheels outside the curb). It gave me 3.xxx penalty. Still ahead after the corner but I lost the race and clean race bonus. Haha

This lost (heavy penalty though I gain nothing from this incident) is a good way to remind myself there is no room for error and I should keep the car on track imo.

Thanks to the Sr down to B last night, I got three win today morning and back to Sr S.

 

[Macboyilija]

I had a blast at Tsukuba tsukuba thursday. Went from DR 34000 to DR 39000 a new online record !

Dood! If an alien like you can't keep it on the track, defiantly time to have a break and get some rest. Try again tomorrow

Something is wrong with @Alpha Cipher i beat him at Maggiore Center. My best moment ever !

Daily Race A: Starts every hour at the :00, :20, and :40 minute.

FINALLY A NORMAL AND LOGICAL TIMEFRAME !!!!

So apparently I'm on a six race consecutive clean race streak. All from races at Interlagos... do... do I sacrifice my Dr and try to go for it?

It only feels right when racing. Not driving at the back. My record is 11 races driving in top 3. So much more rewarding than driving at the back.

watch Eduuru closely at the end, he fell to last place in like less then 1 meter before the finish haha

That was indeed funny

 

[TheNorfolkDad]

Rubbish races today, should have raced yesterday instead

 

[Suntek]

Anyone noticed how badly the penalty blocks the screen when driving the little Indy with roof cam?

Every time I got one, I had to shrug it off straight away, otherwise with SLOW DOWN and stopwatch leaving like 1cm of sight unclogged, crashing into something is unavoidable.

 

[05XR8]

Just did some Bathurst qualy runs in the 458. That thing is niiiiiiice.

Mt. Bumporama...

 

[Suntek]

Which Megane on A?

 

[ed24]

It's a Clio (N200) on Blue Moon (Speedway) not a Megane on Miyabi

 

[TamasToth]

went to the grass (4 wheels outside the curb). It gave me 3.xxx penalty.

If the rules (and penalties) are not consequent, that's what bothers me. I went wide at T4, 4 wheels on the wide curb, however 4 wheels outside of the white line (which means the edge of the track for me, so I'm OK with being penalized), worth about the same penalty. How? And what about Nearburgring GP's first section, where the track is just something a lot of people cross sometimes, otherwise they are driving everywhere around? It is not rocket science to sense and treat those damn track-edges consequently.

I'm absolutely in for the correct and fair, strict track limits, but everywhere. Consequently. Otherwise it's just another goldmine for the children in 0-24 duty at the PS to exploit. Against fair racers.

 

[05XR8]

I think the 458 has a 4-cylinder.👎

Oh boy, I was getting chased down. Bye Mustang. Bye GT-R. Bye RC F. Even @CLowndes888 motored away in his 86.

Gave everyone room all race and last lap at The Chase, a turtle Megane Trophy pokes his head out and off I go.

Well, NSX is next. Then 4C, RC F and last will be the Genesis of my RWD only Gr. 4 racing.

 

[05XR8]

I don't recommend the 458, NSX or 4C. Especially for me. At Mount Panorama.

I like the Genesis round Bathurst.

I wasn't feeling bad when I did those times. I think I also gave my best there. You beat me fair and square, no other way around it

Feeling much better than yesterday, but the dailies aren't to my liking. Gonna watch some anime instead

 

[Invisigoth]

For some weird reason the WRX seems to work for me at Bathurst. Gives me a hard time at other tracks but Bathurst seems ok. The 4C seems to be best suited to short tracks where it's handling on corners shines.

 

[05XR8]

I like the Genesis round Bathurst.

I like that car everywhere. People don't see it coming. Plenty of grunt.

Back to FR for me.

Edit: @Invisigoth I just wanted to race all my Gr. 4 RWD cars. Very telling, the transition from Interlagos to Bathurst.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Not sure who I dislike more; the punters or the guys who manage to knock down the brake markers.

Enjoyed my first race in over a race. Took pole, fastest lap and the win at Bathurst. To be fair, I had been dropped down to SR A after a punt-fest at Dragon Trail - Seaside in my previous race, so it wasn’t against the tough competition I would usually get. But I’ll take it.
