What's the Gr.X for race C? Zagato VGT? (I saw someone say Zagato earlier)

Also, is there any place that lists this other than in-game? neither Apps tell me that unless I'm blind

I like this car and track combination.
 
Holy snaps!!! That #6 again. :)

With no penalties and I got bumped off track. This thing is a rocket.. A Scirocket! I bested a couple Trophys fair and square.
When I qualified, I made a mistake and went onto the grass and still bested my NSX's time by 0.5secinds!
Man, I wish there were a Gr. 4 Civic Type R.

Edit: and again. What is this magic?

I pulled away from a Citroen and the Meganes after making contact with an early braking M4. Fell to 10th and a lonely race in 5th, after dispatching that Citroen to a 2.8 second gap.

Those Trophys can kiss my grits!!
I set a time 3 seconds faster than in the NSX.

I got a 3 second penalty because, the lead Trophy got passed after I was bumped off on T1. Then, as I gathered up for a come back towards the end of lap one, by passing the Trophy that bumped me off, the 2nd place Trophy(no pin intended), brake checks me way before T1.

Anyway, I pass the two leading Trophys and motor on to Fastest laps during the race. Oh, yeah, #6... AGAIN. The system knows by now. ;)

I take it you sold the Gr4 NSX and after the Scirocco one makes, the Scirocco is your new Gr4 darling? :lol:

:lol: oh no no. I made a Spoon livery for it after the initial One Make. The first race in the NSX, I tried my best. I just wanted to see how a pretend Spoon Civic would do. Man, was I surprised from then on. 👍

This was mainly to calm down the "Trophy is this and Trophy is that". I didn't get to race against the players that set those 1:58 times due to my rating. However, the last race I did, I came 1st, next were an RC Z, Evo, GT-R and an NSX in 5th.
The first Trophy in 6th, had a penalty and another Trophy had 8 seconds.

Don't know about other regions, but please, no more crying that they can't be beaten. They don't own Alsace II. ;)

Now, back to some normalcy in the NSX.

It was fun in GR.2, GR.1 has never featured on Alsace in sport mode afaik. GR.4 no thanks!

The flow is all right, yet because it's so wide people come from all angles and try to dive in every corner. With faster cars the lines tighten up a bit, in GR.4 it's almost like you're driving through busy intersections all the time.

By far my best night racing tonight happened on this track. Perfect track for the Audi TT Cup car.

As for Group 1, I know it's never been featured, but I like to do offline custom races and it's a great track for me to use the Audi '16 R18 on. As is the original Dragon Trails layout.

I was beating Megan's with the TT Cup (as it should be), suddenly those Megan's don't seem so amped.
 
I did a bunch of races on Big Willow to determine which color is the fastest.

Purple and Sublime are the fastest. The default orange is the slowest.
Purple and red are the cleanest colors while sublime and blue gave me a penalty.
Purple and blue gained me the most positions.

Purple wins in all categories, go purple!

The rooms were all totally unbalanced, DR.A to DR.D all mixed up in the starting grid while my last race only had 9 people. I guess the same rabbit in the last 3 or 4 races didn't entice people to keep coming back. My DR went down by about 900 over all. It all depends on matchmaking whether you go up or down, at least it does when you never qualify :)

I didn't feel like racing on Maggiore. Last time I did a fast one make there in a daily C I could hardly keep my eyes open by lap 6. Establish position by lap 3, hot lap for the rest of the race, no thanks.

Tomorrow 2 laps on Sarthe, should have been 3 but I'll take it.
 
hmm, no one seems to be posting? I did race A. It kinda sucked. Thought I'd set a pretty good qualifying time, but ended up P6/11 with only 1 other D, there was a couple of Cs and an A, the rest Bs. My experiences with race A's regardless of the track or car is that people tend to be very rude inconsiderate. I'm getting a bit tired of having people dive up the inside just to get ahead, only to slow to a crawl to get around the corner. It destroys the flow of the game. More often than not I'm already turning and committed to my line, when they push me off the track and I get penalised for it into the bargain :mad:. Finished P9.

DR down, SR down 7.
 
I actually enjoyed Race C yesterday quite a bit. I didn’t think I was going to, but Maggiore is my track so I gave it a shot and ended up about 1 second slower than the top 10 times in Americas region.

5 or 6 races yesterday, one win, the rest podiums. Since not many people were racing yesterday I didn’t gain a lot of points, as I was usually one of only 2 DR.A drivers, but still nabbed up around 1300 DR and maintained SR.99. Man those cars were tough to handle, I guess I was doing pretty good but it still felt like I was barely holding on the whole time. I was actually leading one race for a couple laps after the leader spun out, then I put one wheel in the dirt on the final turn and spun out myself, ended up in 3rd. Overall a good day racing a weird car.
 
Well @daan , I kinda find La Sarthe is a track where I can gain back SR ;). Did a few laps qualifying in the RSR till I felt a stood a chance of not getting any penalties, and qualified P6/16. That dropped to 14 before the race started. There was a couple of DR/C and a B, the rest were my peeps.

Sadly my dreams of a penalty free, clean race bonus race were shattered on the turn going onto the strait (Tertre Rouge?) I got a couple of wheels on the blue. I also discovered that penalties are harder to bleed off in the race than they are in qualifying :eek:. I was doing well keeping up with the car in front when coming into the final chicanes he spun out. I think he must have got caught on the sausage. I sometimes spin out on the orange sausage on the first chicane at Monza. It was a pretty clean race, although I did get rear ended on the first lap at the Ford chicane. How I managed to stop myself from going off track is a mystery :scared:. Crossed the line carrying a 2s penalty with another car breathing down my neck. Fortunately he was carrying a 7s penalty :sly:. Finished P4. :D

Gained 4 SR points and finished with my DR higher than yesterday :dopey:. Another day above DR 1 :D.
 
So I used Strong Counter Steer, but then so did others, and also probably most of the world wasn't playing GT today :lol: . Nonetheless mega stoked to get into the top 10 in Qualifying for Race A today, with a very tricky car. Wonder if it will last till midnight!...#DevilsAssist

I got my 30th win today, but the most interesting part was the 2 guys ahead of me. They were having a battle, one got a penalty, dropped back behind me, then the guy wouldn't let me past, then the other guy came back past me and got his retaliation in, for both of us.

Not bad to start the morning. Only complaint are the bumping from the cars behind. I'd figure players get the message of slow down for the first couple of turns. There are long straights to make up time.

Other than that, good speed and handling helped me edge out those Mustangs, AMG GTs and RC Fs.

Tokyo is similar. Everyone knows the wall greets them if, they go too hot into T1 and too early on the throttle on exit.
Nope. Still mayhem. Then, the left sweeper under the railline. So one is going to get the jitters and early brake. Just back off. Nope. Traffic jam.

Good speed, handling and fuel economy, got me out of the grip of the "OyVey"rons, Huracans and everything else behind.

Went to bed at #5 in asia on le mans last night wake up 1 tenth outside top 10 and top Aussie. Super suprised might have to spend a couple of hours hot lapping instead of racing to see if I can make my time quicker. On a 3.57.23 so far

I went from top 8 to top 20 in only 5 hours. They're about to break into the 3:54's here which is just insane.
 
I tried Sarthe twice in the afternoon, got punted off in both races.

Dirty afternoon drivers.

Instead I decided to put our new bbq together to replace the one that caught on fire last week and broke our window. Turns out the hose for the hookup, which they assured me is standard size, size of a dime I asked, does not fit. So I heated up let overs on the stove, as our microwave went up in blue smoke last night. H98 inverter board error code, no ****, the huge cloud of acrid blue smoke didn't give that away...

Hopefully my ps4 pro won't catch on fire and I can race on Sarthe tonight now my internet seems to behave a bit better. /Knock on wood (don't catch on fire)
 
I must say, the Challenger is CHALLENGING to drive. You legit have to muscle it around every corner because all it wants to do is slide. I still managed to get my 63rd Sport Mode win tough; only because I kept it on the track... just.
