1:47 best lap with heavy wets while trying to get the pit crew to provide service. They ignored me, bastards were having lunch. Been lurking for a while around here, really like the forum. Felt compelled to register because I’m the nudger sorry about that, I try to always race clean, I’m very rarely not SR S. But I made a mistake, too late on the brakes in traffic, couldnt keep the inside on the hairpin. Should have known better than to try two wide through the Esses. Sorry for your penalty, I ended up in the kitty litter... karmas a b.... I got punted so hard the next race! So a couple a raced in row I ended up in the back of the pack, some guy named Svenno back there too. Hope to see you all out thereI was in that race, and I saw @Sven Jurgens there, as well as in a few other races last night.
I started 3rd in a Blue/Yellow LA Rams liveried Mitsubishi. Dr. B Sr. S right now.
Pigems, you just got smaller and smaller in front of me, and absolutely nothing I could do about it.
Second lap I got nudged off track on the super tight left hander; in the following right left right section I didn't give enough room to the "nudger" on my outside exiting the turn...we bumped and I got 4 seconds. Served the penalty on the ensuing front stretch (not recommended, lost a A LOT more than 4 seconds there), struggled back and finished 5th or 6th. Only penalty I had for the night. (About 6 races).
Sven, I watched the replay of that race (or it might have been the one right after), and saw you split two cars going into the first left hander (1st chicane), pass both perfectly clean before the quick right hander, only to have one of them out of control punt you off a second later. One of those nights....
Cool to race with you guys.
Interesting, I hit 1:39.3xx without cutting the chicane corners. Gotta give the corners another try. I too have only been clearing 29's and 30's in the 1st sector. Looks like another night of practice for me, until the GTSport kiddies go to bed for the night.
I use several profiles all on the one Playstation subscription. There's no need for separate PSN accounts... just profiles.
Had to reel in my approach, and way of thinking last night at the Garden. Couldn't figure out why my DR was declining. So I made the conscience decision to run 1 last race, and call it a night. Low and behold, I managed to keep it clean, and on the track started 9th or 10th finished 3rd. SR still at 99, and DR increased by a couple hundredI have this mental image of Pigems after crossing the line and pulling in to the pits at the end of the race, opening the door and a cloud of smoke pouring out. He gets out and says "Yeh mon..."
Only race for the evening, Race B. I went out with the M4 after de-Brockyfying it. So much more controlled than the WRX. Was nice to be able to get the car settled at the first turn of the 4 consecutive right handers and just put the foot to the floor and take them as one big long turn. Shame I just couldn't quite manage that during the race. I beat my WRX qualifying time on the second qualifying lap. I started P9/12 as the highest placed DR/C... mainly because I was the *only* DR/C
. Three DR/Ds behind me and DR/A and B in front.
Race starts and I was hanging with the guys in front for 2 laps before I started to fall behind. I was being way too cautious and the guy behind me hit me trying to pass. It was a pretty aggressive try that almost seemed like he completely ignored the fact that there was a car there. I got an orange SR for that
I didn't drive well, but well enough to stay on the track. SR still 99, DR went up about 350. Day 12, the DR/C odyssey continues.
. Thought to myself "not bad, 1 more couldn't hurt" 
. Next race started 7th or 8th, and finished 3rd again . I guess hind sight really is 20/20. I think I got bit by the dub bug from last week. As soon as I stopped pushing on the limit all the time, and just relaxed and took only the opportunities that were presented before me the racing got faster, cleaner, and profitable.
Nudging happens, sometimes it's nobody's fault. If I felt aggrieved I woulda called it a punt. It wasn't.
There's time to be had, I have to get more consistent.
Best to shut them up on the track.
Nothing quite as cool as hitting the trifecta!Well I got 2 races in tonight and I managed to shave 2 tenths off my time for Race B to 38.4. The first race I was originally starting second to a fella with a 37.2 time in an all DR B SR S room, he didn’t end up making it through warmup though so I got the pole to start the race. I had a good run and went lights to flag by 5s for a Clean Dub + FL + CRB, the trifecta!! It was actually win #60 if I’m counting both accounts, #6 on my new one though.
Second race, another B/S room with two A/S drivers mixed in, the 37.2 dude was back on the pole and this time he made it through warmup, yup it wasn’t a fluke lap lol, he was fast. I held onto his shadow for two laps but after that he was gone and the dude in the WRX behind me started catching me over the last two laps, he spend lap 4 near right on my back bumper but never got past that and fell back to .7 behind by the final corners and I managed to finish 2nd with another CRB, 5s behind the 37.2 dude. It wasn’t my best race, I made a few lazy mistakes thinking the Subaru was farther behind then he really was, that’s how he ended up on my bumper, I got lucky this time.
Over my past 4 races I’ve gained just over 4500 DR while maintaining 99 SR, might be my best stretch yet.
I’ve got a secondary profile on my sons PS4 so I could play two player offline games with him but only his account can access online features as far as I know because only his profile paid for the PSN subscription to play games online. I don’t know about other online features like the PS Store, Netflix, etc..
🤬 Sven! Can you make the game any harder? I could only hope to be as fast while being consistent, (and as clean as possible) one dayI've been racing all day on DR Gardens. I'm actually starting to enjoy the track, it just needed some brute force experience. My DR graph however, looks like DR reset. I've driven all the GR.4 cars, never used the same car in a row, sort of random order to keep it interesting. Actually I did use the Ferrari twice in a row as it still had heavy wet tires on from my stunt driving on Tokyo
Lap 1 to quickly figure out how the car handles then try to get in the rhythm by lap 3 and pass some cars. It's not a good strategy to get fast at all, just having fun. My best finish so far was 6th in the Lexus and I did once get the fastest lap in the GT-R. I'm down to 15K DR currently, still getting matched with the 1:38 crowd on pole.
The backfield is 'interesting' in the gardens, so many places to stick a nose in to bump pass. The game upped the ante as well, giving me a standing start in one of my races. Just sitting there all by myself waiting for the timer, auto drive not working. Sure give everyone a 10 sec head start as well...
Now if only I had written down my best lap times with each car so I would know which ones to try more... Oh well. I wish it had a random option for the car. Half the time I had already forgotten which car I picked when the race started, can't find out either until the finish in bumper cam. Driving unknown, fun.
. My hat's off to you Sir!
