I'm thinking N400 will be TVR or Z8. I'm all over the Z8. Been tuning and driving that the most since the update. The TVR, only drove it once. Trialing both right now.
 
Got disconnected from my 1st race this morning. Doesn't happen to me a lot.

I have a theory. I don't think the game likes the PS "Rest Mode". When waking from rest mode I think the settings for my wheel get confused. And when I go to race, the game thinks something isn't right and boots me out.

I think it's a good idea to avoid rest mode and always turn the PS off to make sure the game restarts and all the settings are good to go. I usually do this. I didn't last night. Which is why I think I got booted.
 
I had a moment of weakness and ruined my own race. First time I tried to take revenge and it will be my last.

My perspective

His perspective


I promise I will never be dirty Again.
 
2 things:

-1. He wasn't being really dirty, just being a bit too aggressive, and his front tires didn't grip as well as he hoped (he could've lifted when he realized he was on a collision course).

-2. Your ramming technique is pretty bad. You've gotta follow through and not snap the wheel back. :lol:

Is there a reason to not improve DR? I've seen 2 players this week that ran the race in the top spots and than fall back on the final lap. The first time I thought it was somebody that had to pause the game, but I've seen the same guy do it 4 times..

On the European server maybe. If there are enough entries for the game to separate people on DR then yes, lower DR can mean easier races. Actually on the merged American server I've been getting into some rooms without A/S drivers so there it's also 'helping' to lower DR.

The people that just want to win usually quit in the last lap though if they're not in first. The SR hit also helps to get easier races.

This is my favorite revenge punt. That was 11 months ago, not doing that anymore

Gotcha! He bumped me off in the double left, again.

I miss GR.1 on Big Willow.

Now that's what I'm talking about! That's a pretty good one. You were airborne when you hit him, like a wrestler jumping off the top rope to land an elbow. :ouch:

More likely to be the z8, because german car and track like that same daily with the 997 gt3.

I hope so, but I suspect, like the '86 at Tsukuba, they'll have the 997. Which I'm okay with, because it's fun to drive.

I also must be the only person who would prefer a Griffith 500 to a Speed 6
 
I’ve do t 3 races so far tonight, all race A. Got my 5th CRB in a row on the first one and finished 6th after starting 5/12. The next race I started 4/12 but got bumped and fell back to 8th at the end of the first lap, I managed to get back and finish 3rd though so it wasn’t so bad in the end. The last race I got a mystery 2 second penalty on T1/L1 for reasons I’m not sure why, I don’t even think I made contact with anyone. Considering what happened I thought I did a damm good job of avoiding everyone, I guess the game thought otherwise. I had second locked down but after scrubbing the penalty on the final stretch I ended up finishing third with a red S, down to 91, Grrrr, oh well. Off to race B now I think. :)


The Mystery Penalty.
 
Lol good luck @Pigems. Race B has turned to chaos, at least in the B/S ranks. I'm down to 91 SR as well now, can't avoid everyone. 90% of the room ends with a red rating, multiple demotions to SR.A, it's bad. Hopefully better next race!

I haven’t gone in yet, maybe I’ll change my plan and stick to race A lol, I don’t much like the sounds of that haha. :)

Anyone tried race C yet? What’s that been like?

That penalty is no mystery

You contacted the green car right here. Totally your fault!

That looks a lot like my race B experiences tonight except with fewer cars involved :banghead: I'm calling it a night for GTS, got back to SR 99 through some small miracles. DR is down about 400 points from getting rammed off the road, it's a mess.

I didn’t even realize I hit him lol, guess I should have hung back a little farther, my bad. I’m gonna keep racing A I think, accidents are easier to avoid at slower speeds haha. :)
 
Did a Race B this morning after racing in @Tidgney's open lobby and a walk outside with the Scirocco. Come to the race and the TT that defeated me back when I'm using the Prodrive 86 appeared again, this time sitting in 2nd with his 1:37.680 quali time, and I myself still held on to my 1:37.568 time that allowed me to start on pole, and then pulled away to give myself a 70th Sport Mode win, with 1 Fastest Lap left to complete the Level 3 Fastest Laps achievement and 12 races to go to get my 322 Sport Mode races PSN trophy.

Hmmm I was thinking it might not be good to risk sr in a race that I don’t care much for anyways (b). Looks like it’s time to practice for the mountain!

A hasn’t been bad for the most part tonight, only a couple of incidents. :)

Gave up on B, awful today... but race C has been kind of fun in the B/S lobbies, not too dirty, not too laggy, but alot of Races only had about 12 or 13 survive disconnects to the start.

Saw maybe the dirtiest thing ever in one race though... P1 and P2 side by side on Lap 1 going into to long sweeper last turn where the pit entrance is. Guy on the outside swerved and rammed the other into pit lane intentionally.

Dude was so fast he came out of the pits in last, and up through the entire field and still won in the end.
 
Finally hit a 39 with the WRX. Did one race. Started 3rd and finished 2nd. I ended there on a high note lol. Someone wiped out bad behind me on turn 1 because of no braking.

 
I ended up doing 5 more race A’s, mostly good races too except one where I got spun out on the final corner of lap 5 and finished 10th, the others infinished 3rd, 3rd, 4th and 5th and I got the chance to race with @TTM (I think) for the first time, he’s a fast dude, I got close a couple times but he always ran away in the end. It was a fun night. :)
 
Saw Pigems on Race A earlier. Right behind on the starting grid. Kept up for a bit but got distracted by the traffic.

Intense race. Briefly fell back to last place but I could still see the leader. It was close for most of the race. One of the perks of trailing is you get a great view or cars driving in row.

Good seeing you! We were in that gr2 fuji race on your old account.
So I lost almost 2,000 dr from my ps4 throwing me a CE-47878 or whatever the stupid code was before the race even began.
I’ve mainly just been trying to get my dr back in races a and c. Managed to avoid a dirty driver in race c for a win, then took it to race a. I’m almost to my old amount I had before the disconnect.
