Suzuka....yet again. Shocked.
I’ve got the Honda down to a 1:11.8 so far, I lost at least 2 tenths in the final corner though according to my next couple of laps, but it’s only Monday so it’s a good start. Good for #9 in NA for a few minutes, only #4 on my friends list though.
Great Laps @Mistah_MCA and @QC YALUM
Tokyo is usually good to me, and GR2 is always fun. Maybe I learned something at Suzuka in the SF19.
That's weird. I can't say that I know anyone irl that has any interest in online racing.
I'm always overly careful when following a GTP friend on the track. Likewise, I'm completely comfortable when they're following me. My only worry is trying not to look like a loser in front of someone who knows me. But it does happen.
Well earlier today it took me way longer than it should have done to break into the 1'46s at Suzuka. Then later on my GTP account I tried to race from the back a couple of times and that didn't go well either, far too many unpredictable or just down right dirty drivers, how I wish the Gr2 cars had the "overtake" button as well. Hard to know what sort of times you need in race too, what with all that extra fuel you don't need.
At least the rest of the week has to be better than today.
You have some fast friends there! Hopefully, this week, I'll be one of them.
It's Monday, to be expected. An overtake button won't help as it will be as much used as a block button. 4 out of 5 times using the overtake button to overtake in the SF19 resulted in a boost drag race to the next corner and then hope they don't take you out with them
Ok this fair burned through the overtake button and didn't always work but it was better than the bashing I took today. The grid start helped a little too of course due to the chaos, the field is so spread out with this rolling start and not enough cars just fall off the track. 
Sometimes, however if you can get a better exit and then get on the button quickly enough they only use it when they notice you are closing fast and by then it was too late as I was going way quicker.
@sdi_03 You've got to drive faster and maybe more recklessly, going slow in GT Sport just gives less grip or it certainly seems like it anyway, when I'm slowed down by slower drivers it feels like ice driving sometimes yet going seconds a lap faster doesn't feel too bad, well until you crash. y

I have tryed that, it ends off track always. Always leads to understeering off the track.
Ah, finally got to finish my first race on Tokyo, not timed out. My lap times are down to 1:21 now I don't have to be paranoid anymore that any tap from behind means penalty zone stoppage.
Although beware, and the schools aren't even out yet.
It's Suzuka. That track is always slippery.
Sometimes it worked, yet most of the time as soon as they suspected a better corner exit that boost light at the back came on. Plus on the straights, even starting a bit late left enough time for the other car to keep a nose next to you or put it back next to you after you pass with the combined draft.
However stick behind them long enough to wear out their boost while using their draft to keep up and eventually they will run out!

Probably not. Can't say I've ever been able to have an actual conversation about online racing with anyone. About a year ago, I convinced 2 of my co-workers to buy the game. Since then, I don't think either of them has spent more 2 total hours playing it.
