"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[Sven Jurgens]

That is awesome. Races like that are the best. Even if you end up on the loosing end of those battles, it's still more fun than most IMHO.
I did not, and would not target anyone, but there are videos showing some of what I said. As for passing at Suzuka, @Sven Jurgens covered most of them, but one other that I've used more than you might think is the straight before Degner's. Many people carry too much speed out of the final right in the esses, and don't get a good line out of the last left of the esses. Granted, this happens more when coming through the field when running from the back, but when they do that, they run way out to the curb and I get inside and make the pass. It can be tough since they will have the inside into Degner's, But I often have enough speed to get by and make the corner. I also get by alot of people in that last right in the esses when people run wide coming out. Again, these spots are mainly good for slower drivers, or when mistakes are made.

I also like this spot to overtake, also a bit risky since they usually over correct or block but plenty people go a bit to wide out of T2.

Last race was messy. You can call it confirmation bias, yet the more laggy south americans, the messier it gets. The penalty system half worked at least, pulling some of the more aggressive drivers back. I managed an 8th place from 20th, my favorite start position, avoiding most of the drama along the way except one lap where I got caught in between a couple cars fighting to the chicane. It was only beneficial as they took each other out while I managed to keep it on the track. Keep it steady!

Time to go for me, back later tonight.

@Pigems doh just missed you! Darn MpsServer.

After a long long long week and tried so much: Win!!!! First time on Tokyo!

 

[Pigems]

Lobby loaded for the next next race, starting 5th, sit down to get ready and the power goes out. It came right back on, but what terrible timing to flicker.

 

[stpatty]

I think if my experience driving the Super Formula cars at Suzuka and Autopolis has taught me anything, it's that they're best enjoyed on narrow tracks with no run-off area and lots of mid-speed corners.

 

[sturk0167]

Anybody wanna do race A? No friends.

 

[JohnEB]

Ill just drop this here. I really hope that this is the car for this track next week. Never really liked the hatch too much, like ok track before.
Just love it with the sf19... optimum was 1.08.xxx

I’m with you! Will be a good laugh to see people stack up 5 wide lol.

 

[dlshearon]

Race A is a lot of fun, IMO the only race this week that is fun.

 

[05XR8]

Wait, wait... did I call those tracks for next week?!

Nope. Just Brands HAtch. Oh well. Good enough. I did suggest Red Bull Ring for this week though.

 

[watto79]

I have enjoyed the races this week, despite my DR taking a pounding. That's even with 'not bad' qualifying times. Did a couple of Race B's this evening that kinda sum up my week.
First go.

Second go.

Literally

 

[05XR8]

Brands Hatch in an SF19 or P1GTR? Seriously better not be a 250 GTO or the DB3.

 

[Winnie847]

I’ll be jumping in some Race C’s with no qualy on my alternate account, hopefully I don’t accidentally cross the finish line in warmup

 

[Mistah_MCA]

I was doing some races there earlier today.

... and at 2AM. I need to fix my sleep schedule.

@05XR8 I am going to laugh and cry if the Gr. X race is with the BMW i3 or the racing kart.

I hope to see you out there!

That’s what happen to me this week, that’s why I’m using my original/3rd account lol.


I’m pretty proud of this one, this was a pretty quick room.

Edit: @Winnie847 I’m signed up for the next race(19:30) to start at the back, you racing yet?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Are Turismo_jara /mamajara/ jaraTheoriginal all the same kid?

 

[Winnie847]

@Pigems yeah I’m in, just finished one. 18th to 9th, tough crowd and I didn’t pit when I should have. See you in a minute.

That’s was a great race! Sucks that you got spun out though, I was finally gaining a little ground on you I think. Hopefully the next will be better, great finish though considering what happened.

Edit: Oh, this was my 1,500th post, cool.

Are Turismo_jara /mamajara/ jaraTheoriginal all the same kid?

I asked him and he said he wasn’t Turismo Jara, but he was A+. How many A+ Jaras’ Can there be?

 

[GTWolverine]

Nice selection of races there. Looking forward to next week 👍

I do hope race C is the SF. Hopefully with the option to use Honda or Toyota this time.

It's probably gonna be just the Toyota SF variant, since the Honda got the last "Daily" race all to itself. I actually hope it's not the SF, because I like the car but don't like the Brands Hatch GP circuit. I'd hate to have to sit out a week with one of my favorite cars just because I have a hard time getting around the track they've chosen for it.

 

[Pigems]

@Winnie847 Great race man, I got dumped by a guy who couldn’t accept that he’d messed up and been passed. There wasn’t much sense in continuing after that. Well done man!

I’m back to running with a Q time now as my sons home from work and wanting to play him PS4 lol. Maybe I’ll get lucky and win one.

I like the track and car but not sure on the combo. Good luck!

After seeing it almost 1500 times I gotta ask, whats pigems mean? Feel free to not answer.

 

[05XR8]

I've been figuring out what's slow enough for only 2 laps around the Inner Loop. Beetle again?

It’s just an old high school nickname that kinda stuck over the years(I’m almost 35 now lol). All I can remember is that started at my place one night over a spaghetti fight and something to do with Chief Wiggum.

But it works great for screen names because no one ever has it.

Edit: Nuts, missed the next race.

-2 Canadians (I'm assuming the black flags are Canadians, here) and +4 Mexicans and that would've been a hell of an interesting 4v4v4v4v4 National showdown between the five biggest countries in North and South*** America.

I know SPAthing aboot That.

That woulda been cool.

 

[SpaceMaN47y0]

Ha nice. Mine is from a movie when I was 13-14, Sunset Park. Kid had an afro and smoked weed all the time, as did I back then. Its been 25 years and people still call me SpaceMaN once in a while.

Edit to be on topic a little: Man am I botching almost every lap lately. Maybe a new livery will help.

 

[Winnie847]

Great race to you too until your incident. I finished 6th in that one, gained 13 positions. Pretty fun. Taking a break for food and family, but I’ll be playing late tonight and a lot of tomorrow. Most likely only practicing for FIA though. Maybe a few more Race C’s though, we’ll see.

 

[Pigems]

I pulled an accidental no stop on mediums that race lol, by the time I realized it was lap 5 and everyone else had pitted it was too late so I said screw it and kept on truckin. I got lucky!

Next one was a fun race too, @Sven Jurgens made it all the way to 6th I believe it was, great job man!! I had a great battle with the Mototoyobama guy, he was on my @$$ all race until we got bumped in the final chicane but a Brazilian fellow. I thought it was my fault until afterwards. Oh well, great race none the less. And I remembered to stop for tires this time! 👍

Edit: we lost Sven between the lobby and warm up in the next one!

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Great race indeed, from last to 6th. Finally an all clean race (still no bonus, SR Down for unintentional lag contact from behind). So much fun when there is respect all around. Of course followed by this screen.

I guess the fun detector went off at PD, randomly selected for fun prevention measures.

Good luck @Pigems. Time to walk the dog.

That sucks that you got disconnected! You missed a good one, I chased a guy all race only to finally catch him in the final corner because he got tangled up with another guy, I was gifted a 2nd place finish for their troubles though.
