Yeah, I could have been cheap on his outside passes but I do everything I can not to mess up his races. The guy is a pleasure to run with.

Agreed

 

[Stencedaddy]

That’s what I figured, apparently there is a higher percentage of Lefties in Canada. I’m actually right hand dominant, but I play hockey, golf and baseball(batting) LH, I’m even more of a weirdo than most.

i am the exact same. my dad and three of my buddies are lefties though lol.

I saved this replay because I was accused of an illegal overtake at the end of lap 11 (it was illegal btw, I didn't even think about track limits on the straight, my bad!) but thought I would upload it because it was a pretty fun race. The Loctite Honda caused a few incidents but I think that was more incompetence than anything malicious.

Great race! Shame about the mishap on the start of the straight at the end of lap 9. Agreed about the lap 11 overtake however that has happened to me before as well. Lesson i learnt = don't leave a gap He could of moved the car over more to remove the possibility.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I also have raced with uncle a lot. Very clean and respectful, although generally to fast for me to challenge for reals

Does that make him everyone's favorite uncle?

Sounds like it! He is my favorite uncle, even though he may be 23

I haven’t gone in country this week, first in a long time, but when I visited towards @sturk0167 s way as a younger man, it was all about 2 dollar pitchers of PALE ALE at the BEAR, is that place still there?
Had the pool table upstairs?

Race A-I just kinda suck in pretty much any n car over n100.
Race B - might run it, starting to learn track...
Race C lol riiii

Stay thirsty, my friends.

I'll be damned. Yup, the Madison Bear Garden is still there. Awesome bar! I don't think the pitchers are 2 bucks anymore, though. Remember all the weird stuff hanging from the ceiling? I used to go there with my friends, and we'd each get a pitcher with an extra long straw.

 

[El_Beardo]

My 1:30.903.



Should give me a decent grid position for my next few races. Couple of places to improve, ready for when this combo rolls back around in a week or two.

Evening Race A. In the R32. Started 6th. Fast room. Got lucky and finished 3rd.

Beat my qualifying time twice during the race. A few times during the race things could have turned bad but other drivers were careful and smart. Last lap T1 the car in front went a bit wide but instead of swinging back onto the track stayed wide until I cleared. Classy.

Illegal pass? What the hell? No contact. No penalty. Good to go. 👍

@suprajef I like racing with uncletentwenty3. I bet I've raced him 100 times (he's probably beat me 60-70% of the time ). It's almost always at race A, and I don't remember us ever hitting each other. Good dude.

 

[Snaeper]

Did my first Daily Race in awhile.

I haven't had much luck with Gr.2 in the past but figured I know Fuji well enough to not have any surprises.

Accidentally gave a guy a 3 second penalty in the first turn as I lost the rear end and was on my way off the track when he had the misfortune of bumping me.

At the end of the last turn I lost the rear end again and drove headlong into the inside wall, earning myself a 5 second penalty and ruining any chance of even contending with the rear of the field.

Decided to join another fellow (the Polesitter, no less!) in the pits to just wait out the race but put some Hards on and ran the last few laps. With all the DNF's from the event I ended up 11th!

I'll be avoiding Gr.2 until I get my wheel set up

In real life he would have to give the spot back but in sport it is good to go. I assume if it was the live finals he would have to give the spot back

My dang cat just decided to stand in front of the tv during lap 1! C'mon, Son!

I had an 'Updates are ready' message pop up full screen in the middle of the Tokyo race last week - pressed all the buttons on my wheel frantically to try and clear it, before realising that it was a tv software update!

By the time I managed to clear it, I had dropped from 3rd to 8th, and had acquired 10 seconds worth of penalties......

Still managed to finish 4th somehow.

 

[Velhadas]

I actually had a guy last week msg me on psn before the daily race started( not on my friend list) to say the guy ahead of me was going to hold me up and that we need to push him aside; that "we " having been needing to do that to him past few races.

Sure enough, the guy in first got slightly out of shape, the guy in front of me (to be pushed aside) decides to give him time to correct instead of barging past, I ease up to let the situation clean up a bit. The guy who msged me, doesnt slow down, goes almost completely off track to make the pass, pushes me and 2nd place off track in the course of 2 quick corners. Luckily he got a heavy time penalty as a reward. What a tool.

Ah yes. It's like everyone has that stupid Senna gap quote playing on a loop when they're racing. First lap traffic with everyone being careful? Not a problem, let's just power through while bumping everyone.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Ah yes. It's like everyone has that stupid Senna gap quote playing on a loop when they're racing. First lap traffic with everyone being careful? Not a problem, let's just power through while bumping everyone.

That quote comes from an interview with Jackie Stewart who was pushing Senna for answers over deliberately hitting Prost out the race at Suzuka '90. Anybody who uses that quote as justification is actually admitting to being a dirty driver.

Yet another reason my Smart TV will never be online.

Good hahl before the (V8)Supercars race.

Phenomenal brakes in the Megane. The SLS surprised me with its grip. I had to drive it way different than the other FR cars. It's FM layout, makes it damn near too balanced. I was getting my head around how much I could push it and get on the gas earlier.

 

[GernKnudly]

Hey guys!

The wide Fuji circuit with the huge downforce of GR.2 cars is a good combo!
What is more, I started from the last position! It has ended up in a quite eventful race.
Here is it!

 

[Groundfish]

I'll be damned. Yup, the Madison Bear Garden is still there. Awesome bar! I don't think the pitchers are 2 bucks anymore, though. Remember all the weird stuff hanging from the ceiling? I used to go there with my friends, and we'd each get a pitcher with an extra long straw.

Don’t recall the ceiling much, main takeaway from that trip was a. Seeing a guy fly fishing in the creek on the college campus, and b. Pretty much a whole neighborhood shut down one night for a block party and ending up in this huge backyard where they had erected a water slide and they had topless female participants.
My trip was kind of a blur lol. It was awesome though! People were great!

 

[Pigems]

I think I’m gonna try a few race B’s today, I need to get better at that track. The 4C is ready to go, not gonna try the Lambo again lol.

Come on in! So far it's been pretty clean today.

It's still a DR slide though starting from the back. Hard to pass, only 4 laps. I only just broke into the 1:54 laps, it's hard to concentrate at slow speeds!

 

[El_Beardo]

Looks like I've got time to make the 18:00 race at Fuji. Suppose I should put my best ever qualifying time to the test.

How's the '16 NSX over race distance? As mentioned in a previous post, I've only ever raced the two Lexus with tyre wear.

Nice, I’ll be out shortly. I just finished setting up the lobbies for tonights Daily Races, I’m hoping my internet will cooperate better this week, it’s been fine ever since last Sunday and the weather is ok today. I got a livery made for the R32 as well, I’m having a ton of fun with the LE since finding out I don’t have to do everything twice!

Edit: All are Welcome to join us tonight for the Weekly Running of the Daily Races. It’s just for fun and all assists are allowed, it’s 2 runs of each of this weeks Combos. Just send me a friend request if you’re interested in coming out so you’ll be able to see the room. I hope to see some of you guys out there tonight.

4th to 15th.

Mostly due to two laggy bellends, smashing me into kingdom come. Partially because of a spin coming out out of the final turn, on lap 12.

Edit.

Race two was better. First time racing the GTR, start on pole. Finished 2nd, behind the Spaniard who started 2nd. It would have been a win in the RCF. The GTR doesn't feel quite right on fresh tyres.

 

[O604]

1 race A this afternoon in the R32.

Started 2nd. Got a great start and could have taken the lead into T1 but knew P1 was faster because I haven't finished ahead of them all week so slowed down to let them by. Good thing too they ended up winning by 9 seconds. Got passed twice but gained those spots back. Finished 2nd. I've been lucky this week with mostly top 5 finishes.

Happy Star Wars Day. May the (4th) Force be with you.

+ Just did another. P2 again. Same person in front. Not so lucky this time. Cars everywhere. P1 quit. I almost quit. I should have quit. Terrible race.

 

[JoeyLeonine]

For some reason, inexplicable to me, I've fallen a bit in love with Autopolis. Or at least the combo of that with the TT. Never thought I'd ever give thumbs up to a crazy track of neverending corners, or have so much fun in a FWD car.

I have actually really enjoyed this week. I've felt relatively quick and genuinely 'better' than a lot of other drivers in the lobbies, as opposed to sitting here wondering what's the point. I mean, It hasn't got me anywhere due to the mass sabotage every time. My best finish is actually only P8... But it's been fun none-the-less.

Granted, my stats have taken a beating. I'll edit and post some videos at some point so we can all laugh at the penalty system and the general state of driver quality at this end of the spectrum. It's pretty tragic. Don't get me wrong, I'm not fast, but I'm not 'bad'!

Talking of tragedy - I entered the Nations Cup this evening. What an error that was. Not a huge fan of Gr.1, but I hadn't entered either Nat or Man for ages and happened to be ingame at the right time today so thought to myself - "how bad can it be". Qualied P9, thought we could have some fun with that. Cue the carnage. Rescued P14 at the end.

I daren't look at Kudos Prime right now.

 

[jaquelinesv]

better race for fun only and not for kudosprime stats!
Otherwise you will always endup in a meta car.
race B is really bumpy, no overtake analysis, they just slide in front of you, its soo annoyng.

[Pigems]

Tonight’s Race Lobby is up and ready. Action starts at 9:00pm EST, if you can’t make it on time just jump in when you can. Hope to see you all out there tonight, Good Luck!!

Anyone is welcome to join us, just send me a friend request on PSN so you can see/join the room. Good Luck!

 

[05XR8]

Early runs. No secret I love Gr.4.
As for my time in the BMW, the M4 hasn't put a foot wrong. Might switch to BMW. Very strong. I remember when I first raced in Sport Mode, the M4 was the META. Been de-tuned for the longest. Cra feels really good at Autopolis. Interlagos is going to be interesting.
