I decided to look up my profile on Kudos Prime since everyone here likes to do that:

Consistency seems to be strong here recently.:)
 
Plenty of races done this week! I love the Ring, such a nice track, just wish the fuel wasn't such a huge factor because it makes some cars not competitive at all when you have to shift before the bar even lights up. The Lexus was my best car by a long mile, stable and very good on fuel, as always. I don't know though if I'm overthinking but sometimes I feel like grip is... Random. I know the circuit is full of bumps and so, but the car sometimes just doesn't want to do what it always does. Anyway, just had an amazing race finish, shame there was a disconnect right on the line. The guy on the Citroen was doing some low 8:17s in a few races I was in.

Just got my 6th win this week at Suzuka, all in SR99 lobbies. Here’s the first lap of the latest, with a double-overtake at the end.

I’m entered into the next one too, let’s race :)

Hey, someone else with a Genesis. :D

I laugh when I join a lobby and like half the cars are RC F's... :lol:
 
Wow...this jok...I mean penalty system 🤬 I’ve been doing race C back to back for 2-3 hours, and...wow 🤬

I’ve only qualified top 10 once, and mostly 15 and below. All top 10 finishes though, mainly because of idiots and an idiotic penaltysystem.

In one race, I got a big run on the car in front, going from the twisty first section of Nordschleife towards Flugplatz. As I’m alongside him, he turns right 2-3 times, giving me SR down 🤬 I still get past him, only to see him t-bone the next one that would’ve past him. But because of the t-bone, the other car ended up at the finish line of Catalunya. The idiot did receive a penalty 👍 A whole 1 second of penalty for basically killing an opponent 👎
Later in the lap, I managed to 🤬 myself hard. On my own. ~5 seconds to the car in front, and about the same to the car behind, I 🤬 up and smash the throttle too hard, spinning out and hitting the wall and as a free bonus on behalf of the 🤬🤬🤬🤬 of PD, I receive a 5 second penalty!🤬🤬 No one else was even close to be affected. Except for the one that got a free pass on me.

Like I’ve said before; when the game gets it right, it’s awesome. But when it doesn’t, I want to do illegal things to Kaz and the ones responsible for this joke of a penalty system.

But what can you expect from a company that has a CEO (or whatever the 🤬 he is) that can’t even understand a simple language as English??:banghead:

I’m so tempted to tank my SR/DR just to be able to get some wins, but at the same time, I kind of like my Dr B/SR S/A:censored:
 
Tonight’s race lobby is now up for anyone wanting to join us, just shoot me a friend request on PSN so you can get in. All are welcome. :cheers:

I've been racing at Suzuka with the M4, it's actually not too terrible. I've driven it enough now to understand its stupid understeer around the track. The TTs seems to just pull away from it even when I'm in their slipstream but otherwise, it's quite a stable car. Everyone else seem to be using the RC F, I'd like to give it a try to see what the hype is all about but I'm using my new account and I don't want to buy it :p
 
How do you report dirty drivers in GTS?? I finished a race at Suzuka earlier and the racer who started on pole made a mistake on lap 1 and dropped down to P5...I was P7 and literally watched that guy pushed everybody out of the way. He finally got a 3 sec penalty after the guy ahead of me tried to make a pass on him at turn 1 and he shoved him off the track. I passed him as he was serving his penalty. I led the race for 2 laps then on the last lap, he managed to push his way back up and caught up with me as I missed my breaking point before the long straight leading to 130R, he stayed behind as we take 130R. Since he was on my rear bumper, I had a feeling he was going to dive on the inside at the casio triangle so I put my car on the inside and wouldn't you know, I got pit-maneuvered me into the tire barriers :banghead:

On another note, for a RWD car, the level of understeer in that M4 is otherworldly :irked:

I had a lot of great races at Suzuka this week with some great drivers. Bagged 9 wins and a large pile of podiums, but some of the funnest battles I had were the ones I lost.

Check out this clip of me chasing @BradESPN for a couple laps. He had a killer qualy time and started a couple positions ahead of me. I got past one guy and Brad served a penalty which closed the gap between us. Close, clean racing right till the end

Best of 2:10.201 at Suzuka, in the NSX. After something like 100 laps.

7 laps in the Lexus, and we're at 2:09.828, with an optimal of 2:09.581.

If you can't beat them, join them.

I started using the McLaren after watching one of Kie’s YouTube vids. I did 100+ laps in it to get my sub 2.10 time. Pretty consistent in low 10s now. I found a bunch of time at Spoon when hot lapping yesterday.

I tried the Lexus for a handful of laps to see what the fuss was about, but by then I’d got used to the handling of the McLaren. It did feel quick, so can see why it as popular.

I am currently streaming last to first challenges for Race A. I plan on doing three or so races.

That's some really bad driving there... I don't think you missed a single driver out whilst punting your way up to first place, If the purpose of the video is to show how to smash your way into a win? then its an excellent demonstration! Congrats 👍

I'm not necessarily trying to wreck people but if they are being purposely slow and or dirty around me, I have no problem doing the same to them on my alternate account.

Edit: Clean race bonus for the the last two races, by default I will always try to be clean but with the fields varying race by race it is hard to be consistent.

Anybody having connection issues in the Americas? Can't get a full race in. Either disconnect at the warm up screen, or mid race 1st lap. I've restarted the game several times too.

It looked very much to me like a room full of D ranked drivers who just aren't very good, I don't think I saw a single other guy out there who could take a corner without hitting the wall.
Given how good you actually are I don't understand why you even want to race in a lobby like that.

Edit- a couple of clean races to finish up at least 👍

It's a lot more fun than racing on my main account nowadays. It is also fun so see how various other drivers race on different Driver and Sportsmanship Rating levels. I have been as low as D/E and as high as A/S on that account while doing last to first challenges so it always makes for a unique field of players.

If you are a good driver and using an alt account to pass a bunch of d drivers just having fun imo you should not ever touch them.
Hitting lower level players just to pass is mocking them.
It’s akin to clubbing baby seals imo.
I really cannot stand the whole alt account idea.
Whoops I ruined five guys races just now, oh well it doesn’t matter TO ME since it’s just my I don’t care account...
WHAT ABOUT THEM?
That’s the essence of being a gamer.
The gamer cares only about points ratings and achievements and not about how those are achieved.

If I really cared about achievements, I would qualify. I cared about achievments long enough on my main account to win over 340 races, make multiple Top 24 Superstars races, race some of the greatest drivers on Earth and even win the Manufacturer Cup for Dodge one round in early 2018.
Throughout all that time I always tried my best to race fair with those around me and get out of the way of those obviously faster than me working to make FIA events. I have said without hesitation though, I will race anyone eye for an eye whether the individual likes it or not because being clear about intentions will ultimately benefit the majority.
Also trying my best to benefit the majority, I have shared tunes and tips on GTPlanet since 2013 (I really appreciate y'alls continued support through the good and bad :gtpflag:.) And on my YouTube channel since 2015 as well as videos for entertainment like Specialtatin'.
I'm not going to deny, many things I have done through the years have been controversial to some but I will always showcase what I believe to be best for the GTPlanet community, my YouTube channel and Team Mopar alike.
Doing the last to first challenges is more fun for me than racing on my main account, showcases many other drivers that may or may not be seen by the community on their own, is quite popular on my YouTube channel and make for clips that can be used in future videos. To me continuing last to first challenges seems to be a win all around.

I am always open to any form of criticism, but ultimately I will always do what is preferred by the overwhelmingly supportive GTP community, my 160 subscribers on YouTube and the many more members on Team Mopar :cheers:.
 
I should've left well enough alone! Tried to jump in 2 more times....DC's again, and again :banghead:. Oh yeah, and to add insult to injury, I knocked like 3 seconds off my QT in the Genesis good enough for like 5th on the grid. @Sven Jurgens guess who's starting in 3rd :sick:? Go on, you can do it....just guess....yuuuuuup! Your good friend Mr. Dirty Driver himself! :mad: And, you guys were right he's a dirty 🤬 🤬!

Oh no... beating them is definitely the preferred option :sly:. *starts sharpening the nails on the baseball bat*....

Was too disappointed to even crappy report last night. Started P12, finished P12 after being smacked around, gaining 50 DR and loosing 7 SR. Tried to get back some SR from Suzuka. Lost 2k DR (Luuuucy, I'm hoooooooome), and lost another 4 SR from impatient people who would rather just knock you aside than wait a few corners for a clean pass. N24 had a detrimental effect to my Suzuka.... I was still driving in fuel saving mode :banghead:.

Another day above DR 1 :rolleyes:.
