Just managed a good run too but i'm shocked that the fastest worldwide lap is 26.5! It doesn't add up, even the usual road car aliens like TRL_holl01, TRL_Adam18 and Sirvia are a second behind, wondering if there's a secret or some kind of cutting involved

Yeah he certainly found a nice shortcut to get that 1'26 :lol: I would love to see the lap if any of the guys in that region can record and post I will be very grateful :D

:cheers:

Btw.. great laptime Matt 1'27.6 is wicked fast :bowdown:
 
After a disastrous A and B last week for me... Should of done Race C more, I'm more at home with Race A this week! About to do my first race, Quali's alright on a 1:28.950 after a few practice laps
 
Didn't @sturk0167 say he tried that once (in the gr.4s) and actually got away with it?
Yeah, that was about a month ago, when the track was first introduced. I did it a few times and got some different amounts of penalty time. I got 0.5 once. I think the key is to go off the track sooner than Pigems did in his demonstration, and be completely off the gas when you do, so the game thinks that maybe you just lost control. It's kinda like at Tokyo, when you hit a wall when you're off the gas, the penalty is less than if you hit it at full throttle.

I haven't tried it since then. I don't know if it's still the same.

Was on pole, got nudged into the grass at st Mary's by the guy attached, down to 5th, caught back up to him and got the drive out the chicane on the last lap to get him and take 3rd, he had a 5sec penalty from another incident and as I came onto his left he turned into me, I had the black walls to keep me straight and he spun it :lol:

Please PD! Put the Save Replay button where I can see it even if I'm full of adrenaline :( ! There goes my four "perfect" lap on the lead :( .

First Daily B try.
5 practice lap. Started 3rd place, the leaders overshot the first corner =>four clean lap, my second victory... and exit without saving the replay :banghead::(. I saved all of my races, even the worst ones, but not this...
I wasn't the fastest, the best lap was almost 3 seconds(!) faster than my best, but I was in the right place at the right time.

Race A is maybe my friend this week for the first time perhaps all year. The Clio is easy to handle, so it's more about finding speed than trying not to lose it (yes Supra GR 19 Road Car I'm looking at you). It was also easy to stay clean even when other racers were packed in as the brakes work well for the speed the car ends up at. For a very hot hatch it feels very sensible really.
 
Polyphony should occasionally allow communities to select daily races for a specific week so that the fanbase is more inclined to participate. I must say that, despite being fortunate enough to race in the top splits in the FIA championships, it becomes stale and repetitive. Even if it's from a Twitter poll with 4 possibilities, it's better than recycled material and unwanted combinations.
 
Thanks man, think I sold my RX500 but ill only need one gr1 at tokyo to get it back, probably worth the investment. Use that as my main moneymaker but... You know, sometimes i don't wanna turn right.
I've got probably about $30-$35 million to spend. Here's how you do it; First of all do a lot of racing. Any day you ever turn the game on, make sure you at least do your 26.2 miles for the free car. Even if it's a duplicate, that's good, if it's a duplicate of something that you paid for. That way, you could always sell the one you paid for, and still have the gift car. Only delete duplicates of gift cars.

Also, when your credits get up to, or close to $20 million, go buy an expensive car, even if you already own one. Otherwise, you'll get no prize money when you hit the 20M, and it's wasted. You'll only be able to sell your cars for 30 cents on the dollar, but it's car equity, and the only way to raise you net worth over the $20 million max.

How do you get to $20 million? Hold off on buying super expensive cars like the Miura, that are cool, but useless for Sport mode. Your return on investment will be almost zero.

*You should buy whatever cars you want to. This is just a method for stockpiling money/credits.

*And by the way, I don't understand why there's a cap of 20M, or any number. :odd:

Cheers for the tips man, I've been suckered in by a few cars I consider necessary - anything with rally pedigree, Ferrari GTO, McLaren P1 GTR, Huayra, you know, sensible purchases. Was planning to aim for the 20m unicorn next but new Red Bull says otherwise... I still dont even have the standard :'(

Easily double figures in GT by Citroens, though. Never get too invested in RNG but seeing it in the wheel I just accept I'm gonna get it.
 
Race a
Not been on for a few weeks and not tried out this track. Loved the clio from older games though. 3 races 2 wins.
Nearly back at Bdr now after a recent reset (penalty system rant) hopefully not too long now. Thought it was going to be an sr killer but I think nobody wants to go to the shadow realm here so it’s a little more polite.

Crackin car this clio :cheers:



Will try again tomorrow there's more to collect ;)


Sick lap, I've just got down to 1.28.3 on pad.
Pity about the short cutter, do PD ever clean these times out?
 
It had to happen...12 days in DR C cruising at 5-6,000 points and then I entered race A at Goodwood.
I'd clocked a 1:30.579 Q lap which put me towards the front of the grid, sometimes pole!
Then some child kissed me in the chicane....2 sec. penalty, which dropped me back into mid placings.
All OK right up until the last corner before the chicane on the last lap when I was pushed wide. I kept my foot in and rejoined the track just as (s)he spun at the chicane, taking out me and two others.
I get a 6 sec. penalty, last place, SR down to E (from C) aannnd reset to DR D. Tadaaah!

Hey, YoBuck, which alternative universe are you racing in?

Prospective race A after catching @Pigems live earlier... No time for a lap


I feel quick, boys. Dodged the chaos like slow mo fast and the furious highway business. Actually saved the replay of this one as it went so smoothly. Not a french car nut but a mad Renault hatchback? Different story.
 
So, the X2019 costs 3 million credits.

I have Cr. 3000997.

Should I do it? :lol: Is Race C worth it?

I doubt it's worth it. But then again, what else are you gonna spend them on? And its not like you won't make them back again!

It's not for me anyway. I stick to pootling around Suzuka. I thought I was going to be quickish around it this week but so far I can only muster up a 2.04.7xxx. I was kinda happy until I saw sub 58s on the leaderboard. I'm good through sectors 1 and 2. But I can't pick Spoon. Had that trouble two weeks ago in the Gr.4s too. Just can't seem to get around it quickly.

There's 2 seconds between there and through the Casio Triangle. Just gotta find it... And then piece it all together... First step is to get under 4. Then we can see if we can go sub 3. If I can get a 2.02.xxx this week I'll be delighted..

Maybe I'll join the Clio revolution around the Wood. Looks fun and fitting. Of course, Custom Liveries would have made it a great 'cup' spectacle. Almost. Almost.
 
I am really not a fan of the Red Bull cars. They have the high speed/high downforce of the SF19 without any of the difficulty. I don't mind driving the car necessarily, but the low skill requirement means complete idiots are that much more likely to murder you. I got spun twice in the first three laps and my rear tyres had lost 100% of their grip. I had to limp almost an entire lap back to the pits. As much as I want to acclimate myself to the new track I might just stick to Daily Race B, I've only done two races and it just doesn't seem worth the frustration.
 
Enjoying race A. The short wheel base and mid engine layout make that car fun to drive. I set my qually lap with ABS off, but switched it back to weak for the race just in case I get caught out.
I saw a real v6 Clio the other day, it was coming out of the industrial estate where I work. The rear wheels look massive!!!!
 
Why are there no tracks from the U.S. in the game does anyone know??

Willow Springs is in Southern California. But there are a few more U.S. tracks that should be in the game. The one I want the most is Laguna Seca.

About a year ago I suggested we might be getting Daytona in one of the updates. Someone posted a reply saying it was highly unlikely due to the fact that Forza has the IMSA license. I don't know this for fact because I've never owned an Xbox or played Forza. But it could be true since we haven't gotten any of the tracks that IMSA runs on. It's a shame because we have a lot of great tracks in the US. Hopefully they will be included in the next GT.

I did some hotlapping in the time trials last night in preparation for Race C. It appears I've got some time to make up as my 1:26 is about 3 secs off the leaderboard. I don't typically use TC when racing, but may give it a try if I can't improve in qualifying. Also I noticed that Race C is a grid start so is TC1 enough to get traction at the start? I will be driving my X2019 Chevy Competizioni that is fresh from the paint shop. :D
