Cheers dude. The 86 and -3.

I moved to +3 from +2 and improved slightly earlier on. I noticed better rotation at the top of the hill. Didn’t think to go minus BB for this car. I’ll try it tomorrow. Thanks.
 
Nothing goes right for me at Lago Maggiore. I tried being smart by saving fuel (still ended up running out at the final corner) and just taking tyres at the pits, and get spun out exiting T2. Of course the car doesn't reset and it has the turning radius of the goddamn Bismarck, costing me at least 10 seconds and sentencing my ears to The Dirge.

Go-karts are a showcase of what's wrong with GTS's collision physics.

So I tried your crazy brake balance settings and got to a 17.175 that put me in this lobby .... with a flipping real life race driver starting in P5. Fought my way up for the hardest 10th place I've ever had. Actually need a break after that one!

A mixed bag of an evening at Big Willy in DR/C.

I did 6 races in total today. Normally I only do 3 a night, but whilst the first 2 went well the following 3 were atrocious and I wanted to finish on a high!

P9 > P6
P6 > P3
P6 > P12 via P5
P10 > P10 via P7
P9 > P14 via P4
P6 > P4

I'll let you surmise for yourselves which races included a crap load of argy bargy.

All in all we finished +300 DR and -9 SR... A fair return all said and done!
 
Started 5th in the first race, guy in 4th goes off the outside on T1 all on his own, then me and a Megane had it out for a couple of laps before I finally got around him, props to him for the clean race, he had a few chances where he could have just bumped me off/out of his way and didn’t. It was a fun race and I made up 2 sports to finish 3rd by the end. :)

Got around 600DR Bucks from that one, up to 45,440 now. There was lots of A’s and A+’s in that race to get points from. :)

There is something weird about it at the works for me. When i try +ve BB, as soon as i let off the brake the car understeers, it doesn't when it's -ve. Nice time dude!

Yea that's the lobby i've been in. Miguel has basically got pole/win/pole/win/pole/win all night. I beat David twice tonight, but only because he went off track. Still.... i'll take it!

Got almost 700DR Bucks from that one, up to 45,440 now. There was lots of A’s and A+’s in that race to get points from. :)

in the FF Audi... You're a friggin' alien, dude. Good luck on the DR farm, i'm sure you can get it done.


Meanwhile... 61gb out of 89.8 downloaded, so I expect GTS to be ready come tomorrow morning. A day of racing lost, but a day of rediscovering Mount and Blade gained...

life is swings and roundabouts.

Thanks man, I’m no Alien though. :lol: I dunno what it is about the Audi, but it’s what I’m Fastest in. I hope you’re back up and racing soon! :cheers:

I don't want to change my Q time.

Buuuuut, my optimal was quarter of a second faster. Decisions, decisions . .

Can't get within 1 second of my qualifying times. Crashing so much. Zero race confidence today.

Mostly due to jumping around in cars. Too many choices today. :lol:

The optimal time is a right b*tch. When you think you've got a good time that you struggle to actually get near again but somehow your supposedly able to go half a second quicker!? Yeah, right!

I'm still on a 18.513 for Willow from Monday. The closest I've got to that was tonight between races where I managed a 18.563... But apparently there's a 17.9xx there somewhere.

It wont happen, instead I do have my sights set on @Leftcurl 's 18.4xx ;)

I am loving the F-Type this week. But maybe it's time to break my own 'settle for one car' rule and try something TT shaped...

I accidentally pushed somebody wide onto the grass during the second to last corner on lap3 for Race A and the guy was still catching me, he overtook me on lap 4 and I managed regain the lead on lap 5 and win.

It’s buggy as hell, it’s like there’s some hacked players with rockets attached, they fly all over the place and come off the circuit, then magically get transported in front of everybody, wtf.
It seems as if there’s too much lag for any given player, it just decides to randomly replace them anywhere on the track, you hit them like your being test braked and loose all your DR
 
Another one towards my "50% top five finishes" target.

That thing is a little tricky to keep under control, on ten lap old, soft tyres.

I'm not even sure where the 38 flat came from, never mind the optimal. Didn't feel like I was pushing, didn't feel loose anywhere. Just an instant 0.6s improvement from last night.

I'm not complaining, obviously. It just came out of nowhere.
 
When I first tried the kart, I thought there was no way it was going to be one for farming K' Speed Score, but now I'm down to 55.899, so it's looking great for my speed score! Tried a few races, but the driving standard was absolute garbage with some well rehearsed "touch and carefully drive off the track" practitioners as well as people who seemed to feel that "leaving them space on the inside" means you drive right around the very outer perimeter of the track, leaving them about 90% of the track width to wallow about in.

Edit: 55.737 now on another account, 29th in EMEA! I think there must not be that many people who have worked out the "knack" of how to drive it.

For a little extra challenge, I've got an 18.2xx at Willow.

My first race B of the week, qualify at 1:20:13, start as p14, finished as p11, even though I went off once.
Love the Mustang here, fun all the way

Tried to better my Q time with the 'Stang. The best I could do is a half second off my best time in the Viper. I got both the TT & Corvette within a tenth, but the TT feels weird driving it after so many RWD cars.
