Spa quali is down to 19.595 in the good old 'Vette. Couple of places where I can make up another six tenths or so. Well, that I can see. After that, I'm going to have to ask the experts*

*that'll be you guys. I know. I'm laughing too.

Lol, I personally run the FAR BETTER Mustang rolfmao (gr3 vette is awesome)

If anyone notices cones you may be in my race, everything I have been doing is tcs3 bb0 all line aids, brake indicator et all.
I have no stopped, but prefer to go all out and splash gas after lap seven. Good enough for what I’m doing. These fast guys on this track...Too fast...

 

[Odiesback]

Thats your problem, not mine. Make up for lost time without hitting other cars, if you can’t do that, then go practice more. I practiced, and was having a good race until you decided to “make up for lost time”, why the 🤬 is your race more important than everyone else’s?

Ok. Chill pill man! I apologized ok?

Sounds like just another day in the office.

Also, one does not simply anger Mr. @Pigems.

Managed to get down to a 2:18.8 this evening in the 911......I expect it to get deleted for the maintenance/update in a few hours......Bugger!

A shame we all suffer as ever, thanks to a few "wheel warriors" who prefer to cheat, than play fair!! I say ban 'em!

 

[Pigems]

Sorry, it just really pissed me off at the time. I only had time for two races tonight and a guy spinning out right in front of me ruined the first one, then you knocking me off almost ruined the 2nd one.

 

[HammyMansell]

I just subbed your channel @Pigems .........Your videos are entertaining!

And yeah, you had more hits than Elvis in that race....Tut tut!

Thanks, like a child, I need visuals and that helped.

Hey @Pigems I can only imagine how mad you get when that birdie putt doesn't fall

I’m good with golf, no one can mess that up for me but myself(that and I never expect a birdie putt to fall ). Hockey on the other hand, now that’s a different story.

Hoping to get faster at RBR, naturally I went to the @Mistah_MCA lap guide, and saw him doing it with a FWD.

Oh yes, I love rolling 911 with their hot shoe alfresco no aids approach. I’ve overtaken so many so far I’ve lost count. I love the sliding, diving late breaking...I love to hate them. Very rare to see a driver skilled enough to take advantage and use the car well.
Last race a guy was running no aids merc, chicane end of lap 1 goosed it..boom sixth to last...
I must be the most annoying driver for handling cars to race...
Like, you ever drive on a country road and some schmuck is slow on the corners then when the straight bit comes it’s foot to the floor?
You know though in all honesty I see so often the handling cars, for most drivers are so easy to gain time on in the slow medium bits. Suzuka, here...
My favorite thing is having a 911 running alfresco catch up and get a little close at the end of a twisty section of track, then BAM they goose it and slide and my stock car starts to get smaller in their view....rofl.
Honestly, I just love having a good time.
Last race I was behind this no stop lambo driver the whole race, I had him lap two under braking, but I didn’t know him, and I didn’t want to get tangled and make a mess, so I bumper rode him, no touch ever, but ended up I made a run at him a few times, but he was good, from Mexico I think, name something edge.
I finally had to conserve fuel last lap and just be happy for third.
It’s all good.

Edit you know the tanks have more grip than one might think...

Finally managed to do some racing tonight even though I only had time for just 2 races at Spa.

I jumped in with a qualy time of 2.22.5 with the RCZ. Was really excited about the first race but it quickly went to 🤬. Penalties for running wide at eau rouge then getting SR down for getting bumped left right and center in just the first 2 laps. On lap 3, I was drafting a 911 on the kemmel straight positioning myself to make a pass at les combes only to have that jerk torpedoed me into oblivion. At first, I was going to let it go because it's not my style to exact revenge on the track. However, when I finally managed to catch up to him after la source, he started slowing down and swerving on the straight leading to eau rouge and that annoyed me just enough that I felt like I had to return the favor. I shamelessly planted that sucker in the wall at eau rouge.....I gotta say, it was so satisfying . I started that race in P16 and finished P18.

Second race was more like what I was looking forward to. Good, clean racing with no knuckleheads around trying to ruin people's race. Started P13 and finished P8 with clean race bonus. Though I really need to get faster. My fastest laps in the races were 2.23s when the leaders were running in the 2.19s. That feels like a massive gap. Anyway, that's it for me tonight. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

What car do you want me to get a time with? 💡

 

[NoStopN]

What car do you want me to get a time with? 💡

I'd like to see it in a car that isn't wrong wheel drive.

 

[sturk0167]

I'm just joking with you. I'm glad to view the guides in whatever car you use.
However, I've hardly had any time to drive there this week. In time trial mode, I think I've done about 2 laps in 4 different cars, and thought the Jaguar was lovely. I expect to be doing some races with it. It would be nice to see what kind of time a pro can get with that F-Type.

Sooo Fiat 500 F Gr. 4?

I'll give it a try this week, as long as it isn't hit with a BOP adjustment.

 

[El_Beardo]

First ever race at Spa went pretty well. The 'Vette is an easy no stop.

Apart from whatever the game thinks is going on here, of course.



Audi taps Beetle, sends Beetle wide. Audi taps me, aaaaand, 2 second penalty. Riiiiight . .

 

[Mistah_MCA]

I took a trip to Spa today with the AMG, just wanting to have a good time. I did, until the last lap. It ended up being terrifyingly intense. I ended up racing against Mr. Lamb, and on the last lap, he was on my booty. Not going to lie, I was starstruck and terrified, so I forgot to take the inside line when entering Pouhon, and he ended up passing me. I almost passed him back before reaching the final hairpins (thanks to fuel saving, which let me go all out at the very end), but he was able to secure the inside line and barely beat me by .4 seconds.

 

[05XR8]

I haven't seen a single Mazda yet...anyone else did encounter this rare breed on Spa?

 

[Granadier]

That final shot is excellent @Mistah_MCA. Nice work!

Had one helluva race tonight in the Porsche (also happened to get into a lobby with Lamb).

Myself, the AMG and the Ford GT battled it out for the majority of the race. The AMG got in front of us and then put up a seriously impressive performance on defense keeping the two of us at bay even while fuel saving. It was basically this gif in racing form for 2 or 3 laps.

Check out the video if you'd like to see the action yourself.

Git gud!

Yeh, awsome.... Fixed Or Repaired Daily.... Found On Rubbish Dumps... Like I said....awesome .

Managed to get down to a 2:18.8 this evening in the 911......I expect it to get deleted for the maintenance/update in a few hours......Bugger!

The great thing about setting a low qualifying time, is you don't worry about it going by by . (like I really care if my 2:25 gets wiped out? )

 

[The_Tullster]

I saw one today in a mixed DR A+ to E race. He was in the back third of the field, sketchy driver but polite about it. Apologised to me for being in the same part of the lap as me, nearest he got was when I passed him while he was sideways on the grass on the right between Campus & Stavelot.

 

[El_Beardo]

Git gud!

Dropped to 2:19.345. I am now "good" . . Still approximately 1 second to lose before I am gud.

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Sorry, it just really pissed me off at the time. I only had time for two races tonight and a guy spinning out right in front of me ruined the first one, then you knocking me off almost ruined the 2nd one.

It's the risk when racing from the back. Getting punted off is a given, I only notice it nowadays when I get to complete a race without getting bumped off the track. Something was missing

But it pisses me off as well when the penalty system gets it wrong. And sometimes I retaliate with a well time brake check.

Maybe not so well timed, bad place too. That will teach him, err me, karma

Close save to keep the CRB. Do not hit the inside kerb :/

Two wheels on the kerbs still counts.

Server is down, 159 MB patch, copying 1%...

No point asking me, I'm still over 2:22

That was me four laps out of eight today

Server is down, patch unknown?

Presumably it's to insert some sort of fix for the bus stop chicane exploit @ Spa, with a possibility raised that the kludge to get rain conditions at all tracks may also receive attention.

Edit: Spa - comments deleted. Track is different offline to online. See @Mistah_MCA image below for Daily Races version.
On the rain thing, don't know how it's done so I haven't tested.

 

[Invisigoth]

Welp.. looks like times are still there. They "fixed" the rain, but no mention of Spa cheats .
