Thanks for the info, cant wait to go back home What tyres are avaliable? Kudos says hards are mandatory.

Only RH. No pit stop. Tyres and fuel last all race. Use your Overtake. Just save enough for a full lap in the last lap.

Punted that car in 8th. It made a dive pass, a la Shame VanGisbergen. That was okay, but then kept blocking and crowding me to the line of each corner. We were up to 8th or something. Final straw was crowding me at the end of the straight when I got a run. Off you go!

After that, players gave room when I was battling for 6th, 5th and 4th. Respect.

I was just in the same race as @05XR8 then, only just got edged out by the guy in 14th because I botched the last chicane and I still need to get used to how the Super Formulas drive.

Aaand i just had a go at race B in the wrong car. Time for the SR to fall. Seems to be an Evo party at BMB.

What BB works well with SF19? Can't seem to find consistency on a pad.

When a player edged me off after the straight, I thought you were gone. I think another player had the McLaren livery. When I caught up, looked like you were 5th(?).

Well, I think this week's races need to be done in cycles. Not back to back one race. Just did B(video loading). Now, going to do Race A. I'll do it like that: C, B, A. Repeat.

@Redneckchef I'm using the Atenza. Great braking and handling.

Use your Overtake

You mean right pedal, yes?

I surely will, noticed that many players at Nations Cup in saturday dont use it.

My stupid butt took out the citroen. Stable, doesnt move much when hit by other cars. Big battle tank but unfortunately needed to move BB to rear for a bit better turning. Was having to brake a hit too early when surrounded by lancers

Dang. I have the Honda but it's only the Toyota? Have to buy that and skin it then...

I'm REALLY happy that it's the SF but why can't they use both cars? They literally just did it on Saturday for the Nations race! Oh PD, I have to laugh at your weird ways.

Which is the overtake button?

05XR8 · Mar 9, 2020

Go to your controller settings. Go to bottom right for the L3 button assignment. Scroll in the menu for "Overtake" it gives you more boost to pass and defend from being passed.

Go to options menu and controller settings and then choose the one you feel most comfortable to use

If youre using DS4 I recommend R1(if throttle is under x, if not I dont know which button is comfortable to use) on the wheel R2.
One thing I forgot, it only works during the race, so dont worry if it doesnt in doing your Q time

05XR8 · Mar 9, 2020

No qualy again. Last to 3rd. Patience patience patience.

While everyone are coming to grips with the SF19 and how late to brake and use of the magic button, patience is the key.

They probably want to avoid a Toyota vs. Honda Duel. One of them would be the loser of the week and they would p... off one of their supporting manufacturers.

I wonder how pissed off Toyota and Honda are, that a Peugeot was wiping the floor with them at Monza...

The Nations race on Saturday allowed both the Honda and Toyota.

How do you use the overtake?
I'm on a controller.

Some Toyota liveries for those that want them:

Going into controller settings and map a button for it.

Edit: What’s the car for Race A?

500 1.2 8V.

Had an okay race. Started 10/11, finished 4th. Seems like 4th gear pulls, at a couple corners, help maintain speed. Peglegging around the corners loses too much momentum.

timekiller001 · Mar 9, 2020

Daily race C is a brave decision by PD. Super formula cars with a standing start into turn 1 at Spa... Prepare to get murdered there...

I sure hope it's the F1500T... Or I wasted some time in the livery editor.

Yep, wasted time. But at least I could use the livery as a inspiration.
Now I have a SF Toyota in 76 livery.

That looked about as chaotic as I was expecting. How are some people finding driving around an oval so difficult :lol:

Yeah, I'm learning from previous lessons, let all T1 carnage play out. Then, walk on by.

I like the wide line and undercut defence.

The_Tullster · Mar 9, 2020

Much as I like Spa, I'm doing neither myself nor my fellow racers a favour getting behind the wheel of a super forumla (and I don't think I own the Toyota, only the Honda) so I'll avoid C this week.

LotusEvoraGTE · Mar 9, 2020

Managed to pull this off after getting off watching two episodes of F1: Drive to Survive S2. No anti-stall for now, now back to Netflix.

roamingbard13 · Mar 9, 2020

I think I can be competitive at Spa this week. I’m hoping I can make a final DR push towards A rating, and then semi-retire my main account for FIA. I’ll do all of my oval play on the alt.

Of course, there’s a brewer’s guild meeting tonight, so my world conquering plan will have to wait until tomorrow.

Had a lovely night at BMB running no qualy.
Reasonably successful results with a few CRB's to boot but damn the SR took a hell of a beating a couple of times there, it doesn't take much.
Managed to recover though so it's been pretty fun.

watto79 · Mar 9, 2020

Top qualifying times at BMB are wall riding :rolleyes:

Sven Jurgens · Mar 9, 2020

Decisions decisions. BMB long time no see, SF19 is going to be fun at Spa. First nice day in spring, getting up to 13c today. Coffee first, stupid DST. Too early!

Does it work in race as well? :banghead:
