I think that's someone calling themselves Lando, rather than Lando himself. He was streaming F1 and COD tonight. Not sure if he plays GTS/PS4.

Ah. Maybe. Hope not - I like the thought that I raced a F1driver...
I asked him in the chatt if he was THE Lando.
Of course he said yes...

 

[GTP_TO Blue]

Car sounded fast and was okay. Felt good on both compounds.
Only other thing I have to say is, if your tyres are worn and you're trying to defend by escorting me to the wall, you're gonna get yourself side punted the other way...

The tall 1st gear also helps a lot with this car.

Still prefer the Mustang.

At race A, I got pushed wide at the hairpin. Not a big deal. I figured it may have been accidental, so I didn't do anything about it.
Half a lap later, the same guy drives himself into a wall, and then decides to smash me for attempting to make a fair pass on him. Are you kidding me?
Ha ha
Too bad he didn't know I was on my alt account and already at SR S. With that in mind, an SR down was meaningless to me. Can't understand why people expect to get away with this kind of stuff.



That's just how I roll. Yup 👍

Another thread I know but how is it possible for them not to have fixed the penalty system. I come into the pits in monza with someone right up behind me and because my car brakes automatically before his I come out of the pits with a 3 second penalty.

I would agree Nascar is somewhat boring on TV . I've done the Richard Petty Experience at Daytona and Charlotte ,most fun I have ever had going around in circles.It takes some serious balls to stay on the gas when your CLOSE to the wall

@Invisigoth Can you log on and accept Rays friend request so he can use the Livery you made, you must have shared it as friends only.

 

[NoStopN]

You should see the liveries I just did to my Ford fleet. Mustangs already look good, but the GTs now look like a matching set.

Here they are in practice @dlshearon.

 

[Pigems]

I’ll just have to start off with @RacingGrandpa ’s Mustang first then.

 

[MIE1992]

I'm staying clear of race A. I don't like the Tokyo tracks and all they're going to do is hurt my rating for the FIA races. I like Nurburgring, but not when people get too competitive about it. It's more of a race for fun kind of track.

Despite my experiences otherwise at Race A, I sorta feel vaguely similar, and that I may just wanna sit out this week and take it easy. Maybe just qualify to have some fun, without actually entering a race. Though if I get an especially good time, maybe I’d enter, like for Race A last week.

Good lookin GT’s ya got there!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Damn!



I wish race B was 2 laps, it's too short at the moment, especially with the lack of good overtaking opportunities.

 

[Invisigoth]

@Invisigoth I volunteer to make you a gr 3 and 4 pink chrome, farting unicorn Mustang. Because I know you secretly run it as soon as you can.

Yer a sick, sick man . The only time I drive the Mustang is Bathurst.......with a GM livery .

Marlack is fast, but he's a dick sometimes. He usually hangs out at the A races, and catches a lot of heat in the post race.

"Lack of good overtaking opportunities."

You started 14th and finished 2nd.

How many of those were overtakes though? Half of them were testing out how strong the barriers were all race.

I've never seen him before, I guess he was trying to tease us at the end by losing all of that lead.

 

[Chevy Heavy]

I see a bubblegum pink metallic paint job with a My Little Pony theme in your future.....

Friendship is Magic..........

I will totally rock that if someone makes it, whilst blasting this song and starting last!

Rock on!

 

[chuyler1]

Maybe i’ll give in and drive the GTR for race 3, but i need to make a livery that makes it look like a Chevy Impala first

 

[Pigems]

Did two races tonight, the first was was a little rough, accidentally hit a guy off after a good start and had to slow down to let him back by. Then a fella decides to shove it up the inside on the main straight even though I clearly had the inside covered. Then he got mad and punted me, then I spent out twice trying to get sorted to go catch him. The 2nd race went much, much better.

That’s awesome man!! I’m totally gonna run that next time!

I found one earlier with a Dale Earnhardt #3 livery. 👍

But honestly, the Mustang is better for the race.

 

[GTP_TO Blue]

What else should we be using to accelerate and brake?

L1 & L2 and Motion Control to steer, with X and Square for gearing. Far more immersive, IMO.

I can sum up Race C in 3 videos compiled soley of races in the Monday night/Tuesday morning period this week. I was trying to use them to repair DR/SR after the weekend's rating nightmare:






🤬

 

[Rexracer702]

h

Got a win from pole on race A. Tried race C from the back. First one I got spun around exiting the first chicane (twice) and ended up 9th from 18th. Started on hards. 2nd race, also starting on hards, saw me in 6th on lap 2, due mostly to errors and penalties, though I did make a handful of legit passes, then the same mustang that messed me up in the first race spun me around again. It was all down hill after that. Finished 15th of 17 starters. Did get the fastest lap with a 48.5. Decided to try the A race from the back. 3 good races, but this combo really needs a 4th lap. Might have got a couple wins with another lap.

 

[Redneckchef]

Got a random question sparked by an earlier one. Any pick between the AMG or the SLS? Thinking of having a go at the Mustang later as well, but I was running the SLS all last night doing fairly well yet I was the only one. Everyone had the AMG. Ideas?

 

[QC YALUM]

game has been out for more than two years , everybody know that any race involving monza will be a punt -get out of my way- fest , yet you still seem surprised about that?

Thats why i never approach this track with a ten foot pole

i did 6 races yesterday and 5 clean race bonus ? Only one race a guy was lagging very badly and we had contact 1rst chicane , after the race a message im bad connection ? He is from Afghanistan on American server , not even a red bar connection :/ . Those connections problem make close racing impossible

 

[Groundfish]

That's just how I roll. Yup 👍

I fear all that player did was awaken a sleeping giant.

 

[___MIKE___]

I'm done with race C, q time of 1.47.4 in the gtr but 1. I hate driving that car 2. it's a total puntfest.

Off to Tokyo for me, I normally fair OK there once 'I get my eye in'

 

[Deadpool]

I was terrified B would be a nightmare, been using my Alt. This is some of the cleanest most intense racing I’ve had. Period. Found a very clean room and I keep going like a addict. I think I’ve done 8 races from back so far. 2x 2nd, 3rd, 4th and a bunch of 5ths. Getting by clean here is hard but doable with the right group.

 

[QC YALUM]

At race A, I got pushed wide at the hairpin. Not a big deal. I figured it may have been accidental, so I didn't do anything about it.

May just save their DR though. Plus, not like the races will change in a couple days....
