Like Roblox today. That thing is hell on parents.
Nailed it. Along as you go in knowing that first chicane will be what it is, pretty reasonable to get decent finishes if you race smart the rest of the way.
Yeah no brakes at Lesmo 1, just lift throttle to load up the front tires before turn in. You can easily pull 2-3 tenths on people braking for that corner. Also I've done something like 75 laps of Monza this week and I'm still not braking late enough at Ascari, my first race I was losing half a second a lap to first place through there.
Yeah, I've just been trying to be around or close to the first apex when I get rammed so I can cut the second apex using the extra momentum and rejoin the track on the inside. Of course, why people don't realize there's always going to be a traffic jam there on Lap 1 and actually slow down, I'll never understand. Maybe on Friday night's DRWF we can manage a clean lap 1, just to prove it's possible.
Nothing wrong with hanging back at Monza and watching the carnage unfold.
You can practice grid start with false start checks and high fuel / tyre multipliers in lobbies.
One thing that is helpful with regard to grid starts: I've read and it seems entirely true, that when you have any % of brake applied... the car absolutely will not launch. It's different than real life in that regard, so it's really safe to just conduct a launch start (A) with 60% throttle or so (more is just slamming the TCS dithering and taking away from a faster start, for most cars) and (B) foot on the brake, at any moderate pressure, and then release the brake pedal at the 'lights out'. Be sure to be ready to shift up, and there is little else to manage for an optimum start in most cases. I put the TCS on 2 (or 3 in extreme cases for high-HP, low traction RWD cars, but not really recommended as it will slow your upshifts) to avoid wheelspin, then flip it to my usual 0 after the first turn or next available chance.
Yes, I do understand most of the situation and agreed that I most likely did go to the line, so most likely over it when I was getting penalties for people crashing into me after already being off track. And I cam understand my warning. My issue was that the PSN support person stated that any reply in any way to abusive messages could be considered as a violation. I specifically asked if that meant I could be punished for replying 'lol,' 'right' or 'report' when someone sends me the vulgar profanity laced messages that I have received in the past. He said yes. I would be considered as engaging them so encouraging it. That part I really found confusing. I was also told that with my warning I was pretty much now officially encouraged to never message another player again unless I already knew them as a friend.
Well I'm on over 1500 races and still haven't managed 15 in a row
I got none at Fuji last week cos I bashed the barrier every pit entry but other than those collision I probably would have done itI can only imagine it was difficult just getting 10 myself seems like after 4 clean races, something always happens. I've got hundreds of 4 clean race streaks though.
