[NoStopN]

Merc Moostang vette would be my choices. Sadly this track doesn’t suit me any better than the minis on A.
Might try B this week...
I was having lots of trouble locking the brakes on all cars on c qual. Really weird. A race the cars didn’t feel good to me either. Just not feeling it today I guess.

What are your ABS settings? I run weak ABS & pump my brake pedal while downgearing. Staying hard on the brake constantly will slide you into home...I mean the ARMCO.

Next week's races have been posted!

A: Laguna Seca - Gr.4 Provided car (hopefully not front wheel drive)
B: Nürburgring GP - Gr.3
C: Fuji - Gr.2

Race A looks like the winner, to me. 👍
The other 2 kinda make me wanna puke.

A) You know it will be
B) DR/SR death
C)

That's quick. I guess I'll go back in hibernation next week. One make GR.4 sprint as the best option, pass.
Back to the Nord!

What are your ABS settings?

Generally weak or default, except the kart. In race default is generally best across gr4 and 3, but it’s car dependent.
I just don’t get on with that direction of that track, at all. I only ended up like 38.7 in the Stang, after maybe 3-4 laps each across several cars...Megane, Stang. Merc, Ferarri, Vette, Viper. I do think for people into the combo it should be a good race as far as diversity of cars.
For me a lot of the corners just don’t feel good, plus as I said the track felt sloppy.
It could have something to do with me getting my :::stuff:: knocked in the dirt that one race at Interlagos when I went down to B sr for a few hours.
This might not be right but I swear there’s a point of staying 99 with no crashes, like none in qual or anything in race no contact...It REEAALLY seems like you hit a point after a certain time period of that that the cars feel like they drive much better. I dunno it’s prolly untrue but it sure feels like it to me on my wheel. It’s better more detailed ffb, just better fidelity and control, little more grip...
Like today everything I drove felt like crap.
I haven’t been 99 long enough and I crashed in qual into the wall 3 times and reset...
It’s stupid to say something ridiculous like this but I’ve found over time in sport mode the cars behavior varies. It SEEMS to me to have a relationship to the quality of ones driving, over time...:::::superstition:::::

 

[Stencedaddy]

i probably wont even try the races this week. Maybe Race C at some point. ACC and F1 need some love though.

Also Eau Rouge is scary in ACC lol. im trying to learn the setup basics to keep my brake temps and stuff up. Spa is a cakewalk in GT.

 

[Lill_Turtle]

I didn't think so I'm able to go back from reseted 15K DR to 32K in just one day, but it happened somehow . A lot of fun by the way and some epic battles and very close racing by doing it. I really like DTG reversed and gr. 4 does make sens now. Was there any Bop change last time?

Have you tried deleting local files in the options menu? I swear it helps with this...

 

[Mistah_MCA]

I've only done it once, but it was for a friend.

<3

I think we may need an anime vs no anime race to settle this.

I am down for this. With the power of God and Anime, I will defend my anime waifus from the non-anime people.

and there goes the last of my credibility

 

[Groundfish]

I do that pretty regular.
It’s just something I noticed, sometimes it’s like the game kinda upgrades the quality of your experience in sport mode.
I’ve never noticed a difference anywhere else.
Certain races in sport mode, often if matched with lower than top tier drivers grip sucks, others drive really well.

So...pitting really fast drivers who likes anime against me? What would that prove apart from me being slow?
You guys just keep using your eye-sores, I for one stand by my opinion

 

[KosmoKazi]

OK. Here is my car:

Too bad the 'no tuning allowed' keeps you from adjusting the Roll Center of that car.

Messed up Penalty system? "We know the game and we're gonna play it".

 

[Rexracer702]

Can't say I'm an anime fan, but when I came home from school, circa 1970, I would rush home to watch Speed Racer. I would still love to do a Mach 5 livery. One day I'll run through all the cars and try to find one with the right shape. Then I'll need decals...wish I still had a computer with Corel on it.

 

[williams_v_r]

I did 8:06.658 at Nords

If you'd like watch the replay use the tags "williams" & "gtplanet" to find it

 

[viper al]

Next week's races have been posted!



The other 2 kinda make me wanna puke.

Puking versus not Racing ? I'll take puking

You race, I'll ram.

I'm team non-anime unless it's a real car livery (The Cerumo SF is the only one in my GTS garage at the moment).

 

[Fennario]

Going with my daughter on this one... Creepy unless you're really into anime and/or your name is Collete Davis.

 

[O604]

I thought about starting a Lobby race thread. But I think we need to let his escalate this a bit longer.

There are lots and lots of algorithms in this game. They are mostly arcadeish algorithms. Believe me, the only course i got A(100) in college was algorithm class.

 

[williams_v_r]

My driving is too much better with cockpit camera instead bumper ( My favorite) at Nords

Someone ask for more anime liveries?

 

[Redneckchef]

So what would you advise for TCS/BB regarding races A and B this week?

Race A I run TCS 0 and BB 3 (to the rear). That gets me constant 58s. Try watching @Tidgney daily race guide. I knocked another 2 tenths not shifting but have had to alter lines slightly. No idea about B, will be attacking that later on my NA alt.

 

[baygencos]

Pink is masculine and macho in Japanese culture. Rest of the world it is feminine. Interesting. I too love Miyazaki and Ghibli btw. Deep philosophy, great movies!

 

[Pigems]

I have absolutely no idea how I did this, but, I do know that it’ll never happen again.



BB-3

It's crazy this car only has 4 speed transmission. It's crazier you only hit 4th once on Nord.

 

[Redneckchef]

So apparently you can pass in race A, but it helps if 6 of the 8 people you pass simply run themselves off track!

Now to repair SR after getting 4 seconds for a spinning car hitting me.

Edit: could take a while. Colombian swerve blocked me into druids after screwing up the start. Another penalty to me and now SR A.

That was a good race. I didn't expect you to move up as much as you did.

 

[Redneckchef]

That was a good race. I didn't expect you to move up as much as you did.

I didnt either, but there was carnage lap 1 that got me most of the spots. And a dirty Canuck who pushed me off that I had to nudge wide as revenge on my way back through. Had the Anger Turbo engaged for a solid 4 laps.

And for some reason everyone wants the slow wide line out of the final turn. So I was getting through there and then into turn 1

Was hoping to race some of you guys today but SR says no right now

Loving Daily Race C, pulling off moves like this is what I play for!!! Highly recommend Race C, it’s so good for side by side action

First of all, nice job. Secondly, you are fortunate that the other driver was a good sport. It would've been so easy for him to get rid of you.

It would seem the new system is working!!!!

At least three times, I've reached for 5th, only to find it isn't there!

I've always liked that track and I think in Gr4 it really plays well, in either direction. Good combination of separation once you are 'sorted out' but easy enough to close and pass on people, assuming you really earn it! Nice pass, and as noted above, yeah, good that he was a good sport... but that's how it's supposed to be!

 

[Redneckchef]

I can not figure out why people refuse to use traction control for grid starts! Been stuck starting p2 pretty much every race today. And in all but 2 races I jumped the leader into turn 1 by having a massively quicker start. As in, I have a 0.6 lead halfway to druids type of start. This is with A and A+ drivers. The only 1 who beat me in those 2 starts was a B driver. Ego go home, use your smarts.

Might try to continue milking this race all week. I did quit racing my NA alt when I realized I was dropping in during prime time. Forgot what hour it was.
