Has anyone figured out how to turn ghosts off? I hate ghosts and the inability to turn them off ruins what would otherwise be a great game mode.

 

[Nacho Libre]

I initially hated them, but I’m used to them now. I agree they should be optional though.

Drive faster than them

No way to disable.

This was my results.

Great thread, especially since we cannot compare lap times and results in-game.

My results:

I was actually able to get 15th place in monthly results. I guess it's not that much of an achievement since not so many people are playing, but still! I'll try to participate as much as I can this month so hopefully I'll be able to be in top 10 by the end of September

It's sad that you can't compare friends times and also you cant easily find your time on the leaderboard either. Something that pCARS 2 had.

Today daily event is very nice (Hot Lap at Monza GP Rain with Formula X).

Stay away from the puddles, or you will throw away a potential amazing lap with a wheelspin.

Very true. Such basic features and easy to implement as well. I also think it's silly not to have the number of attempts left when you are in the event. You need to leave the race and go back to the menus for that.

Edit
Was lucky to reach P16 in a daily challenge yesterday on my last try! Gotta say this reversed Suzuka/Sakitto layout played tricks with my head at first

Today’s pace setter is Taming Moby. Porsche 935/78 at Indianapolis Road course. Managed a silver III after blowing most of my chances.

Wow, only 10 tries for Pace Setter. Not much!

I think I got P15 on Xbox, that Bentley felt rather nice to drive

Enjoyed Formula E event so far, even managed to get closer to 100, 122 at moment of exiting the mode. Few seconds aways from a top. But car is very unpredictable, sometimes very easy on steady exit, some times spin out instantly. Had to alter a differential's power coast to have some decent results.

Dunno how, but ghost loading wrong for me, there supposed to be faster, but appear way behind, usually got lost at first corner. In 935 challenge and Formula X worked fine.

Friday's rivals event: 512 M Madness at Bannochbrae. Hot lap, 20 attempts.

 

[Zeitoss]

Yes today Daily event is crazy cool.

For the time being, I am Gold 3 (#51 position on Xbox), let's see at the end!

One thing I have to admit, they nailed the Career and Rivals mode.
Top notch both.

 

[Bloodytears]

LMAO this Ferrari ridiculously understeery.

 

[cosme]

Something went horribly wrong for me in the yesterday's daily...

 

[Nacho Libre]

Daily event is the Zonda Revolution Sprint hot lap at Sonoma raceway short.

When I did it couple of hours ago, I was in P6 (less than one second away from P1), but surely it was just the beginning.
Even though, it was a nice gratification.

 

[Bloodytears]

Zonda the best car for hot lapping.

 

[PJTierney]

If you like understeer followed by sensitive oversteer, sure.

Tip: Short-shifting out of the slower corners helps with throttle delivery.

Dunno, never was a fan of Pagani, but in every game present I know it for moving like butter on fried pan, at it's the same hot. This car delivers almost instant action into everything even boring tracks. Plus in PC3 it have amazing breaks, that you barely need to use even with abs off, it slower down and turn like a dream.

 

[LitleFela]

Reference lap for this months formula e rivals event. Current world record but I expect someone will be able to get a 28. Are the rivals leaderboards platform specific and not cross play?
Excuse the potato ps4 quality

 

[Nacho Libre]

Today's rivals event is E-power Run in Jerez.

One small detail, during the running start, when the car passes over the kerbs, turn your view on bottom left and notice how the string reacts to car vibrations.

These are the small details I love.

The weekly event has changed to Conquer the FXX K, a pace setter around Algarve (tough), and the daily is the Chiron Dash pace setter around Brands Hatch. The stock Chiron is horrible, but I’m intrigued by a racing version.
I have to say that visually both events look much better than the average, and in the sound department I’m doing the 14 days free trial of DTS X, It sounds better than the Windows Sonic mix.

 

[Bloodytears]

Never understood a hype around cars like Chiron, very fast car that takes corners and bumps like family sedan.

 

[cosme]

Chiron challenge was one of the worst. Maybe this car is fun to drive on some other tracks, but definitely not on Brands Hatch. Got gold 3 and called it a day, although I usually go for platinum.

The colour of trees on PS4 is kinda weird. Looked very past gen-ish.
