Seeing a few more FF cars in the top 10.

While most of us gathered there would be no live events, we've not had any confirmation? In that video the following is shown;

I completely missed that when I watched the videos. Wow, good catch!

I saw @Jomas post in the whatsapp to be fair, and hadn't seen it in my discord so I lobbed it in there and on twitter and as it wasn't in here I did here to. So Jomas can have the credit for that catch !

@Tidgney Actually @Aweoob spotted it first

I read this on the PS blog.

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, there are currently no live showcases planned to bring together the top leaders of the online stages, but that doesn’t mean the tension on the tracks of these Top 16 Superstars races will be any less compelling.

It's nice how PD have been really communicative and informative on this issue.

Ready to go. Went with something I wouldn't ever think to go with but both cars are fairly stable (probably means they are slow lol) and I figure why not. Thanks to @Azabear6 for the matching Gr4 livery!

very cool livery, they really look awesome!!!
i am sticking with Renault, as i love how the Megane Trophy drives, and because i have no time to make new livery designs.

Continuing from the previous success I had with Toyota (1st overall in NA (within Toyota) with them the previous season - somehow), I decided to go for them again after the update. The cars feel good and I can't wait to start driving again!

No one blames PD for the whole Coronavirus and removal of live events, but they need to communicate this to their player base. Rather than breadcrumbs left in a video or a blog.

Also, on the topic of Superstars races... is anyone else getting disconnected a lot lately? I got disconnected from both Superstars races on the weekend.

If this is a server problem then this should be fixed, especially if T16 races are the only carrot that is being dangled for this season.

Welcome to Team Chevy, where we don't spin, but we also don't win!

You make me want to make a Villanova livery now. Maybe include UNC/UM logos with giant Xs over them.

I kid...

 

[LeGeNd-1]

I wonder if the top drivers are going to be less motivated this year without the live events. It's just not the same feeling winning a purely online series compared to winning in front of a live crowd. Never say never though. If situation improves we could have a super shootout final near the end of the year. IIRC in 2018 we have regional semi finals and then the winners go straight to final.

Also, I'm still baffled how the Manufacturer switcheroo is gonna work with the new Mazda. Are we gonna be able to switch between Round 8 & 9 after the update drops, or will it be for next stage?

Good luck to all participants Race hard, race clean and most importantly, HAVE FUN! 👍

Would help me out for sure. But then again I live in the only US state that is exempt from the competition so it doesn't matter anyway...

Yeah, I don't get that exclusion. It's seems kinda random.

I think it has something to do with a certain gambling law that also prevents me from doing raffles and giveaways in my facebook group.

Actually looking forward to the Huracan Gr.4 race. Something different.

I believe I've been gifted 7 (seven!!) Gr. 3 Lamborghinis, but not a single Gr. 4 one...

Extremely happy with this one. Watching the replay right now.

1RH/8RM/5RS Tyres held together consistently. I think the tyre warmth is more effective/non-effective(?)... maybe I can say, an equaliser. Never noticed how much of a difference it makes.
I was catching the Vantage after it pit for a last lap switch to RH. A fair many cars pitted to throw those on. I passed for 8th, as it was in the pit exit lane.

Overall, one slight drama coming around to start the back straight. Got a bit of grass and lost time. Allowed P2 to catch up(the SLS was on cold tyres), though I was managing a 1.5 gap(we were just out of the top ten mid-race). Also, a "whatever" 1 second, at the final chicane exit kerb. I was catching cars ahead and going to pit for Softs anyway.

More like this, please.

Did you get round without having to refuel in the Mustang?

Did you get round without having to refuel in the Mustang?

At the first stop(end of Lap 1), I topped up from 92%. Didn't save fuel for the rest of the race. Had 53% Lap 9.

I’m stupid..

How do I change tires in free practice?

It defaults to hard and greys out all other options.

How are the FF cars fairing with tyre wear now??? Tempted to chance it with Audi, Renault or Peugeot.

 

[Lion-Face]

The beginning of the next season. Ferrari feels good with the update, looking forward to seeing if the pecking order has changed....I'm not holding my breath....
