Last race to me bit weird cause in national cup get wrong strategy, I thought it will be no pit everybody so I save it but I wrong everybody just that fast and all go pit me like just "can we restart this?" at least not finish in last cause of that :dunce:

On Interlagos race in other hand playing with field with Corvette is fun from 16 to 10 is good result to me, need step up the game anyway if I want to get some more good result.
 
My nations room was incredibly strong. Somehow only got a little bit over 2k of points. This system just sucks. The ending was intense! Good fight with deafsun, @anthaliscious and @Windfire1010.




On manufacturers i knew i would suffer with the bad pace of the citroen here and with that massive tyre wear, my aproach was let people kill themselves infront of me and save fuel like a madman. Managed well. Could not get a better result with this car and this field. Again, i fell this room deserved more points.

Still can't understand the Manufacturers Race. I got punted off by @bmxmitch in the Manufacturers Race, he got a 10 second penalty. I had to take a shortcut in T1 because of this, but luckily i got only 1 second, none for shortcutting. Still finished in P12, he did finish P8, first time i question that penalty system. :boggled: Wasn't even mad, everybody makes mistakes, but if it was unintentional and not because of lag, an apology wouldn't hurt i guess.

Well, I can apologize now :O Or do I even need to?
I did brake into T1 as usual and all looked well until you lifted and hit the brakes again. Nothing unusual, I tried to go on the inside to avoid contact, but did touch you ever so slightly. It really was just a kiss (I checked the replay later) but enough to force you around the corner.
I really do hate the collision model in GTS for that, it feels like pinball 3000! I suffered from the same crap, as someone got bumped into me feeling like a flipper ball :scared:

Funnily, I didn't get any penalty for our contact. I only got 1sec in the race for the one guy who got punted into me. And sorry for not apologizing, this race was so intense I forgot in the end. I started 13th and got 8th, so a lot of things happened in those 15 rounds.
But it was great fun! Hope to meet you again :cheers:
 
Only did Manufacturer Series. Overall, I think I had a strong Season 1. I was in Team Dodge, so I had the Viper Gr. 4 and Gr. 3.

Race 1 - Suzuka with Gr. 3 - Did really poor, and I lost internet connection in the middle of the race.
Race 2 - Tokyo Exp.: East Outer Loop with Gr. 4 - Practiced a lot, and results were fantastic. Went up several positions and finished 4th.
Race 3 - Dragon Tail Gardens with Gr. 4 - Did well, even got a Clean Race Bonus! Only went up one position (6th > 5th).
Race 4 - Interlagos with Gr. 3 - Despite practicing a lot, it was hard to nail down the track. I was able to climb a few positions (14th > 10th).

After watching the replay some times yesterday, i'm sure it was just lag and sync issues. In the replay the bump wasn't so hard. It showed 10 seconds for you, clearly a fault of the system there again. All good as i got some points at least, hope to see you again too! :)

You guys were running that fast on fuel map 6?!? :banghead::grumpy: Trophy is so broken. I was on 2 for most of it with some 1 in desperation. Your battle there with Deaf is great. Super impressed with how ice cold that was under pressure and both of you kept it clean as far as I could tell.

Fun races though. I chose to die on the anti-megane hill so I tried the Ferrari out. Qualified last and finished last :lol: Another race with zero points. I at least kinda kept up with the pack and had a nice highlight moment where McQueen91 pulled this move:


(Sometimes Youtube just gets the random thumbnails so right)

Manufacturers was a little more fair. Didn't practice for this one, qualified.. 15th? Somewhere in that area. Finished 15th I think, which is the best I could hope for in such company. Fun little chase at the end as well with NZNZNZNZNZ, my sworn rival (I don't know why :cheers: and I can't remember your forum name) but even Viper-less and in a weakened state, I couldn't make the pass. :indiff: Good fun though and probably the last time I'll see the super group as my A+ is down to a hair now and I probably deserve to be in A at this rate.

Lucky me, I didn't get penalized with 10secs there. :dunce:
But they really need to work on the system again. Its way too broken and not fair at all! Just like the FIA in real life :lol:
 
Good race Slent, I made some bad choices that race and was left behind. The only thing though I think you should corect, watch in the last lap how Giorgio takes the defensive line on straight and stays there while you were doing zig zags way to often before, nobody likes that.
 
I have a question for moderators.
As I named one player a while ago for dirty racing, my post was edited within 3mins for "naming and shaming" isnt allowed.
Since wednesday there are multiple "naming and extremely shaming" posts from more gtplanet users and no action is taken. Why? (same rules for everyone?)

And as for one player being occused for playing with multiple accounts and other players wanting him to be banned from FIA races for this season or even lifetime, just a reminder:
Nürbürgring World Tour Winner is playing with 2 accounts as seen in below screenshots: (same rules for everyone?)

:(
A/S Manufacturers lobby: started last with my WRX after qualifying two seconds slower than my practice times. Managed to finish 12th. Took advantage of opponents spinning out. I even had a half spin myself. Jumped a couple drivers in the pit stop. 673 points. I need to improve my qualifying.

Once again I experienced the "extra" understeer on the second stint.

The Subarus are great on fuel economy. Has anyone pulled off a no-stopper with a WRX?

I tried it during my race because of my poor qualifying 18th
But the tyres forced me to pit on lap 8/9 :indiff: Btw i climb to 11th place but on the last lap a Viper behind me send me to Sao Paulo Downtown :banghead: at first turn.
Great Season ending...

Wasn't aware of this, maybe its because Italy can't currently compete for the championships? I still don't condone it, rules are rules.

I saw you trying the undercut, but very hard to make it works !

I don't see what do you mean by "zig zags", the only moment of the race I changed lines is on straights but I saw he wasn't trying to take my slipstream so I came back on the good line. He did it twice at the end of the race too, I don't see anything wrong of doing that

You can name drop, as long as it's on a screenshot or a video. Famine explained before that the reason behind this is that if the said player searches up their name and you typed it, the post has a possibility of being turned up at Google's search engine, and could make things complicated.

I can't see the multiple accounts though. If there is though, it's just a matter of time before they get bashed and be accused of being perma banned from the FiA races as well
 
This 2 account thing is not right, there seems to be several players using more than one and it’s not fair on the rest of us that stick to the rules.

One they are getting two chances to qualify and two they are pushing others further down the leaderboard that deserve it more because they actually followed the rules.

I appreciate they won’t be able to get DRS twice but they can still can continue to use two accounts that are affecting others results regardless!

Neither is Croatia but there was some mentioning of that they may do something about it, which I am 98% sure they wont.

I stated twice already and will do one more last time. I am currently a resident of 2 countries and can race on both accounts if I wish to untill final season that starts in August. If someone wants to report that to PD please do so, dissapointed with this championship big time, something that was tested and worked on for 8 months to being pushed out in last second in a broken state with tons of bugs.

I understand your perspective and situation, but the rules state that each individual may enter once.

I get the complicated situation with countries, it sucks, that said I still think its best to follow the competition rules otherwise you risk PD denying you anyway due to racing more than once.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but if one of his accounts isn't eligible then he hasn't entered twice.

I believe GT Sport has you sign the FIA Competition agreement on any account, even if currently ineligible, when logging into Sport mode for the first time since the FIA release.

From there entering an FIA race on a second account having already raced on another account would be considered entering twice.

PD is working on the eligibility of countries too, if they actually manage to do anything remains to be seen, but a currently ineligible country might become eligible by Season 3.

Mix 6? No lol

I just put mix 6 for the time my car was driven by the AI to save some fuel.
 
Stupid question No. #35547

you let the AI drive?
Yep, at the rolling starts- the auto-drive before the lights go out. I do the same pretty much, except that I put the car on the FM menu before qualifying ends and I set it to 6 while the tiny cutscene is playing (yes you can control the MFD at this stage). I also don't "show off" by revving my car during said cutscene so I can save every single drop of fuel :lol:

I never thought about this... It makes sense, every drop is a second less in boxes, nice!
 
So if Season 1 in Manufacturers is anything to go by it's going to be pretty spicy between some manufacturers trying to get that Top 16 spot for the Finals.

1. Nissan - 120 points
2. Ferrari - 95
3. Lexus - 92
4. Dodge - 88
5. BMW - 86
6. Porsche - 65
7. Chevrolet - 62
8. Mitsubishi - 61
9. Citroen - 61
10. Mercedes - 47
11. Honda - 43
12. Ford - 43
13. Renault - 41
14. Aston Martin - 36
15. Toyota - 35
16. Jaguar - 33
-------------------
17. Mazda - 33
18. Hyundai - 32
19. Subaru - 29
20. Alfa Romeo - 23
21. Lamborghini - 17
22. Audi - 15
23. McLaren - 13
24. Peugeot - 13
25. VW - 11

I'm guessing at the moment in the event of a tie they'll take the highest individual region score. Best Jaguar score is 8th in Americas, and best Mazda score 13th in EMEA.
 
The people using multiple accounts in the same championship are giving themselves multiple chances at getting S rank and later multiple chances of qualifying. One of those accounts shouldn't be there regardless of eligibility, so if it's involved in say, punting people off then it's changing results it shouldn't have. In fact it's changing results even by just being there.

The people using multiple accounts (1 in manufacturers and 1 in nations) are probably trying to get S rank on two accounts so they have a choice between manufacturers later while others do not.

In both cases they may become eligible.

Yes same rules for everyone. I know of another guy who I think was at the N24 doing it too.
