Jara is only 13 y’o and he’s alien material though!

Which Jara? 70 or 71?? Never knew they were so young then again Lookey is like that as well at only 15 y/o

70 lol 71 is his older brother who’s 17. You’ll see jara-70 as TNTR_jara-70 in the future.

I haven’t seen Lookey22 since he got reset to DR B some time ago. Maybe he has made a new account.

I think you were in that race too with your BlackOut account.

Jeez I never knew they were so young. Then again, I'm coming to find out there are a lot of top drivers in the game that are fairly young.

I feel old (17 yo.)

 

[suprajef]

You’re fast so I think you’ll get up there again. Especially since many players used two accounts and EU and AP drivers raced on our servers.

TNTR isn’t an alien team. Our top guys moved to CnF and now FT. Jara is only 13 y’o and he’s alien material though!

Wow, can't imagine how much faster they will get!

I’m 29 so imagine how old I feel haha I rarely get to be ahead of them but sometimes grandpa gets lucky

We youngsters (although I barely am ) can learn a lot from you who are years ahead in terms of experience

Well that is a positive way to put it lol, most of the guys I race with in the wrs are older than me, some a lot and are still fast

I probably have less experience than you haha Never got into online racing before GTS.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens with FIA races if there’s an age limit to enter. I think Kaz talked about 17 or 18.

I go online all the way back to GT5, but only really got competitive in GTS I'm pretty sure I was just a C-B rank all these previous years in terms of pace
It's 18

I only have experience from this far back:

Of course, that's against the computer. I only started online racing with GT5 via online leagues. The good thing for me with the FIA races is that they're set up a lot like all those races I did with one exception. FIA races are on the short side of length, even the Top 24 events. Many of my league races were at least 30 minutes long (the longest being a 2 hour endurance that came to a photo finish) and that helped me develop consistency and patience. Unfortunately, the FIA events are set up in a way in which there's more incentive to be aggressive and one can't quite develop rhythm because the tires fall off a cliff. There's a few things I would change about it so that younger drivers develop good habits that will get them better results.

But what do I know?

You know a lot

You have a fair point about people being aggressive with these shorter races though. Although I do think the players become patient mid-way through the longer races like Race C and the FiA races, I'm guessing they're still relatively aggressive compared to your racing leagues
I had a 1.5 hour endurance race one time, and honestly the difference in racing etiquette really surprised me. Everyone was next level patient. Sure they'd battle me a bit, but they won't drag it out as long as people usually do in Sport mode. I only found out why later when I was dangerously low on fuel : D

Some one call ?
Hahahaha

 

[mclarenLB]

Forming a personal prayer circle to pray that my motivation returns before the full season starts.

 

[adstomko]

I'm wondering if they'll ask us to provide our real names online. I guess that would make sense.
E.g. Commentator: 'And there is Nissman in the Honda, followed by McLaren in the Audi'

I know the answer to this but I can't tell you what it is yet.

They used real names during the event... I doubt they’ll do it for everyone though. I’ll let you respect your NDA

Its not an NDA thing, more of a respect thing honestly. I'll let PD announce their stuff, I won't do it for them.

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Sure we will know more on Wednesday when the update is out. Just leave the poor lad and his powerful secrets to be. More than likely some/lots of it aren't available until the real racing starts.

Not sure we will find out much until the mid month announcement now, unless some of it gets implemented in the update

 

[Lost Sheltie]

He also probably knows where the new nitrous switch is on the controller

Maybe real names are required to get the FIA license, which will be required to compete in the real FIA championship season?

That and your soul.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

I do a lot worse in Nations. It's probably because the combos are more varied which means more practice required. Doesn't help that I usually do Nations first when I get home without much warm-up.

 

[anthaliscious]

There’s a lot of things that need to be adjusted and fixed before the real season. Not happy with the systems at all.

 

[DriftMethod]

That and your soul.

After seeing some of the SR ratings around here, I don't think the soul thing is gonna be a problem.

I have struggled in the nation's races. Got a few wins and poles in Manufacture series, but don't have either in nations
