Nations was interesting, with a lot of different cars pretty even (I chose the 919 but was a very mixed field). I qualified 15th in my race but was only 1.5 off the best and had pace to spare. Unfortunately I didn't take into account a cone of doom that bunny hopped my car off the track at the banked hairpin.
By the time I got back on track I was 23 seconds behind the leader, and dead last. Managed to fight my way back through the pack to 12th, but my pace would have probably gotten me a top 5 otherwise so was a little bit dissapointed, but I did like that the gr1 cars seemed reasonably balanced on this track.
Thanks to @mthomas_95, @sundaydriving and @Crazy Taylor for the car suggestions, you were very helpful
not sure what happen with yesterday, all car in GR.1 I tried feel so understeer and Corvette GR.4 too almost can't turning around and no grip at all feel really weird, almost get last because in both race because of that.
Then another problem appear, what happen if you totally off pace and actually start last than get time bug? It was hell. Really-really hell driving without any grip or thing. Good thing I still get good point to stay on Top 10 Indonesia and top 20 Chevy.
Tag Heuer your clock was broken
About bug I suspect that come when I pitting in qualify and sudden get that weird time, then I out qualify with that time cause somebody-spin-and-hit-me-and-I-get-usual-5-seconds.
🤬
His chance of winning this race was stolen by the system. As seen in the clip, his race was ruined by the end of the 1st chicane.
Watched the video, this error was not acceptable especially for a FIA race. The pace setter (1:45.117), 1.5s faster then the pole, was assigned to start at P8.
Shame on the system.
In every race last place recieves 0 points. All the other positions recieve some. I knew point wise it wasn't a sound option. But it was a chance to see the top aliens. Why not take it? I don't know if I will ever get another one. I knew strategicaly it was better for me to race outside of SS, less people in the other slots that could beat me. Also, I've played sport mode for a month or two. I was quite amazed I was able to get in.
I uploaded my manufacturers race. Yeah, I look back a lot! Took 4 hours to upload
Guys if you are thinking all is lost because you didn't make the T24 always remember there is always an idiot like me who finishes about a minute behind the winner for a total of 1.4k points 👍 quick review of all the things that lost me time (apart from the lack of pace) ↓
I did a brief test of several gr1s, 908, R18 2011 and 919 all seemed fairly close on pace, a tenth or two faster for the Audi but it used way more fuel. Clearly I didn't get anywhere near the best out of the R18 in my quick test - me and the other Peugeot (a guy who was at the N24 event) were languishing around at the back on pace in a race full of R18s. Some guy took the weirdest angle into T3 hit me then a bit later absolute chaos when I touched the grass resulting in 25s of penalties. What was that about a more lenient penalty system?And then to top it off I binned it.
Oh and we all disconnected from both manufacturers races...
I ragequit that one, although not a Superstar one... I was having a really good pace but then I screwed up 1 corner and got off track and could not rejoin the track I just kept spinning.
If you're struggling to get going pause the game and auto drive will get going for youYou screwed that race up alright
Yeah I agree mate, I think that clip is good evidence of the system working well. Wanted to upload it just as a counter-perspective to the majority of threads/posts that we read about them.
oof. This'll be a hard one for me... At least the technical nature means I can mask my spiky gas pedal
A lot of those variable depends on the car and it's tire wear, but sometimes a simple approach to a complex situation can help. Take this with a grain of salt, because I did crash in the chicane (maybe being overconfident.)
Given that it is a Renault. IMO the hardest one in Gr3. I even can't drive it properly with TCS 2.
What can i say
We are not in the same planet though we are sharing view on GTPlanet.
In my opinion this is the fastest car around this track as the japanese guys were / are doing high 21.7 with it so i wanted to have a shot with this xD (i was using the wrx before and managed to do a 21.9 with it hehe)
I just thought Renault is your favouite Gr3. I was lucky enough raced with you once at Suzuka that you were riding on the same monster.
haha
No one on GTPlanet won't recognize you on the grid lol It was my pleasure on the same grid though you didn't saw me in your mirror.
I respect your point of view but i don't agree with you , when you enter a random room of manufacturer or nations cup , you have 5 differents optionswith 5 differents max and mini points available depending of the level of the DR room. The difference is huge. You can win around 1500 points with a 5 or 6 place in a high level one , or 1200 winning a lower level one. All this at the same racing pace.
Total time is a terrible way to do it.
