Theres a penalty zone in the 4th slot. I dont think it was there before.

 

[Bourdais1993]

Just finished the qualifying and i can feel how chaotic it will be later in the race...

It was there the whole time. I checked during my 2 practice laps.

Has anyone used the NSX, McLaren, Lambo or SLS? haven't seen any in any of the streams/replays i've seen. Assuming they are no good.

The most boring of the choices.

 

[Bourdais1993]

Just finished the race and I have won it lol

Started at p6 and no one wanna team up with me at first, so I followed others until the end of t1. Suddenly someone lost control and 3-4 cars crashed lol Luckily i avoided and someone finally teamed up with me after that...

At the very last few hundred meters someone pulled the trigger and tried to pass me, but someone bump-drafted me and I won lol

Not sure if anyone wants to watch the replay but if yes then let me know, I can upload it later... but it was quite boring if you’re not playing hahahaha

 

[pringaling]

Thought I was going to regret it when I arrived in a C/D field.



Definitely did

 

[Carrera1963]

Well this is going to be chaos... but if there’s no penalties, no harm trying

 

[tankuroded]

There's other things to joke about this race other than in-race conduct, such as Michelin tires on ovals (for context: 2005 US GP; I joked about this back during the World Tour race with Super Formulas at BMB), similarities to your typical SSRX lobby races, or the racing being better than NASCAR Heat 5, but this race is my site of my first FIA win. Granted, it's a D/S fest, but a win is a win.

This race makes me wish there's NASCAR cars in the next GT game, by the way.

 

[Carrera1963]

That was fun!

bump drafted someone from P2 for most of the race, saw a smallish crash somewhere behind us at one point

finished P2 in a 3-way tie at the end

then got the GT40 Mk1 from the roulette as my daily reward

 

[pringaling]

Last one for the night


All up DR hit could have been worse..

NSX is fast in the draft but drops places off the start, McLaren picks up spots at the start but falls off a bit in a double/triple tow. I might use the NSX.

 

[Hasnain282]

I'll take any excuse to use an NSX

 

[Rangeraus]

So you can bump draft all race without a penalty, but it is still possible to be disqualified for it:



Starting to think the 2020 season has jumped the shark.

It seems like PD surprisingly had the foresight to remove penalties for this race, but even then they still can't follow all the way through with it...

Foresight would have been to make this a daily race, and not including it in a championship where prizes are handed out.

I would definitely be interested in having a daily/weekly race at SSRX. As long as there was no penalty for bump drafting or hitting walls. A penalty for wrecking someone else would be fine.

 

[Hasnain282]

This can only end well

 

[stpatty]

GTPlanet gang! If you see me in a slot today I will work with you. I'm going in the R34 first slot.

Tried some practice races last night with @Lost Sheltie - in my experience you want to be high where possible on the corners, you want radar on at all times, and you want to hang back before the last corner and time your slipstream to catch up about halfway through it (or between turns 3 and 4, if you're a Nascar fan). As far as I can tell if you drive the NSX or sls you'd be as well not bothering, but most others should be comparable. Good luck everyone.

 

[ivann]

penalties are off?! ...
so..
official fia dirty nascar?!

There have been several times where they would make an FIA race into a Daily Race a week or 2 afterwards. I'm not sure if that was intentional, or just because their lack of originality lately means it's not that unlikely that FIA and Daily races would inevitably see similarities. Either way, we might still see this in a Daily. I'd rather have BMB or Northern Isle though...

Honestly I'd love a Northern Isle FIA race too, with pit stops! So it would have to be at least 60 laps, but I think it would be more fun than SSRX, and the outcome wouldn't be determined purely by chance like SSRX. We had an FIA race at BB Raceway a long time ago and I wish they'd do it again.

Dirty or kik

 

[stpatty]

Started 10th. Up to 6th coming out of the last corner. Tried to go up the inside of an Italian who put me into the pit wall. 15th.

 

[thiagoturbao]

survived 3 corners...hit on the last one, typical 7th

 

[watto79]

Note to anyone who cares about qualifying. A 2 man slipstream train doesn't work. You need at least 3. Went from 18th to 11th and was a load of fun. Someone tried to pass me to the right before the start finish line and hit the pit wall. Think it might have been @ivann

Lost a negligible amount of DR so will be going again ... in over an hour?! What a strange race day.

it was me
who puts a barrier in the middle of the track going 400+??
hint: PD

 

[Baka_Marimo]

After somehow surviving this



I went on to do this



Suck it, Ferraris

Car choice is completely irrelevant in this one

As you pulled out I literally said to myself "You know there's a wall there right?"

Thud.

Felt bad for laughing.....

 

[GR33N]

From 19th to 3rd for 213 pts, I'd have won if it wasn't for that dirty greek driver (GRIGO_GM, I don't like to name but he's ALWAYS dirty) who rammed the 2 cars going to overtake him before the finish line.

Avoid the chaos, time your last attack with the slipstream and you should get a good result!

PS: going again, it's a fun race and the growing tension before the last corner is pretty exciting

 

[RJBMonkey]

Qualified 6th, finished 3rd. Amazingly no dramas. Everyone worked with each other well enough. 2nd finished .001 seconds behind 1st with myself 0.010 behind 2nd!
