Did 3 Road Atlanta races today, despite recovering from a dislocated shoulder.

First race I just kept it on track for a 6th place finish.
Second race I got pushed off, had to fight from the back to finish 8th. Could be worse.
Third race I believe I was in a lobby with you @bone_tone . You started directly behind me. I was constantly collecting penalties and had to avoid several drivers that were taking each other out. Finished 4 seconds behind you in P8 I believe.

Yes, we were racing together - I recognise your PSN name!

That was one of the better races I was in - the last one I did was incredibly dirty, I got taken out so hard I finished last by a large margin.....
 
First races tonight for a while. Did one race C, I hate the pit entry at Atlanta as well but without tire wear this is one dull Race C. Will concentrate on B until i get fed up with pinball wizards.

Eiger reverse is the worst layout in the game and its the reason i stopped doing the weekly challenges. Its excruciatingly annoying. No ta.

There’s a 1:26.3 optimal in me as well. @Childe Roland your move! :D

Hmm, not sure I can catch that but challenge accepted!

PSA: To everyone - please friend me!!!

I was keeping my "The Normsk VR" account for VR friends only but I must admit it is a bit lonely and now that I am not using the old account much I miss you all. I need to get you on this account (Normsk_VR). Thx!

Wonder if a lap of SSRX would work? Would have to take the same lines of course

Since the claim is that max power is unaffected, only engine response is affected, a full lap of SSRX would not be indicative. The whole lap is flat out.

The effect would be most pronounced on runs through the gears. A circuit with long straights and slow but easy corners would be the best test scenario.

I have to say, I’ve never had a ‘normal’ anywhere else but on the oil, let alone bad 🤣

You guys are serious car killers 😁

I've had a "Normal" chassis condition on a credit grinding car, but only once.

In the race we shared, at least 3 people were taking it out on each other. Had to be careful. One of them also suddenly turned in to me when I attempted an overtake, but he came out worse than I did. My other 2 races were much more respectful luckily.

Yes, there was a bit of that going on. I'm not sure whether it was the race we were in, but a fellow Brit pit sideswiped me into the wall halfway down the back straight. I lost two places as a result, but he must have come out worse, as he was then three places behind me!
 
Little by little, I'm getting there. Today I'll may be in the mix with some of you guys, hopefully. Yesterday was an 1:26.385 that keeps me between 1st and 4th at the start. Surprisingly I found only one real A-hole (CIT). I mean, in all nyt, I was kicked out just few times, only one intentionally. Out of my (still many) mistakes, I've got few podiums, one of wich chasing a guy 1/2 sec faster (QT). It was like 3 laps puttung pressure, calmly waiting to push on 4th lap and try a move on 5th, wich I couldn't eventually make without ruining both our races. So I stepped back and brought home the race.
I shared that replay, cause the fairness at 1st lap (and in general) makes it look so much like an actual race. The "cameras position's choise" is really spot on at Deep Forest imho.
 
Hi all, does anyone have a link to that handy website, where you enter your PSN id and it gives you your ranking for your best times on all the current Time Trials in sport mode?
I had it open, but didn’t bookmark and my browser crashed. 🙄
Cheers!

Not sure what’s being thrown up for race b next week

Can’t see it being gr4 with racing soft 🤔

Race c gr4 would be outstanding though
 
What the hell happened to my stats?
I was dr b by few pixels and full Sr s
Did one C race ended very bad, dead last, and my dr dropped to mid c

Did two more C races, both ended 3rd, I saw the arrow up in the dr at the end of each race, but now I see this

It means it's full when the bar doesn't show. Next race if you gain DR will take you in to B again.
 
I wonder, do people watch racing?

(I'm in the Honda) I did a last turn block pass, I hugged the curb, didn't dive bomb, but I knew that I was taking the line....A block pass. Pretty normal in my mind.

Oh the consternation post race 🤣 Check the radar and mirrors folks

Good move there 👍 He turned straight in to you
 
Just did 5 laps TT at Deep Forest in the RSR. Got within 3 seconds of the fastest time in the world. But when I checked the leader board I was 21,xxxth!

Usually 3 seconds off puts you ~5,000th, maybe ~10000th, no?

Deep Forest is a popular place, must be a TON of people runnin' it this week. I know I've been having a good time over there...haven't touched RA at all this week. Racing has been pretty solid, too.👍

:cheers:

EDIT
@Voodoovaj you got reported and they saw justification to suspend you for THAT???? Wow...sorry, that's a bunch of 💩.☹️

In combos like this the times are really really tight and it's fairly easy to match loads of people's times.

The track is really well known now and the cars are so similar that the competition is super close in B this week and in C as is the nature of a popular track and Gr4

I'm .8 off number 1 and 650th for C

But for B (which I haven't raced this week)

I'm 2 seconds off the top time and 4300

Just flicking a few pages from my position on the leaderboard and I think this will answer your question

@Voodoovaj it won't be for that as you can't be banned like that for in game behaviour (several players who cannot be named would have had lifetime bans)

The 3 day PSN ban is because of offensive/threatening messages or liveries.

You can use an alt account fine in this period just not the banned one.

They don't check. It's an honor system.

Not to mention, that my DR S was unchanged. It's still full.

Threatening messages or liveries? 🤔 Maybe my DeWalt Subaru??? You can't send threatening messages because it gets **** out.

Yes you can because just them blocking them doesn't mean they aren't tracked.

Also unsolicited PSN messages calling some one a Muppet/Clown etc will trigger a ban if reported.

They definitely wouldn't have reviewed any reports that quickly after a race as the report mechanism is for the entire PSN across all games.

Trust me I have had 1,3 and 7 day bans before.

It won't be for that mate if that video is from today they won't have even reviewed the report yet.

Even if you didn't say anything offensive it is more than likely from another message you sent via PSN to someone else in the last week id highly suspect.

PD in game reporting isn't the same as issuing PSN bans in the normal way.
