This is all well & good until everyone starts running the same inside lines and the inevitable puntarama breaks out.
Then you blitz around them all on the outside line. In karting I call it the Russian Roulette line.
Well happy birthday, mine is the 24th of this month. Lol, that's cool our birthdays are in the same month. Oh, we're dealing with Autopolis again? I haven't played gt7 in 4-5 days so idk what events are taking place in Sport mode this week.Had a birthday to tend to yesterday so knew I wasn't going to have time to run any races, which was no big deal because I'm not a fan of Suzuka. Apparently I need to change that to I 'wasn't' a fan...lovin' this track for some reason. I only say that because it's been my nemesis for so long. This is the first time running here on '7 so maybe it's the physics changes that have made it more, uhhh, manageable? Not sure. And, of course, I pick the day wherein I have ZERO time to enjoy this new found fun...
Then I did something really stupid, I decided to go racing after running a whopping six laps of practice. Figured outcome be damned, I gotta get at lest one in. Started P3 in an early morning 'blobby' that ranged from A+ to C with equal parts Sr disparity. Great race, hands shakin' the whole damn time and all. Was able to keep my 💩 together long enough to cross the line P4. Given I parked at the beach for a minute, was stoked with the result. Promptly turned the game off to end on a high note.😁
Autopolis looks/feels like it's gonna be a blast. Was able to set a decent qualifier (for me) in the Jag' so am hoping I can carve out some time to go racing on that one this week, too.
See y'all out there!!
Up to 5th lap 1, then off last turn, down to 7th. Back to 6th and spun avoiding a ghost last turn lap 2 down to 12th. What is it with that last turn in the race? In hindsight I should have just driven through the ghost and not tried to drive around it and I would not have spun out. Back to 9th in esses only to go off again! That was my fault for drifting onto grass. Down to last. After that clean and worked my way back to 10th thanks to attrition ahead. Shaky start to my DR ranked races but was a net 0 in the end.
Yes and no. What it will stop is the people who think that just because they got inside, they don't have to consider anyone who is on the outside. Or if they misjudge their speed, they won't be elbowing you off the track semi-unintentionally.
It also ensures that if they do punt you, from behind, they get a penalty
Again, there's an article posted to the front page (and into this thread) of GTPlanet with all the details every Monday morning. And a video.

Clearly, the way racing incidents are viewed is subjective.
I did a couple of Watkins Glen races yesterday, and they were pretty good.
There was an incident where I got a little piece of someone's rear bumper getting into turn 2.
I didn't mean to do it, but I thought it was relatively harmless. The other driver then made it a point to run me into the turn 3 wall.
Of course I called him out after the race.
He said "You drove right over the top of me, bro"
Well, like I said, a single incident can be viewed many different ways.

So far in my attempts at tuning I have not made the car drive any better so I have left it on default for now. I will test more though the week as I will probably stick with race B this week - might try C later on one people have figured out the preferred car for the race. BTW, I'm getting on well with the 4C there but I have not idea on how its fuel consumption goes in a race. Ideas?
Had someone overtake me on the straight and then immediately pull in front and hit their brakes. I had no time to react and I punted them into Narnia. I did not get a penalty. I actually think the penalty system realized it was a bad move on their part and they got what they deserved!
How is the fuel strategy for the Supra? I'm concerned with this race as the cars I like to drive there are nowhere on the leaderboard (4C) and I do not like the F-type or 458 at Autopolis.
Yes.
