Best qualifying time for Race A is 0:59.359, which seems to have put me around the top 2k when I checked. Then I tried a round, and got a clean Q2/P6. Seems really odd that they’d have DR on, unlike most iterations of Race A…

I prefer race A to have some DR and SR on as it promotes better finishing and pushing you up will make it challenging rather than someone’s excellent time sticking them on pole time and time again rendering them a target 😁

For me over the last 2 weeks.....the racing has been "interesting"

I think I can compete with that...🤣
60'000 places loss in leaderbord in one weekend.

Dang Gurzu!!!!

I’m assuming the catastrophic drop was a DR reset?

 

[speeeyskells]

on my 1st two races back i finished last as i need to get back up to speed

SR and DR thanks to Le Mans... Then the nightmare continued at Catalunia, racing psychos; to be finished yesterday morning at Tokyo. One year of improvements trashed in one weekend 🤣. It is what it is. I'll recover, hopefully before Spec III.

Here's this weeks guide for those interested! Guarenteed racing to be had this week which is always nice and its nice to see bluemoon bay!

Fantastic as always, brilliant 🤩

Hi Glen!

Not posting for any reason at all @newmedia_dev ... 🫠🙃

Been a hectic few weeks, most likely will not be online in 10 days time for about a month as will be in Vietnam if all goes well 🫰

So will be trying to annoy you as much as possible until then! 🤣😘

Also - just kidding about the "no reason" for posting 😝

Are you using the wall break at the final turn? Any tips for making it smoothly with maximum exit speed? I mightily struggle there and am stuck at a 58.8. Same for T1 If you could please

Yep using the wall to help slow down as there was no consequence for doing do. I’m presuming that won’t work in race though. The wall only gives a tiny bit though. I think most time was gained turn one. Getting a nice bounce, and then drifting through the corner gained most of the time.

Where I improved most was on gearing and gear change. Only use 4th and 5th. And don’t red line it. Shift up around in the 6,100 - 6,300 rpm range.

Double bummer.

I think Glen called 2 of his friends and asked them to "show their class" if they find me racing at Kyoto.... 🫥🤔 And all this after I improved my qualy time even further...

Here’s my 58.6 lap of race A, had a few wins today on the way back to BS, some good races out there,

I didn’t use any wall help, only because I couldn’t actually do it 😁 you’ll see the ghost I used he also hits the wall in the first turn! But that last turn is a lap killer, I was just about to beat @newmedia_dev time when I just lost 2 hundredths 😂

Wall brake? Smells of cheating....

It’s not, it doesn’t make that bend any quicker in reality. Tidgney doesn’t do it and he’s plenty fast enough.

I just find that bend hard to chuck it in with more speed and then wait/smooth on the power and not **** the exit wall!

So poor, I knew the white car was going to hit you at that awkward chicane. Could see it a mile off. Hopeless.

I circled back to a few cars at Seaside during lunch and turned a 39.2 in the BMW, that feels quite a bit more competitive. I have been on three really strong laps in the beetle (1.04.7 at the 2nd split) but bin it at the COD trying to take it too fast. How you guys do it flat is totally beyond me but if I could i'd be into the 38s.

I do it flat because I time the brake/ downshift a bit earlier so car is already pointing fairly straight and weight transfer is also complete, otherwise I would be bouncing off from Kyoto to Tokyo 🤣

LOL I should have clarified I was talking Race C, post edited.

I have no words for the racing tonight, no words at all. Some words…just because the meta car looks like something from wipe out doesn’t mean it should be treated like that.

@TechnoIsLove all yours mate. I’m not quite as busy as you work wise but busy enough with it and home life that I don’t need to be punted from pole to last 3/5 races on the first lap in A/A+ or mixed A/B lobbies with all S SR.

I’m gonna go back to doing TTs for a bit, I don’t need to drive around at the back for multiple races and definitely don’t like the way people are driving at the moment.


Edit for cross post: @NevilleNobody honestly it’s easy with the new physics as long as you don’t turn in to late and quick on the cut right, it’s actually more tricky going slower as you tend to over turn the wheel

First, I set a new best qualifying time for Race A, specifically 0:59.115, so now I’m just a little within the top 2k.

(Also, fun fact: if you have Brembo brakes equipped, they’ll still appear on the car even when BoP is on. Seems nice for aesthetics, since I doubt they function like you’ve installed them when tuning is disabled.)

I then did another round of Race A. Got a clean Q6/P4, so that’s pretty good!

EDIT: I got an even better time of 0:58.941, placing me within the top 1.3k!

EDIT2: Did another round. Got a Q6/P7, but mostly because I hosed up that one corner that puts you back on the oval.

Check this out. It's well explained how to do it. Since you like driving the Beetle, it may help.
