I couldn't figure out what turnup was up to and I wanted to leave him room for the next turn (turn 8 I think) so I hugged the inside and downshifted to 2nd and when I hit the gas, I lost the back end...I almost caught it but I ended up in the grass.
I think you are on to something here...I might have bumped the sticks on the DS4. Thanks for the tip! 👍
Let me know how it goes for you later...I might stop in an spectate for a bit before I go to bed.
I left the room and re-booted the PS4 and entered the room using my wheel as the input...turned on the DS4 attached my headphones/mic to the DS4 input and the wheel went dead. Maybe I hit the sticks by mistake again...
. Good race and win @Spurgy 777
Think that was my fastest lap but it didn't do me any good. I was surprised at how much I had caught you
and quickly decided we were on different strat's and my glory was going to end very quickly. It was the best race yet for me and having a pretty full start grid was great to see and makes the races so much more engaging. 👍

Ha, I couldn't quite figure out what I was doing myself! I was on fuel save mode when you guys approached me side by side so I was trying to just hold a wide line to let you both pass on the inside but sorry if I caused confusion.
I was aiming for a 3 stopper but without any practice I hadn't tied down a workable strategy and was sorta making it up as I went along. I came to the conclusion I'm more of a sprinter than a strategist and I would have been more competitive with a relatively hammer down 4 stopper instead. To top it off, I had to pull over for a couple of laps to deal with an emergency call from my wife when she was hit by a severe cramp in her leg after going for a run on her new fitness regime!
Your experience sounds similar to mine for the WW race. I got it completely wrong and was all over the place having to splash and dash one or two laps from the end which cost me.
I did wonder what had happened to you but you did a great job of staying out of the way for me and distracting @Bassaddition well enough to let me by him too, I owe ya
@BigDawg_1281 come to the WW and EU races we have beer and Pit girls
... and beer .
No worries mate...I am a complete novice at OLR and I didn't want to block or impede your progress. I thought you ran a bit wide and didn't equate you were giving me room to pass!
For a brief second, I had a flashback to several past Sport races where my fellow racer would dive back and punt me off the track! All of you are brilliant racers and in the future, I will be more settled in traffic. 👍Umm...where were the pit girls? the free beer? Man, I have to get my mic working!...come to the WW and EU races we have beer and Pit girls
What headset do you use?I did have one question...I use a TM 300 wheel and I have a DS4 controller active as well. I had my headset with mic plugged into the DS4 for sound and chat and that worked great but my wheel was dead. I tried a complete re-boot of the PS4 and entered the room through the wheel but as soon as I plugged in my headset to the DS4, the wheel went dead. Any suggestions?
For some reason I thought it was 24+1 not 25+1 so I pitted a lap too early and had to save extra fuel on my next stint
My race went pretty solid. Qualified 3rd. Tried to stay in touch as much as possible with the top guys. I could even play with fuel map 2 a bit to make sure I made it to the pits 5+1 laps in. @Meister Fetz was able to overtake me in the first stint but he ran out of fuel coming out of the last turn towards the first needed pitstop. This gave me enough advantage on him for the entire race (lucky for me). From then on I could pretty much run TT laps on map 1. In the last stint I noticed I was catching up big time to @Espial but still was unsure if I could make it before the finish so I really pushed. Un fortunately for him he really needed to save on fuel so I overtook him quite easily. Ran out of fuel about 10m before the finishline.
Congrats to @Spurgy 777 on the win and to everyone for the nice and clean race.
My Ps4 came with a mic? I never played online until this game so didn't need it. I still have the box in the closest, maybe I will go see if I still have it, that would make me more interested in running with you guys if I have a mic.
Thanks, looks super cheap. I'll look for it tonightIt looks like this.
And it is. Don't expect much from it's sound quality.
I was off doing a C race at Monza but was still listening in the chat. Mike it was so funny when time after time with “expletive deleted” I’m not going to make it!!!! ...in a tone of OOPS not DAMN..came over the chat ....No matter how bad it gets you NEVER lose your cool... that’s why its so much fun to race with you....unlike others who rant and rave...myself included. GOODONYA....for your control.... NOT your fuel ⛽️ strategy!!!! lmao
I use a Kingtop PS4 Gaming Headset with microphone and it plugs into my DS4...this was super cheap during Black Friday so I could it test it out and see if I liked it for racing. Thanks for the suggestion about trying the mic that came with the PS4 as a test...👍 Also, I had the DS4 plugged into a USB port extender for this lobby if that would make any difference??

@Argon gave me a suggestion for a headset/mic...anyone else have any suggestions?
