Hey..MAN.. why you do that!!:nervous: NONO.. is a part of racing. crap happens.đź‘Ť Yea I guess i`m fast in that Mine`s..
 
hehe grandprix your pretty fast in that f40 im impressed i was the silly tuned viper that was all over the grass. hours and hours of racing in my f430 then i get in that beast and BAM a gtp'er shows up ... just my luck rats!
 
Just had a bunch of good races against only 1 or 2 other guys at HSR PP600. One guy was named barbarian4484 or something to that effect. He was in a Vette ZO6 and I was trying out my newly bought Ferrari F40.

Man that car is a blast! But oohhhhh I need to do some adjustments to it, I cannot get myself through the s curve smoothly without slowing down waaaaayyy too much.

Anyway, I won a few, and was competitive in the rest. And it ain't bad when the worst you can do is win 20-18K lol!

These guys raced clean and were pretty good, for once I had FUN racing online. But my driving skills and tuning still need a LOT of work. :)
 
That schedule looks great Earth. I like how you kept Daytona Road, Suzuka and Fuji all back to back. :) I agree that it should be a daily schedule!
 
In case u were wondering why I had the slowest start last night at Fuji pro and only came in like 8th was because I had ZERO aids on my car....o well, maybe next time I'll add something, lol. Great to race with ya GTP'ers tho!

Yeah, it's VERY hard to keep up with no aids on when everyone else is using them. That's why we're hoping Polyphony will add "Hardcore" online races with pro physics and no assists whatsoever. I usually keep ABS at 1, Traction control either off or at 1 and Active stability off, but I'm working hard at trying to get to the point where I'm faster with them all off.
 
I was playing this moring and i seen someone that had a (GB) tag by his name, I thought it only CA and US that could race???

I think it's split up by what version of the game you have, not where you're from. I've raced against some JP drivers as well.

It was good to see you out there at Fuji

I use in-car view ONLY, no racing line and no aids except for TCS at 1...I admit, but it does not make exiting low speed corners a piece of pie. In the Ford GT you still have to be very smooth on the throttle on the exit of slower corners. I don't use ABS because I think it puts you at a huge disadvantage. I'm not afraid of ABS, I have years of running no ABS in NASCAR 2003 by Papyrus, remember in that game you raced 800 HP 3400lb stock cars racing down straights at 190mph on road courses and you had to slow them down to 65mph for some turns without ABS...alot of skill needed. I will move on to no ABS as soon as it puts you at an advantage like it should. until then, no

I think you finished 8th because your car only had something like 650pp points, and these are 700pp races or maybe you were using ABS too
 
hey is there anyone racing now?? Hey Earth on the schedule maybe we can do more to it. like moring, afternoon, evening and overtime schedule..:idea:haha
Cause doing to working schedules and time zones.đź‘Ť

Haha if they create "Hardcore" races, you will dominate for a good week or two before everyone else gets used to driving without assists.
 
I also race with no assists except ABS at 1. I tried ABS at 0, but it lengthens braking zones enough that it could cause problems online IMO. I also only own "stock" cars right now; maybe once I buy a tuned one I'll switch the ABS off for the sake of realism. I also love the feel of modulating the throttle on corner exit to keep the car where you want it. It's so satisfying when done well, especially in the higher powered rear wheel drive cars.

That's my problem with no ABS as well. ABS allows me to brake later and harder almost all the way to the apex, which I know is bad in real life, but when playing online, it helps me avoid getting punted from behind!

That's a technique I never knew about, but I LEARNED it on my own through GT5:P. That says a lot about the realism of GT5:P because I play rFactor and GTR as well and I've never had to use that technique before!
 
Hey everyone. I'll probably be out with you guys in the 9:30 to 10:30 range.

One warning if you guys see me out there. I tend to brake a liitle early to set up my corner. If you are drafting me keep this in mind. I am not brake checking anyone!

Also, I'm bringing out a new car tonight and I'm still trying to get the set up right. It's the DB9 and it is maxed out at 666pp. I'll stay out of your way until I get a few races in with it.

Yeah that was another thing, I was 50 points short, haha no ABS no nuttin' But I will try tcs at 1 in an actual 700pp car tonight đź‘Ť I didn't even know about the schedule until this am, I was just at the right place at the right time, lol :dopey: It was my first online pro races too and I didn't think 50 points would matter THAT much..heheh NOOB mistake! But when I saw all the GTP'ers I didn't want to stop and change cars and miss ya guys, so I was kinda stuck :/

That's some bad English on my part, to clarify I drive with ABS ON

I will continue to drive with ABS ON until either hardcore races are introduced that turn every AID off or the time comes when they patch the game where you can stop faster with ABS off

In NASCAR 2003 drivers with ABS turned off could stop much, much quicker, but you could also lock up your tires if you weren't careful which would make you slide and burn up your rubber

Good idea I will have to work on that
 
I very much enjoy this schedule. Just hope we won't get thrown off too much by hosts disconnecting.
One other thing guys... I really have to stop racing at a reasonable time tonight... :) i'm exhausted and it's only tuesday. If u see me after 11.30 do me a favor by telling me to get lost! Haha...
See y'all later!
 
I'll try and get in on some of these races, but my WoW guild raids from 6 - 10:30pm Central M-Th. So I'll at least be there on the weekends!

You said it brother!

My wife hates me, even more, if that's possible. Wait until the real deal hits next year! Ha!

I'm adding what my favorite saying is because it is what I tell her everytime she asks me when I'm going to spend some time with her... "Just one more race dear, just one more."

See you guys tonight.
