It looks so....current Indy Car....which I admit I do not like. But for some reason it looks good on the F1 car ;)

Did some laps last night with Jaxon, Cheeze, Zii and Alex....thinking qualifying laps will reach into the 43s by the aliens. I was able to hit mid/high 44's with low fuel and soft tires without a perfect lap. My fuel was at about 2.8-3.0 liters per lap. My normal lap times will probably be in the 46-48s. It was suggested that there would be 25-26 laps?

Cheeze convinced me to sell my house and buy PCars Dash...which is a damn cool little app. Lots of info...not sure how I will be able utilize it during the race due to my poor ability to race and grab my ipad at the same time ;) If you saw pics of my custom rig on the previous page you will note that I failed to include an ipad mounting system. But during practice last night it was quite useful for fuel and tires.
 
Online lobbies were crashing again today late afternoon, same as yesterday. We did race ok last night so hopefully the same this evening.
 
Just a minor issue...seems like we could finish by 11pm instead of 11:30pm. Starting at 9 we have 105 mins of actual racing. First race should be getting done by a tad after 10pm. Then another 45min race. There's a lot of dead time where I think everyone is ready to race but the conversation goes on. It's hard for some of us east coast old guys to hang sometimes :)

I think we are all veterans here...we can probably tighten the night up by at least 15-20mins I'm betting.

I agree 👍
 
Are you guys dead set on the full damage setting? Getting tired of having my night affected by dumb stuff. I know we are "simulating" but unless it's your actual car on an actual track people will never drive like it was their car in the game. So lots of us suffer by driving half dead cars around due to some tickytack contact.

I like the GT6 damage setting where it only lasts a little while.

Just venting...hate losing because of "virtual" damage.
 
The full damage setting can certainly be a pain. When something happens that is not your fault and you incur damage it basically ruins your race. Last night in race 1 I had to go off track to avoid hitting someone who was on the brakes early. It caused me to spin and hit the wall. The damage and extra pit ect ruined my race. Race 2 at the start I spun out of second place and hit the wall again. As it is you get turned around and then wait for every car to go by so you are now in last place. To me, that is enough of a penalty, but I had to go to the pits to fix the damage and was then 1 1/2 mins down in last. My race was then done. I know in real life if you crash, at the start or whatever, your day can be over, but we do this for fun and when stuff happens like last night the fun is taken completely away. That's why I did a "half DP" and retired to the garage to sip on a whiskey and watch everyone else. At that moment it was more enjoyable than driving around in the back with no one to race with.

I feel your pain almost every week,I think there's some tweeks that could be made,just my opinion
 
I too have had races ruined by damage caused by other people, it sucks. I would have bailed far sooner than you Steve.
How about that start in the first race? I lost 4 places in the confusion of having to restart or not. We should have restarted imo, not because of the dirty stinkin cheater we all know Sgeti to be jumping the gun,lol, but to establish a protocol in the future about what to do when there is that much uncertainty at the start. I heard the California surfer dude say, "I'm in first, no restart", by that time it took all of my awesomeness to finish middle of the pack where I belong.
It was a fun night of racing though until things got spread out, then it was just running clean laps. My best battle of the night was with Surfer Dude.....I kill myself sometimes.... we went a bunch of laps back and forth tilll I messed up and waved by by to his back bumper......till he killed his car, still beat me though.
 
Especially having kids and storing fuel...

Yeah, for sure. Really gotta be able to focus with that stuff. I miss it though. One day I'll pick up a nitro tourer for Toledo. Maybe, but probably not...
 
I understand you guys want a change but do you have any idea what the rest of the world thinks of your new president!

Double posting so I could get a TOPP.
