I don't actually like Monza '80s by the way, feels like it'd just become a huge NASCAR style draft fest.

We should test GT Arena sometime.

I love Monza 80's, massive improvement over the modern one. It has way more flow to it (probably not best for these cars since you probably don't have to brake much). :lol:

You brake from 5th gear to 4th gear.... it's excellent because it provides for drafting. Even with the real slipstream strength, you can still make up a few tenths (4 or 5), which means that more emphasis is placed on running consistently than outright quickly.... It leads to the "draft-and-Chase" racing B spec is known for. This, as a direct result, can improve drivers, and their ability to make smart passes in order to stay in range of the other cars.

@nascarfan1400 and I figured that out today, while chasing Audi man. We were battling with each other without losing the leaders.


@ranhammerR34, welcome!

Thanks for the bump drafting, I just could not get momentum going today... Lol

I had a weird start, I also wanted the benefits of the bump drafting. I recall a 4 second gap between us and Ettick - one which disappeared and became like a half-second gap to Audi man. ;)

In the end, stuff like that happens naturally because these cars make the straightaways feel longer, and the corners shorter. :lol:

I :lol:'d when I realized that both Lesmo corners are flat-out though... :D

Same :lol:
 
I was still figuring out the track in non-Lotus 97T's so I broke a tad too late...

You fricking divebombed me on turn one... Had I not moved you'd've crashed us both.

YOU CANT WIN THE RACE IN TURN ONE!! But you can easily lose it.
 
I was talking about when I went off, I felt like I broke too early in turn one :sly:
 
Doesn't bump drafting involve contact? Is that acceptable?
Contact without malicious intent is allowed in many RACE series.

For example: formula cars don't do bump drafting well. Touring cars, sure. I'd say it's just a thing of doing it correctly - brake before the braking zone, to ensure that you can show down before pushing the other guy into the corner, lift off of the throttle if the guy gets a little loose, start the bump draft with a small bump...

It's acceptable to use bump drafting if the other guy also approves of it. Ryan, nas, and I bump draft in ITCC's main series, too. It's just an extension of the "agreement..."

Indeed. I made someone very angry from bump drafting them without their consent a while back :O :lol:
 
Bump drafting may only be performed between two or more consenting drivers. Don't push someone who doesn't want to be pushed.

Sorry for the awkward wording :lol: just be glad I didn't say "consenting adults"

So with the adults consent I can stick it right in the rear? :sly:
 
I'd only ever bump draft with somebody I was confident that they knew what they were doing and more importantly that I was confident in their connection.

Wouldn't be the first time I've been bump drafting only for the person to lag smash me to an almost standstill. :lol:

It's a wonder I have bump buddies :lol:
 
So, I'll be hosting a lobby around noon. Then, next week, we start going for points. ;)

I won't make it again, got Grandparents visiting this afternoon.
 
Hey guys, I might be 15 minutes late. I'll do my best, but the headlight modification I was doing got sidetracked by my dad, who now insists my stereo is not functioning as intended, which I admit is my own fault.

Yes, I like dubstep.
 
Update: more like 30... Guy not at the audio shop.
