Of course after Spa the bull at Ring seems easier and took advantage of warm fingers ( good car this drink)
Can't see me faster ,pity that loose 14s for some fractions ( but we have other guys for that)

Definitely I Don't dear Paddy ...... At rumple strip and if everything goes fine am on high 16s.
Just wanted to give a push to Sniper :D and secure that i ll keep Bryce behind me on this.
Am not that fast but am glad that am close to your times .

My white laps can be at 1.33 mid - high but not easy to copy every time with the pad .

thats
Awsome your flying thats a very cool sarry i quoted your pace!:cheers:
 
I bet that Sniper's Asparadrink are about to start shouting from the merciless treatment that gets from him.
I might give a last try at the end of the week ,hope that 15.10 is safe to keep Bryce back but i don't know what Mario can bring , is very fast also but what the hell ....... Just want revenge from Bruce Lee :D
 
Good morning to all mates.
I don't have any comments about school lessons , it is what it is some times harder some times easier depends on the car and track compination.
Just need time since a small touch - bump or whatever you must do it again.
I enjoy it many times especially at Spa smoking the Spira and at Ascari with the ALFA.
Just didn't find the proper time for other reasons to deal with it the last couple times.

As for the Arcade mod which Barnavas " hate" :lol: i don't see any harm than the fact that you can't get any credits from it.
At professional level and the aggressiveness of AI at 10 can produce the same or more competitive races than Carrier mod .
All depends how you shuffle the cards .
Since users choise event is on the game everyone has the chance to design an event the way he thinks and we can't " blame " him for that .
We might don't like it so much or find it hard or whatever but is an opportunity for everyone to design something that finds it interesting.

The only minus i find is that you need always to take a vid for it but this applies also and at carrier mod when certain rules excist .
That might be frustrating sometimes and i understand why cause happens to me also .

Kisses to all and enjoy the ride with what pleases you every time:cheers:
 
Well said @smoothbore12, the video thing can be annoying at times especially when you do a really good time and forget to video it, it's happened to me.

But when designing an event there's is nothing stopping everyone designing an event that doesn't need a video like the I MAY BE OLD BUT IM STILL FAST event.
I remember the days when the events had to be races that all rules didn't need any evidence (like the AI HUB days) this restricted the events a lot. When everyone here was able to do a video I thought, 'Hey if everyone can do a video that means we can set different rules'
this has opened up so much other races that can be done.

It has been great seeing what you guys come up with.

Speaking about Arcade Mode if we have to many events in that mode, how can I buy new cars for future events because credits are very tight at the moment, and are getting down down down.

That is a promplem , having not much credits or a good amount of cars is difficult ,thats why i said is a minus at Arcade mod.
Was planning to design a different event for the upcoming round but the car cost too much and considering that not all players have many credits i change it to something else , cheaper car and different ride.

One good way to earn more credits by watching tv is to put a b spec driver at like the wind and every 5 minutes put him run again and again while you can watch or doing something else.

My comment about Arcade Mode was meant as a joke. I do agree that in Professional Mode and AI aggressiveness does make for good competition especially due to penalties like the S class races. I just don't like arcade mode. I have run the current school race at least 10 times as I did Deep Forest before I had a clean race. The difference with the school is not about the fastest lap time. Anyone can run fast laps if you run over every AI to get to the front. Since I have seen many events in Arcade Mode, if I'm not mistaken the only event in Professional Mode was an event designed by @lfm58. No you don't win credits in Arcade Mode. What @smoothbore12 said about earning credits is true. I have done it multiple times to get back to max credits since I had to start the game over. Bryce requires videos to ensure the event rules are followed the same as Noel requires videos to ensure clean races. I don't believe that the USA and Australia are the only places that have smart phones capable of taking a video.
I do agree that the Skeag Racing School is difficult. It does require multiple attempts to get it right just like the time trials and fastest times. We have 2 weeks to get it right on every event. So I don't understand the lack of participation especially when you earn credits every time. No I haven't run any events recently except the school, but I have been committed to the Hub even when I was always in last place. Noel and I are the only Hub members that had to go to race car driving school to race in real life where your life was on the line every time you got in your race car. I don't believe that the winners of the Playstation competition that went on to careers in racing would have been able to do so if they hadn't raced the game like it was real life. That is what Noel's school is all about. By participating you do learn skills that you can apply to your everyday driving the same as those who went on to racing careers from Gran Turismo. I will participate in Hub events again when the venues change back to the many races available in career mode. Ultimately to each their own. I do believe you are missing an opportunity to hone your real life driving skills.:cheers:

That school lesson it's not that hard Noel of course is not an easy one especially when two 2js are in front with the Toyota 7 leading .
I start it yesterday and run it couple of times with 2 different fields ,the one with two 2 Js in front and the one with Toyota 7 ln front and two 2 Js following.
Worst part was the start of the race where you have to decide how many cars you pass .....one or two.
One is safe but two cars , 7 times in 10 you been hit by the second car or shave the barrier also.
Just need patience where you can pass safely and that depends on the car in front of you , some cars can pass them at Grand hotel turn which is extremely difficult without to end with a bump from behind ,some can pass them at Portier which is " forbidden " also etc.
Was close to have it " right " but i try to pass 2J in wrong sector and didn't let me without collateral damage :lol:

Just need to pick my field and " study" it especiall when you breathing at the back of the 2J and he put the pedal to the metal and start spelling : let's see what you've got Mister.
Patience is the key and trust at your car especially at brake zones.

@bjl23 i might be old but i can read two Paddy's times ,but the one is mine at Boogeymans challenge.

Don't know if i secure first time in div2 with Mario on my tail but for now my heart belongs to daddy !!!
Or i shall say to Saint devote , Massenet and Nouvelle chicane ?


Well said from @Racin510s , i agree 100% :cheers:

I don't need any @skeagracing Driving School Lessons, because I am peddle to the metal guy and sorry @skeagracing for not joining your School.
 
The no tune theres a 6:11 for sure maybe a 6:10 i dont have the time to finish and cant submit somthing that i didnt get clean! ill try again sunday.

Submit a " clean " and just tell us the " wide " one :lol:
No tune pass in another level now , Sniper's Asparadrink :crazy: is despert to put an end in his torture .

@bjl23 sometimes s.h.i.t. happens ,am impressed from Mario in this to old staff.

As about school lessons i respect every opinion ,for me is quite different from what most players use to do ( i put my self among them ) and just like to participate , might need more time to get it at an " untouchable " level but i like it and many times i enjoy it to the max.

Kisses to all , happy Valentine's day and see you at the rumple strip's .
Having a second thought , something doesn't fit above :boggled: , but what the heck ? Weekend is near :lol:
