I resent all of this. I spent an entire evening and all the game credits I had (between last week and this week) trying out different cars and tracks and all people do is complain. EXCUSE ME for not being as fast as you. The '73 A110 is very close for me, only approaching the limiter if you make a perfect exit from the downhill or you overshoot the braking point. I ran 15-20 laps in this car alone the other night before making the decision.

Also, I didn't see anyone egregiously hitting the limiter outside the draft in the practice race last night. In the replay I noticed drivers would bounce it once right before braking and that's about it.

The lobby was great fun last night except my framerate drop on Bathurst with 16 drivers on the grid. Anything that can be done about that?

The racing at Fuji and Silverstone was very exciting. I hope my defensive lines didn't ruin the D1 driver's night too much. I've got lots of film to review now to see how I can shave time off my laps.

I'm sorry you resent my comments. I'm also sorry you didn't think about those that are faster than you and the potential problems they may have with hitting the rev limiter. I'm also sorry that you spent all that time and overlooked or ignored an obvious issue. There are plenty of guys faster than me so I'm sure they will have issues as well. Aside from that, if you are getting that close to hitting the rev limiter by yourself, what do you think is going to happen in the draft?

These are the kinds of things that anyone making a selection have to take into consideration. S.N.A.I.L. has a large membership of varying levels of skill. If you're going to be making a pick, it can't just work for you, it needs to work for everyone. Cars bouncing off the rev limiter don't work for anyone, much less everyone.

A few what?



In the XMB under display settings.

You know, a few gabes.... or games.... depending on what my phone is feeling....

First off, are you sure you test drove the right A110? There are two. One hits the limit before you make it half-way down the straight. The other barely struggles to reach it in the draft. Its more enjoyable than the collection of other cars I tried that either understeered every corner or bounced off the rev-limiter way too early. ...and I was trying to find something you guys haven't used yet.

Also, what the hell did PD do to my favorite GT4/GT5 car, the '86 Toyota MR2 SC? That was the first car I tested but they completely ruined the handling. The rear end snaps out on every corner. I thought they supposedly fixed the handling on MR cars...they must have missed that one.

One of my favorite GT5 Snail cars, the NSX RM, now understeers horribly in GT6. I can't choose it in the Drivetrain Challenge it's so bad. So who knows what they did.

Anyone down for a practice room ?

A real life lap around Bathurst at 2:41.4 which is around the fastest time I saw someone do in practice last night.

That was awesome! BTW, that Miata I am almost certain has a rotary engine in it...

I don't think so. It sounds like a Miata usually does, to me anyway.

Yes, I'm using the right A110, the '73 with the non detailed interior. It's on the limiter right at or just past the right at the crest of the hill. The better I get through the left before the straight, the earlier it hits the limiter.

We could go back and forth all day, my point is, cars that get that close to the limiter alone shouldn't be picked for racing. It shows either a lack of testing by the person making the selection, ignorance about what they are looking for when they test, or that they just don't care about making a quality selection.

I thought we had some folks who liked oval racing. Would this apply to that?

How does oval racing apply to picking a car that hits the rev limiter?

Yes, it barely hits the limiter , I'm sure lesson is learned ... Next!

Kind of off topic, but do you think that was a wise pass attempt by the Miata?

The Porsche left that inside line open and the Miata had much more speed in the turn. Looks ok to me.

I tried a MR2 the other week and it felt like a surfboard on roller skates. Totally ruined.

anyone else see this

Might be a reason to buy a PS4

Looks damn good.

Inside line was definitely kept open but you can see that the Porsche was way ahead such that it seemed a little iffy. Not to mention the Miata comes back out wide at exit, right in front of the car with quicker straight line acceleration. I'm just speculating though.

anyone down for a NASCAR race tonight?

I don't know how wet the track was, but it looked almost like the Porsche was giving the inside line to the Miata because he knew he was faster through the turns or he could have just slid wide due to the water. I can see that if there is a twisty section coming up and they are in different classes. Without knowing what is coming up or even if they are in different classes or if that was for position, it's hard to say.

If the Porsche was giving the position to the Miata then he should not have been there at corner exit. If I was in the Miata and was that much faster in the previous corners and saw the Porsche go that wide, I would think he was doing the gentlemanly thing and letting me go, especially if they were not in the same class or on the same lap.

There is a lot of information missing to try and make a guess as to what happened there.

No, I am nearly certain that car has the renesis engine, that is definitely an Rx8 gauge cluster, and considering the source of the video, rotaryg33k. Not to say they may not have videos of piston engines, it just stands to reason, considering...

As for the incident, without seeing more its hard to say, if the miata squeezed up on the Porsche then the miata took itself out, I think what is more likely is that the Porsche ran wide because he was getting flustered with the pressure the miata was putting on him. The miata dived back to the outside fairly quick, but not fully, so it may be possible he ran the Porsche off track a bit, the Porsche driver, feeling irritated that his almighty Porsche just got passed and ran off by a miata gave the guy a little nudge getting those couple tires back on track, and spun him up. I say this because the miata held his line and even came up off the outside a touch for a few feet before the impact. I guess I also expect people to wait, but that probably isnt something that happens in the real world.

For D6 it sounds pretty good. My best effort the other night was 1:43 and the D1 guys were running circles around me.

 

[Handlebar]

I think that I was running about 1:44-45 (when I stayed on track) with chatva earlier.

My guess is the miata misjudged when he was tracking out and there was still a bit of overlap between him and the porsche, he may have left the width of a miata but not the width of a porsche at the exit. But on a closer look, the Porsche could've been a **** and could not accept the fact that he was passed by a miata. The miata was starting his way to driver's right when he was tapped on the left rear corner.

Another possible scenario is that when the Porsche got back on the power on the wet track, he simply fishtails the car and in his effort to correct it, he catches the back end of the Miata and it's just an accident. Without being able to see the Porsche in the video, all we can do is guess what happened.

I think this is most likely. You can see that the Miata is running parallel to the line on the left for a few moments before he's hit by the Porsche.

Just thought I would drop in to wish all the S.N.A.I.L.S a happy Valentines Day and best of luck in the races this weekend!
