I've ditched the controller all together. From here on out I'm guiding my car with telepathy.

Race update: learned how to move car through barriers...lap times falling fast!
@cheeb- My reign may be coming to an end. My driving style is truly not compatible with the 458. Even though last night was my first time in car...I'm not confident I'll improve enough to be able too safely pass fellow drivers consistently. If I'm in front I should be okay but my aggressive turn in when playing catch up was a real hindrance. I'll be practicing for sure.

you'll be invincible on Sunday then!If that's the case, there's a bunch of us in the hunt
I think a lot of you're 'fun' is the on/off nature of using the X button for throttle. I ease the throttle on a lot more with the 458 than the other cars we've driven.
I used the 458 to go up 4 or 5 levels, 34ish to 38, grinding la Festa Cavalinno Seasonal for cash and XP. I have a fair amount of seat time in it
I like driving it because you have to drive it, if that makes sense. You can easily induce power oversteer (regardless of tires) but you're able to save it at the same time. And understeer is negligible (depending on entry speed of course). Get it all right and it's really fun

Snap oversteer was the problem last night. I'll run 10-15 laps tonight and be ready to go for Sunday

I'm with you on that cyborg. I'm finding kind of difficult to ease that X button out of turns. That 458 breaks loose like a mofo!

You can try shifting early. I use a G27, but was shifting into 3rd early coming out of turn 1 last night. Especially on the first lap when the tires were cold.
ETA: Or maybe you use an automatic since you're using the controller, in which case just ignore me.

The track parameters for the rain battle will be 50%/50%/0. In testing this gave the feel I was looking for most. For those who don't know that's a severity of 50% (overcast and drizzle) with a saturation or dampness of 50% and 0 means it will not be changing. For this race only the grip will be raised to low and not real. The cars will be loose already and I don't want an off early in the pack to remove half the field from the race. The low group setting should make taking risks more inviting!
Zero - I was thinking of making this a stand alone thread in spot races or possibly clubs and leagues area. This will allow me to update one post vs having snails search here. Or perhaps you could link up my latest friday schedule on the second post of the thread??

Okay, thanks for making an appearance on the thread! 👍
I noticed you haven't accepted the Division1 invite yet, so just be sure to do that by Sunday night. You'll need to join that lounge on Sunday night and not my lounge. My lounge will have the Division2 races (and Division1 racers are not welcome!
)

Tonight's line-up looks wild, can't wait! As opposed to adding another link to the eye-chart that the second post has become, I've added it to the original post instead. I just figured it would stand out more there and not get lost in the clutter of the second post. Simply put, it would be easier to find. Also, I could just update the link in the original post any time you added another Diabolic Friday schedule and everyone would know where to find it quickly. Thoughts?

Evening recap: Zer0ive was AMAZING on Tokyo. We'd searched for the right words to explain his brilliance but he'd thought of them all already!

Haha!
It was a great time! I was late and missed the first couple of races. (Had to convince the wife she was done watching shows and wanted to read her Kindle.) I really enjoyed the car/track combos. Especially the Gallardo on Rome Reverse. Thanks, Diabolic.

Thanks spooble. The endurance race next week will be more of an Endurance. I'm thinking 10 laps on GVE-R. Sports Hard Tires with a car around 400PP. Have not narrowed it down yet, but I will.
