Is the F50 still competitive?Go to car seems to be the MkI GT40
No need to befriend the nerd when the cheat sheet will be distributed to everyone before the exam anywaysHaving tuning on in the online championships is the GT equivalent of befriending the class nerd to copy their answers
Readability issues now fixed:The event's white background seems to give readability problems - you have to highlight them:

There's also no news announcement about this, too.
Fair play and good looking cars. Seeing how and why it ended the way it did, I'd have called the bet null and void.Alright I'm done with my last dance liveries and the manufacturer that I'll be using for the Suzuka Gr.3 and Alsace Gr.4 race is...

You may wonder why Honda and well let's just say it was part of a bet which I'll explain here in this spoiler tag. Here's to hoping I have a good time with the NSXes and I plan to do the two races in my alt account.
So it all started during last season's F1 where me and my friend had a bet. The bet was if Lewis Hamilton wins the Drivers title my friend would then have to drive for Mercedes for the Manufacturer Series while if Max wins I would then have to drive for Honda. And since the latter won I then will be driving for Honda this year but on my alternate account as my friend doesn't mind it as he wants to see me follow through with the bet and hence here we are I'm driving the Honda NSX Gr.3 and Gr.4 cars for this finale.
Funnily enough he did tell me that its ok that I don't have to follow through with the bet as that happened but I went through with it anyway since I'm a man of my word and its useful for me at least as I wanna try and be acclimatized with the Honda NSX race cars.Fair play and good looking cars. Seeing how and why it ended the way it did, I'd have called the bet null and void.
Wait you didn't get DC'd? 😭Slot 4: 7 people disconnected during matching,
Slot 4: I was a little over 200 points away from 70K so it was time to put it all on the line on this slot. Qualified 5th, then I was naughty and false started, but oddly it helped with the launch of the car 😂 . I forgot to turn the aero up a little from qualy to the race so I was pretty edgey in the beginning and fell to 6th. Then Grove died, up to 5th, then up to 4th. Then on the middle stint we were catching someone on mediums, and although it was hard racing, I was almost put in the grass/dirty arear of the track numerous times. It was time for Senna warfare. Into the Cascio triangle I stuck my nose in and said either give room or go for a ride, well...... let's just say I held my ground and wasn't feeling any remorse lol. Came home 3rd and 70,599!
ROAD TO 70K DR
Slot 3: Fresh off a 2.5hr stint in iRacing I had some dinner before jumping on the 3rd slot, my first for the night. I had a pen in qualifying but was able to bump back to 9th at the end. Attrition played its role.....including me. Into 130R I underestimated the dirty air, I clipped the dirty outer part and was a passenger at that point, while in the process completely obliterating @OutlawQuadrnt 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ (again I'm so sorry dude!) Although it probably didn't mean anything at the time, I gave the spot back to Outlaw, and was back to 12th. Then attrition and sorts played its part again and it brought me back to 6th battling with my teammate for 5th. I actually thought about undercuting him, but he played that card so I was on for another lap on Softs. I just managed to get by him on the pit exit. We battled on and came home 5th and outlaw came in 3rd. Maybe cost him 2nd 😬

Sadly with me going to Florida the next two weeks, I will be missing the last two rounds, which is a shame because I love go-karts in GTS for some odd reason. But I got my goal and it's coming with me to GT7! XD
"he left me no choice"
did you watch your own replay? There is no one trying to force you off, there is a great battle where both of you show respect until you just kill him.
I am just commenting on what I see and it's a dirty move with a confession to top it off. The car defending is doing everything by the book.As in the draft model is so bad that I have to play hardball otherwise the Aston would just drive by me if I didn't try.
It's fine though, upset immediately post race but now it's like eh whatever. Roman's good. Don't make it into something it's not.

My goose was cooked with taking the softs in the opening stint and just not being able to bridge the gap to Grove and i think Rush as they drove away from the pack in the opening stint after going from like 9th to 3th in the first two laps. So at that point it was either lay down and get killed by the power disadvantage or try to make the most of it. I feel like I got the defensive toolset to where it might've gotten me a extra spot or two compared to where I landed at the end of the race. But the hitachi chicane having those tires in the middle of the island put me in a bad spot when I was left no chance to really turn in.Jus
Just out of curiosity, did you think you'd hold him off on harder tires for 5 laps? I would've given him the inside to the hairpin, played the long game on those behind me. You were in a great spot already.
And Roman, yeesh...you been hanging out with mkm too much. LOL. He was defending pretty clean. Annoying, but clean.
Well let's take a step back and look at it. Into the hairpin, a bit annoying spooking someone into the grass, but fair. Annoyed but fair. Into spoon I had a look but decided no. I did count that in one of the 3 strikes but I'll take it back. Like crashbroke said. Upset immediately after when adrenaline is still redlining. Now.....meh. Don't make a big deal out of it. But into 130R I felt it was a Verstappen like move and gloves were off in the heat of the moment. Could I have been nice and not stuck my nose in Casio, sure, and level headed me, or even if that was the first what the encounter I wouldn't have done it. I'm not defending what I did. It's just what's the context leading up to that and what boundaries are we going by? Verstappen or someone calm like LeClerc/Russel etc.I am just commenting on what I see and it's a dirty move with a confession to top it off. The car defending is doing everything by the book.
I'm going to be honest I don't even remember that . I was feeling terrible what I did to Outlaw and was just focusing on clawing back as much as I could.Slot 3: I skipped Slot 2 as that is also usually a round that's too stacked for me to do well, and I didn't feel like I needed the practice, so I hopped into Slot 3 and qualified 15th and finished 11th for I think 188 points in another quiet race (aside from nearly spinning myself and probably giving @Roman_GT23 a heart attack coming out of the hairpin - sorry about that!). This was less than the 200 that was my minimum goal, so again I went.
hahahahaha. This made me laugh. I know his reputation and yeah maybe. But, if you don't piss him off he's a pretty interesting character. I've been racing with him long enough he made me one of theirs. Idk it's an acquired taste I guess.And Roman, yeesh...you been hanging out with mkm too much. LOL. He was defending pretty clean. Annoying, but clean.
I think it could have worked if you qualified higher or got through the field quicker. I could have squeezed you at Spoon when you got on my inside but I decided it was way too early to be defending that hard and let you go. Seeing your pace I knew you were on a different tire strategy to me. I kind of get why you defended so hard before our ke-fluffle. Make me burn the softs too soon that the advantage is gone. Reason why I got heated and threw that move at you was I gave respect on different tires but I expected the same in return if the roles reverse. Didn't happen but w.e. Probably could have finished behind me and ahead of that one Dstinct guy but that's always in hindsight. I've raced with you like a million times drowning in the back of top split to know that you're not dirty. Just want to shake hands and move on. I have a ton of list on my shadow realm VIP list and you're nowhere near making that list.......gosh maybe I do need to stop hanging out with MKM so muchMy goose was cooked with taking the softs in the opening stint and just not being able to bridge the gap to Grove and i think Rush as they drove away from the pack in the opening stint after going from like 9th to 3th in the first two laps.

Also you're welcome for sixth in last slot @GTWolverine lol
Yea qualifying for the last two slots was brutally bad. A majority of those in the DBR9 were only holding on because the straight line advantage they had. Felt like a lot of peeps trying to outkick their coverage in the meta car that didn't know what to do against the alternatives or us vets of actual top split. Combined with the bad draft model it's just a raw deal with how the game has always been. Shoulda been like fourth in Q both times instead of just last slot, but what can you do.I think it could have worked if you qualified higher or got through the field quicker.
