Is nobody watching the practice sessions for the F1 this weekend? That’s what I’d be doing if I had the day off.

That's precisely why I won't be on track for thext hour and a half :D

Who am I kidding, I'd be watching it at work too...

All the best

Mightily slow compared to some of the times but my best - race in free air 2'20.387, not bad for D4 on the pad!
 
Just too many good races today with far to many people to mention, you know who you are :)

:cheers:

My first time racing online in months. Was very rusty at first but got a bit better. Was really good fun though, thanks guys.

Matt.
 
Thanks for the fantastic races today Dan, Heiko, Andy, Phil, CT, TMGuardian_FINN, KOR_Hellrazor, KOR_Dillinger :cheers:

Best free run for me from the last time this event ran: 2'1x.xxx

I'm sure I can take a tenth or two off that with a few more days on this 👍

Nice racing yesterday evening guys 👍 tho I had to swap the BB for the Aston to keep my wheels on track most of the time :D
 
Good racing is going on right now.
Ran a new pb in clean air: 2'16.965 :)

Edit: Wait, make that 2'16.904 (total race time 11'33.133)

I'll probably join you guys a little later on. After the new event update I'm stuck with two great events to choose from (800PP Fuji and 550PP Suzuka) :sly: Which always makes transitioning from the two extremes a bit difficult :scared:
 
Wow, this has really brought out the best in GT5P onine racing again. Had unforgettable races with Jack, PASM, DanHyperKermit, Timeattack, Alexi, Eriba, EDK and Superwally today. Breathtaking 3-wide situations into turn 1 and Casio, what a thrill. I think this could now easily be called the best event we've had in GT5P.

It's a little bit of a shame others who popped in to race a 512BB didn't share the same etiquette. Honestly, is it really satisfying to win a race by pushing your closest competitor into the grass on the run up to 130R? Or edging them off the road in Casio?

New best freerun lap: 2'1x.xxx 2'1x.xxx. Hoping for more than a microscopic improvement over the coming weeks.
New best lap in race with slipstream: 2'1x.xxx

All the best

Thanks for the races you two :cheers:

Just did a new PB in free air: 2'16.xxx . Can definitely see a few tenths more if I can get a better run through T1 👍 Did that lap off a rather crappy 1'00.2xx T1

Hi guys I think I have a race tune. I'm feeling brave and I'll just post it, it probably sucks.

Help is welcome.
 
They are all just trying to depress us :lol: ... successfully!

Well if this helps to bring your spirits up, I was using your tune :sly: :lol:

Haven't had time to try any others yet or to produce my own though...so can't say how it compares :)

No buddy, that does *NOT* bring my spirits up half an inch!!! It robs me of my last excuse :scared:

:lol: kidding oc, it is good news in a way, shows the tune can't be that miserable, I bet you'll find a tweek or two for sure, but I won't worry about that until I'm not better than 1,5s off your pace! Practice.... practice....
 
I'd say your tune is pretty damn solid Ren 👍

Just did a few laps in free run and came up with a new PB- 2'1x.xxx (replay saved) 👍

Had another crap T1 though: 1'00.164 (slow through T1 and degner 1/2). T2 wasn't all that stellar either.

I'd say my limit with the current tune is probably about a 2'1x.xxx...maybe a 2'1x.xxx with some luck 👍 I'm not sure how much is left in the tune if anything atm. Will do some testing later...
