ARL Wednesday Nights - Gr4 Championship

[dartwuffy]

I am glad I decided to join in. I'm having fun in spite of being a lttle slow at times

 

[Nick Cannella]

@Jeff Castillo sorry for the mix up and not being able to find the room. I did accept your FR and sent you a message prior to the start of race 2.

 

[Nick Cannella]

Good racing tonight drivers. Results from both lobbies will be posted tomorrow morning.
For those that dont know, when we run two lobbies, results are consolidated and finishing order is determined by overall race time.
You may have finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc in YOUR lobby, but your overall finishing place may (or may not) change based off of the consolidated results.
Remember, you're not only racing against those in your lobby, your also racing AGAINST THE CLOCK .

Great racing tonight everyone! We had an amazing finish for race 3 in lobby a.

[BGCaligula]

My God man! I tried @SAMHAIN85, I really did .

 

[PApunk924]

Can't wait to get home and check out the replays from lobby b.

I know there was a lot of close battles in lobby a

 

[Neutty]

My God man! I tried @SAMHAIN85, I really did .

The man takes a sabbatical and comes in like he’s been racing the entire time...... what’s the alt account @SAMHAIN85

I'm telling you man, I raced last night like I was chasing a ghost in that lobby. Apart from race 3 where I was reigned in by some brilliant driving from @GTP_Guido, I thought I would be closer in overall time. Sam is an animal!

Haha, it was mainly Sam just getting a 20 second lead after the first lap in lobby B. So maybe watch the field from 3rd place down.

Honestly I love the track but with only 8 people in our lobby it kind of got a little bleh because it spread us all out too much. Too big of a track for 8 people. But what can you do? Lol

Its jw's fault.

 

[CPT_RowdyGiff]

I shot myself in the foot in race two twice and pushed too hard on the last lap in race 3. Could have had better finishes but over drove it.

You may be faster if you drive as if a ghost were chasing you.... lol.

 

[BGCaligula]

You may be faster if you drive as if a ghost were chasing you.... lol.

Usually I would agree with that logic, but I guess I assumed that even his ghost would be ahead of me lmao

my thirsty macdog stopped that from being through to 8th.... also i use auto and ive been seeing videos where using a manual is the only real way to save gas because of early upshifting. ive been playing GT to long to use x and square to shift, i swear my old ass hand will explode if i try manual with the DS4... haha been checking out that drive hub thing and my bday is coming up soon, so luckily in a few weeks i will have invented a totally new excuse for my slowness....

ohhh, now i undestand why......

Thank you Cali.
Race 3 was good fun. But I have no idea how you can go that fast while fuel and tire saving.
I vote for 0x fuel and tire wear!

 

[Moby45]

It was a good assumption. Lol.

He was a ghost in my lobby too...I never saw him. Hahahah

Try and map the shift buttons to the triggers on the ds4. Ive tried it and its a pretty easy transition

I mean when you watch race three you can see us have a good race for a couple laps lol until you passed me then that was that lol

Blame @Moby45. His strategy in the season opener made me start looking at the no stop instead of going all out lol.

It was a good assumption. Lol.

He was a ghost in my lobby too...I never saw him. Hahahah

I can relate. I swear the guy was present in both lobbies simultaneously.

 

[Moby45]

Yes, this does work pretty well. I use this mapping on "arcady" racing games that allow manual trannys. It is very intuitive and easy for your thumbs to do a quick flick rather than searching for a button.

I was in 3rd that race. Lmao!

 

[Moby45]

But I was going all out. Lol

The beauty of choosing the underdog car that is underpowered is better fuel milage.

 

[Nick Cannella]

Great night of racing drivers. What did everyone think of our first attempt at running duel lobbies?
