You guys are causing much woe and gnashing of teeth!!
RomKnight what did you do to that 640 to beat my record by 12 secs?!?
StarFirebird you are making my RX 8 cry..it does sound nice though.
And if I never see that Miami Bayfront track again I'll be happier.
I can't figure out to get more speed out of my D class RX-8.I'm around 2 seconds slower than yours.
I need to put this game away again.I've spent an hour on 2 tracks alone.I need to go spend my time watching a movie or something calming

Totally agree. Got rid off my PS version after the lag fiasco.
Playing Xbox version and hanging out on a primary PS forum lol.
Still having fun though.
(nice when you get a number one position on the speedwell with a scruffy lap, knowing you can shave more off when you need it)

At the time I asked the guy who was in 1st onthe speedwall that. He said yes so I used it too, otherwise it would be impossible to beat his times
Only for D class though. All the other times I'm doing have the cars upgraded to max within class but without nitro.
Got it. With D class I was 10-12 seconds off some of the top times, so decided to install some NOS myself last night and give it a go. I know Im not the fastest, but I knew I wasn't that slow. Only had time to replay the first 3 or 4 D class events, but moved up significantly on the speedwall for each of them.
Still waiting for one of you guys to beat my time on the Modern A Invitational. Im sure it's only a matter of time though.....

I mentioned this over at no grip, but I'll mention here... As you guys are into autolog.
PI does not seem fixed on loaner races, as I've just seen something rather odd...
Single type race, BMW 135i
I just noticed, although this is using loaner, the PI for people is different.
Varying from 653 to 723
AND , during the series, my own PI went , 682, 679, 701
What's interesting is, I was having alot of fun just racing, didn't care about the series result..
Which meant I finished 2nd, 6th (spin
) 1st .... Notice my PI went down when i did well, and up when I did badly.
I'm thinking its not only the AI changing due to your progress, but also your car!
( usually this is hidden, but this race has a bug to show it)
Thoughts ?

All I can say for sure, is what I ( and you) can see on the autolog for that race. .... Ive see on xbox, don't know if same bug is on other platforms.
The rest is theory, but there have been quite a few saying AI adapts to how well you are doing, I'm just theorizing it's the other way , you get a hidden PI boost ... And the bug here, is just it incorrectly using your boosted PI for the wall.
Note: this must be going on, as that PI difference is coming from somewhere, and I know for me, I didn't do anything other than race the series.
Also, note for the first race, its obviously carried over from other races, as otherwise on race 1 of the series we all would have same PI, and we don't,
Go have a look at your speedwell, and see if its similar.
( i checked a few other loaner races, and they all shows the fixed PI)

I'm betting this has to do with the adaptive AI feature. 3 PI points make absolutely no difference in car performance... the bug us in this showing those value changes I guess.
Anyway I've done events where I lose quite a few times until I finally get that 1st place not by much,namely GT3.
I have to check that but because I repeat the events a few times until times have been beaten (or I quit
) I think that will not be a problem. It's the same for everybody... or I completely missed the point (its possible)

I raised more as an insight, not a problem
I think it's interesting that SMS adapt your car, rather than the ai.
though bare in mind I've seen 70pi difference, not 3... agreed won't allow me to beat a fast driver, but between 2 equal it's a 10% gain.. and I've not proven thats the limit, it's just what I've seen!
note : it's difficult to test, as autolog only shows you pi on your best times, so hard to test systematically , especially as I've only found his display bug on the one event.
