Was 10 points ahead going into the final race when this happened:

Then, as a result THIS happened:

Lost the tournament by one point.

Not good for you, and nothing bad intended, but that's awesome!

Totally agree, I could have simply restarted the race but that was missing the point. I was pushing the kart in humid conditions when I could have coasted and collected the gold trophy.

Will teach me to be careful next time.

Am I right in saying though that this isn't quite the case for PS4/SB1?
Thought I read somewhere the grid cap was 28-30 cars on consoles?

You're wrong fortunately.
Grid limit in SP is 45 on all platforms.

How can that be true? I watched a twitch stream earlier and the guy had 56 cars in the field on LeMans.

PC version? 56 car grid was possible during development. Don't know if they kept it but it wouly be awesome indeed!

 

[psychoazubi]

Yes, PC version still has 56 field grid at least for LeMans..I think it's the only track with enough pits

I think Spa has 56 grid size too

 

[psychoazubi]

Nope, "only" 35. Just checked

 

[legatoblues]

Nope, "only" 35. Just checked

Seems like they've only covered one of the two short pits at Spa, rather than the combined...

For console that is beyond awesome, very happy to be wrong.

 

[Brend]

First championship!

Where to go next...

 

[UkHardcore23]

My pit crew are hopeless, Got a bolt stuck in a wheel for 40 seconds! Went from 2nd to last!

Then a different race i had an electrical fault in the pits which kept me in for a further 25-30 seconds.

How do the invitationals work in career mode? Do I have to do something to accept?

No, just need to skip them if you don't want to play.

 

[flooderqb19]

Ok thanks

 

[TheClarky]

Literally itching to play the game but my better sense is telling me to wait until the AP exams are over. Damn, self control is hard.

My windscreen wipers stopped working half way through a wet race at Silverstone.
I didn't think mechanical failures would include that!

For real?? I never had that..

Wipers depend on how hard it's raining, I think. If it's not raining down "hard" enough, the wipers don't activate. It's kinda weird.

Wipers are not automatic as far as I can tell. When the rain start you can activate them or not if you want. I mapped a button on my G27 for them but if the rain comes I am the one pressing the button to activate the wipers.

So no, wipers don't depend on nothing more than just you.

So since everyone seems to be stuck to the career mode like glue (it seems), curious where you guys are at. Which season, which division, what path you took, what difficulty, etc.

I've played so much offline racing over the last 3.5 years that I'm trying to spend most of my time online, but without a group of clean racers it seems like a task that is difficult to enjoy ever since the game has been released into the wild.

 

[Animera]

I'm starting season 2, super karts. I'm playing on pro, and I keep changing the AI difficulty to make it challenging as sometimes it's too easy to beat them while other times they drive like possessed demons. Having heaps of fun though.

 

[WarriusZero]

I'm not starting a career until I'm comfortable with the basics (mainly FOV and FFB settings).
There is so much to get acquainted with. So far it feels like a first date.

 

[bleeder]

so far i've only completed the first 2 rounds of the Clio Cup and it's been really good fun. great little cars that can be thrown around without too much worry. a very good start to my career

Exactly the same here. They drive really well with the controller, I'm even a tad faster in them than with my wheel.

 

[UkHardcore23]

So i won the Clio Cup season, Did not read the contract offers right...Thought i was joining Ginetta GT4 team instead i joined the Ford Mustang GT4 team and the car is disgusting to drive, Really struggling with it and not finding it much fun at all

Also im not really finding the road car invitational's much fun either as most cars seem horrible to drive especially the Ruf, R8 road car has so far only been the one thats fun to drive.

that's probably fairly realistic. I think the road cars are meant to be like that, which is why I'm glad there aren't too many of them. don't think I've even taken one out for a spin yet other than the Atom and BAC

 

[Doomstorm16]

Does anyone know how you go back down to a lower tier? Im in tier 2 but want to do a GT3 season. Any ideas?
