A few months ago, when we had the same Willow race, we realized that the times in lobbies are slower than in Sport mode. I was doing mid 17s in the lobby, and upper 16s in race qualifying. Maybe the difference is the grip level.I forgot one little thing. When we got the SF '19 added, I remapped that button for the overtake function. So, I'll have to look into my settings & see where I put it.
I use TCS, so I can't complain about lack of grip on the rear tires. But I swear that makes the lack of traction from the front tires double. Yeah, I know that sounds obvious (I'm a math major), but I swear the tire models have gone through enough change since the last Suzuka/Gr.3/RH combo was run that you can throw half of my favorite cars out the window. Redoing those calculations, that's actually 2/3rds of my favorite cars. The only ones I can comfortably hustle around are the Corvette & Ford GT. But hey, I've won in both of those during the last combo.
F1 removes names, F4 returns them.
Agreed. I've lost count of how many races I was leading only to be concerned with second place in relative striking distance or me trying to set the fastest lap & miss a braking point & hand them a victory. I' ve adopted the "maintain the win" mentality. Don't go gung-ho for the FL, hit the braking points just a smidge earlier & avoid going off track.
I loved the Matrix driver passing people before the race started.
Agreed.
It's sort of a combo for me. I've just decided that Interlagos & Tokyo are no fly zones for me. Not only am I worse as a driver at those 2 locations, add in other cars & I look like a total beginner in their first race ever. Then, those other drivers are practicing for kamikaze school & I get knocked out of their way. That's just no fun & games are supposed to be fun.
That Catalunya race is flying right up on us. I did one test race so far to gauge fuel use & tire degradation. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I may test another car before the cutoff date. BTW, do you remember what your average or best time is at Big Willow? I'm just curious as to where I stand in comparison. I thought I was doing pretty well eclipsing @Pigems best lap, but somehow he waved his black magic during the race to dip into the 1:16s & my eyes bugged out.
See above comment.
You're not imagining it. Most "smart" TV's do a quite a bit of image enhancement / post processing before displaying the picture. This introduces latency. "Game" mode (sometimes has other names) leaves all the image processing to the source (your PS4 in this case) and just displays what comes through the HDMI cable. The difference can be as much as 40ms on some TV's.
That was great fun! Great race, you are fast and clean as well! I was hoping you'd realize I was content to just follow till late in the race so we could gap the field and it worked out perfectly. We had a 5 sec lead and a great 2 lap battle for the win. Great win!Race a is good this morning. Four deep, and all really clean. The guy i had the photo finish with yesterday or was it the day before..... anyway, he showed up for the last two, so its getting intense early.
I did a few at midnight last night with a few beers in me, and although i was sloppy i was still pretty fast. Podiums in each race and no contact of issue. Also was putting some 28.7's and 8's in race which is about my best race pace...
@Fudman420 in the next one, right behind me.... it was a great race. Your fast man! A pleasure sharing the track with you
. Kept it clean through the final two corners and just held on across the line for my 30th win 
It's Saturday weee
That was all SR.S at the start of the race. I got a BS penalty from a car trying to push me into the pit lane, then spun out in his efforts and hit the wall. Plus a whole bunch of SR Downs in the middle of the carnage. I was in 8th in the final lap, but the car behind me dive bombed the car in front of me, who assumed I did it, so started ramming me off for the remainder of the lap.... Not a single lap without getting hit, dive bombed in T1 already at the start lol.
Down to 86 SR after that race.
I'm sure the post-race discussion was productive.It's Saturday weee
