Daily Races with Friends, Fridays @ 9pm EST. All Drivers Welcome.

Isn’t the Fiat basically the exact same as the Abarth though?

The Abarth is a Sport model. 1.4T DOHC

The new one is a bit softer. It has an 8v 1.2.

 

[Redneckchef]

That sounds like a horse thief mile race. Keep them all together.
Oh well, hope the races are good this weekend, I have to work so won't make it this time.

 

[DesertPenguin]

So all three bonus races will be with new cars? Let's use the tracks used in the trailer. Nissan was on Tokyo, I know that for sure

Edit: Just watched the trailer again.

Nissan - Tokyo - South Outer or Inner Loop are the best options for good races, and Race A is already using the shorter track
Aston Martin - Le Mans
Fiat - Maggiore GP II or West II. The shot has it going into the bowl hairpin in reverse so that's a dead giveaway.

The Aston looks like it's on Brands Hatch.

That's a bit like saying a WRX and WRX STI are the same ... or Canada is America .

 

[DesertPenguin]

The Aston looks like it's on Brands Hatch.

I don't think it's that, but I also don't think it's Le Mans now.

If you look at 0:07 (ironic lol) the rumble strip is blue and yellow. And at 0:27-0:29 there's more of that rumble strip and a TOTAL sign, but also as the video ends you can see a pit entrance on the left side of the screen. That's now how the pit entrance at Le Mans looks. So what other tracks have blue/yellow rumble strips?

Not sure as I'm outside. From one of the head-on shots, it looks like it's coming around T1 at Brands Hatch. Plus, each car are in its home country(Fiat Italy, 180SX Japan). The AM would be out of sorts in France, rather than England.

Happy Almost Friday Fellas!!

This weeks Bonus Races will be...

‘08 Fiat 500 & Lago Maggiore Centre, 6 Laps on SH Tires, Stock(100/100).

‘10 DB9R GT1 @ Le Sarthe, 2 Laps on RS Tires, Stock(100/100).

 

[Invisigoth]

Looks like I'll miss this week again. I hate real estate, real estate agents and "your budget is what?!"

 

[The_Tullster]

Looks like I'm out this week too, kids b'day function. Kind of annoying, already have every car and all in livery..

 

[roamingbard13]

I might try to make it after work again this week. I got home right as y'all were starting Race B, I think. The bonus races look fun though. I ran a few laps with the new Aston last night at La Sarthe and that should be a hoot. I don't suppose i can talk you into running the no chicane version, eh? haha

 

[Drummer79]

If your room doesn't fill up before I get there, I will race with you all!?

 

[Kevstah2004]

I never realised the AM where so long, just makes me think of the above.

And then trying to get you to go over.
Been there, glad to be gone from that.

Tonight’s Race Lobby is Now Open for Practice!

 

[Drummer79]

Thanks for letting me race fellas, good time! Apologies, but I was exhausted, had to go.

 

[Pigems]

Great racing last night fellas, that was a lot of fun! I think I had the most fun whilst trying to hunt a Bear named Pooh at Suzuka, great races man! I also had a few good battles to the line with @Granadier and a tandem jump with @sturk0167 that we’re wicked fun also.

All replays are now shared and tagged GTP and TPC, thanks again to all who came out last night!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

@NosOsH

 

[Granadier]

Top 10 moments before absolute disaster. That Aston is wicked fast without BoP. Even moreso in a slipstream. Really caught me sleeping!

Fantastic races as always. Had some fantastic battles throughout. Thanks again for creating and hosting @Pigems

 

[The_Tullster]

Looking forward to watching the replays
Sorry I had to miss it but family comes first.

 

[NosOsH]

@GOTMAXPOWER
That little tussle was epic, I was sad i missed the first race, and ended up losing it, a little after this, but this is the kind of racing that keeps you coming back for more again and again yeah? Always a pleasure sir when i can battle with you for at least a couple corners, until Im watching your tail lights that is... lol

 

[Redneckchef]

Almost Friday! Is Monza a dirty race this week?

 

[Rods]

I'll hopefully be back this week. Can't wait to be a deadset backmarker in Race C.

 

[The_Tullster]

I can be there this week, provided my DS4 doesn't misbehave. One of the kids has had it paired by Bluetooth to his iPad and it's been acting weird ever since.

Go into the iPad Bluetooth settings and make it “forget device”, it may help.

Makes no difference, however I have now insisted that the iPad bluetooth is turned OFF when not in use, hope that helps. Longer term, going to get one of these: https://www.nacongaming.com/product/controllers/gaming-controllers/compact-controller-ps4/
Only AU$50 retail at a brick & mortar store and NO BLUETOOTH
Edit: As a reference, US$1.00 is currently about AU$1.50 so AU$50 is currently less than US$35.00. DS4 retail is currently AU$100 ish

On the bottom of the controller there is a small hole. Use a gem or something to press, it will reset the controller. That might help

Thanks for suggestion, already tried that, didn't help (much). It may have reduced the frequency of issues, but didn't eliminate them.

 

[roamingbard13]

Bonus races tonight? I need a list of which cars I need to panic buy when I get home from work. (Unless it’s super busy like it was last week...then I’ll wave at the PS4 on my way to bed, haha)
