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

[roamingbard13]

I have to be honest, I was worried to give it a go past @Invisigoth as he seemed nailed to the racing line. And there is no way past there off line unless you have a big head of steam. Replays look nice. Been saving clips tonight for some fun. It was a pleasure racing today knowing no one was out for blood and penalty mayhem . . . Unless we were blocking @GOTMAXPOWER from leaving us all behind.
Think @Pigems and @roamingbard13 had that sorted.

I'm really sorry @GOTMAXPOWER . I thought I saw a squirrel or chipmunk running across the track, and I hit the brakes and swerved to avoid him. I think he lived, if it's any consolation.

Noticed that the stream still only has two or three voices from party chat. On investigation, there is a PS4 setting Sharing & Broadcasts > Audio Sharing Services > Share Party Audio. If not checked, your voice wont be shared even if the person streaming has chosen to share party audio.

I'm usually safely out of Pigems's way during these races...no need for there to be verbal proof of how much I mess up.

Or my discussion of upcoming squirrels.


In all seriousness though, Tokyo is much more fun with y'all than in the daily race mayhem. @The_Tullster and I ran two wide through a big chunk of a lap without touching each other, and that is something that could never happen in the daily races.

I'm glad my wife went to bed early and I got a chance to race with y'all last night.

I thought the lady on the sat nav had told you to take the wrong exit, squirrel makes much more sense.

It's thanks in part to @Pigems lobbies and this group of people that I've learned the racecraft necessary to do that. Props to everyone who joins in and thank you.

I not suggesting any obligation to change the setting, only providing information for those (me) who's vanity is injured by their (my) inane chatter not being in the stream

Sounds plausible to me. I always have to come to a complete stop at Nurburgring because every friggin time I race there, some little old lady just feels the need to pick *that* time to cross at the crossing just after Bergwerk. Next time you are racing at Suzuka, pay careful attention to the approach to 130R. I swear every so often I see something wizz across the track. I don't know what it is, but it looks like a ferret or something .

Had it not been for this group of drivers, I wouldn't be able to pull off sweet moves like I posted from Beardo's race last week. I suck with Porsches, but was able to keep side-by-side with a better driver & eventually pass him back....right before I made my trademark spin-out. It's good to know that we can organize some racing without the frustration of the dailies.

 

[Granadier]

Sorry about all the bumps and bruises last night @GOTMAXPOWER. Tried my best to avoid your car, but I swear you must've turned it into a giant electromagnet or something.

And who do you think released those squirrels there? Who's fast enough to do that during qualifying? Who's GOT the required POWER? I think we know who.

 

[Chevy Heavy]

Great fun last night, thanks again to @Pigems for hosting. I'll have to check that setting @The_Tullster , I wasn't aware of that. @Invisigoth your race pace is definitely improving. Sorry for any bumps last night, I may have qualified for a DUI by the end of the night. One moment in particular I remember I almost took out @DesertPenguin and someone else going into turn 1 at Fuji. Don't know how I avoided them and still not spin myself out. I swear that Lambo was possessed and wanted to kill me.

 

[Invisigoth]

@Invisigoth your race pace is definitely improving. Sorry for any bumps last night, I may have qualified for a DUI by the end of the night.

I just assumed you were bump drafting . I think it just appeared that my pace had improved because aside from a couple of failed attempts at race B, I've mostly been doing race C, so I was a bit more familiar with the combo. That and to stay off the walls you have to kinda weave from one side of the street to the other to get in position for the next corner... there arn't as many places to pass. I think it might have been easier if penalties were on and the penalty zone was in place .

 

[Redneckchef]

So yeah, here's what I have been faffing about with instead of really doing any racing. I definitely need to edit more to the music, and probably need to give a credit to @Invisigoth as he seems to be in there a lot.

Still got another song to use up for another one, might need to check the Monza week videos for good bits.

Holy crap you made us look so good.

That was Max drifting the black Supra? That was wicked. My mouth dropped.

Yeah, tried to catch Max drifting a bit. That was the beat one he held. I cut a really wicked one that he lost at the end though.

I do nothing about making ya look good, it is lots of really good driving, and GT Sport having a nice replay.

Might have to re edit a few replays since they are up each week. Just need to keep my collection of more obscure songs handy.

I love how in the middle of the Mini race a BMW comes by, and between all the Supra's there is a Camry...
You even made the Mini race look good, a race I tried once and backed away very carefully!

 

[The_Tullster]

@Pigems which cars do I need to do liveries for the bonus races?

 

[Chevy Heavy]

The Chaparral, Fugu Z, & Maserati. He hasn't posted what the track are yet. I just looked and I didn't have the Maserati. I hope the Chaparral race isn't on Big Willow. Or I see @Pigems and @sturk0167 using them as flying suits, the inspiration for the car.

 

[The_Tullster]

Not fussed about which tracks, only want to not be rushed on the liveries. I might have to do a few laps in the Chaparral though, that thing requires some adjustment time

 

[Pigems]

@Pigems which cars do I need to do liveries for the bonus races?

Mr. @Chevy Heavy is correct, these are the Bonus Race car for tonight.

Chaparrell @ DT Seaside, RS Tires, Stock 100/100.

Maserati @ Sardegna Road C, SS Tires, Stock 100/100.

Fugu Z @ BMB Infield A II, SM Tires, Stock 100/100.

That first one is going to be comedy gold

The chicane of death isn't scary enough, let's try it face first with a laser up your ass.

I'd like to see someone claiming to do the CoD / bus stop without lifting in this car I'd want to see the replay of that attempt.

In an attempt to not be totally out of control, I've run a few laps... that drive system makes for some interesting cornering strategies...

I have some choices to make prior to my participation tonight, haha. I drove maybe 3 laps at Alsace and 0 laps at Spa. My current thinking is to slide in late and wing the bonus races, but we'll see how much work I get done this morning and how much dick around time I have before I have to go into the brewery tonight.

 

[Invisigoth]

Looks like I'm gunna miss a good set of races . I've been put on an artificial time crunch to move to my new place, so this week and next I'm bouncing between here and the new place loaded up with the crap I've accumulated over several decades .

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'm gonna pop in again tonight. What are the two one-make races for A and B? I'm not by my PS4 at the moment

 

[Drex124]

Peugeot 208 at Alsace and the '19 Supra at Spa I think.

The Peugeot 208 and the 2019 Supra. The Supra has to be upgraded to N400. If you haven't driven this at Spa yet, I'd suggest a few laps of practice. It's a handful at first, but is fun to throw around there.

Edit: A photo finish with @Drex124.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Eh, too many road cars. Maybe I'll pop in for the Gr.3 race

Good tip. I might listen to it.

Speaking of Supra. This interview with a very well known tuner is pretty negative. To be fair negative about all modern Japanese models.

[DesertPenguin]

You guys do these races and sport mode so much so I have a question for you. When driving a lower powered car around 250HP where momentum is more important, what tracks do you know work best for good racing?
