How do the expect us to play this game. OK that's out of my system, so I guess HP limit would be 590 HP. It's the highest out of all the cars I listed. The funny thing is that the 2 cars with 590hp are the slowest around the track.

ok, I'll update the combo post

Has everyone been able to find a car for the classic Japanese combo?

 

[racefan78]

I know I have. It shouldn't be a problem since we ran those exact same cars at Madrid a few weeks ago.

Weaver, I have a few of these if you need one. I will be running the same that I ran at Madrid

I'm good buddy, just making sure everyone else is too. The combos are pretty spread out this week which is cool. I'm going to try my best to make it tonight. Hopefully my connection holds out better than last Sunday. 👍

Any issues running with a truck @ Laguna?

I wouldn't think so. Why, are you planning on winning tonight?

Let's just say that I am not planning on losing

Originality killed me last week running the Peugeot.. power but no handling.

Yeah I could see that. It's cool to have a different car but sometimes the end result isn't very cool.

Let's just say that I'll be doing my best to "not lose" as well. Of course if it goes anything like Sunday, I'll qualify well. Then I'll nose the car into the first corner, swear about it, and wave to everyone as they go by. Then I'll get some crazy fast rage driving going, swear some more, and end up doing ok.

I think I'm gonna drive the Isuzu Pizza for the 350 pp race. MMM pizza.

Is that the one with the black hood? That was my pick too (mostly because it was the only one I had).

Speaking of pizza, I have one on the way...

 

[Chiochan]

It is like a metallic grey (cannon) with a red stripe, 129 ft-lb torque!

 

[AMWeaver47]

Wow, what a hot rod! I hope I can keep the tires from spinning. It might me worse than the TVR.

Somehow I doubt that, hahaha.

 

[AMWeaver47]

I may have to agree with you. Isuzu and hot rod don't go in the same sentence.

Edit: 200+ feet of cat 5 was donated to my cause today for an experiment. Let's see if this will make my connection more stable.

 

[racefan78]

Rooms up, Division 2, let's do this folks!

wow 200 ft!!!

 

[AMWeaver47]

Decided he wanted internet in the backyard... Long story

 

[AMWeaver47]

Double post...

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Reservation required?

Reservation required?

No, all are welcome!

 

[dylansan]

I'm on my way. I haven't done any online racing in a while and I'm itching for something like this.

I would say the experiment worked, thanks for the great close racing guys! ALL HAIL SNAIL!

 

[dabneyd]

Just wanted to post this cross-over close call.

 

[Chiochan]

What are the racecraft rules for that?

 

[AMWeaver47]

I think if you honk at them, you are off the hook.

I can't believe that nobody liked my combo. How much horsepower do you people need? Really the little cars were chosen just for the sake of fitting the track. I like the idea of a car that goes with the track, like big horsepower cars on a weird figure 8.

Anyway, the racing was great as usual. I had numerous occasions where I wanted to get by someone and they held a solid line that I couldn't manage a pass on.

I myself got upset and the frequent discos last night; man what a FUN BUSTER that is. My connection is usually solid, and given that Racefan was having issues I think it was a PSN issue and not local; no one was streaming anything at home last night.

Not sure if it was the frustration of the disconnections, but the TopGear experiment did not go well for me. I usually like the track a lot.

Did I slow you down Weaver? I kept it clean right?

.. BTW.. I assume that cars would ghost at the intersection; but that may not be accurate depending on the settings with collisions ON/OFF.

 

[AMWeaver47]

No it was fun chasing you around at Laguna. I think our pace was similar, I was faster through the corners and you were faster in the straights. I was right there just in case you choked but it didn't happen.
