Sorry Jase,

For the nudge on the first lap. You moved in front and I was late on the brakes.

👍

 

[GTP_JASE72]

No probs Grim .I was looking for you as I moved .
Just goes to show I can't multitask

 

[Racer_LP]

Nice couple of races RPM, sorry for the taps, little bit laggy my end. Dont think much to you using the green run off area's as much as you do, 2 wheels over yes, but you were completely over.

Same here. (see post number 1496 )

Joining at xx:30 👍

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Much puntage out there today

Much better this last race 👍 Nice fight aswell
I'll probably be on, yes.

Edit: Very bumpy start this last race.

 

[GTP_rpm]

The starts are very bumpy.

I still don't know how people are so rubbish at starts?

You got two ways to do it really, you either go for it, trying to avoid the carnage, or back well out of the scramble...and still end up getting hit anyway haha!

 

[Racer_LP]

I'm done for now (diner and stuff).

See you guys later

 

[GTP_Tzayed]

Two races and already I have no more patience. This isn't right.

 

[GTP_rpm]

What's up Tzayad? Lol?

 

[GTP_Tzayed]

What's up Tzayad? Lol?

Well its a combination of things.

First, people should be shot if they take shortcuts.

Same thing for going outside the track at the corner exits.

Second, absolutely no one is treating other cars as real people - people with real feelings and attitudes behind their own television. They are just pixels - that goes for punters and non-punters.

Third, people need to turn their aggression knob back down to 10. There is no need to screw someone over taking the inside into chicane. It just makes both cars slower, and then the victor has even less of a chance of catching the next guy's draft. There is no need to overtake someone at the end of the straight after T1 only to botch the next turn for 2-3-4 cars at a time.

And fourth, after four laps of perfectly clean racing, why do I get the touch penalty for someone else nailing me in a turn - while the entire race they have gotten by with everything but firing missiles at other cars.

And fifth, for some reason I am never as fast on the straight as other people seem to be. Maybe it is from them going wide at the T(last) exit, but it is driving me crazy nonetheless.

So that's what's bugging me. I'm sure you all feel the same way. I vote for waiting a full lap at the beginning, and at least having four laps of good racing.

 

[GTP_rpm]

I think RBE ruins this race for us guys.

I before Racer LP and Hyper UK pointed out, was using the green astro as part of the circuit here. Stems from my old GTR days. But once I've stuck to those rules it's not really slowed me down at all!

I'm racing people, due to RBE, that I should not be racing. But there's not enough of a crowd over at Suzuka pp650 or pp600 anymore to get a good race...

This can have 2 reasons.

1. maybe something wrong with your gears
2. maybe you are approaching the corner the wrong way

Are there any NTSC'ers up for racing at Fuji later tonight (around 9pm EST)? I saw RussRobit's videos from last night, and I'm feeling like I missed out!

 

[The Outlaw]

I might be down bro. I'm not sure if I'll be home at that time (might be out drinking), but if I am, I for sure will join you. 👍

 

[Animera]

Thanks to GTP_ButtonJ for a really good clean race. Thats what makes online racing worth putting up with the punters. After all, they never seem to get passed the first 2 corners.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Are people still racing.

Im in @ :15

 

[GTP_rpm]

I'll be on after MOTD.

 

[SteveO1965]

A lot of DC's tonight?

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Yippee, Won my first race with the wheel. Drove down the final straight with my arms held aloft.

great man 👍


don't you feel that the races are more exiting now you have a wheel. More real, more involved. You know what I mean?

Using the h shifter and clutch definatley adds to the realism.


Just been brought back to earth by 2 of the worlds worst punters. Everytime I went to get past them, they would deliberatley go for me.

Deich_Graf & nobbycoupe. Give them a wide berth.

I should be on by then,if not soon after.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Sorry Spiff for my antics with the punter on the main straight that nerly caught you out. He had rear ended me twice on the first lap trying to knock me off. So I taught him a lesson.

 

[SteveO1965]

What the hell? DC'd all night and when you get into a race the lag is terrible

 

[GTP_rpm]

Was alright for me earlier?

I'll give mine a go xx45.

Cam lad out.

God, I'm going to have to sift through a load of video's tomorow for the best of the bunch lol!

 

[MJH]

in at xx30

 

[GTP_Tzayed]

Grim, looked good with the wheel bud!

Grim, looked good with the wheel bud!

I might of looked good, but my gear changes were horrible that race, kept miss shifting.

Oh and sorry for the bump at turn 1 on lap 2. Missed my braking point.
