Good morning fellow racers. Joining again @ XX:30.

Good morning to you aswell (and to everyone else of course). I'll be joining at xx:00 👍

Edit: Sorry to Jackington for th pushes in the first part of lap 1 in that race. Totally my fault :ouch:

Jackington and myself are in the races at the moment, keep in mind we are in stock California's with S3's so we will be off pace, we will try not to hold anyone up too much :)
 
Had some very good races last night in this event with GTP_mr-geez[PL], GTP_Vaxen [US], GTP_Sinsemila[AU], Colin21[FR], stpk[FR], GTP_rexc[NZ], GTP_Spiff[GB] and GTP_Strittan[SE]. Vax mate you were incredible in the California, I had absolutely nothing for you. No_one_Interestin[GB] was really amazing in his 512BB '76, truly competitive and a real challenge to pass and stay ahead of. And Sinsemila makes a habit of taking unfancied cars and placing them very high up the race, your 599 was awesome. A user named Roozster722 or something from the US, he was very very good too.

I was optimistic when people suggested the RBE was toned down, but I'm feeling it to be as strong as ever in this event.

It's been a pleasure being able to race all of you from the different regions again seeing as how Suz750 is now region locked. Sadly I won't be participating in this event in the near future because I truly truly hate the California, and while it is possible for me to win with it, it just isn't enjoyable for me. I can't get a happy tune with it which means I won't be able to squeeze that extra bit out of it (Holden? Dragonistic? Help? :D).

It's a shame the 430 isn't more competitive, I was driving on R1/R2 and it was an absolute joy. Felt I was holding people up a bit though. Sorry to all for bumps and scrapes, I was only 80% in control of that wretched Cali ;)

Also, like most users, my Cali's weight keeps getting set back to 100% and free run mode definitely has a reduced frame rate for me, almost downright jerky in places.

All the best
Maz

The RBE feels different to me.

It now doesn't feel like you ''lose'' anything when upfront. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th places are usually now more strung out towards the end of the race and the leader can usually lead an entire race without being caught (even me in my F430!)

Stick at the F430 Maz, I've got a basic tune that seems to do the job for me. I can't stick with the quickest of the Cali's but still seem to be competative enough to thoroughly enjoy the race!

Couple of people I've given my tune to now have said that it's made them over a second faster.

Offers there pal, be good to see you on this event.
 
That last race was awesome, 👍 I witnessed a high speed crash on lap 4, looked nasty. :)

Maz, check out the DC tune for the F430, It is superb, I can have a great race in it against the Cali's.

I might see how it compares to mine.

And see how I compare to you ;)

(on the circuit btw, before anyone gets any idea's!)

Yeah, that race was just crazy. I missed that crash on lap 4 cause I was first at that time and wasn't looking behind. Hope i didn't cause that crash:scared:.

The DC tune seems to be very good indeed, judging from your pace with it. 👍

About a few races back:
Did you just lose it at 130R or did I nudge you (where we both went off)?
 
at t2 in lap 4 i was 7th and ´only´ 2,7 sec behind the leader. 👍
but then i did my second mistake in this race. :ouch:
 
I'm gonna take a break now, my concentration is gone. See you guys later 👍

No idea, Can't even remember that TBH. :dopey: Too many races and beers. Great to race you again buddy. 👍
 
Anyone else drinking already?

I had a bit of trouble with that other yellow F430.

Think Rudi Raser did too. Don't think it was intentional in my case though, just my car was off balance deep on the brakes anyway...just a little judge and I was gone.
 
Thanks for waiting at casino Grim 👍

Matey in the purple 512BB put paid to my race in the end though

The purple 512 was probably me.

I don't recall what happened between you and me, but the brakes on that car blow and I need to apply them really early.

If it was something else I did I apologize.

Thank you Stotty, for passing me cleanly and not ramming into the back of me in the braking zones.

It was a pleasure to follow you fot a couple of laps... I love the 512, and you were driving it very well :)

I'm gettting pissed off with the weight reset bug... keep starting with 640pp ffs!

No It wasn't you unless you were racing under a different PSN and a US account. It was'nt a GTPer
 
Man I was the only F430 in that last race! :( Had 2nd place until the middle of 3rd lap and finnished 5th..

Yeah, I suggest everyone to watch the PP and be sure to have 650 before you go racing.

this is a great event. I did it from yesterday, when I first went online. And I just won my first online race! :D and it was my 1st race with the ferrari california! there wasnt a gtp member in it tho...
 
I was on the inside of turn one first lap, see only gtp behind. Do not brake early but get punted right of! Looks like people need to get used to the new physics...
 
almost a full gtp grid and yet still had bumper cars in t1, apart from that it was great racing!

Same here 👍. I was driving the F430 around Fuji before the events changed, cause I don't like the high PP races, but I really like the Ferrari event now and the California is just great :).

I'm done for today though. I can't concentrate anymore and keep going off :ouch:. Thanks to a lot of people for the good races today! I probably won't be back till tursday. See you guys then 👍
