I HAVE to mention this man after a few amazing battles at 650 no mercy suzuka.
doctorben (US) - easily the fastest guy ive raced there, ended up lowering both my personal best lap time to a 2,06.6 AND race time to a 10,39
This event has produced some of the best driving talent yet seen in this game for me, and i cant wait till we have qualifying lap races, pit stops, damage etc its gunna be insane!!

Yeah I mentioned him a page or two ago. Pretty quick isn't he? Only ever seen him in a GTLM, and he owned the track most of the time.

Have to say it - there ain't no one I have met on this side of the planet who is faster than TiZzla. 10,36.xxx race times are just awesome.
I am just the camera man.
Well done mate

Well theres always a fastest car(s) for an event, so naturally people would choose the fastest car otherwise they would be at an immediate disadvantage to the other people!
I notice you (AERO_HDT) are always in different cars at No Mercy but you never contest for the lead in the races im in because ill be with the GTRs and EVOs at the front
Its not possible to become very fast with a car if you change every 5 minutes

Seems this NOBLE mentality of using lesser cars is a built in exsuse for not being fast,of course the fastest guys use the same car a lot thats how you become fast by working on setup learning little things every race.That is what racing is all about using the best car you can & becoming better at it. I didnt notice Hamilton or Massa changing cars every race.

what kinda backwards ass logic/excuse is this? isnt the goal to find a car you're most comfortable with and push it to its max? how do you expect to be at your best if you switch up cars every race? i'm not saying theres anything wrong with having more than one car for an event, if thats what you like to do then fine, do it, but calling the faster guys one dimensional because choose to stick to the car they're most comfortable with is a dumb statement.

+1000 👍 The only way to get to that next level of driving talent is by using a car you are familiar and confident with. If you are constantly switching cars, working on set-up and familiarizing your brain just so you can manage to drive the car around the circuit, you won't learn nearly as much about the circuit and where the most important points of the track are in terms of line, exit speed, braking points, among many other variables that separate the good from the best.
For me, once I'm comfortable with a particular car and have it tuned to it's best potential, it allows me to strictly focus on where I can shave off those extra tenths, which over time really helps to separate the really good drivers from the average in terms of overall track knowledge and raw speed. Some people play this game to enjoy the feeling of driving many cars they would never get the opportunity to drive in real life. I play this game mostly to improve my driving skills/talent, as todays racing simulators are so realistic it really could be said that the simulators are the best driving/racing practice for the dollar...along with a go karting. The simulators also allow you to push harder without consequence of crashing, which allows you to also learn more in a shorter amount of time. Although racing simulators like GT5P won't replace the real thing of course, you sure can learn a lot from racing some of the top names around the world in terms of what it takes to get find those last few seconds or tenths.
Well said bro... I wholeheartedly agree! 👍

I agree with the stuff about using the same car, however the reason I use the less competitive cars is because its more challenging to win and also because I get a lot more race action rather than driving off into the sunset and not racing anyone at all.
When private rooms and more organised races come around, I will of course start driving more competitive cars more often, because the actual competition will be at an equal level, but for now I'd rather try and get as much fun as I can out of the current online.

Probably said it before, people like Zabeu, RudiRaiser, Timppaq not raced in a while against them, but very fast and left a very good impression. People like GTP_Hun, Synwraith, Hyperuk raced against more than most, also left good impressions. And then theres people like DukeofPendle, not raced that often but pushes that extra bit out of me in time trial events Then there are those few who are also fast but leave bad impressions where they feel the need to get a win/up front whatever the cost to the rest of the field, these people will remain nameless.

I guess that's the idea behind using different cars every once in a while, is to have a race that is competitive and doesn't involve racing off alone.
I tend to use the Audi R8 a lot and I am very comfortable with it and understand it's strengths and limitations. After ten years of experience in GT, I don't need to spend six weeks using the R8 every single race trying to extract every last tenth out of it. I can find it's limits in a weekend of solid racing.
The problem is, I'm not always racing against GTP-ers and I'm not always in races where people are running 2'08s and running race times that are under 10'45.xxx.
So instead of tearing off by myself, I'll switch cars, or use something that levels the playing field, so to speak.
Just the other weekend, I had a great race with WIX-R and Zabeu and I'd just switched into the Audi R8. Pulled a 10'48 in the Audi and it was a brilliant race (Zab is amazing).
It was only brilliant because I was dicing with those two guys and it would have been a very boring race otherwise, because behind us three, the guy in fourth was over half a minute behind.
I have no excuses for not being fast, I have no need to prove myself.

Heh, old days. I can still recall several names from way back in April up until August that left a lasting impression, like:
magburner, rexc, AMG, vanuber7, Gnobody, Wayne, BJM, DONK, etc.
Those are the ones that I don't see anymore, there are many more who are still around today but obviously I remember their names more easily. Naturally the fastest guy I raced that I remember the most is going to be my Dutch Customs teammate, I will always remember the excellent drive to a 1-2 finish in the 3rd tuning showdowns the most. He knows who he is.
Truth123 didn't appear till around May or June if I remember right, so he wasn't really the "old days" but he is/was a legend anyway. I remember several races where he used to slow down sometimes so he could just race me as I was the only other person in the field who wasn't punting. I was never fast enough to beat him fairly though, but it was nice anyway.

That was a great showdown,
Thanks for the kind words buddy, 👍 Regarding Truth, We had a quick chat the other day. He was playing GT5P, I think he said GTRP had an event in the Cali, when the Ferrari event was at Suz. I did try and get him to join me in a few races in the Evora Cup, but he didnt show. He is playing Resistance 2 ATM. 
As for the fastest guys ive raced, Timo, Zabeu, Truth, Mr_Volcano, Sphinx, Mr_P, Fair_Play_plz, Bollocks, Fak_Evil, Rudi, Stotty all spring to mind. 👍

So he's sort of a GT5P legend now? I remember being the car behind him once and when i came to the brake point, he just kept going. I thought i'd see a cloud of dust but the only thing i saw was a disappearing NSX. With a name like Truth123 it's almost scary
