pigboy race report-up at 4:30am to begin preperations.qualifyed well with a 1:11.2~~
1st part of the race i was turned rounbd first corner,engine damaged and 3 corners red.Other cars were slowing,then going fast,then slowing enough to pass easily,then it was cancelled because of lag annoying the drivers who dont usually suffer...2nd start was o.k.,was following pagey into the first corner when his car luanched on 2 wheels and went into the barrier as if he had been hit but there was no car there??next corner i was put into the barrier,i wasnt looking backwards so i dont know.Race was cancelled and we all decieded it best to have no race because 1 person wasnt there.ill have to do some tests at daytona to make sure its ok there.......i will try

2 people couldnt join the public lobby and kept getting error messages. Sandman was offline and it was too late for sakery.
It was a huge cock up tonight and totally 'undriveable' we had no choice but to call it off
Sorry PB but it was the first ever red flag in about 35 race meetings

 

[PIGBOY]

I dont know whether to reply here or edit my previous message...famine is on the prowl,thats all....ill try it here but might be lambasted for it.
Why not have an alternative track,like high speed ring,if we find a curcuit undrivable.then we wait for all people to join.i love open,wide tracks,makes for good racing.Ive seen nethereal leave a room and we didnt wait at all in season 1
thats all folks

I knew something was up before the race with the positions when we lined up

 

[SkateNj]

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

In lounge set eg f1, go on track , get someone to change to unrestricted, done.

Yeah...... Also when I was watching qualifying I knew there was glitches when I could not watch individual cars making their hot laps. All I could see was the times.

It really must be frustrating for those who try super hard just to be taken out by frame rate loss & to some degree lag. Lag is diff from frame rate loss though I think. There may be too much information for the game to process online right now or something to that effect with the new crap tires model they came out with.

This was a slight issue before (frame rate loss would slow you down in past races before 2.02 or whatever were on now.

 

[Pagey279]

Yeah it was pretty much screwed
But anyway let's concentrate on the next race and hope the issues aren't as bad
Daytona should be an interesting one, its pretty much unknown in an FGT, well for me anyway

 

[berty1979]

And for me too, we will have a run round sometime this week

 

[runfast1]

I'm gonna have a practice at daytona road if anyone's interested! My lounge

 

[berty1979]

I cant get on till later bro. I wouldnt mind a run around with you then if your about

 

[ronin85]

Shame about the race, I quit just in case it was me. I've also noticed that with every new update that the online is getting worse, progress huh?

 

[berty1979]

Yeah, it sucks mate. I was looking forward to getting revenge on you for last season too

 

[KingSakery]

I don´t see that progress.
My Connection is normal since the beginning (some issues but minor ones).
I can only speak from my point of view and through that it was fine.

And I had no problem during the 2 "Races" we started yesterday.
But I knew something wasn´t right after I was 2nd at Tunnel first Lap first Race and 3rd at Razzcazz 2nd Race.
I flew passed everybody except Spurgy (he had no issues too).
Flood was ok too I think but the rest was ultra slow.
Some had locked rear Tires => producing imens amount of smoke and some skidmarks.

Well It was almost 21pm for me as Brett tried to open a open lobby.
Racing would bring me to 23pm and thats too late at the moment (I have to get up at 4:30am).
I did a good Quali 10th was ok (due to me not Testing that much => not getting my low 1:12´s) 1:13.045.

Hope they make an update fast, because many have those connection issues.

 

[berty1979]

Apparently Spurgey got a nitrous boost he was lapping 1.05's! (-4 sec)
I was lapping 1.17's (+8 sec) it was ridiculous. Oh well I will start a practice race at 630 next week for 2 laps and see what the lag is like. Hopefully we can run Monaco at the end of the season as we cant leave out such an awesome track.

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Iam there later for some practise

 

[berty1979]

Ill message you when I am on mate.

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Ok good mate

 

[Ellis]

Just a reminder to flood. Never concede Free kicks in extra time

 

[Pagey279]

Beast of a shot
But in the end you just had to tap circle, no real skill involved.....

 

[Rich S]

Tires on normal race cars now last about 6-8 minutes. Best drive your FGT's, Ferrari F1s & red bulls for a while. Sad, I always looked forward to the GT1/ DTM racing. Now that you can only go for 7 mins before the tires are gone, there's not much driving to be had. Mostly pit stops.

 

[berty1979]

pagey- Quite right sir!

Rich- Its gutting isnt it. Until its sorted you guys should turn tyre wear off, I know it means less strategy but pitting every 2 laps is utterly stupid!

 

[runfast1]

Who's practicing at daytona anyone?

 

[berty1979]

There now bro, I messaged you 👍

 

[Ellis]

actually I use square and i use up on the left analog stick

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Was good Practise tonight guys

 

[Pagey279]

I was enjoying it when my car was pointing the right way

 

[Ellis]

I enjoyed tonight too. Did a shot on fifa jesus would be proud of then played actual football and won Then played my brother on fifa and beat him. Not too shabby me thinks
