Final Quick Match Races 2-7-18

[wedjim]

I've had a few races that were brake checking and the like, I began clicking the start button at just the right time, then clicking back in immediately after and ghosting thru them...much to their surprise.

Man that is funny, picturing their heads exploding when their fun gets interrupted by youre fun. Bwahahahaha

 

[kilesa4568]

Holland have the same problem, But with racing we can have them

No serious, Its not only germans but in that race it was... I have a lot of friends from America to south africa..and i have german friends who drive clean and fair. I think you need luck in what room you are, If a drvier is faster then me i let him past me. Simple that's racing. I dont wont to %^&* someones race. They must learn that.

I wasn't saying the Germans were the dirtiest drivers out there as it's down to the individual rather than nationality with how they race. I think I've seen the best and worst from every country so there's no favouritism.👍

I think it might be due to some sort of English-German rivalry they'd got into their heads at the time though. They were very cooperative with each other to try and make sure no gaps opened up for me. They were driving pretty clean and giving me a good few millimetres of room when I did get a run but I had to laugh at their antics to try and keep me behind. Very original and very effective when they managed to avoid each other. A roman (or Teutonic...) blockade.

Norway clean racing today
Mexico more concerned with ramming
Spain starts 12th on the grid and must have got a great run through the pack to finish 3rd in 3.33 as Japan ran 3.25.

 

[Tidgney]

Yep, I tend to play with people. I like to see if they'll crack under pressure. Sorry (not sorry).

That 3:28 is the fastest I've done and fastest I've seen anyone do that I'm not suspicious of them using SRF. There's a point that you just cannot go any faster no matter how perfect the laps are. I believe that is that point.

I did a 3:27 ! I think a total time of 3:25 is possible if you start at the front! Curious question this SRF thing can people force it on or something? Might explain why in the Ferrari 1 make series I couldn't get within 5 seconds of the fastest Lap O.o.

 

[CBH]

I wet to the Roma Event looking for a clean race and all you get is knock around from pillar to post, drivers out there.

Unfortunately you can. It does not work 100% of the time but it is very easy to reproduce. It's all in this thread
Activating SRF in some quick matches?

Ps. Thanks for doing the great instructional video's, very helpful.

Awww that's a shame. Fortunately in Rome I had some "fairly" clean races and I couldn't tell if anyone was using it. One guy posted a super quick lap but I think it's just about possible to hit the laptime he did so never questioned it. Was just stunned going to the Ferrari race and being 5 seconds off it! Could not believe it as I was on the edge, so this makes a little more sense.

No problem ! My instructional/race videos will be starting again soon actually, as I'm prepping for GT Sport! My aim is to make the world finals, especially after the little race at the copper box event! Made me laugh when it was in the E3 video to !

 

[kilesa4568]

@Tidgney Could you do me a huge favour with the these quick matches and run them with and without SRF please? It takes me an age to get up to speed whenever the new quick matches start and seeing where SRF on and off can take the lap times. I'm also crap with SRF on so my tests don't show what it's really capable of. Maybe run it for a couple of races for you to bed in and then say what you're best lap was? Likewise with your SRF turned off so I can see what sort of range it has.

It's a lot to ask but I was thinking of updating the report with some lap deltas but I'm not good enough player to show a true reflection of it.

 

[wedjim]

I've been trying it both ways and also keeping track of lap times when it says on and off, but isn't changed in arcade mode.

It seems lap times are .5-1 second slower with it off in arcade mode, but if it's on, they are the same even if it shows off in the options menu.

But it isn't a huge difference for me. I can run 1.05's with it off and on, but they are high 1.05's with it off at midfield. I hit an occasional 1.04 with it on.
But I have seen some running low 1.04's and total time of 3.17 at Midfield. I'm pretty sure they are using it, or there are a lot more aliens than we thought.

I'm certainly not in the same league as Tidgney but I ran as many laps as my crook shoulder would allow using the Keihin HSV -010 '12 on Midfield (in Free Run) with Race Soft Tyres, stock everything else except for the ballast and power, which I am guessing is this....

Firstly without SRF

and with SRF

There is certainly more time to be had with both as I have not raced in ages. The extra grip/control gained with SRF is insane with this combo, but not having many corners, the times are only just over a second apart for me. I tried for 5 laps on each but pain got the best of me so the SRF laps were cut short.

Hopefully this gives you a rough idea mate

I can certainly have a try later today for you, no idea whether I'll be able to get SRF on though :S! Only reason I say this, is that it took me 15+ attempts last night, including a Playstation restart just to get into a quick race! If SRF is on, only on 1/3 the times (As an example I can't find the quote where it said the reduced number) you try that could be quite a lot of attempts!! I certainly won't be trying 45 times, but I'll give it a few goes at least.

I can say that depending on the event will depend how much it will affect it. So the DTM cars are Rome it won't be a huge difference as there's not a lot of sliding, and a lot of grip. However the Ferrari where there's very limited grip, the advantage is a lot larger, literally huge! I gave up on the Ferrari one quite quickly after seeing the time gap. But my guess, and only a guess would be that I could do a 1:59 without it on, and a 1:54 with it on based on what I saw. But as I say that's a guess! Rome I would say there's less than .5 of a second in it if I was to guess! I've only seen 1 person in 1:06's other than myself (That sounds big headed so sorry, but only way to put across times!) so I can only assume that SRF really isn't that effective there, and that person may very well have been an alien!

 

[mallucm]

Sorry, could someone please explain what SRF is? I go into a quick race with no boost thinking the race will be fair, and I'm a mile off the pace despite doing what feels like a mega lap. Just a lack of pace through myself most likely!

Whenever I used to try SRF, I turned it on through free run in the garage and that saw a 70-80% chance of it being on in the quick match for me. I seem to be quite lucky with connection attempts so when I used to test SRF on, if it wasn't on the first time, it was on the next.

I haven't really run the touring cars (too physical for me) but I don't think SRF makes that much of a difference with Rome and the amount of down force the cars have. I imagine it could shave up to a second in the slower corners but the extra grip will play a huge part on the cars positioning for an overtake though.

I've done one 2.01 lap in the Ferrari without it but testing with it on, I did a 1.56 on my second lap and left. Massive difference. I haven't touched the rally cars at Monaco but I should think it has a very similar effect there.

I've done the majority of my racing at Midfield and had a 4.2 with SRF and a 4.9 without. I've seen people running regular low 3s and even as low as 3.15 totals there and watching the replays, they're powering out of corners a good 2 or 3 seconds earlier than the non SRF can.

It's a Midfield reverse quick match and doesn't offline have slightly more grip than online? I think the cars come with some sort of superficial tune to calm them down as well. Thank you for trying it out so fast though and I hope your shoulder's better soon.

I always used to turn it on in free run but as I said above, I'm quite lucky with successful connections and get plenty of attempts to see it turned on. Don't go out of your way to get it done though. Do the quick matches when you want to and jot down the times as and when you get them. I can post consistent (for my pace) laps without SRF on but I'm very inconsistent with it turned on. I'm always faster with SRF but I'm not getting anywhere near the optimum pace with it. I just can't get used to it.

It applies to every quick matcher out there. It would help just as much to see what every driver can do with and without SRF.

I should say I don't really think they'll bother to try and fix it but if PD are informed of how much of a difference it makes, they'll (hopefully) not make the same mistake with the next game and either remove it (SRF) completely or make sure any similar glitches are patched before they're exploited.

As a bonus, I can see what one of the top drivers can do with and without SRF on each track and have a better idea of what's possible with each. Easier for me to race hop to find other non SRF users.👍

Confirm that SRF certainly doesn't seem to make any difference at Rome (at least not to me!) my lap times are identical with and without, but it does make a big difference with the Ferrari QM.

 

[mallucm]

Managed to get below the 2 minute lap time barrier in the Ferrari with a 1:59.8! I still think there's some time to find.

In the Touring Cars around Rome, I'm currently in the 07s, but struggling to get a lap in clean air.

 

[kilesa4568]

With or without SRF?

 

[mallucm]

With or without SRF?

Without I'm fairly sure, simply jumped in and raced.
I've managed to get around the 1:07.5 mark in the Touring Cars now, struggling a bit more in that quick race.

[EricB71]

Does anyone have a clue on when the new quick matches are coming out? Getting bored now of the current choices....

 

[Draggon]

It's anyones guess, they are so random. Funny thing is a week or two ago the Rome touring car event that has been going for months showed up as a new event. Weird.

 

[kilesa4568]

Enjoyable racing in the GT500s last night and finally managed to squeak into the 19s with a couple of 4.8's.👍

The room went from 8 racers down to 3 after the race so I thought I'd back off a bit and keep people interested. After the following race, 3 of the 5 people who'd left came back in so all was good again...or so I thought. Those 3 people started to lap in the high 3s (from mid 5s) and I couldn't get anywhere near them.

Hmm.

 

[Kossie]

That Monaco is still fun 👍 I love that track.

I think tomorrow. And i hope it.

Huh? There's four new QM events up.
