Formula GT: The Pacific Grand Prix

[Blake]

there's going to be some groans of frustration at seeing people beat you by thousandths here.

Errgggggghhhh!

Good racing guys, best of luck in the race proper. 👍

Nice Pepe! Love to see my teammate ahead of me, that is great! 👍 We'll see how the 50 laps goes...*gulp!* I'll have to take the wheel for that I think, it gives much more control for 3/4 imo. I had a 25.465 but was dirty :/, gl all!

In the options > DFP steering menu there is an option that says "active steering" on or off. It is said to "prevent the likelihood of spinning out"

I believe this is the same as "ASM" so turning this option on is illegal

Correct me if I'm wrong

First fastest race warm up time a 12.940

 

[ceiling_fan]

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I may not be on GTP for a couple of days. (Birthday, US holiday etc.) Good luck everybody!

 

[GT4 defistation]

Cool I redid the race today and dropped 40+ seconds off my final time. I only had one spin this time instead of four.

 

[superberkut]

I'm on probation; my little brother is not letting me play video-games ever since I ran that 24-hour race! As if he spent less time playing NBA Live 2004!

But, I'll try to sneak in a warmup session anyways...

 

[GT4 defistation]

Got a new warm up lap a 12.919. Slowly starting to catch you Blake Thanks to the great drafting of the AI.

I tell you what you aren't missing much, this race is a nightmare. I'm starting to wonder if this race is tougher then the Nurburgring

I wonder what damage I've done to my hands...

 

[Jump_Ace]

/\ Hahaha, like I said first two round are the worst Be Gentle!

I redid the race just then, there’s about 12s to come off before I’m really happy.

 

[Blake]

5 seconds off the best I could ever do. I think this time is good though, so I may or may not improve.

 

[superberkut]

...and now my older brother won't let me play, despite the fact that I did when I kept it, and his promises of the console being, 'communal'. What a jerk! (Outburst of anger, don't take me seriously)

So, I have more obstacles. But, given everybody dying doing this race, is it worth it?

 

[GT4 defistation]

Times submitted:tup: Pretty sure I will when this. Oh yea, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

 

[Blake]

Confident much?

I really want to know your time, now…

 

[Lee]

I still haven't managed a clean* race.
(*By clean I mean less than 5 spins and by race I mean procession..)

Earth, ever had a DNF sumbitted?

 

[GT4 defistation]

Hopefully its faster than yours Blake

 

[Blake]

Unlikely.

 

[Earth]

Hmmm even if you spin 5 times there is still the probability that 8 or less drivers will turn in a time, so therefore you could still pick up points.

 

[Blake]

5 seconds off the best I could ever do. I think this time is good though, so I may or may not improve.

Okay, I just took 10 seconds off that. If I don’t win this race I’ll eat my shirt. About to submit my time.

 

[Lee]

Hmmm even if you spin 5 times there is still the probability that 8 or less drivers will turn in a time, so therefore you could still pick up points.

I'll try again tonight then.

 

[GT4 defistation]

Im starting to feel uneasy about my time. Earth could I resend my time because I got a faster one. I never saw a rule about this.

 

[Eagle]

Uh just to clarify the rules: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2678871&postcount=1

B4. .2 of a second will be added to the total time of every positon behind pole. .2 to 2nd, .4 to 3rd, .6 to 4th and so on.

That's listed under the qualifying rules, I assume it relates to the actual complete race time however?

 

[Blake]

So, as the deadline’s winding down how’s everyone doing?

 

[superberkut]

Would slipstream effects count for the race warmup? I got the best lap from there, and the split has to be from the race, so I would assume so, but all the same, it doesn't appear correct to do such.

 

[GT4 defistation]

Well I belive everybody is using slipstream for there race warmup. Because if not Blake would be moving at supersonic speed.

 

[superberkut]

My race warm-up: 13'377. I'm frustrated with my not being able to do better...

I lost control once, but only 3 seconds were lost, however I have a feeling that I could have gone faster out there.

 

[Famine]

I'm so totally out of this.

This race is making me angrier and angrier. There's no consistency to the reactions of the car whatsoever and I'm going to start hitting things (namely: the ban button )

So I'm going to bed instead.

 

[Eagle]

Aww poor Famine. I think everyone has had that feeling so far. You know that there's more time out there to be had but actually getting at it is beyond frustrating, and making it 80% through the race only to have a butterfly's wings cause a spin is enough to make anyone consider homicide.

Bring on the results and the real circuits.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Bring on the results and the real circuits.

You said it, enough of this silly Indy/Nascar garbage and onto something that requires leaning to the left and right 👍
