FP Motorsports

Nah, I just need to catch the traffic at the right time. My Ford GT has been upgraded and tuned to handle that track well. Just need more time and more laps. Maybe tonight.
 
👍



Yeah I don't see a reason to not allow assists. Afterall they only make you slower. ;)

I have ABS on as my only assist, but I'm scared to turn it off :ill: :scared:

My difficulty right now is 140% Something like this:

ABS = On (maybe it says assisted instead???)
Steering = Simulation
STM = Off
TCS = Off
Shifting = Manual
Suggested Line = Off
Damage = Simulation
Rewind = Off
Opponent Difficulty = Hard
Opponent Upgrades = Upgraded
Class Restrictions = Limited

What are you guys using for difficulty?

Woah, I tried Professional AI with tuned cars and I had no chance with my Aygo cause I couldn't tune the tranny or it'd go over the class limit...maybe if I bought a slower car and upgraded it *shrugs*

Definitely try it with it off, as I think it is a pretty poor representation of how ABS works. Just seems to be weaker brakes. I can brake way later with it off.

Traction control on the other hand does seem to help get the power down quicker in the more powerful cars. I've seen some of the events where the top times are using it.
 
If you can join multiple clubs, I'm in. If not, then I might either stick with Team TGAT, or switch over here.

I only race A-class(in a Prius), and R3-class(whatever the hell I currently own... I think it's an Aygo...?)
 
My guess is that it's a lot of work, a big change in the menu system, and a bunch of logistics trying to get messages, multiple shared car garages, multiple leaderboards for one gamertag.

Probably a nightmare to be honest.

Ah-ha!

So that's why the AI seems to be out braking me in corners :lol: Thanks for that tip buddy.

Yeah, I only raced with ABS on in GT5 other than on rare occasions, but with FM4, I've had it off from the, well, off, and I've found it very enjoyable. I'm only on the pad, but the long-travel triggers make finding the sweet spot a breeze. I typically am still too light on the brakes, but I'm getting better.

I unfortunately messed up my Miata, upgrading it to C425 and doing some slight tune work left it listing to either side on long straights. I never did save the setup that's in the Club Garage, but have no way of viewing it, so I've throttled back my garage car into what I believe is the original tune. As the car's owner, I wish I could at least view the settings for it in the CG. Oh well.

Oh, I'll echo the annoying nature of the AI on Track Days. Parts of me almost miss the obedient, single-file GT5 AI just for that reason; I had an absolute storming run on Le Sarthe the other night until a Jag decide to cruise beside an M3 on the back straight... and then hit the brakes, with no turn in sight.

I shared a new Exige in the club; I wish we could use the road-going Evora's engine, but since we can't, this is an S700 instead of the planned A600. It's... fun :D
 
Yeah, that Panoz wasn't doing a whole lot for me outside of the straights, gave the NSX you guys are using a try and it's much better. Got rid of the ABS too and wow does it make a difference, thought I would be flying off the track every corner but even with a controller it's easy to apply the right pressure.
 
Good job improving your time Andrew. I noticed you just took back 1st place.... For now anyway. ;)

I'm definitely going to have at it again tonight.
 
Not that I tried it more than a few laps, but the Boss @ Laguna Rival was fun and the ABS must be part of the reason I'm so far behind, also noticed the top times don't have ABS. I'm hoping to do some damage in Rivals mode this weekend 👍

:lol:

Uh, I'm probably more like a rubber mallet.

Uhh, that event is SOOOO irritating! :lol: Chose the GT40, and finally, finally made a good lap. Thinking I only beat the target rival, I go into the leaderboards and find out, I've taken first place!!!

Stupid AI though, keep messing me up!

It can get pretty irritating with those dumb AI talking on their cell phones or whatever they are doing. Congrats on taking over first. I'm going to have my work cutout for me to knock off a few seconds.

It's quite funny though when they enter a corner. They pull their brakes off and on, and with the old muscle cars, it makes them look like they have hydraulics. :lol:
 
Just joined earlier, took second in the Nurburg fast pass from a standing start :sly:

Chucked a couple of my A class cars up too 👍
 
Managed a 1:32 on first few laps clean. Fastest was a 1:28.624 but I taped a mustang or something. Well top 6 is good for me!
 
I'm almost done redoing the Forza Planet logo which I'll post a preview here once I'm done then... will start my take on the FP Motorsports one then, woohoo! Good I can finally start doing some things now :P
 
This is what I am hoping to avoid in our Saturday events...

Stupid AI.



I am sitting here thinking to myself: "Alright I will late brake and take him inside. Ok, he is not braking... Alright he's gone.... No, no. He wouldn't.... This mother 🤬"
 
Finally, got a decent lap in, sitting in third place on our team, at the moment. I don't even want to know how many times I swore at the AI, and myself, for pushing too hard.
