I think it'll be a lot less annoying to drive than next week's race, Seaside Reverse is such an obnoxious layout to drive. I don't think the other cars are even bad, it's just the GT feels the most consistent/secure, and it's at the top of the leaderboards, so of course everyone's going to gravitate to it.Anyone not bothering with todays Nation Race?
Looks like a good/fun race but the way Nations works at times and everyone migrating to the same car, I just don’t like it.
I won't be doing it. Add up it doesn't really appeal to me, I've got a busy day, and I've done zero practice and you get it won't be a good one for me to be in. Never say never but not likely.Anyone not bothering with todays Nation Race?

Go for it. I am curious. I believe as long as you don't say his/her name then it's within the rules(?). I am less interested in the actual incident but more so on who to NOT support on YT.I ran the first Oceania slot. Second split I think.
Q11 after misjudging the gap to the car in front and getting held up on both flying laps.
The race itself is an utter debacle. Slipstream seems OP and by lap 6 every single car was carrying damage. I worked my way to p3 before a YouTuber who seemingly has some significant anger issues punted me off at T1. I am tempted to link to his stream as his temper has to be heard to be believed and it shows a breathtaking lack of self awareness in his attitude and behaviour.
Ultimately I finished 2nd last with the YT’er last. Such a needless and wanton sabotage of a race. I am still filthy about the way this panned out and it’s been 5 hours now…
Indeed. Just linking it is perfectly fine and within the rules.Go for it. I am curious. I believe as long as you don't say his/her name then it's within the rules(?).

Unless it's full of rude language, of course:Indeed. Just linking it is perfectly fine and within the rules.

And embedding a video full of rude language that anyone can accidentally click on is not sufficient warning...You will not post or link to content that is obscene or sexually oriented.
You will not use profanity in the forums, nor link to content which contains offensive language without sufficient warning.
It’s not that I’m worried about forum rules. This guy is someone who I’ve raced against a lot and will continue to be matched against. We usually don’t have a problem with each other but I have seen him lose his temper before.I won't be doing it. Add up it doesn't really appeal to me, I've got a busy day, and I've done zero practice and you get it won't be a good one for me to be in. Never say never but not likely.
And agree on the latter point as well. There will be 15 silver Ford GTs and maybe one oddball car. Since the Fords all look identical, it just kills the visualization of the race itself. PD should've allowed users to use their own car (but it would still be tuned/BoP'ed to the race requirements). If we could use our car, at least the colors/liveries/wheels/effects (wings, splitters, brake calipers etc.) would look different adding variety. That would've been way cooler and looked like a real track day event.

I don't have an issue with the visuals of 14/15 cars and I do like having the one car make races if set by PD. My issue with Nations is once a meta has been found you basically have to use that car. I've not done any testing for this race but I was told by a streamer it's basically the Ford, as it's the fastest car. BOP never equal in these type of races.I won't be doing it.

That not only failed to go well, it didn't account for two absolute tossrags in the lobby including a guy who just didn't like the fact the Mazda doesn't need to change up between last and first corners and sideswiped me because I was passing him.I'm going for my first ever GT1 race in the RX-Vision, because obviously I am.
I'm hoping the damage and the overpowered Ford GT, and the fact the RX-Vision isn't very nice to drive if you're not familiar with it but has the highest PP and will therefore be selected by unprepared people, will propel me up the grid.

Streaming my run
Ahh yeah gg mate, thank you. I saw what happened to you in my mirror.Well that was certainly eye opening, A+ lobby and carnage. I don't think I've ever seen so many missed apexes into T1.
Had a poor qualifying and ended up P11, slowly worked my way through the chaos. Then punted into T1 from 4th, race ending damage end up finishing DFL.
That slipstream is a bold choice by PD..
@Nebuc72 believe I was in your race, great racing from you!
Yeah realm'd and then hit by someone elseAnother case of someone not realising their braking point changes whilst in the giga slipstream
Welcome to what is the driving standards of daily racing.just didn't like the fact the Mazda doesn't need to change up between last and first corners and sideswiped me because I was passing him
I just did my first run. Had to miss last week's manu cup round. I was quite hyped even though it's just a boring Ford GT fest on SM's. Since the last GTWS i'm finally in the GT1 class so that's why i was hyped. I start the event, qualify mid pack, not bad. Not even 2 laps in, another player crashes, recovers and chooses to grieve me by slamming his car into mine. Race ruined. Can't be bothered with the Nations Cup anymore.Anyone not bothering with todays Nation Race?
