Sorry but I actually said that I love Bathurst. :D

But then I am a glutton for punishment. I was also thinking that the Nordschleife is gonna be an actual hell after this update. :lol:
Oops, sorry, xD. Well maybe it's not a bad track after all, I just need to try to have patience with it. And it's hard to choose the right car for it. And I'm avoiding the Lexus car, I tried it a couple months ago at Laguna Seca and it did not favor my liking.

Lol, now I'll be scared to race at the Nords. It's such a long, exhausting track. I wonder what car PD is going to choose for the Sardegna track, that'll be cool running on dirt for a week.

@GrumpyOldMan did you save a replay of your Trial Mountain run? I'd like to see where I'm losing time and making mistakes. If you wouldn't mind. If you didn't save it, that's fine.

Doesn't the Eiger Race C say "CS" (ergo Comfort Soft) tyres?

Looking at a one-make most probably (unless they go adventurous and have a hp/weight or PP limit), and that'd likely be the M3 for all the new-new goodness, or the Roadster Touring Car.

The GTWS race there is using CS on the RA272, which seems a bold choice but I presume is what we're also getting.

I'd be quite happy with the M3, but I am still going to assume (and you know what they say about those who assume?) it's the RA272 mimicking the event coming up...

Wow, they already have the info up this early? I'm impressed. Somebody must be getting the ball rolling with this new update and the physics.
 
Next week's races are up on GTSH early...

Eiger (likely in Gr.B since there's tyre wear) + a dirt physics improvement showcase is kind of what I was expecting them to do this week, to be honest.

Probably stick in race b next week, as usual but I’m very happy about Suzuka, another proper racing circuit for us and medium tyres! 👌

Personally I hope it’s gr4 and the bop works for the g70 still - that’ll be a good week.

I’d take gr3 though.

MEDIUM tyres! 😝 I reckon that’s when the update might work better, with more grip for us 🤞
 
Who remembers their last DR E race? :D Mine was a bit messy (plus you hear me talk).


Wow, that was fun to watch, the inside was rattling a lot, xD. You almost had it, Sharky won! So, VR is a reality, I assume.

@brockie Medium tires work better for you, I always thought the hard tires gave more grip making the car drive more smoothly and having a stable driving experience.

No the softer the tyre, the more grip. You’ll be able to lean on them tyres a little more next week. Soft would be a nice touch here and there, on short circuits
 
Did a bit of messing around with some oddball cars in QT for Race C. Believe it or not I set my fastest overall time of 2:05.2 in the Mustang. It actually felt really good around there. I think I can easily find another 1 second there as I only did 10 laps with it and some of those were penalty laps. The Viper was strangely good too, only .2 slower but much harder to get the braking right. Weirdly it was much better running at -2 BB.
 
I forgot to tell you all before I dozed off, I picked up my 5th win at TM around 2-2:30pm. I'm waiting for the video to upload. I also saved the replay as a backup too. They were riding my tail, so I had to take defense and block them. I got a CRB as well.

After 4 races my DR bar is full 100%, one more good race and I will get a C ranking. I worked hard yesterday and today!

Back at it for more Trial Mountain. I didn't improve my time in my first practice session so that was a bummer.

My first race was a disaster as I forgot to brake entering turn 1 and went for a ride. I had to apologize mid race for that one. I finish P14 for my troubles. I had to take care of some stuff and that took priority and I quit the game.

I came back a few hours later and got my time down to a 1:52.8XX so that's a great improvement. I start P3 this time and hold on there for the first 2 laps. I miss-time my entry for turn 1 and drop to P10 after I recover. Thanks to a big wreck on the final lap, I finish P7.

I'm still getting used to the physics, but it was easier to drive the Huracan compared to yesterday. I'll try the Porchse again and see what happens.
 
@Chris30

Don’t rush to the higher rankings, it’s literally filled with fragile egos and dirty drivers. Literally pass people higher on the grid clean, then they just missile into you and leave the lobby. I wish GT had a review system like iRacing to get all these toxic players out of the community.

I've been running the Porsche there and have been lovin' it. Did some laps yesterday to re-learn the course but the car has felt pretty planted. Same issues as always, really, watch for oversteer at T5 and understeer at T12. Place feels pretty good, actually...RM's would be nice, though.😁

:cheers:

Good effort, wins are super satisfying when everything just falls into place. I’ve not had a win in a few weeks, I almost had a win at TM, couple of crashes ahead saw pulling up to the leader and we were 2 wide heading up the hill after the long straight and we came together! 😁
 
I met fake Famine last night, he liked my Lamborghini so much he didn't pit and took the 1 minute penalty to get a better look:



It was actually a interesting experiment because I did the whole race without changing tyres to keep the gap (was half a second from working 😔) and the fall off isn't bad, hopefully that means pad is a lot closer to wheel now than it has been in the past.

I was so annoyed I threatened him in the strongest possible terms that doesn't result in a PSN ban (I fully understand if the real @Famine thinks the language is too strong for the GTP AUP and deletes this post):

Oh I'm not rushing. As a matter of fact I think I'm gonna keep my ranking between a B or C if I can. I will say that PD went down on the harshness of the penalties because in my 5th race at TM, I hit the rail hard twice an didn't receive anything.

@GOTMAXPOWER Lol, you better be glad it wasn't the real Famine! The fake Famine said he wasn't inviting you to his birthday, his may not be that special anyways, xD.
 
How is default abs with the new update? Ive been doing lots of laps with it off and on weak. Still haven’t tried default, yet.
I ran a 190 mile session for the laptime challenge at Tokyo, using weak ABS. And the braking was very inconsistent. Sometimes I would be able to stop it at turn 1, but then the next lap, braking at the same point, I would plough through the apex all together.

Still managed a somewhat respectable 02.9 there (now top 22) But was struggling to beat drivers I would normally clear comfortably by several tenths. Weak ABS might feel good, but no way can you use it now If you want to shoot for world beating lap times.
 
I got my rank up to a C, take a look. I finished 4 races at TM in 2nd place, and won 1 race yesterday, the last two I finished 3-4th. So, I had 7 top five finishes over a 36 hour period.

I have to be consistent and win as much as I can and keep finishing anywhere between 1st and 6th.

Good going man, I reckon CS is where you belong, being your name too! Let’s hope you don’t have to change your name to Boris! 🤣
 
Hot damn, the R8 Evo is trash around Mt. Panorama. Tried a few runs with my alt account and it's easily 2 seconds + off the pace. Plus, once the rear tyres start to go, there is no quick way down the mountain without the back-end sliding out from behind you. What a sad mess. They nerfed ma baby.
 
I got Error E2-CE210610 in middle of a race. It also seemed that everyone in my lobby was kicked out, if the screen just before the disconnect is to be believed. Googling tells me that this is most likely a server-side issue.

PHG_Papa is running fine on his live video, though. So it is not a big outage, I guess.

Edit: My race counter did increase but DR and SR are unchanged. And now I have a new error code NP-104602-3, lol.

Edit 2: I was able to race again and it was fun racing with PHG_Papa and @Talon16 (although I never saw Talon around me as he was brutally murdered somewhere on the mountain).

I met him too, he didn't last long, neither did my A rating 🙈🙈

Try the mustang, just for laughs. It's actually very good and very stable around there. I haven't much time as my wife is about to pop our future f1 world champion but I'm convinced that car has speed in it. I found the R8 and lexus horrible,
