What times did you get using the BB of -5? If they were good then I'll try using your method too.
Had a similar scenario a couple weeks ago...unintentionally punted a driver going into T1 at NGP. Felt like a complete idiot. Next race, flying toward T1 on L1, I'm on the inside (bad) having a great conversation with myself about NOT doing what I did last race and totally missed my brake marker. Who do I t-bone into another dimension...same driver. Insta-Quit.🤣
I thought we were PSN friends?

I'm finding the same thing, the more I fight the car the slower it goes, but if I just relax and brake a little earlier and smoother earlier on the power it rewards that.
The online races are so glitchy at the moment, Rory had a race where half the field started 30s behind the front lot 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Got my time down to a 1:51.8 but it would have been 1:51.3 if I hadn't of clipped the wall of the tunnel FML 🤣
Edit: @TechnoIsLove just so you know I've set you a better target but that will drop by tomorrow so you might want to try to beat it with a safety margin
That's both sad and humbling to hear.
Yikes, I am off the pace. My current QT on my VR account is 1:55 something in the RS01. That was good to start P3 in my first DR D race which I finished also in P3. I'm definitely not as fast as I used to be but it is more fun! Guess I will be playing in the lower ranks for a while..
kriptical tells me I'd enjoy the game more in VR and I have 2 friends IRL who do top 100 and 50 times for TTs and Dailies but I just can't justify the cost (ironic I know with a rig, huge TV, DD wheel etc 🤣) but also the disconnect from the world around me.
VR is really fun but definitely not a necessity. I've been tempted to pick PSVR2 up a few times for GT, but I used to use VR on iRacing etc. when the Oculus Rift was new (and I still have a Quest 2 I can and have hooked up) - and to be honest I find it a bit cumbersome for the most part, takes away from the 'seamless' feel of playing games with a big fat visor hanging off my face I have to keep taking off and adjusting between races.
Is the "conversion" process and all the VR players that Ive been talking to went through the same.
You generally don't need to take it off as the 2d parts float around in cinema mode, though I'll admit I do take it off between races to allow my eyes different focal points and also when capturing screen grabs, 2d just works better as VR will only grab in a HD resolution and then it tends to pixelate the periphery so capturing the starting and ending positions for a race to log in GTTracker is not good.
In the TT I am actually faster than 2D now on the Eiger course so I'm getting used to it. For daily races, I'm finding the lack of HUD information with splits to cars in front and behind reduces my awareness around me of position but I'm getting used to it quickly. I'm also not chasing ghosts in my QT now so this is just my pure track speed and some of it is figuring out the new braking points with the in cockpit view and the new physics. I will say, that attacking a course seems easier but also scarier than before. It seems more natural, but because I feel more "in the car" real-world concerns about crashing get into my mind and I forget it's a game and seem to drive a bit more cautiously. Again that should improve as I get used to car width and feel.
I guess I'll have to get off my butt and get the hell out of my time!
I was losing the motivation but the VR thing has made it all new. That said, running your alt account may be good. Starting over in VR at the same time as the new physics dropped did not phase me as I was learning all over again. Honestly, its pretty fun being in a lower ranks again starting over, as you feel like you know what you are actually doing (for me) third time around. I'll expect to find a natural level in the upper Bs (or perhaps A again) at some point but I have a way to go to get there.
I'm a little younger but not much, I have a young family so yesterday I didn't race I played in the oversized paddling pool with my daughter. Didn't race at all and my life was fine.
Why do you hate joy and happiness?
Miles are miles, run 'em. A casual blast around the Nord' or door handle to door handle with your peers, you're gonna pick up the physics either way. Just choose the one that doesn't end with something thrown at the display and all is good.😁
It's even easier than that. You don't need different email addresses as long as you use google. Gmail allows vitual alliases by using a + sign.
You can also just use an ALIAS so you can have more than one email address ending up in the same inbox e.g. I have two PSN ids and all the email arrives in the same place e.g. KPL_Hearstopper@outlook.com.au and KPL_HeartBreaker@outlook.com.au feed into my main email address I have had for 15 years. Aliases exist in Microsoft accounts, not sure about gmail accounts.
Interesting, I didn't know about this, thanks. It can come in handy for Sport mode and our daily races.
