Can't be true GT style unless you are trading paint and getting a 1.5s penalty for involuntarily hitting a barrier!in true Gran Turismo style
Sorry, couldn't resist.

I don’t think I’ll have the time for any race C this week, I’m back at work tomorrow.Oops, I meant I can only use the RSR at Red Bull Ring. I'm having fun at Suzuka in the Honda Group 2 car. I got a fast time of 1'54.075. It's not my overall best and I can do better. I really do not like the esses at the beginning before entering Sector 2. I tend to lose my rhythm and lose a bunch of time there. Lol, I'm at the bottom of my friends list as usual. But that's fine. The part after you go under the Bridgestone thing is a pain too, the dreaded U-turn. And don't get me started on the next Sector where the double left turn is, one wrong move and you're in the sand trap.
And after you pass the Panasonic/Dunlop banners, here comes the final killer turn before the finish line, I mess it up 50% of the time and hit the colored tires. A sure-fire pain in the rear end.
@brockie So will you do any Suzuka races this week, or not?
Where is this screenshot from? Thankyou.
Thankyou !!
Did you notice a gap somewhere when finishing, as in a portion of the field finish +20s after you? Tried with main and 2nd accounts and found that unless you are starting within the top 7, you're pretty much at the mercy of the level of dirt of other drivers! Interesting point about BB, I stayed at +1 front all throughout my QT trials but will see if I can try your suggestion tomorrow. PS - epic time - really impressive!I've been waiting for GV and here it finally is, and luckily for me it's Gr4 Hard.
The first race I was starting P2. As the grid got formed, I saw some smear on the lenses on my PSVR2, so I decided to wipe them clean real quickly. For some crazy reason they shut off, and when they came back on, the headset asked to do another room scan. Figures. When the scan was done, headset on, I was dead last of course. Managed to get up to P7, so not too bad.
Second race I started P1, and in T1 there was a touch with P2. Racing incident, and we kept our positions, so no harm. He was fast, and there was another touch a few corners later, but he let me pass, so all good.
Next race we had another battle, again, very tight but no contact this time, and we exchanged some compliments after the race.
All in all I did 4 races, and gained DR in all of them. I fully expect to loose them later in the week of course.
The QT is around 1.56.3 with a 1.55.8 optimum. I found that -5 BB at the first few hard brake corners is best, then -1 in the double left, back to -5 on the bridge, and then +2 for the chicane. It's fiddly, but pays off.
When it weirds out like that, just take it off and put it on again. It just failed at orientation. Nbd.I've been waiting for GV and here it finally is, and luckily for me it's Gr4 Hard.

Yea, it's not horrible. My pre-race lap times were almost a full second off the Genesis, though. Also, coming from the Genesis and running +5 BB, I did the same in the Stang... which was a mistake. Almost lost the car like three times on lap one in the braking/turn-in zone just being super loose. Once I changed it to 0 it was much more behaved.Inspired by my buddy, @Talon16, who I saw win the RBR race in a Mustang, I gave the Ford a try, and it's actually really nice there.
It's been a while since I've had a competitive race in the Gr.3 Mustang. It's good. 👍
I think you are right. I experienced similar differences from one of the rI'm not sure, but I think I've found another bug or maybe a way to dodge BoP.
As usually I went for Race C today, and tried out different cars. At some point I figured out that the GT-R Nismo '18 works best for me. So I did a 1:49,919 in qualifying, and just before a race started I changed livery and checked oil, because just in case it's worn out... And of course it was worn out.
However... Since I've changed oil and livery, I'm not even getting close to my qualifying time. And yes, I know that qualifying and race isn't the same in terms of pace...
edit: speaking of a 0,7 second gap.
So what do you guys think about this?
As said a few pages back (by me) is that oil and chassis/engine condition impact a cars performance.I think you are right. I experienced similar differences from one of the r
Qualifying to another, after making some changes. I always thought it's just that I lost momentum or I'm just not as focused as before.
It's going lovely thank you Chris@newmedia_dev hope your small trip went well, you said you had to go to the airport
Congratulations mate!Last night was the first chance I have had to even look at the Dailies after my son was born a week ago. Anyway, I didn't race, only practiced QT for Suzuka in VR. Must say, the NSX is a weapon 😍😍 and in vr the view is very good in cockpit
