Well I can give a little more detail! I’ve done 3 races. There’s only 2 genuine overtaking opportunities that aren’t push to pass outside of big mistakes, turn 1 and turn 3. Turn 3 (left turn after the long run out of senna) on two separate races I’m fully alongside in the inside, I brake into the apex to park it and both occasions the outside car has veered into me and bounced off. They must know I’m there and they turned in regardless like a DR D driver. Then the first sharp right of the infield they go for a massive punt, one successful one not.
The 155 is too slow on the straight so outside mistakes the only place they have a pace advantage is turn 4 to the last turn 😆.
Same experience here. Although I needed 8 races to find out that it was boring. Best result: P2, worst result: P4. Always one or two superfast cars ahead disappearing in the sunset, almost everyone behind me struggling to keep their cars on the track. Three or four nice battles with drivers who had a similar pace than me. But most races rather uneventful, I got CRB in most of them. It only took me that long to realize that the actual racing was boring, because I enjoyed driving the Evo and the MiTo so much, trying to get as smoothly around the track as possible.
Yeah, I had to break my no-detunes rule for this one, the car just feels like it belongs there.
You mentioned it in the post about winning at the Glen. I hadn't noticed until you said something in the pre-race chat but I was too slow to type at that point.
Na man, it's all good. The only places I saw that you can gain a lot of time were keeping it tighter through T3 to open up T4 and the exit and through the esses... you're already completely on the right curbs which is good, just a quick lift on turning into the left should weight the front enough to turn in and then it's back on the gas carrying that momentum all the way to T11. Your baseline is solid, just keep putting the laps in.
Yea, again I don't really care for this layout. Not much a fan of the Porsche as it can be slidey going though turns, then seems to understeer like crazy. If you're really good with it and can manage both of those things at the same time I suppose it would be good. Seems to be better on fuel in this race than the BRZ so that is why I was using it. I am no expert but I try to get most of my braking before turning in since they're super sensitive and get back on the gas asap - even if it doesn't feel natural - as it seems to settle them down.
That one is going towards T6... the short straight after the tight left and right though the infield. Taking pics in race mode is easy. Just hit "circle" to bring up the menu at the bottom and there is a camera icon. Just pause the replay and hit that camera. There are usually more than a few angles or you can 'walk' the track as well.
This is the part I don't understand. I've done this on replays from single player mode, but when I tried to watch a replay after the online race it would only let me save the replay, which is basically just a YouTube video that doesn't allow me to do all the things I'd like such as watching other racers to see what they're doing, take photos, and stuff like that. What am I doing wrong?
They should be exactly the same once you're watching. In 1P you can watch the replay right after the race whereas in Sport you have to save it first, go to your Showcase, and then watch it. Once you're in it, you should have all the same controls/options.
Done better than me. Done no fuel stop 4 times and not gain a position from them.
Hate to break it to all you A+ers, but your stock just plummeted.
Jumped on my B account to do a race C and figured WTH, I am going to try out the A account for a couple. Won them both.
First one I got pushed off in the esses and dropped back to P9. Made up a couple of places but was then stuck behind a Merc for the next five laps until he pitted. Well, so did everyone else (including Porsches) except a Vette who pitted the next lap. I'm now leading?! WTF? Anyway, managed fuel and barely finished in front of a charging Beetle who made up like seven seconds on my in the last two laps.
Second one I feel like a *. I was leading and holding off the chargers behind. Yadda yadda last two laps a SSRT (or whatever the accronym is) guy who started last was catching up to me bit by bit. As we went into the straight before the final chicane on the final lap we were side-by-side with me on the inside. Both braked and I bumped his rear quarter panel so slightly the game didn't register the noise on my end as contact. He slid a bit while trying to make the next right and hit me (not his fault at that point). He then spun. I finished P1 but feel like a * because I wasn't convinced we made contact or I would've waited. I tried to talk to him after the race but he left. Watched the replay on another guy's channel and I did just tap him. Dammit! At full speed it really doesn't look too bad but the slow mo is pretty damming. I am not fully convinced there was a full car's width on the inside until after the contact, but looks like enough space was left.
Sorry dude if you're out there. I honestly didn't think we touched or I would've waited for you. My bad. Oh well, **** happens.
ETA - Here is the incident. 100% accidental. 0.1" too late on the brakes and the car understeered a bit too much.
What are your thoughts?
Found it! And yes, you were three spots behind me at the beginning.They should be exactly the same once you're watching. In 1P you can watch the replay right after the race whereas in Sport you have to save it first, go to your Showcase, and then watch it. Once you're in it, you should have all the same controls/options.
Just took this screengrab of a Sport mode race that was in my Showcase.
It's in the Showcase on the main map. Go there, then My Items. It'll be in there. Enjoy!
