Thought Grand Valley Reverse might be intriguing as we've never had it before but then saw the settings and realised it'll be a Gr.4 fuel saver
Someone could see my total Sport mode stats and other stats to know my claim is factually accurateI'm not buying it.
Three words nobody has ever said about a Mustang ever in the history of the world!
I can't help with the penalty system. But as for getting shoved around, etc., may I respectfully suggest that there may be reasons why this keeps happening to you?
By now I’m positive you have more racing experience than I do, so I invite the advice. You’re probably correct. I did think to myself on reflection that it would be better to lose two positions to aggressive drivers rather than lose all the positions trying to defend in vain. So I think you’re probably right.
Stay wide. Anyone divebombing is relying on someone actually being there to 'bounce' off of, by staying wide they will inevitably either have to slow down and take the turn properly and you'll have the advantage of exit speed or hit the wall and ghost out.
I don't know if you mean the quick flick right hand or the hard brake after but let them through, you get an immediate opportunity on them right after it either into that hard brake turn or through the esses with slipstream on your side.
Had some racing with lamaravilla the other day. Not sure what he was doing near the back with me, but was great to race with. Very respectful and fast. I love when a fast guy who finds himself racing with us lobby fillers doesn't act like a toolbox. Much respect to themTook the day off work today as I have some things I need to do... and one of those things was get in a quick C before said tasks. Little did I know at the time I'd be put in a lobby with good ol' Rory, as well as DeadEyeDellboy which is super cool.
Just another banger of a race! Started P2 (LM II) behind Lamaravilla777 (P-VGT), who is super quick (QT: 44.0 vs my 44.1) and a very clean driver. He beat me in the McLaren - of all cars - earlier in the week. So I was excited about that as knowing the people around you race clean from previous experiences means one less thing to have to worry about.
As the race starts, fortunately Lam' and I are able to pull a way from the pack a bit (especially because they were fighting some) building a 3ish second lead over them. My intent was to try and stick behind P1 and save fuel where I could and hopefully gain some time in the pits. And, like clockwork I get a track limits pen coming out of the bus-stop; I deserved that one 100%. Fortunately for me, so did P1. P3 was back far enough it wasn't going to lose me a place. P1 didn't pit, so neither did I. I was kinda angry with myself after not pitting as I am sure I'd have gained .500-.750" on him by doing so, but I stuck with plan A.
Nothing much changed as I was able to keep in his slip, and on lap eight I got a good run going to the bus-stop. I went to the outside but wasn't quite able to get fully ahead (that Peugeot has really good top end!) so I backed off. We both pit on lap eight. I went right to the diamond on fuel and my strat worked; I came out just in front of the Peugeot, like bumper to bumper.
He got a good run coming out of the bus-stop and we went side-by-side into T1 on the last lap. Thankfully I was on the inside and able to keep the place. I was able to build an .800" lead through the infield and eventually bring it home. Super chuffed after that one!
Lamaravilla if you're out there, thanks for the race! Great stuff. Hope to see you on track again.
And, cool to mark Rory and DeadEye off the list of streamers to race with!

Had a go with your settings and it is really weird! The cars drive great, quite similar to my setups in terms of feel HOWEVER, I have about 4 of the settings turned off in mine and the difference from your setup to mine is not that far apart! Yours provides more flow whilst mine twitches a bit more (made this on purpose on my "hard-driving mode settings") so I can turn in faster but have the torque turned up enough to be able to catch the car and not spin.
No, I didn't. The end of that specific race, you mean? I'll go watch now!
I was in at least one - maybe more - races with him where he got taken out by someone.
Reasonably well behaved has also been my experience in B and C the last few months. Had mostly clean racing at Barca last week, and at DTS this week.
i will, i honestly wasn't sure it was you so i didn't want to look silly😂
I can trump your 97 or 98, how about Hammersmith Odeon on the Raining Blood tour in '87. Plus about ever other tour that hit London onwards. Still going strong in the moshpit at Wembley on the final tour 31 years later. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nice one! That's a really good time.
Hahaha, its still a time to be proud of regardless! It was 300th or so when I set it, not sure if its still around that mark but it's still mighty good.Shhhhh that is our secret! Don't tell people you did it in the slower car....it makes me look bad!
Cough, what a challenging time that was to set....(ignore the dude in the anti anti meta, what does he know)
And it is, one wrong curb bounce or early turn in you cause or get collected.
That's interesting - I don't see craziness there as much as you seem to, although it everyone's tight, I suppose it should be a surprise.
Then maybe you're doing it wrong? Don't enter the first turn too fast, or you're probably going to have to fight the brakes before the right-hand turn, and that's when people can get past you. As soon as you make that left-hand turn (smoothly), check to see if anyone's trying to crowd you out on the right-hand turn, and if so, hug the right even if it slows you down.
I used to be really good at the CoD, but the Mazda3 is easy for me to lose stability on the first part of the CoD, which is disaster. It's something about how I cross the curb on the left - I'm not sure if I'm trying for a too-shallow pass through the CoD, or too steep. I'll check my replay to see if I can figure out what causes me to lose it there.
