Has anyone tried B yet? I did a couple of laps this morning before going to work (didn't even realise tuning was enabled!)
I had one race this morning Q8 to P4, the Nissan seems to be meta at least for now due to pure top end speed. I ran my trusty Hyundai N2025 and found myself quicker in the corners and able to overtake some cars including the Nissan. Looks like a good race for this week imo.Has anyone tried B yet?

First off, congrats on the podium!!👍
IMHO, this is a prime example of why the way they build lobbies is just fine. You showed-up and felt you wouldn't be competitive yet finished third. There's a reason that can happen at all. It comes down to matching drivers based on more than just the simple B/S -vs- C/S moniker.
There's a huge talent spread from the bottom of a rank to the top of it. This isn't true when you're at the crossover point, though, so the further up your rank you go, the more you start to see the next level up in your races. The points system in the background is the 'magic' that makes it work about as good as any system is going to. Those points (that we don't see) define a lot of things about a driver, from pace to consistency.
Again, Op Ed...😁
FFB problem in general since the physics change. Car dependant issue, nothing you can do to fix it that isn't just neutering the wheel entirely.What setting on my wheel do I have to change to stop the mental wheel wobble at HSR peeps?
Ah man that sucks, I haven't noticed it this bad before, and I agree I tried with turning the FFB down to next to nothing but then any fidelity is absolutely impossible without the resistance.FFB problem in general since the physics change.

Buy a bigger wheel? I run a 330mm rim. LOL.What setting on my wheel do I have to change to stop the mental wheel wobble at HSR peeps?

Yeah I think it's worse with the R92CP which is fantastic considering the meta car is the R92CP. I don't know how they didn't notice it in their own testing to be honest?Ah man that sucks, I haven't noticed it this bad before, and I agree I tried with turning the FFB down to next to nothing but then any fidelity is absolutely impossible without the resistance.
Thanks for explaining
You are probably right on that.Yeah I think it's worse with the R92CP which is fantastic considering the meta car is the R92CP. I don't know how they didn't notice it in their own testing to be honest?
I tried one at lunch and I have to say, I won’t be doing that one all week that’s for sure.Has anyone tried B yet? I did a couple of laps this morning before going to work (didn't even realise tuning was enabled!)
I ordered VR which should be here tomorrow on Wed so that's one saving grace this week a new toy to distract me from some less than my taste races.A week for getting the menus done and cars collected
Ooh nice mate! I reckon 5 laps Le Mans could be really cool in VR!I ordered VR which should be here tomorrow on Wed so that's one saving grace this week a new toy to distract me from some less than my taste races.
I've only done Q laps, so far.Has anyone tried B yet? I did a couple of laps this morning before going to work (didn't even realise tuning was enabled!)
The cars are so twitchy and the margins sooo small, especially if you have a grid that has done extremes (SIC) the speed differential is big even with the meta car.Race B: I like qualifying at HSR but racing should be hectic. But going to try at least once. If people are going meta mostly than it's perhaps less chaotic than in Tidg's video?
I’m kind of afraid to google that.jiggle ride videos
Actually the 07 is a facelift, which saw a few updates to niggling things so all good. The convertible roof motor and scissors can be a bit annoying if they start to give problems, so just take a look at service history to make sure it was cared for and have him open and close the roof.This might end-up the question of the day. Given what @jrbabbitt experienced -vs- what we've come to expect as the norm. It WAS perfectly fine to bump within reason. Obviously, causing damage is ramming territory. Hope this isn't a test week where we/they find-out they may have those parameters a bit tight.🤣
@Chris30 it's a great time out there and I'm hoping you get to rejoin us again soon. I know you had mentioned Black Friday sales but never count out places like Craigslist. Keep a vigilant eye-out for a deal in there if you can, too. I've seen PS5 digitals editions for less than $300 and PS4Pros for less than $200. Obviously this is region-specific but maybe you can find something.
Off Topic Moment
Speaking of Craigslist, quick question for the local Saab guru... @TechnoIsLove - looking for cheap cars I found an '07 Aero convertible with the turbo six. Are these in the 'run away' or 'patience required' category? Can't say I've ever seen a 'vert w/the boosted 6 for sale. $3,900 is hard to look away from, lol.
It was horrendous! I've gone to 4 on the FFB, but it's still very apparent if I loosen my grip.Ah man that sucks, I haven't noticed it this bad before, and I agree I tried with turning the FFB down to next to nothing but then any fidelity is absolutely impossible without the resistance.

It took me several races before I discovered tuning was available - couldn't understand how everyone was so quick on the straights!I tried one at lunch and I have to say, I won’t be doing that one all week that’s for sure.
Not sure 5 laps Le Mans interests me either, they seem to have over done things last week and now we are left with some rallying, which is a good track if I remember from the drift trophy for the plat.
Did see @Barney Da Dog hit a .57.xxx 😵💫 in B
A week for getting the menus done and cars collected
I am going to try race B in VR later...I fully expect to get sick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I ordered VR which should be here tomorrow on Wed so that's one saving grace this week a new toy to distract me from some less than my taste races.
The final sector is probably the hardest to get to grips with, lots of longish straights on the rest of it.Race C: Probably shameful to admit but I dont know the circuit at all. Should be s great chance to get to know it, but I dont like killing SR for bumpdrafting. Do you stand any chance of you don't do it?
