[True-blue-8]

i'll announce it more later, but i'm going to be standing down from GTTCC for now. The game is doing more harm then good.

THREE 2nd places to chalk up!

Nissan Skyline is now a tuned Nissan Micra, the wise words of @sibbystiggy.

 

[CptMadBean]

I'm pulling out to guys to many rules and to much ramming

 

[Mikey24]

I'd like to say that tonight's racing was top notch guys, and well done @swiftsmith, @Doomstorm16 and @sibbystiggy on winning today! 👍

That's disappointing

The second part is whats ruined my driver fun. The first ninj and I were discussing. will PM you 👍

 

[swiftsmith]

Feels good to get both my first GTP,& GTTCC win. Feels like a long time coming.

 

[TickleMyNug]

Feeling equally as good as @swiftsmith for getting a podium.

 

[RacingLine]

Epic drag race in race 3 sadly i lost out to Ians extra horses, 0.061+

In all fairness
a) boost was on
b) this allowed your Volvo to just out run them out the end

but well done



If people want to PM me their thoughts please do. I'm not sure what to do anymore. Some of the driving is really poor and I feel the series has just gone of the rails. Really unfortunate after all the hard work, the massive enjoyment and our successful rapid growth

If anything, boost allowed everyone to catch up considerably faster. 👍

Not trying to start anything but:

1. Everyone gets boosted not just me.
2. I didn't run off everyone was right behind me so they could have drove by me at anytime.

exactly. it kept him with the pack, and the final straight didn't affect the volvo

The racing has improved alot here, I honestly don't think it'll be as bad as previous rounds again, The connection issues are mostly PD, but everyone can clear cache before joining, alternatively create 1 new room and start whatever the issues.

That's a fair point.

 

[True-blue-8]

don't think im taking anything from you smith, well done

however I wouldn't personally count it as a moral victory

 

[swiftsmith]

So it doesn't in the books?

 

[Mikey24]

So it doesn't in the books?

Yeah its a legal win, be proud of it because you did very well. 👍

THREE 2nd places to chalk up!

Nissan Skyline is now a tuned Nissan Micra, the wise words of @sibbystiggy.

Apparently the BMW is as well, Halfords tuned no less...

I'd like to say that tonight's racing was top notch guys, and well done @swiftsmith, @Doomstorm16 and @sibbystiggy on winning today! 👍

Thanks mikey, well done on your 3 2nd's. May have been a good round for you, but I think that im going to be dropping this one.

 

[True-blue-8]

So it doesn't in the books?

???
it stands if that's what you mean

but if I won that way i'd be quite disappointed. It was a lottery and having the fastest car in a straight line helped

Yeah its a legal win, be proud of it because you did very well. 👍

Oh sorry. Didn't know

 

[Mikey24]

Oh sorry. Didn't know

I must have worded that wrong, I meant the same thing as you.

I'm pulling out to guys to many rules and to much ramming

I totally agree with you @CptMadBean.

In race 2, I accidentally pitted too soon, rather foolishly I pit on lap 6, I can only think that I had the race 1 pit window in my head at the time. Anyway, hopefully I got away with my error by pitting again at the correct time. Two stop strategy for me.

I'm currently a bit miffed as to the success penalty situation. In most cases it works, but I find the reset after race 1 a little unfair. It needs looking at.....

.....and there lies the problem. Too many different race formats, rules, changes, etc, etc, within one night of racing. I'm a firm believer in keeping things simple and sadly the GTTCC is going in the opposite direction. I appreciate that organising a series is difficult, making it totally fair is difficult and I understand that we have multiple formats so that it keeps things interesting. But seriously, it's just too much.

As for the ramming.... Well I kept my distance from most cars today so I didn't experience much, but again, there is too much contact going on. Some drivers are being quite cunning at times too, just giving the rear a light tap at a critical moment is irritating as hell. Sure there can be some contact to be expected, but I have raced in cleaner lobbies where people are at least polite and yield after making a mistake.

@True-blue-8 - my inbox is always open mate. I don't want to get too involved, but I'll help if and when I can. 👍

 

[NinjaEvo]

Trust me Smith, could be worse... When you posted 'guess who got a win' it took all of my strength not to reply with 'One of the drivers you've employed...'

Congrats m8, long overdue. Not surprised though, in Season 1 Rome was when you turned the corner and looked racey... 👍

Oooo that's harsh.

Thanks Ninja. I gotta say I like the schedule of races we have this season. All tracks I'm quite good at.

 

[buck1]

On a lighter note, if anyone wants to talk about my 2nd place in race 1 feel free to PM me 💡 i'll be more than happy to talk you through it 👍

Good man, good to see the confidence. 👍

 

[Doomstorm16]

I've just realised how quickly you changed your sig swith. Your clearly proud of yourself, and rightly so.

Think mines going to be changing soon as well.
