GTP NASCAR Sprint Cup S4 Champs: Akmuq, Hendrick, Chevrolet

[RedPartyhat]

Stupid behavior? Like the three times you dive bombed me in the truck race in turn 3 and nearly taking me out while you were nowhere near close to making the turn yourself?
At least Matty is a hazard only do through lag, you are a hazard because of the way you drive.

 

[Matty]

Right, Matty should not be allowed to go through to the final All-Star Race and here's why.

The Irishman firstly took out the field through lag. He's been lagging the entire race. That wreck caused Carb the most significant tire wear out of anyone and even without a caution, he would have needed to pit.

Matty DID NOT drop to the back even in the first half of the race to avoid wrecking other drivers and causing tire wear and degradation. That just shows how much he cares about the others drivers in the field.

He then took me out by shuffling his rear end and then a few others later on.

What's more? Matty lagging isn't new. The way in which he did not show any of the other drivers battling any fairness by not dropping back and trying to fight in last 5 laps when we would have had all 7 drivers still battling. Instead, he insisted on giving 'lag bumps' and compromising the other drivers.

I won't be racing tonight and I hope Matty shouldn't be allowed either putting rightfully Carbonox 5th.

He's a danger to the field and risks ruining this event through not just his connection but stupid behaviour.

I'll admit the lag was there and I decided I would stay there until I was told to move, which I wasn't.

And just tell me where I made a stupid move and I'll disprove it because I didn't do any.

Nice to see you sticking up for your driver.

Did I take you out of the race and contention? Nope.

How many other drivers divebombed? Hmmm...

The problem here is Matty's driving which cost JGR's team chance at qualifying. Not my driving. I think I'll have 4 onlookers vouch for my driving today.

"a network error had occurred. Returning to the gran tourism main menu."

This game hates me.

UNTIL I WAS TOLD TO MOVE? 💡

Stupid move. You just said it.

 

[Carbonox]

Didn't enter the main event because, in reality, there was no reason and the whole decision looked very rushed, and the debate wasn't exactly a clear one.

I can't bear to race in this again TBH, all it has caused are sleepless nights and disappointments after nearly every race I did. I started as someone whose oval races were always ruined by one dreadful moment, and finished off without becoming anything better. But, I can't say I'd be leaving without getting some sort of lesson - from here on out, I've learned not to expect too much from any series, no matter how good things are looking at the beginning.

Never again will I get left alone without teammates or a tune, wondering why the car is so far off the pace, wrecking people here and then by inconsistent driving and also wondering if it was ever going to turn into good.

 

[Müle]

Have they started?

 

[Carbonox]

Have they started?

18 laps in...

 

[Müle]

:/

Oh well. It's not letting me connect.to the server. No idea why. Perfect way to cap off the week.

 

[cgr-10]

Well, looks like a good time was had by all.

 

[Carbonox]

Smuffy was taken off but will easily finish on the lead lap. Looks like Matty got a lag bump from behind which caused chaos.

EDIT: Matty wins as half the field wreck on final straight. But obviously, 10 lapper still coming up.

GJ MATTY! MORE LAG FOR US!

 

[smuffyatfcp]

3 races wrecked 3 times. Nationwide is cleaner

 

[Carbonox]

And Mustard wins a fiery race, but I feel there's gonna be some controversy...

 

[Knelly]

That sucks mule. Everyone had a chance to win as well.

It was fun.

 

[Furinkazen]

Car just lost all "go" Weird.

Yes I have to look at it again.... I think I got under the red car (Knelly?) on turn 3 and he moved down on in to block and I pitted him across the track unintentional really. I had the choice to go under the yellow line or to pit him or to hit the brakes. No good choices really. Sort of did a last lap Tony Stewart at Talledega but oh well.

Do you use a wheel with dirty pedals? My throttle used to flicker out sometimes.

Nope my DS3 was fine. I ended up mysteriously 24 hp down though...

Yeah if you use newer cars it helps, some think broken in cars are faster though. I should have read the rules on the final. Quite honestly wasn't planning on making it to the last race, figured there'd be a full room of crazed drivers.

Droptop was nice to let me into the race with my new car (I never thought of using a broken in car, I never do anymore). It takes me 2 minutes in the time trials to make 1 million after all.

Checkers or Wreckers Rich. Nice win.

Just hurts a little leading all that time, having my plan thwarted by getting turned. But hey ho!

At least we have a new All Star Winner and a different name on a trophy : tup:

 

[Furinkazen]

And NW driver to boot, hope for the future of SC 👍

 

[Müle]

So basically, it was like Edwards/Keselowski at Talladega?

 

[Knelly]

Coming out of 4 I had the inside line and the Red Bulls led by Rich moved to sneak in on the inside. I came down to block and thought Rich was under the yellow (but not watched it back) and as he squeezed his way through, pitted me.

If he was above the yellow, then I have nothing to complain about as it was every man for themselves at that point!

In fact, think I'll check.

EDIT : Yep, I was turned by Rich above the yellow line as it was me coming down to block.

Must have been the first time all ten laps that I drifted up coming out of 4, but I seem to recall that it was because I was also worried about Joe passing me on the high side so was trying to anticipate who would get the better run.

The Red Bulls did

 

[Rich S]

I had the momentum to do the outside pass, would have been cleaner. Oh well, when the adrenaline is going you dont think.

 

[Matty]

I had the momentum to win myself, but I don't think I could have without crossing the line so I just pushed Rich
