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

[Rich S]

Maybe we should turn boost on for quali races at SSRX.

If the chase was now I'd be third due to MULE having more laps then me

Look at it as Joint Second, both of you six points behind Niop right now, along with Drop and Tom.

Three races left for those with a win so far, to try and close the gap on Niop going into the Chase, or for others (like mysef, Joe, Spurgy, Furi and Red) to get on even par with the One Race Winners.

Just for clarity, I know what Drop has said about leaving, but shouldn't he officially have the Wildcard spot at the moment, just in case he returns?

Great to have a full grid on Saturday, but the race was missing the likes of Drop, Joe, Carbon and Tom.

My race was ruined on Lap 1. Got tagged by Kartman. Managed an epic save to get it straight and foot back down with drive, before a still spinning Kartman left me nowhere to go.

Attempts were made with the Fords to get back, and I think it would have been possible if it wasn't for Kartmans continous lag. At the back of the train he kept bump lagging causing himself engine damage and losing the draft, for me to keep falling back to get him while trying to hang onto the back of Dragon and Mule (who's mic was very quiet on Sat btw).

Still, we got HSR around the corner. Need to put some laps down before Saturday. Let's see if I can break my unlucky streak here in SC. Always felt I had a good car, but luck has never been on my side here.

Yep, you are correct. Error on my part.

 

[Müle]

We can go back to hards!

 

[Knelly]

We can go back to hards!

Meaning? Has something changed?

Oh. Just read. Great news.

 

[RedPartyhat]

sigh

 

[Spurgy 777]

What's wrong with hards now that we've got this new update?

 

[smuffyatfcp]

Oh. Just read. Great news.

There’s about 4 setting for tyre wear now.

 

[gokartman78]

and physics go to offline one's, so less oversteer/more understeer

double sigh
There goes my setups


Ah well who knows, perhaps I can be more competitive on road courses with the updates.

yep. it means all setups probably need to be re-worked. it is a bummer

 

[Furinkazen]

Does that mean you can flip over online?

 

[RedPartyhat]

Anyone want to do some testing later today with the new physics? I'm curious to see how offline physics will be like in pack racing at ovals and such.

Won't be on until 4PM EST though =\

 

[smuffyatfcp]

Oh, can you imagine flipping at Daytona after a wreck?

 

[Spurgy 777]

Yep, offline physics means it's easy to flip

 

[RedPartyhat]

Haha I hope not
But it is easier to do some side by side racing with the A.I in offline more and the outside line can be a good option sometimes in offline racing so I hope that can be the case here:tup:

 

[Spurgy 777]

I was being serious RPH, it's really not that hard to flip with offline physics

 

[RedPartyhat]

Yea I know, is it possible to flip cars in online though? I would think that PD wouldn't allow cars to flip online. Because I don't really want to look rearview and see 3-4 cars upside down after a wreck

EDIT: Nope, someone confirmed on the 2.09 thread that you cannot flip online.

 

[Matty]

Wrecks at Daytona and SSRX or anywhere for that matter will be much worse now as if you flip you need to wit to be reset..

All in all I think it makes it more realisticfor driving and for a possible move to Sports tyres in the future.

 

[Niop]

With the 2.09 update, we will definitely be making some changes, but nothing until after this weekend's race. So for HSR we will still have RM tyres and the tyre wear/fuel consumption will be set to normal.

 

[Knelly]

Good to know before I started testing 👍

 

[MustangRyan]

I wish there was a setting for "old physics" or "new physics" or for "tirewear off" vs "tirewear on" vs "tirewear x2."

Thanks for reading, PD.

 

[Knelly]

Thanks for reading, PD.

Show off

 

[homeslice47]

Come on guys get motivated! Don't let niop run away with the championship!

 

[Carbonox]

Will Drop now be back?!

 

[Matty]

I highly doubt it but it would be awesome as he's only missed SSRX in any case.

 

[Niop]

I don't think they're too worried. It's just a waiting game until the chase starts.

 

[Knelly]

I highly doubt it but it would be awesome as he's only missed SSRX in any case.

And still in a Chase spot with a win under his belt!

 

[MustangRyan]

I expect that Tom will pass me in points before the season is out, so I'm not expecting to make the Chase. A part of me still wants to run the Brickyard 400, as winning that race was the only goal I had when this season started. But, I doubt that is going to happen now that I don't have a seat with Ford.
