You guys are all just too used to race cars on race tires with downforce.

Not anymore.

Now I'm used to road cars with a lot of power But it's still slippery

No problem back in the day we did the F1 in GT5P on comfort hard (called N1 then)

I’m the opposite, I’ll take slippery road cars all day. I just can’t seem to grasp the high down force cars most of the time.

I'm the same, which is how we end up here sometimes.

That said, we tried to find the supercar with the most grip for this, so I'm not sure if it's the track catching people out, or if it's really the car.

Tried a whole bunch of N600 stuff, and this was soooo much better than anything else. It immediately clicked.

I like the combo, I don’t find it bad for grip. It’s a powerful road car and you do have to be careful with it, but it’s definitely not a PD Special either. I’m quite enjoying it.

It's the track with me I like the car, always find it really difficult to get any rhythm at Fuji, most of the corners seem the wrong shape for me somehow

BB -2 still and working hard to manage the front tire grip while in the corners.

About last night, was a bit on the edges of the track. But I'm not 100% sure if I'm clean.


First picture is the entry of the chicane and the second one is the exit of the 2nd to last corner had a bit of a happy tail moment there

All red rumbles are not track. Dirty.

Ok that is something completely new.

Please explain yourself?

Because the curb rule exists as long as I can remember and is also written in te OP

• Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track.

To be fair it's crystal clear in the specifics for the event at the start of the post, it's rare for them to be unclear on the limits for each one

If you check the specifics for this combo we stated that all red rumble strips are not track. White and red rumble strips are track. In your first pic left front wheel in on the full red rumble, right wheel in the grass.

The Red and White rumbles are track, bit the solid red, orange, green, etc are not. I'm not sure if past iterations of this track had all those extra rumbles.

Sort of like the green stuff at Suz, we try to draw the line somewhere reasonable.

 

[DTM]

Ok didn't knew about the specific rule for this combo. So my second photo is clean?

Below is the pertinent language from the OP. Your second pic looks just legal from that angle. Any further off would be OB, as your left rear would no longer be touching red and white rumble with tread.

• Red and White Rumble Strips and Tarmac are Track Surface. No other surfaces are track.
• Green Areas, all-red rumbles ( Exit right of Coca-Cola, and exit right of the 2nd to last turn) ARE NOT LEGAL

BB -2. Helps with the understeer and the oversteer.

 

[Rikson]

BTW:anyone here who allso is used to run TT's and using the ghost of your fastest lap?
It's nice PD built in those opportunities to load ghost and give them a 0 to 2 second advance and sector reset but there's one problem..I can't see my own ghost except the particular one I ran in the stint so far.
Just wandering..?
