And it sounds to me like traffic is only 2 sec per lap slower, so it will take ~47 laps to lap us. Much better than the 15-20 that it usually is :P
 
There's a thin line between pushing hard in the qualifier for a good grid position which will be important for the race, and bumping one object on that hot lap and landing a place in room B. Which will you choose?,.. See you for the tense qualifier fellas' 👍
 
Will most likely be in room B, missing 4 days, including a race ain't helpful for a borderline qualifier like myself.

At least the tracks open out after this, with Twin Ring been the only place where there might be an issue. Man that tracks tight. Been taken out so many times on forza lol
 
I'm scheduled to qualify tensor right about now. Feel free to join if anyone is lucky to see this post in time :P

Room number

People who are in collisions alot, may I recommend shuffle racing. It really improves your driving and makes you more aware of others

Qualifying is now open for this week's race. This will be the post that will be used for the qualifying results. It is going to be this Saturday at 7ET. It will be at Cote d'azur aka the streets of Monoco and will be an hour long race (TBD Laps)

This post here will detail the results, procedures and etc on how we do qualifying (See OP for more details). Qualifying is over and final 12 hours before the scheduled start of the race.

The chart below details the current qualifying standings. This will be updated as the week goes forth and when a new page is made I will quote this post

Current Qualifying Results:
D8859485_68769882_625668

To qualify you can either PM a steward here on GTPlanet, post a post on here with a public room number for a steward to join, or if you are friends on PSN with a steward you can PM them on there. Below is the list of Stewards that can qualify you (as of now)

GTPlanet name (PSN name)

- XxShaggxX (Xx-Shagg-xX)

- KingBestJr (same)

- kk20 (killa_kandy)
- alefin (same)
- Bennen13 (benny1342)

Note that Stewards must qualify with other Stewards
 
I know why I hate Monaco.

With my driving style I like a pointy controlled oversteer car. But I'm having issues with the 500s with rear grip. I just can't feel the rear in them :/. Tried various setups and I just think its the nature of the car. So with this lack of confidence I jam the throttle on off until I know the rear has grip and won't spin me off into the wall. This is bad for the streets of Monaco, and explains why my pace was so bad for the Nurburgring.
Anyone who's watched me lap will verify I have a strange throttle application, Killa especially.

But this lack of confidence in the car is what makes this series great for me. I know I'm developing as a driver and adjusting my style to suit the car. There's no point I feel in racing with something I fully know what it's going to do, as I don't get better that way. Yes sure it's fun to go in it every now and then to set some blistering laps, but I wouldn't want to enter a long series with it.

Much like basketball. I rarely miss a layup, is good to practice them to keep the skill there, but what use is a player who can only make layups? That's why I practice my jumpshot, it's much harder, more frustrating than a layup, but makes you a better all-round player (someone tell Blake Griffin).

Quite possibly the greatest analogy in the history of analogies... 👍

:lol: But god can he dunk.

Think that was his point... haha :lol:
 
For the final 4 races of the season I'm going to post a detailed track guide. Hopefully it will cut down on the number of incidents during the race, and will give some of you an insight into the track.

For those that hate reading long posts. Is your loss lol.
 
Practicing in room 1472-6399-8408-2427-4061. Any stewards around for qualify?

Done. Thanks Al!
