yeh i've raced Konvex before, he is clean. In a Dark Blue F430 if i remember correctly.Finally a change of luck, great racing from Sven1972BE and Konvex even though we were scrapping for 3rd place! 👍
I got a 1st place will grip/drifting with a F430 hehe
Marchbrown was there but parked at the S's
I need to install handsfree in my F430 soon. Enjoyed your smokeclouds in the turns by the way. Always exiting to stay behind you, get totaly blinded of smoke in turns, come true them and discover that the sun shines on the other side of your cloud. Nice carcontrol man..
^ very true, yesterday was the first time I had to deal with races that had upwards of 12 people and starting at the very back of the pack. By about the third lap I was normally within the top 4 to 6 people and at that point is where some hack would punt me. There was nothing that I could do. I still think it is possible to get into the mid 6'10s starting at the back of the pack though. You are starting with a bigger disadvantage time wise, but no more then 10 seconds I believe. I will check that when I get on later today.
note: mid 6'10s meaning something like a 6'15 or a 6'16. Not a 6'10.5 or 6'10.4, just wanted to settle that. : )
True... Best I did yesterday was 12th to 3rd (finished 4th because DRIVER_93 rammed me in the last corner...), but only 2 or 3 GTP/GTPRrs were online and I was very lucky escaping traffic congestions and collisions from remaining players (aka: mobile chicanes).
I said it before and will say it again:
a) No ruberband please. It's not even working well in this event. There's always 2 or 3 groups, not one.
b) Longer races, 10 laps at least. With the possibility to quit if not host.
c) Fix rolling starts. This can't be done in a single line with 5 car lengths between players. In HSR it turns the difference into 7 or 8 lengths by turn one, and if everyone ahead is as fast as you, rubber banding won't take you further than 8th or 7th, staring 12th. And that's with a lot of luck, and no mistakes...
This event would be closer to perfection with nascar type, close, side by side rolling start, no "rbe" and 10 laps length. 👍
EDIT: But then this topic would have to be changed to: High Speed Ring F430 Z06 GT-R 00-20-40 and we could only do 3 races in an hour. But it would be worth at least a try PD... (hint, hint)
And it also slowes you down too.
The rubberband effect is definitely there, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get to the top 3 or top 5 when i'm starting at the end of the pack.
If there's 1 person alone in the lead and you're trying to close a 5 second gap, the first 3 seconds will go reasonably well.
BUT getting the next second to close the gap to around 1 second is hard, since the rubber band effect is gone by that time.
IF you manage to close that gap to around 1 second it becomes easier again, since you're in the reach of his slipstream.
[GTRP]muffin;3129443Sorry Holden, wasn't my best Race.
Got some great racing going on. . . I think we got 6 GTPers online right now : )
Last race we all place 5 GTPers out of the top 6 spots : )
Starting back at :10
Hello right you know these intervals once you've finshed a race do you wait 10 minutes ?
because i want to race you guys all the time
Definately : ) I would love to enjoy a day and night of that kind of racing again : )Some AWESOME races last night on this one - hope to do it again tonight and hope they keep this event around, but I think if a Suzuka one shows up plenty of GTP'ers will jump from here to there for a bit.
Gotta mention slicecom, drama-kyd, Axle, PickleAhoy, Sysrek, L_Hamilton, and Heli Eric here because it was alotta fun hangin and racin with you guys last night. And if you were with us real late you might have actually seen GTP_CWR (Chadwicksracing) come out of retirement to put up some blistering laps - always a pleasure to watch that guy weave his way through a group.
Fine racing there mate : ). I seem to have lost a lot of skill with the F430. I used to be faster : (in at :00

I don't feel it. There are quite a few new lines that I am taking and testing out new things, but I just seem slower. my times are reflective of it too. I can't hit a low 1'12 a lap (whoops) for the life of me anymore. : (u used to be faster? damn, i'm glad you're not as fast now because i would've never caught up to you. great race.
