Why do people who drive the elise think they have a right to pass you on every corner or overbrake you everywhere :banghead:

Edit: I now offically HATE elise racers 👍

LOL, sure, just lump us all together. :sly:

Seriously, though, I know what you are talking about. However, if I'm in my Elise coming through the esses, and someone in front of me makes a mistake and runs wide, I WILL be taking advantage, there is no other way to advance with this little unit because you get mowed down on the straights.

Patience and waiting for the right moment is key.
 
I hate the Elise's too.

GTLM's arn't much better.

That's the whole problem with multi-make races though. Every car has different optimum lines and braking points. Elise's seem to smash into you or lunge down the inside of you in the first sector, then over defend after the bridge-hairpin - the GTR exits there about 30kph faster than most cars...and they all over-defend...

Yet GTR's get the blame for the majority of punts. Totally unjustified!
 
Sorry guys, terrible last lap by me.

Synwraith tagged me on the first lap after the sweepers on lap1 and when he got close again in lap5, I was paranoid heading down to that double right again and came off.

Did him coming into 130R but either I didn't get far ahead enough, or he thought it's ok to go into there 2-a-breast and I think we collided.

Sorry for that guys. Wasn't intentional.

Hi there,

I am terribly sorry for the bump in degner 2, totally my fault. I came off the gas to make sure I didn't get ahead but you recovered really well. Again my most sincere apologies for that.

As for 130 R, you were on the inside and I gave you room. If you came off at 130 R on the inside by running wide and out of road, and I was on the outside, I can't take a lot of blame for that I'm afraid. You were overtaking me and it's your responsibility to do it cleanly.

That said, your pace was fantastic in the GTR. I really really enjoyed the race and had you won you would have fully deserved it. I apologise again for Degner, no excuse, just bad judgement on my behalf.

EDIT: I sent you an apology in the game via XMB as well.

All the best
Maz (Synwraith)
 
Hi, got the apology on GT5P - I didn't reply because I hate messaging on there, it's so slow lol.

I wasn't having a go for degner 2, our cars are different speeds and it's just one of those things.

As per 130R, it was a bit laggy. I kind of felt I was far enough ahead for you to back off...racing incident I guess. I've only got so much control of my car with the 6-axis lol!

Thanks for the compliment. I like to do the GTR positives...I worked at the British Motorshow on behalf of Nissan in the GTR sections, talking to customers and potential customers so I feel strongly about the car.

P.s. wasn't after an apology - it was totally minor compared to what I usually get LOL!!! I just felt I needed to give a description of that race. The main point is though I beat Pentagón...he didn't think I would be fast enough...He's kept quiet about that one ;)

Haha cool man, like I said, was a thrilling race. And I feel your pain on the sixaxis, I'm on it too with the D-pad :P I've stopped using that as an excuse after I saw what Holden and Dragonistic were coming up with in the hotlaps!

I do like the GTR, I used in to great effect in the Suzuka F430 vs GTR. That's still been my favourite event of all so far. It's just not the same when you don't see Timppaq, zabeu, Honeycar, Tameturtle, Racer_LP and Truth123 in the same race any more.

All the best
Maz (Synwraith)
 
Most of that went above my head!

My brother uses both sticks, I used to use the shape buttons, but now use the shoulder buttons for races.
 
Making xx.30 in my GTR.

Synwraith you lagged out the last race - very dissapointed!

I've had 9 fosters cans now, so racing will be gradually going down hill as my TV gets more and more blurry lol! Should still be able to kick Pentograms but though...

Booted from that one. The GTLM's were all over me...

Know what you mean about those Elise drivers, in capable hands...a very fast car....but tonight...mainly a helping hand into the sand through the esses
 
Had a look at that online PP750 free-run time trials thing.

Reckon I could get into the 57's.

Is it worth the effort?
 
Le sigh, got smashed into the wall on the back straight - and by a GTP tagged driver too. Not like there wasn't plenty of room.

Giving up on Suzuka for today, need a clear head and the challenge of a new car.
 
Took a good few races to get back in to the swing tonight after a few nights away with work, so sorry for any rubbish driving early doors

Lots of good battles over the last couple of hours.... particularly with gtrp_schnaidi & another with helieric... have to pedal the viper extra hard to keep up with the gtlm's!

+1 mate:tup:
did you remember gt5.net exact id??? if i know him i will kick him:scared::):):)

i call elise...'the parasite' and in good hands (rudi, timpaq and others:sly:) impossible to escape it....arf i used to go slow on straight to express i don t agree:ouch: imagine elise beat me by 2 sec on s corners then i beat it by 2 sec on straight ...same you will say...but not at all:crazy:
first it's more easy doing mistakes on s part than on straigth where you just have to wait .....
then imagines that im' ahead with my gtlm by 2 sec to an elise after t1 she catch me then she follow me easy on straight with my speed and on finale managed to do a 1'55'xx :crazy:
when i ear some crying that use gtlm is not fair...what do you think about that???? :dopey:

Nah I cant remember his exact psn! He drove a white evo x tuned!

I agree an elise driven well is awesome. But tonight its crap. They just punt and generally dont seem to care!
 
That's you?!? Man I wondered where Cashwars had disappeared to!!

All the best
Maz (Synwraith)

Want some company at the back there wanna_be? I bet i can build a bigger same castle than you lol.
 
A very big sorry to the LR- tagged GTLM drivers, I think I gave them a series of bumps and bruises and neither were intentional. Someone wiped me out at the chicane so I guess I got what I deserved!

Hopefully that was not me, i know the draft caught me out and i bumped you from behind, you did carry on and Fak_Evil then took me out, think it was the next lap i saw you parked up at the chicane

Hi . i had the same problem last night.they have way more speed thru the corners but lack the top end so to keep their lap time good they will punt you - not cool.
 
doing the xx.30,then I'm done for the night

Good race there Maziar, my tune just couldn't close that gap enough to catch your draft
