you are joking right?!
you punted me 3 times in one race when I was in front and you are surprised that I was fed up with you and just gave you what you deserved??
and what about next race? from the beginning you were after me,pushing,shoving and finally brake checking before the hairpin even though I didn't do anything in retaliation for your prior actions?? I think you need some reality check next time you write something like that..I always try to be fair driver & if you don't believe me you can always ask fellow GTP members do they consider me as a dirty driver..

Maybe a missunderstanding...

I've just react like that because what you done when I was 1st/2nd with Moose.

Wont happen again if you play clean as you, say.

No hardfeelings.

See you in next race, i was punted out in last race. sorry anyway.

note: A+ to L_hamilton 👍 that's it.

This event does not seam fun to me. Can't get a decent race/pace with RBE, and the lag. I keep loosing in unbelievable situations. The car overstears and snaps in one lap, and understears the next, in the exact same place. That or I'm hitting/getting hit by "omnipresent" players, jumping around the (very narrow) track. Even got some idiot going mental on me for some reason I do not know...

Maybe it's me... I'm getting old and slow...

Thanks !! 👍👍

I don't know if the RBE effects me at all..lol..I haven't had a bad race yet. All the guys I race with are incredibly clean and fast.:)
 
Spyrrari are you still racing??? Have we ever raced online against eachothers?

he mate,yeah every now and than when i have the time i do go online....with the previous online races i whas fed up with the idiots and took a long brake...
yesterday i tried the new ones and actually had a few good races on suzuka750pp....so will go there some more the comming days...if i have some time...you know:work/kids/friends/girlfriend/family/girlfriend/cleaning/girlfriend...etc etc...(did i forgot girlfriend??...)



i don't think we ever raced together yet,but hopefully soon with this new update,and 100% sure when private rooms are among us:tup:👍:)

spyrrari.
 
Had some great races tonight with GTP_Kartracer, GTPSinsemilla & TEW_Lastsamauri & a couple of other guys from Japan.
Great fun when we all out ran the punters & just had a good clean hard race!

I spent a couple of hours at Suzuka this afternoon and had pretty much the same experience.
 
I have to say that I tried the Elise last night just as a joke when my GT lm tune was really rubbish. Fell in love with the little car. Sooooo much fun on the esses.. as it is round the whole circuit... !!! Although it is very fast, but the limited ability to overtake does make the race challenging. :) ...I'm sure you'll see me with that little car again. Some day.

edit: there was some wicked race times last night (at least I think so) I came second after a red GTR... the GTR clocked 10'04.9xx and me 10'05.xxx ..never saw that kind of time again. 👍

Yea you have to watch out for fools!

GTP_ND4HoldenSP I hope I didn't push you high coming out of 1, I tried to stay as low as I could.

I don't remember you accidentally hitting me, I was being hit by obvious punters a number of times though. I knew I could have won those races and then "it" happens.:ouch: Anyway, you raced well, I remember no contact.:)

That guy, GT5police_Harry was very clean and even waited for me after an accident. He was also fast enough to kick my butte in his GT LM.
 
Regarding some comments about racing on R3's and 750pp and peoples' desire to run some S1 races;

I understand what you guys mean about wanting to race on S1's etc as I prefer low(er) grip racing normally, but after several weeks racing on Sports tyres at the HSR event this new 750pp Suzy event is a welcome change of pace for me, I love F430's but I think I've seen enough of them to last me a while.

I dunno, it just feels nice to not be fighting the car so much and being able to concentrate more on the fastest line and so far the racing has been the closest I've seen with more racers being able to make amazing comebacks and daring overtaking moves can be executed with much less risk of putting one or both drivers off the track, which can only be a good thing.

However, if you guys fancy running some races on Sports tyres on this event then we should give it a shot at some time, I'd love to be able to take some of the less competitive cars out for a spin as I've yet to see a race where my beloved F40, Tuscan and DB9 can be even remotely competitive... just say when you're up for it and I'll be there.

👍

+1:tup: (I only race 750 for these reasons)
 
This race is getting annoying already & Ive only played it about 5 times. Twice I've had the host quit the race, 4 times I've been hit off at the first corner when I've tried to be careful, get out of other racer's way and take it easy but people just plow right in hitting you & every race I've encountered idiot punters who instead of waiting for the right opportunity to pass, think anywhere is acceptable and use you as their brakes.

Its obvious some don't know the circuit & the passing points well at all. A number of drivers try to go 2 or 3 wide through 130R. Most good drivers know you need a lot of skill to pull that off but no, these guys try & take you on, either completely hitting you straight off or at the minimum, run you massively wide.

Then in one race I had a guy weave all over the track on both the front & back straights over I think it was 7th position. Geez. And of course as i tried to get past, wack, he hits me, i go spinning off & he continues fine and finishes ahead.

Frustrating stuff, but I'll keep trying.

Oh & does anyone have tips for turn 1 lap 1. I know back at Fiji it was go right to the inside & go slowly. Would it be the same for Suzuka or is there a different strategy to use? Thanks!
 
Racing with you guys is soo exhuasting, I cant relax for a second.:)
Last night was the best racing ive had,
I need to try to get on at that time more often, but work wont let me...
Always in second place, curse you Bollox and Dragon youre just too fast. lol
Luckily Drama had some drama in the last race,
and I could hunt psycho_GTRP down for the win.:)

Thats it exactly, stay slow and tight and just spectate the carnage out at the edge of the track, stay cagey until you get to denger and then you're golden to enjoy the rest of the race as thats where the action goes to single file racing which is less frantic.👍
 
Time to open up the pedals of the DFP again.
The last 2 weeks I noticed that the readings were strange, like I pressed the throttle half down and ingame it would switch between 40 and 75% very fast.
But driving in this last race I just noticed that the throttle indicator doesn't go higher than roughly 90-95%.

Lets see if my laptimes will be faster after i fix it again.
 
Another tip: Don't push it in the first half of the lap!
Races are lost or won in the first lap. Just ease on the gas and wait at least for the hairpin, if your'e good at that time the race could be great.

I see too many racers (including GTP-ers) pushing for an overtake in the first SS-es only to get punted or pulling an emergency action to avoid traffic. Just go easy in the first lap, there are 4 to go with plenty of time to overtake. :)
 
Thanks !! 👍👍

I don't know if the RBE effects me at all..lol..I haven't had a bad race yet. All the guys I race with are incredibly clean and fast.:)

Same here, maybe its because my max PP on the set ups i use is 749 (not choice just it's that or 751).

Always in second place, curse you Bollox and Dragon youre just too fast. lol

Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment :) The races I saw you in i got great starts and generally dictated the race from there. I'm glad the RBE isn't as bad as it used to be or this event would be hell to lead from with 5 laps.
 
Wow, those TEW guys are fast in their white vipers.
Had a great race against the last samurai.
 
anyone joining ad its only me from Gtp vs about 9 from the Japanese forum.
apologies if I bumped into you Zocker.
 
Japanese racers flood the PAL mornings and afternoons :dopey:

I'll be on later Im just getting used to a tuned corvette. Did a 2'00:012 in free mode well arcade...99 laps... anyways Its good for me but the time is crap for all of you guys with your wheels :sly:

I cant decide GTR or tuned Vette both are similar in times... :indiff:
 
I'll be in the clio @ xx.00.

Good going, p3nt4gr4m, i could never have kept that GT LM on track at that speed.
 
Damn lag and punting. :(
Had a great run on the straight vs two japanese 2k's, overtook them both in the center and outbraked them, then came a damn GT-R and punted me off :( 1st to 6th in one corner and not even on the first lap.

Thanks but it wasn't a GTlm it was the vanilla '06 model. And damn those clios are fast :scared:

The good news is the GT-R's are no longer the guys disappearing off into the sunset. I'm in hog heaven :D
