Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen

[daddyo845]

The forum is very friendly and informative.

 

[Phouchg]

P.S. That Volvo at the Station Hairpin! 👍👍 Almost worth being back in the pack to watch that.

It was a bit tight there.. One time I came in behind Melon in the skyline (which is also huge) and she was braking a bit earlier than i expected, so i bumped in to her.. was so close that that ship of a skyline didn't make it round the turn after that...

 

[watermelon punch]

Oh yes, I find that I have to brake a bit early in that old Skyline. (or else it's worse )

I must say though that @amarynceos did very well in that Skyline at nurb! I was amazed that he was keeping up for awhile with cars I know to be faster and easier to drive!

 

[LongbowX]

Why not just come to the forum?
I mean you don't have to do anything special to just sign up & post when you want to race.
Like you don[' need to be a big geek like me and read endless threads about nonsense in the rumble strip and the "cars in general" sections.

I suppose people have their reasons. Obviously no matter how nice, or informative or friendly a forum might be, it's not right for everyone.

We'll see if I get a response today.

 

[Handlebar]

Looking forward to racing tomorrow. I took a few laps at Monza, Madrid... I had forgotten just how blamed slow these cars were! Should be an exciting race of putt-putt cars. 👍

[Phouchg]

Aww you're just too fast for me Longbow.. although I probably should have gotten more points in monaco as I did pass you guys going out on lap 2.. and then decided to drive straight in to the wall ^^ Would have had a shot at not just you guys but the guys you passed in the end of the race too. So yeah I'm my usual self making stupid mistakes.

Hey @watermelonpunch , I've finally bought that mustard yellow colour again, might have to start using it on just about every car to keep up the traditions.

 

[daddyo845]

I think your yellow color looks awesome phouchg. I also know how you feel I make stupid mistakes that often screw my race up too. I'm just glad I don't usually screw someone else up when I make my huge mistakes. I need to stop making these mistakes because I feel like I could do better against you guys if I got rid of these mistakes. I don't think I'm horrible and I feel as though I'm of similar skill as some of you but I keep ruining my own races. I have a lot of fun anyway. It's not about winning its about having fun. It is nice to win of course. You can't deny that fact.

 

[LongbowX]

@Phouchg Luck has something to do it too. You put in some really great performances! After the unfortunate start I really didn't think I had a shot. But I merely had some good finishes towards the end. Everyone makes mistakes, I make plenty.

 

[daddyo845]

Honestly, I don't even think you think you are as good as you are longbow. You don't give yourself enough credit.

 

[LongbowX]

I know how good I am: not good enough.

 

[daddyo845]

Oh come on longbow. You're better than me. That's not saying much . I'm kidding you are better than me and you are one of the best in the shuffle group. I'm not bad, but I'm not great at least I don't think I'm that great. I can race clean I feel a lot of the times I do poorly its my own fault and I wreck a lot.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I'll be driving tomorrow. 👍

 

[LongbowX]

@daddyo845 If you saw my PSN list, you'd get where I'm coming from.

 

[daddyo845]

Well I'm not even friends with you on psn even though I probably should add you.

 

[watermelon punch]

I know, @doodlemonoply AND @LongbowX (and several other fast people) are on my PSN friends list.
I can't do a time trial without seeing tons of blue lines go shooting out ahead & disappearing beyond my line of sight.


Speaking of which, I was doing some career stuff today to maybe get some credits worked back up after my shopping spree &tried one of those Coffee Break things... the drift trial.

I couldn't even make bronze. In fact, bronze was 2,300 pts or something... and I was getting 285.
I can't knock down the cones either.

And I think there's only been 2 seasonal time trials I made silver.

 

[TheConzio]

Sorry guys, about all the incidences that I made. I was just way too tired to be careful on the track (I almost fell asleep during race intermissions, and missed most of the conversations)

And as it's been stated to me, I can't participate anymore. Have fun on the tracks!

 

[Handlebar]

For drifting (like crazy drifting, smoke everywhere), do you use a DS3?

I found it much easier. May be worth a shake.

@TheConzio , I would suggest if you are too tired to drive carefully, it is likely you are too tired to race online with others. Get some rest, good luck.

 

[daddyo845]

I can't drift or knock down cones for my life either.

 

[amarynceos]

I must say though that @amarynceos did very well in that Skyline at nurb! I was amazed that he was keeping up for awhile with cars I know to be faster and easier to drive!

That Skyline actually handled way better on the 'ring than I thought it would! It didn't hurt that I've been a bit obsessed with that track since GT4, and have done literally thousands of laps (used to help run a thread devoted to the Nordschleife at GameFAQs, years ago). Not that all those laps seem to prevent me from stuffing it up right before Brunnchen, though -- the Skyline really plows badly in those downhill sections. And chugs up the uphill ones XD.

Also, yeah. Drifting can kiss my 🤬🤬. I actually got a nice fat goose egg when I tried one of those coffee breaks. Full respect to the skill it takes, but it is just not my cup of tea.

Visual aid for @daddyo845 (he's learning the names, right daddyo? )

 

[daddyo845]

To be honest GT in my opinion is not a drifting game. It's a racing simulator.

 

[daddyo845]

Yes thanks. What you expect to me to know all of the sections off the track just off memory . I'm kidding but yeah it gets tricky heading into brunchenn and the areas after it with a boat of a car

 

[watermelon punch]

The s800 was a real treat on most of the nurburgring. 👍
A bit of trouble in some lift up spots, but otherwise very well behaved.
Love that car though - one of my favourites in the game.

 

[amarynceos]

Yeah, I knew I was doomed when that little car kept filling up my mirrors no matter how hard I pushed. o_O;

Anyhoo, time to get to know the Autozam for tomorrow's opener. Only driven it once and it was fun -- when it was pointed forward, that is!

 

[daddyo845]

Yes be careful with the autozam it's tricky but very fun and quick

 

[gazleton]

I'm sorry but I won't be able to make it tonight. Hope you can fill the space.

 

[Phouchg]

@LongbowX I know what it feels like to have to have a lot of fast friends on your friendslist, really humbling. ^^ But you're great compared to the "normal" GTP user.

I was expecting the Volvo to do pretty good on the ring, because of the fast nature and not a lot of sharp turns. Thought that would be perfect for it.. forgot to check how it faired though, did it do good?

I was really surprised with the autozam driving it on eiger in the rain. the oversteer felt really progressive and easy to handle. In testing I thought it was more on and off and just surprised you at times. So looking forward to driving it tonight.

 

[LongbowX]

Oh yeah...humble. That's how I feel...

@watermelonpunch Don't worry about the drifting, I don't think it's much fun either.
