Running this right now. Interesting to note the 2J and Panoz GTR-1 are both in this race. They are not very competitive so far...between 5-15 sec a lap slower.

not able to log on right now, are the old ones still there or are these new 20 min ones the only option now?

Pretty much the only option now, but I get a feeling the payouts might be worthwhile.

New ones are the only ones available.

Anyone notice if credits have increased?

Not sure about the credits.

Running the Ring race right now. Cars range from 65 to 83, race looks pretty entertaining so far.

 

[Xenn]

Guys, the credits are pretty good here. I think i've done about 3-4 races now, and already above 100,000+ credits.

 

[BoostedDC2]

Looks like the V8 Vantage is still around, still bringing up the rear too.

 

[zippy_the_cat]

I wouldn't mind having pretty much this exact set of races to run myself as a seasonal, never mind their B-spec potential.

Running la sarthe right now with a full grid and it's awesome to watch

Running la sarthe right now with a full grid and it's awesome to watch

It is, watching it for the 3rd or 4th time. Noticing the vehicle line up changes. 1st run had 2J and Panoz GTR-1 the current race I'm watching has the 2J but no GTR-1

I am noticing these cars are not geared properly for this race...

I came in 6th on la Sarthe and got 12,920.. seems pretty normal to me, but I never paid much attention to the payouts.

I don't think the 2J really belongs. It just looks out of place when you have all these cool LMP cars on track. I'm hoping I get placed in the Toyota GT-One next time

I completely forgot to see what the payouts are. Thanks for the reminder hehe.


I wish they had some better cars to watch for nurburgring. Some type r, nsx, 240, rx-7, etc.... Would've been my choice

 

[sanmusa]

My first remote race from the first batch and my Bob is leading on R246 with the NSX Type R! Way to go!

 

[oboe67]

Is the widget still working with the new set of races?

 

[doctorrg]

Does the host suddenly get a better payout? Or am I just imagining things?

Did you host, or someone else?

I've made like $500K in 5 hours. Hosting. I'm sure I've never gotten that much before.

One of the reasons I love remote races: watching the scenery. When I do a-spec I don't EVER get to notice the beautiful landscapes that the devs put into the game. 👍 I never really paid attention in straight b-spec because I always had it in list mode so I could see the splits. With remote racing, I actually get to see some of the back drops. It's really quite amazing. (And no I don't normally watch for hours. Just waiting for my fiance to get out of the shower so I can get ready for work.)

edit: morning spelling mistakes. coffee time!

 

[thefasterstig]

Hosted two this morning before work though watching the Nurburgring technically made me late Shall be hosting more tonight so a big thanks to all who continue to race me back and shame be brought upon those souls who don't!

Agree with this...it is a great way to enjoy some of the high points of the graphics.

I ran the Laguna Seca race last night and watched my Bob start in last place in the A/C Cobra (not the Premium Shelby) and make a banzai run to first! Amazing driving for once!

I also love the chase cam view looking out the back of the cars...great way to see the action up close.

 

[nickxx4360]

I host almost every day for 8 hours -+. I never saw 500k plus in 5 hours soo the payouts must be better.

 

[zippy_the_cat]

The loading times for adding other people's drivers to the race also seem a lot quicker than before. Kudos to PD.

Toally agree...and the first question that came to mind this morning watching the race around the Ring was...."Who mows the lawn around the track?"....

 

[toymdngn]

i LOVE the new b-spec remote races. haven't paid much attention to payouts (havent cashed out yet) but i do like watching, especially the Ring race. it's not 10-25 laps of the same thing, it's 2 laps, and you get to really check out the scenery, rather than focus on the racing.

I checked in on my Bob the other day in a remote race. He was so dead last it wasn't funny. Guess what car he was driving?

 

[toymdngn]

the nismo 400R is the new vantage on the daytona road course...

I would imagine that since they did away with the 5/10 minute races and went to ALL 20 minute races, the servers are taking less damage. Just a guess..
