NFS Shift Online Endurance Challange

[RickyRacer]

After watching the SPA race it just confirms what I have always thought of the fast1, it just a textbook video of patience, clean driving and textbook passing. All new league members would benefit from watching that race...

They were good races but it all went wrong on the last race.

I decided to go with the Audi rs4 but forgot that i had not put in the tuning setting so i ended up with a under steering/ over steering RS4 that had bag loads of torque in all the wrong places it was hell to drive.

Hi everybody.

I read this thread and i see that you were using some differents cars in 10.00 and 14.00 rated races, and not only the better one (like Evo IX or Gallardo). I think it would be great if some players were doing some tests with many different 10.00 and 14.00 car, to see which one could be nice to drive in your Nordshleife endurance races. It would be seem like a Topgear Benchmark .

I saw that some players begin to show us their time (like nWcPL) with some car.

I suggest that tests could be like this:

- (Normal mode) Better time with your own game settings (I mean all assists you need), automatic/manual => shifting/glutch, in one word: free. This test would be interesting to use the car online where everybody play in normal mode, and where all you need, this is to be the 1st!

-(Pro-mode) Better time with the forced-setting you have to used in the "NFS-Shift GTP Racing League Season II", so all assist off (abs can be used). This test would be interesting to use the car in the "Nordshleife Endurance event" or in the "NFS-Shift GTP Racing League Season II".

-(Pro-mode) better time with all assists off. Manual glutch (i mean you have to glutch with your left foot), manual shifting with the "H gearbox" (not wheel-shifting or sequencial mode). Wheel settings: Rotation= 900°, Steering sensitivity= 100%, Force feedback= minimum 6 (out of 10), Speed/steering ratio= 0%. This test would be interesting to know what the car is really capable of with hardcore game settings and hardcore gameplay.

I know all people can't do video (me 1st); and a screenshot of a lap-time mean nothing if we can't see game-settings. Nobody can verify that you really use your left foot to glutch! . But, if the timelaps are share in an honest way, it would be very nice to compare car time, and maybe change our favorite car!

Ps: Hope if people are interested in those tests, that Terronium will setup some of the cars.

If something is not clear to understand, i would explain it better, english is not my mother tongue

 

[darkos]

Driving on Normal and Experienced is insulting. Whenever it's for best times or in On Line Racing. I doubt that you will find any one who would like to use those modes.

Second is that we all use Playstation 3 as gaming platform not PC and for that reason out lap times are much different, so we can't really compare them. Our cars behave different to those in PC and X360.

Your idea is not bad because i already started that. I had lap times from All cars from Tier 1 and Tier 2, and couple from Tier 4.

 

[Jimmy_apex]

I don't think playing in normal mode is insulting. It's part of the game and all the top ladder records are made in normal mode. But ok, don't talk again about this i don't want to offense you!

And i'm a Ps3 player, you can see my PSN under my pseudo

Maybe we can just keep the two lasts tests?

 

[darkos]

Maybe let's stick with the main subject. Which is Endurance Racing. If you want post separate thread called like Nordschleife Benchmark, or whatever. So then i will be more then happy to post my Videos in that thread 👍 But i think you can find two threads with lap times for this track. One is for Manufacture and second is i thing no holds barred, but with PRO mandatory setting.

Those couple of videos that i made was to show others, how much could be squeezed out of those few cars. I think that those are quite nice videos, much more to come like; Veyron, CCX, Zonda F, McLaren F1, McLaren SLR, McLaren MP... that new on, Stirling Moss, Gumpert Apollo ... and who knows if not some Prancing Horses.

And i am not offended, just i hate to race some dudes on line not having a chance because they use Ex mode. Ehhh imagine that you are racing using PRO, and your opponent is faster then you, you not making any mistakes, flawless driving. But the guy in front of you makes mistakes, goes outside track but still manages to stay ahead. For this reason we have League, WTC competition and practice runs.

I would like to welcome you to the forum.
Darkos is right we all use pro as most of us are in the racing league in the shift section.
A full listing of the rules we stick to are posted on page 1 of that thread.(which we use here)

By all means start a thread to see what intreast you get:tup:

By the way your english is tres bien mon compain.

 

[Jimmy_apex]

I understand all of that, but, some players are not posting on this forum and still interested by this type of thread to look for a good car, or a good settings, and when you play online you know that 99% of your opponents are using Normal mode to get more grip. I clearly prefer run myself in solo mode and testing cars, cause online it's hard for me to find clean racers. And i clearly prefer to play with the most hardcore setting possible, cause this game is just a load of fun when you have to fight with your steering wheel and your "H" gearbox!

I'm going to have a look to the previous Nordshleife subject, an will create a new one if i don't find what i'm looking for!

Thanks for your reply.

This is the way to welcome a newcomer...👍

So WELCOME Jimmy I hope you're a clean racer and if you join some of the regular of the league in some pratice sessions during the week,and if our ways fit to you and vice versa maybe you can consider joining the forcoming season...👍

 

[Jimmy_apex]

Thanks for you reply. Why not for the practice runs, but i really don't know if i have the experience requirement. And i have no regular time to play. So, if i can only do two races on a whole season, this is kind of useless .

 

[Zeeco_9]

I have never had enough time to practice in the 'pro' mode due to demanding daytime job and family commitments. I play Shift for the fun of it and use 'normal' mode with steering, braking assist off and traction control low. Call it semi pro or anything what you like. My online record is not bad but also not brilliant and my laptimes, well with T12's tunes not bad. Watching Darkos's videos I realise I will probably never match his driving or laptimes but so be it...I am playing to switch off from my day and want to relax. Probably a lot of people like me around so maybe a 'normal' league is not such a bad idea for us semi pros that like clean fun racing? With the emphasis on CLEAN racing 👍

Hope you find what your looking for.

We all race clean hear in this thread and the league although accidents do happen but it brings a whole new and fun experience to shift online.

You should create and organise the said event and if you have two categories (normal and pro) it may encourage the less confidant driver to enter the pro series and gain experience.

Best of luck with it anyway:tup:

Hi everyone!

After the League races this weekend, I think I'll host a bit slower race for who are interested in a race

I was thinking about these:

- 5 laps on Nordschleife with your own tuned RS4 / or with the brand new BMW M1
- 20 laps on Road America with your 10 rated Subaru / or with Evo9

I'm waiting for your respons, which race would you guys prefer!?

 

[darkos]

Do you have to ask ? I like BMW Procar idea 👍 And Evo9

 

[thefast1]

I am in if the bmw pro car is used i love that car.

 

[darkos]

Mohamu give us a date, and this time ill host the race. Last time it didn't end well for me when some else did.

Nice
But as the original organizer of the Edurance races i keep my right to host our races if you dont mind mate

Of course I'll start a text chat before the race to collect all the partipicants and I'll ask everybody to put you on their friend list I think it will make sure you can race too!👍

I'm not sure in the date anyway, perhaps we can do it on Friday at 20:00 or 21:00 GMT.

It depends the others to find a date wich fits for everybody.

 

[Mohamu]

I am in if the bmw pro car is used i love that car.

I love the BMW too!
The cars grip is like there would be glue on the tires and I haven't made any setup on it yet! I can imagine how fun will this car be on the Ring after I made my setups..
