Online Racing -> Apologies Here!

B24
Yes l remember seeing you there last night.Seems lm not the only one trying to keep the nsx in a straight line!Buggers to control on the limit, but it was very quick on the straight.
I changed to the viper as l saw the gtp guys racing them.Problem was l have never driven the viper till last night and spent my time tuning it with no traction control or other aids.Its not as quick as the nsx in some respects but it does have it positive points.
I will be back online in a few days

cheers

NSX is a beast on the straights, I can catch most of those WRX' without their slipstream, but once you get tagged in a NSX it's over, you're just going to spin. I'm starting to get the hang of the NSX now, I'm really loving it! See you on GT oin a few days!
 
Apologie to GTP_Beerz for yesterday's online bumps! even tho once you hit me for no reason and knocked me off track :( but ok.

I hate it when i get bumped and then take out the driver infront of me. So annoying!

I have a lot of trouble setting it up for the quick corners leading up to Spoon@ Suzuka. Its either on or OFF! Well I can only try to work on the perfect set up.I will use the NSX next week and sort it for Fuji on tuesday 9pm sharp then every 15min after.

cheers
 
Track/event: Fuji/GTR

Appologies to doubleFault. I got a bit to aggressive trying to peg another driver who was ramming us both for a few races. I had enough and simply started blocking and break-checking the rammer while doubleFault was up front. The rammer finally made it around me and began tagging doubleFault, I managed to nail him a few times to keep him off but at one point he got a bit ahead of me. I got a bit to agressive on the 2nd to final turn and bumped them both. Sorry about that. Anyway doubleFault went on to win, I came in last.

Really? I don't remember any of that. Not even you bumping me.
Where on the track was that? What car were you driving?
Anyway, if I did that, I'm sorry. That usually happens mostly on T1, but because I get rammed.
I usually wait for the other car when I do that (by myself, not when I'm pushed to a collision) , GTP member or not.



And who the hell just rammed me braking for 130R? I know there were two red R8's running, one of them driven by someone with a GTP tag. It was one of them.
Whoever it was, it was no accident. Unless someone found a way to go flat out on it...
Was fighting for the lead, completely ruined my race. :grumpy:

That would be me or my mate awd208, we were neck and neck coming up to 130r and got hit hard by a ferrari coming up at full steam, I hope that clears thing up. We both got slammed pretty hard and i think my mate hit you. Sorry on his behalf. 👍
 
rmk700 and turismo-z. Apologies if I my Clio gets a little loose coming out of the slow turns. I am literally fighting to keep the thing going in a straight line. I am not intentionally weaving to keep you behind me, particularly coming out of the chicane. There's just not much space to work with and for me the RWD moves around a lot.

We are racing really close so thanks for not making contact. Makes me wish the races were longer!!!👍

No prob at all.

It's a blast of a challenge just trying to get around you. The crazy thing is when I fight like no tommorrow and if I get lucky and make it past, You just get the lead back on the back straight. That Clio drafts very well.:indiff:

No question.... you do great with that Clio. 👍


I have to apologies to Forgetful, No excusses, I bumped him off the track badly. :banghead:

Geez, that felt like a train had rammed me. Went wide on 130R, then it skid out of control and ended up on the left side, facing the wall.

My neck still hurts, you know? :P
 
Hey, everybody. Let me introduce you to bodanker - a longtime contributor on a couple of the other GT Forum sites. He will be a welcome addition to this forum I hope. Always helpful and involved, loves the game as do I.
Thanks sxboyd! :cheers:


On a totally unrelated note: apologies to GTP_vanos2990! I was trying to give you my line on the straight at Suzuka, not block you... sorry! Next time, I'll just keep my line.

Saw that in my rear view mirror it looked like one of those situations where you both were trying to anticipate each others move and you both ended up doing the exact same thing, it was quite funny to watch. anyways good racing bodanker
 
Bodanker,

I know we had some contact out at Suzuka tonight. Sorry if I cut you off. Was just trying to hold my line. It can be tough running AWD against that F430. Good racing with you though.

Relay
 
not sure if he ever gets on here but.....Riakonenracefan I break checked the crap out of you by mistake! Sorry. omaha68 or something like that kept ramming from behind and some how the 2 of you switched positions. I have had some great races with rrf previously and was upset to find out i nailed the wrong person.

I probably caused most of that contact, sorry. I can't remember any incident with you, so no hard feelings. 👍

I know what you mean about the differences between the two cars. Very different braking points and power lead to a lot of position-swapping.
 
wonderwiley, i just wanna say great race i tryied as much as possible not to hit you from behind and i was braking very early because i know the f430 needs to brake a lot earlier than the audi R8. i tapped you on the hairpin, sorry about that so i let you take back the spot. on 150R i took it much faster than you and i thought you would move left for the last chicane but you stayed on the right. i guess to protect the inside line and i didnt let off the gas and so i tapped you slightly, i am not sure if that is what made you miss your braking point or not, but for what it is worth i apologize if it did.

on a side note, i might have to switch to the f430 cause once i get behind one they are very hard to pass with the R8 if they maintain the racing line. cya on the track. i truly enjoyed the race, you are a very fast driver.
 
Apologies to phreak_of_nature and to TAKATA_DOME. I managed to get into both of them at Suzuka tonight. I hit TAKAT_DOME in his Amuse Opera 350 going into the hairpin, then I managed to hit the phreak_or_nature going into last turns and set him offline just enough to allow TAKAT_DOME to complete a pass on the inside. SORRY.

ZZowy. Thanks for staying to the right coming out of the hairpin so I could complete the pass there. Please let me know if I tagged you anywhere. I like to keep my driving clean.

Great racing guys/gals.
 
Appologies to GTP_vanos2990....I popped up in a 600pp on fuji with you last night....and completely randomly my brother showed up as well (MagikalTrev). We had our own little battle going on and I think you kinda took some unintentional hits in our excitement.
 
Apologies to TAKAMA_DOME. Racing in Suzuka tonight I managed to brake too late and I "slightly" managed to touch his taillight. Sry mate! Good race.
 
Wow good race just now at Pro600Suzukka. Kinda ticked off because this guy...PSN Professional---- just hit me on the last corner and made me spin. So him and Zodicus managed to pass. Still good race but alittle ticked off. :/
 
To GTP_KARTRACER and GTP_SimcoeAce. I had only seen another GTP racer on once before, so to get 2 in one race was awesome. Of course soon after the race gets underway I totally choke! I always brake way too early for the chicane, and this time we all came together there. I think they were waiting for each other so I tried to get out of their way and then screwed up again 2 corners later. I raced with them once more and then had to quit. They were really fast and I hope I didn't embarrass myself too much while racing with them

Nope it wasn't your fault, I got a little flustered and F-ed up, that was good racing though hope to see you again
 
AH... I think I remember someone "stopping short" - it confused me: I thought maybe a deer had run across the road. ;)

I'm not too experienced on Fuji, so I'm not too sure of my braking points either.
 
I've never posted here before, but I feel an apology is necessary to everyone I raced today (esp. GTP_Div for staying in on a particulary long and pathetic Suzuka race). Just got a wheel DFGT, never had one before, and I drive like I'm drunk, lost, and 5yrs old. Had to quit 1 race, hope I wasn't the host. Love the clean, competeive races, and I'll be there again soon (or go back to the PS controller for online).

You might want to practice some more with the wheel before you go online, but don't abandon the wheel - you will grow to love it...
 
:lol:

That was really something, I was expecting a good race when I saw GTP...and it came out to be a race where laps where in the 3;30.xxx range !
 
The good racing in me is coming back soon, did a little better the 2nd time (also with GTP_Div), but staying out of online with the wheel for now. Too bad, I was really looking forward to a great 1 on 1 with a GTP_ member.
Next time, I'll be a worthy opponent. (Div,- I know we were hardly "racing", but I still felt bad nudging you in the hairpin, just couldn't handle the car).

Hydro:dunce:
 
sorry sockbat [AU]; 700PP fuji intermediate
was just getting used to the blitz, and did a few taps that weren't cool :(
tried to let you win at the end, but you were a bit close to me and i braked too late. My bad!
 
To TAKATA_DOME AGAIN!!!! I seem to get him about once every time we race going into the hairpin at Suzuka. I even wrecked there trying to miss him, so we really use different braking/turining points on that turn. Sorry again, Takaata.

BTW. In one of the next races, you sure were easy on me. I was hossting that race, so maybe you thought I might quit if you dominated me the waay I deserved that race (it was pretty bad). I don't quit ever unless someone is being a real jerk. Usually I just pull over and let them race by themselves if it gets stupid. Great racing. Thanks.
