Online racing tips and secrets.

[Tazz69]

Hey everyone. So I want to start a thread about online racing. I have been racing online a lot the past 3 weeks or so. And I am having a great time but there is one glitch I can not get my head around. There are some folks that have figured some kind of work around. I have the same car as them. As an example the 98 Integra and the 2020 Civic Type R. I am getting killed on the straights. I run no arrow. Raise the car to lower PP. Leave the fully adjustable suspension alone to keep the PP lower. Run the stock diff raise the car to max height which lowers pp. I do everything I can to get as much power as possible and a few people go by me in the same car like I am 100hp less than them. And the worst thing about it when I watch there cars in spectate mode and not only are they so much faster but they have fully aero kits on. They have figured out how to lower there PP so much that I can see and hear full exhaust and its crazy. I mean congrats to them for finding a work around. I understand that playing with the transmission can really have a impact on PP. I have watched the videos on raising 6th gear. But I cant find a way that I have a transmission that works and has a unusable 6th gear. So if you have been online and you know what is going on and figured a way to lower your PP and get a lot more HP than everyone else in the room please share your secrets lol. Right now there are not a lot of people online but that will change as you can customize rooms better. So lets use this thread to share any online secrets you might of found. Thank you..

I have been using the stock body. I did some testing and when I remove any weight it lowers the pp so much that its slower down the straight. I did all stages of weight then added ballast so the car was at factory weight and every time there was less power than before at that same weight.

Moderator could you please delete the same thread I have going in the general section. Thank you.

Thank you for the video. I talked to someone and at 550PP in rooms where it is set to RACE tires or Any tire guys are running SS tires to get the super low PP and add a bunch of power. I thought race tires in rooms with it would be a no brainer. But seeing how running SS tires can lower your PP by 40 points or more they are faster running this way. Racing tires at 500 to 600PP increase your PP so much that on tracks like Deep Forest and Trial Mountain you just get smoked because they have so much more power. In GT6 you had to run race tires in a room or Sport tires in a room but could not run sport tires in a room designated race tires. Makes since. IF online racing would show you what tire they are using it might of been clear sooner. At least thats what I was told. I will try and see.. I hope they patch this and either make it way less of a difference in PP between tires or make the rooms so you can pick race or sport tires. Choose whatever compound in those tires but at the PP most are using looks like SS tires is the way to go as long as the PP is under 600.. Did not take long for guys to figure this out....
