I think I was downshifting a little to early now lol

I did a test last night, and you cant drop down through all the gears like pcars1 so thats a plus! So the engine breakers cant use their jake breaks anymore . I was watching all my shifts and none of them were in the red, so i sure do like how they have it set, perfect for me 👍.

Looking forward to tomorrow night!

Im super excited for tonight, hoping everything goes off without a hitch

There is a slight chance I might not be there. I have been puking all day to the point to where the dry heaves are absolutely about to kill me. Taken enough phenergan(spelling?) that I feel like a zombie. Im fighting sleep because I'm afraid I may not wake up until after the race starts. If I fall asleep I know my wife won't wake me up for it...she's already said that I need to skip tonight that it's just a race. Evidently she doesn't understand racing. If I have to get my wife to duck tape my eyes open and put a trash can beside me I'll do everything I can to be there.

Do you think it might be carbon monoxide poisoning? Your Mini was sideways for so much of the racing last night that maybe the exhaust fumes backed up inside the car Seriously, hope you're feeling better.

Mark, last night went pretty much glitch free so I hope it goes well for you guys tonight. Bear was the only one with issues, but I think someone from his pit crew crawled in his car when he wasn't looking and shut everything off!

Sorry bout not keeping it tucked in closer on that corner phile. I think my reaction times are getting slowed by the painkillers I'm taking for my pinched nerve.
Anyhow you don't have to worry next tues. I think I'm going to drop out for now... I'm just not competitive in anything but the old stuff. Getting lapped in a 30 minute race in the same class of car is not good.
Anyhow, good luck in the future, keep your tires on the pavement.

Please stick around bear, you just need to practice man! You come in each week kinda not sure what we are doing and thats why you are off pace. We didn’t call you the great wall of bear for nothing! So be a try hard for the last week of the series and i bet you will see a nice difference. Sorry i got after ya on the mic, your a good dude, surry.

Im the one that’s going to take a break, i need to go away for a bit and enjoy the holidays i think. I take this stuff to seriously and i cant help it, im just a competitive person , its in my DNA. One of the main reasons I created “one make madness” way back when was to get away from all the drama of endurance/point series racing. I enjoyed the multiple one make 5 lapper races to just sit back and have some laughs and not care so much.

Im a Debbie Downer right now, maybe after the holidays i will have a change of heart? There are other leaders in this group that can run SRM, your in good hands 👍

Lol...im in 4 leagues right now...I don't have time to practice. Mon night, no serious tuning done in the b group. So I have 3 to 5 guys that I'm neck and neck with.. and there's not much notice, so everyone's on equal footing.
Wed night is default setting, so again equal footing. I may drop out of Sunday pits league too.
The tuning in this game is kinda over my head in the newer cars. When people start to kick your ass by 5 seconds or more...you start looking for racers more your caliber.
I don't know, perhaps the painkillers are handicapping me more than I realize.. but it's a long slow process for healing at my age....doc gave me 3 months prescription. Perhaps there will be a league" drunk driving" I would fit right in...

There's only 1 more race this year, stick it out and then you have got 2 weeks of fun!
Except mexxi goes and makes it long as .

 

[bloodyboyblue]

I feel the same as both of you, one make racing is more fun, and it’s not fun being way off and in the way of everyone else. Last night was the worst handling car I’ve ever driven in this game, and it was the same setup I used last week which at least was driveable if not that fast. Don’t know if that’s the update or not but it felt like when I first started pcars1 last night, completely out of control and my inputs had no bearing on what the car was actually doing, and that’s not fun. I still hate tuning, and I still hate GT3/GTE type cars, so I don’t know why I bother signing up for series that use them.

And the fact I keep disconnecting is annoying, since there’s nothing I can do at this point to make my connection better, it’s as good as it’s going to get.

It seems the fuller rooms have this problem, the guys who join first don't have disconnect issues. Once it gets more than 10 or 12 then the latest joining keep getting disco'd.
And yes, gte, gt3. I do not like either. If gt legends ever came out for PS4 I'd be there in a heartbeat. That game is incredible! The cars, the tracks. Graphics are not as good, but I don't give a crap about that. It was the way the cars handled like the real thing, and the engine sounds were bang on.
The 69 camaro is close to handling like the real one, but the engine sound is lacking. It should be way louder and rev to 8500.

I'm right there with you Yogi, I feel your pain and you're usually ahead of me. Last night seemed especially bad. 1st race pretty sure a driver reset to track right in front of me and it was down hill from there. 2nd race just had terminal snap oversteer that I didn't experience in practice. A lot of it is because the tire models were changed for new patch. You've gotta stick it out for the last race so I have someone to race with. I'm with you though on Sunday PITS, think I'm done as well, to much attitude. We need a league for old slow guys like us so racing can be fun again.

1/2 is a Knockout Night. Be there or get 🤬.

 

[HOBBZ]

I had a great time in last night's races. I practiced my ass off at Buggati and am happy with the result... although I did go around once. I didn't really practice the second track and the results reflected it. But I agree on a couple points made already, bear. #1 I think you should at least finish off this series, for lots of reasons, one being I need someone to race with! #2 As phile mentioned and I've experienced, practice really really helps. Sounds like maybe you're stretched a little thin with other series, maybe quit one of those instead and sink a bit more seat time in this one!

 

[The__Camel]

Someone mentioned their car handling different the 1st race....well mine handled differently as well. Completely different from a practice earlier in the night and completely different from the Qualifying before the race. Of course either had to adjust to it as the race went on but yes I can agree that the handling changed on the first race.

 

[coltsjugg]

I feel fine so far, making the weather hardcore wont help us, figure out the differences but sheeit that was fun

As gutter once put it (with a picture of Clint Eastwood accompanied) "A mans got to know his limitations"
I've driven the vette before, after an hour practicing in camels room ...thought I was putting down some good lap times, only to find i was way off pace. Which resulted in me driving past the limits of the car. For me ...gt3 and gte I get no sense of the car about to break loose, until it's too late.
I joined you guys initially because you were running older stuff at the time. I just cannot get a feel for this new stuff. ....Hobbs, you are way faster than me anyway. If I try to stay with you I'll just crash. And otherwise I'll just be putting in laps, and trying to stay out of the way. No fun for me and not fair on you guys.
What I really need is to find a lobby that runs the old cars.
You've been a great bunch, I've enjoyed the banter. Perhaps I'll see some of you in lobbanaeros lounge
They run an A side for guys like camel and sgeti. And a B side for old wankers like me.

WE GOT OURSELVES A BATTLE BOYS!! Here are the results from last night. Great job @mexxifrieboy for not only taking both wins on the night, but for also inadvertently creating the last series anyone wants to race! He and @The__Camel are tied going into the final race! That's right, next week there is only 1 race, and its an Hour and 20 minutes long @ Daytona Road Course! (I think I just heard a few more jump ship....)

I had a good time, the Ferrari is a dream to drive, even if I did mess up my pitstop. Oh, heads up; if you change your pit strategy in the ICM, it will overwrite it. So next race if you use the same strategy make sure you reset it to what its supposed to do. Lesson learned.

Well we had a good run .

If the top 5 somehow don't make the race... who wins between Camel and Mexi?

 

[HOBBZ]

Speaking of if people don't show up, I have a friend who would gladly race at Daytona. He's been practicing with me so he knows the drills.

Keep talking and you're going to miss it too. Besides, the rules say I win.
