Last round ...... every good thing has an end .
3 wonderful years ........
Sorry for the expensive cars this last round but i think the circumstances deserve something like that.
Also the tracks are from the very well known around the world.
At no tune you might loose with huge margin and doing it again and win .
Its a huge race ,but it's last round also.
Respect the cichane please , i did this race more than 10 times with different fields and i know very well what laps this little thing can write solo or under slipstreaming .
At invitational just make sure you're at 600pp and fire at will since 2j doesn't want TC ,get the flow and feel " horny" flirting with the walls .
I think both challenges are appropriate for a Last round , so enjoy them .
Win or lose doesn't matter , we are all winners on this cause we have Great memories all these Years .

What do you mean? Last ever?

Unfortunately its the very last round Father "Tinkerbell" .
Hopefully the school will continue under the care of Noel and Barnabas .
Bryce " boss" give everything he got to this hub and deserve a break after almost 3 years here .
Perhaps after the show up of GT 7 in the future ,we will have the opportunity to meet eachother again somehow.
@bjl23 already have a ps5 and he preorder the GT7 so he will have it from day one ..
The good part is that gt7 play's and at ps4 wich is easy to get 2nd hand and in good condition and the more availability of ps5 ....the cheaper you can buy the ps4 .
Its not hard to find one even now at 150-180 euro .
Time will tell but first thing first ...... We have to be OK in health and whatever will follow .

Come on Saint ,you can do way better than that .

 

[nostradavor2]

Bryce did amazing job and deserves a lot of credits!!! I hope we stay in touch. I should have my setup back in month or so and I hoped the hub will still be a thing but can't say I'm surprised its the end
Well if anyone comes to dark side and hacks PS3, let me know, we can do some online racing hopefully. Which makes me wonder what is @slybynight doing these days. Also hope Paddy shows someday again.
Regarding The School I have biggest respect for it, but I can't force myself to record screen with a phone anymore. I'm looking for capture card atm so that's the only way I'll be present here in school. Unfortunately buying Capture Card is not high on my priority list atm
For sure I enjoyed time here with all of you.

NO TUNE - ROUND 100

 

[bjl23]

What do you mean? Last ever?

I decided to end the hub about 10 rounds ago, making round 100 the last challenge. After 3 years I need a break and with GT7 around the corner I thought it be a good time to have a rest before I start the challenge hub on GT7.

Before this round ends I'll be setting up the "skeagracing" thread, once I've set it up I'll hand it over to @skeagracing so he and @Racin510s can continue the school.

@smoothbore12 I really appreciate the gifs.

Good .....old days

 

[Thematic]

Come on Saint ,you can do way better than that .

Ways... I considered each round, with broken controls, whether I should skip. There's always some improvement possible, but it's not going to impress anyone.

 

[smoothbore12]

Again at Hydra today and having a relaxing day since the work wasn't any hard at all .
See,sun but Mary on the other side .

As about our challenges now this is one of the many races i did preparing the event and play it two days in a row .
It was when i wrote @Aramislegacy about my thumb that i couldn't play any more after so many laps at Spa on full throttle .

 

[nostradavor2]

I found this bad boy to do some laps since it's the end of an era.. I also founs some s$it capture card on amazon for 15$ so I might be back here to hang out for people who will stay to do the school. One thing about school tho what I always wanted to say is that we get p1 p2 p3 at the end of the round but if this thread will be school only I think we should at least get like sentence or two feedback on our driving (just a thought). Btw why does Dino has to be in line up? Stratos beats Dino I think.

 

[smoothbore12]

For all those times,........... when we was waiting @RMan72 to post his results

 

[nostradavor2]

I did the school too but have to record it...

At least Alfa Romeo's for goodbye

btw I never really did a lot of laps on SPA (don't know why) but loved watching bunch of videos like this one.. and also with classic Carrera Turbo Porsche's

 

[RMan72]

Amazing what an oil change can do for

Nice to see you back on last round ,You. Sexy Mother ....Father !!!!
Mine best fair lap under slepstreaming in some places is 2.34.6
So you and him must be 2.32 - 2.33 plus .
Still i don't know what the benefits cuting the chicane .
Usually is huge ( for low power cars ) if you have enough speed .
I remember a challenge with a BMW ,@Thematic wins for fractions over me but i never use it to pass him .
Its a track that you can run " wide" anyway but cutting the chicane is like stealing a church .

 

[smoothbore12]

For all those who laugh on others slower performance

 

[RMan72]

ps2 @RMan72 What's your best lap time with 100% fair lap?

My best lap was a 2:32.5xx got a bump boost on the way down to Au Rouge, a good draft down Kemmel and another one through Blanchimont.

Cutting the chicane will take at least 1.5s off your time. I could gain a little by straight lining Au Rouge, as there is a fair bit of tyre scrub, but that isn't racing.

Going to try and find the Dino later, 20 resets last night and he was still hiding

I don't even know why does Dino has to be in line up because if you tune Alfa little bit, you beat it with 20-30 sec.. don't remember exactly. Also Stratos beats it.

I agree regarding cutting the chicane on SPA , it's not fair, I was stuck in the sand little bit so did it on a last lap so you need to run it one more time lol

Also I recorded the school but it looks horrible, Monte Carlo looks just faded so much, guess I'll have to tweak colors on TV little bit.

 

[smoothbore12]

My no tune vid ( not all of course ) end of 3rd lap till the end .


I was trying to catch the Renault to get slipstreaming but i couldn't .

I need to run it one more time, surely you should without cutting the chicane , but just cos you asked I ran it again, found some speed in the corner with no name and left more time out there just in case
