Hi guys :) while looking for an on line game last night i tried a ranked quick match, i ended up with a race comprising of level 4.00 cars at Laguna Seca and thought why not? so i choose a focus and waited for the race to start.

At the race start two others had joined, in the meantime i noticed the host was female, a first for me, she was driving an Escort Cosworth.

The start, i was in pole she was third, i got a perfect launch and was ready for a win :sly: just after the kink into turn one this PINK Escort came flying past me? i was thinking how in hell can she do that? i tried for all i was worth to catch her, at the end of lap one on the last bend she was already around the kink? the other two were not even on the map behind me so i can not have been that slow, at the end i was 17 seconds behind her the others DNF.

Race two i was in third with her being in second, i again had a good launch but watched her disappear in to the distance, i finished 20 seconds behind in second :scared:

Race three, she changed to level 6.00, i have a Cosworth tuned for this so thought now i got you :sly: the race was at Spa for four laps, i noted she was in a PINK Nissan 240.

The start, i was in second she was about three cars behind (six in race) i again had a good launch but was gob smacked because before we got to the long straight she came flying past again? i watched her disappear again :grumpy: i finished 18 seconds behind in second place.

Race four was the same except i could not finish before the count down timer :scared:

So has anybody else encountered this female racer, and how in hell can she launch her cars like this?
 
In that case maybe she just has her cars really well tuned (no wait tunes dont translate online).

Im out of ideas.

The first races were level 4.00, there is not a lot you can add to these cars at that level? i am at a loss to how she can launch so quick and get ahead by so far :dunce:
 
Maybe a lag spike or something and it just looks like she's flying off the line? Seems odd that it would happen twice though....
 
In the few online races I've had so far, I noticed that I was consistently faster off the line against a couple of other racers: maybe my G25 using clutch/manual gave me an advantage?
 
well, in Pro Street the escort was pretty good as long as there was no severe corners. good acceleration and such. 240SX wasn't bad either..and, in the end Shift is Pro Street 2.5.. :sly:

She done it in four races mate :scared:
She knows her cars it seems. Ferrari 512BB. O snap.
Good point :)

Maybe she is using the same set up?
If you have traction control on, your launch off the line is insanely slow.

I don't use traction control but the way she left us at the line was comparable to an F1 car vs a super car :crazy:

She left me standing in the bendy stuff as well, i think i will send her a friend request and ask her?
 
no, just ask her if she'd want to show her own curves. :lol: well, seriously speaking, you can ask, but I have a feeling that she might not want to answer.. after all, she ( if it really is a girl and not a guy with dirty mind) has too much fun while spanking guys in their game.

LOL my wife may catch me :sly: well i can try and ask, and she was female i talked to her a few times on the Mic, congratulated her and complemented her on her driving :)
 
I added her as well, waiting for my friend request to be accepted. In my request I mentioned this thread, maybe she'll join in. She is a member here (archived gtplanet thread - not readable).

Google her nick, seems she's into F1 fantasy pools.
 
Ouch. Steveo, excellent props to your wife and I'm sure if she's that good (and I've seen some fast women) she wouldn't want her ego inflated with egregarios posts.

Yeah i forgot :D i thought it would be Jack who pointed this out first, he raced against her.

Collette loves GT5P and now shift, we were racing each other last night and she still wont tell me how she launches so quickly? i know she uses the tunes in this forum but says i will use her technique against her if she tells me :(

Shes not good just lucky :D lucky she doesn't browse here :scared:

Maybe he didn't want to tell us "My wife beats me at NFS Shift" and just said "A woman beats me at NFS Shift".

Damned busted :guilty:
 
:lol: oh burn. I feel your pain lol. However, I guess she actually watched the tutorials regarding the launching of the cars..

Because clicking the link in Google didn't bring me anywhere productive and since I'm fairly new here didn't want to spend the time figuring out how to access archived messages. Thanks to DGiant2000 for providing a proper link.

FYI, just google the nick and you'll see the F1 fantasy stuff... seems from '06 and '07.

Cheers mate, apparently she is in a competition with other Ferrarichat members as part of the Ferrarichat fantasy F1 team.

I think they do translate into online. But you have to use your own car and not a loaned one in online.
