Got bumped up to Group B and got a win yesterday at the RBRing. Had to use the meta, but I'll take it regardless.

Also bought the Coutach since it finally showed back up in the UCD. Haven't even driven it yet but the first thing I did before shutting down was put its proper win on it.
 
Did a 20 lap custom race loosely based off the 1998 Suzuka FIA GT Championship race:
FIAGTSuzuka_2.jpg


the grid consisted of:

GT1=
2x CLK-LM
2x F1 GTR
1x F40 LM
1x 911 GT1 Evo

GT2 =

1x Diablo SVR
1x NSX Turbo LM
2x GTS/R
1x C4 GT1
1x 993 GT2
1x 993 GT2 Evo
1x 300ZX Z32 Imsa
1x Touring Car R32


GT500:
JGTC Supra
R33 With R33 LM Calsonic paintjob

GT300:
Daishin S15
Re Amemiya RX7
Rain-X Countach

I ran a CLK-LM with a persson motorsport paintjob since we do not have a CLK-GTR, even with a Turbo upgrade the race was still very close with the Fina F1 GTR giving me a decent run for my money, I will post a replay and the race footage once I get time but i'm having a blast running themed races as of recently. I plan on redoing this race + other ones once I get a few more the Legend cars.
 
The OG
was playing the tokyo race like i usually do for an hour or two... still trying to get all the cars from the invitation and use the leftover money to buy used cars... i got the counterach and the 3 million aston martin... only car im missing is the enzo... but that wasnt the highlight of the night... during my third time playing this race the always second place guy who is gallo decides to switch lanes right when i try to overpass him as im lapping him... of course i hit him then hit the wall and get a penalty... i am pissed...so i was like ok you want to play it that way...i made sure everytime i lap the group i hit him as hard as i could... i didnt even care about lap times anymore because my laps are slower than usual every time i lap the group...i get to the finish line around lap 10 and brake right in front of gallo so he couldnt move...made sure all the cars went around me.... i already lapped the group 2 times so it didnt matter... he ended up 12th at the end of the race lol...on my last race on lap 11 i was lapping everyone again and on the last corner was gallo.... i made sure to speed up to that last corner instead of braking and ram him right in to the corner wall...when he crashed into the corner i parked my car right front of his... made sure all the ai cars passed us... he ended up 12th or 13th his name wasnt even on the screen when i won the race lmao

Haha, I know the feeling. I did the same with Kokubun the other day. He always places second, not this time. He was swerving again in the twisty bits in the final lap. Touch and bounce into the wall as usual. Enough!

I slowed down, blocked his path, stopped all the way with him behind me. The AI then backs up a bit and tries to drive around the obstacle, me. No you don't, I kept my car in front of him or when he boosted and managed to get a nose alongside simply pushed him into the wall. Stopped in front of him again, repeat until the whole field had passed. You be last today Kokubun.

To finish it off I let him pass, then pushed him into the back wall. I just stuck my car behind him, boosted until it was time for me to brake. Far too late for Koku who went flying into the wall. I served my penalty, finished far before him and of course another 4 laps on the entire field.

I don't think the AI is programmed to get in your way, they're just completely oblivious of you nearly all of the time and their lines are crap. They swerve and drive in the middle in the same places every race. Which makes it nearly impossible to pass them at some spots. I got the patterns down, weaving left right to pass on the inside, outside wherever the room is (always the same), but with all the blind corners, high speed, the AI driving in the most inconvenient places and the smallest touch sending you into the wall, a penalty free run is hard to come by.

Gallo, Kokubun, Suswillo, can't stand those names anymore :lol:

I can't have the name on there. Alcohol I am fine with, but cigs I am not. OCD thing I guess.

I'm the same way. Cigarettes killed my mom. I should hate alcohol as much because it wrecked several of my family in some pretty sad, similar ways, drugs too. But alcohol is such an ingrained part of our planet's cultures that it's inescapable. And I drink an occasional cooler. I still have a Mission Winnow sponsored car or two, and West, because they're so darn cool. I'm such a hypocrite, typical human. :P

Anyhow, I spent hours yesterday trying to find a car that I could win the God cursed Tokyo WTC600 race. The PP gremlins hate me sometimes, and I had car after car jump in rating by sometimes dozens of points past 600 with one click. I had high hopes for the Red Bull Jr, but I couldn't get much past 570PP or it jumped to something like 630. GRR. If that wasn't enough, my car in Time Trial mode is distinctly slower in the race. The RB Jr should breeze through the laps, but no. Sports softs, sports hards, I can't seem to find the magic that makes the car competitive. Every car, every race, the field pulls away from me, I catch up to the floundering pack, trying to just ease past a few cars and most cases get pushed into a wall, and in those few cases I manage to get through those first two turns, I get punted into one in the next few. Carping frag grenades! :mad:

Back to Tomahawk chop. Managed to make 15 million, and bought
  • 2x Celica GT-Four '94 - had one previously, or two
  • 3x Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary - because race car!
  • Ferrari 330 P4 '67
And now I see that my poor Tomahawk has "normal" wear all around, poor baby. Must've rammed too many cars in my hasty race to finish as fast as possible. And as much of a glutton for self-abuse as I am, I'll probably try to legitimately win Tokyo one more carping time, or two... or... :boggled:

Mine too. I'm another who can't add cigarette advertising to a livery.

That is the reason I never bother with livery, my cars when I did them stayed the colour I bought them in no livery at all.
I won't advertise cigarettes or alcohol at all. I can't remember back when we started livery in which GT maybe all I can't recall but I do remember there being loads of tobacco and Alcohol livery hence I never even looked the livery section since.
 
I think it’s amazing that we via this upload decals method can get classic liveries (and new fantasy versions) of the past that in many other circumstances keep getting censored.

First time playing in a few days. Tried the glitch at Tokyo Expressway. Managed to finish the race in 20min, I could do much better now that I am used to the SRT on that race, but that's not really interesting/fun.

Bought a Nissan Silvia spec-R Aero (S15) Touring Car for fun, found a Takata livery and tried it in time trial at Nürburgring... butchered my lap and found it rather slow. Have to put RS next time.

Got a 1 star ticket and received 2k Cr. so much rewards for my return ! :P

Discovered DRS on the Tomahawk and got the 374 mph trophy. Started using the build with Intermediate tyres which is amazing. Ran a few WTC races. Bought both Pagani and still have just over 10 million credits. Ran Sardegna using gr3 cars as the F1 GTR is too easy. Anyone still grinding the Tokyo tomahawk use @Papiculo64 intermediate tyre build, it requires a pit stop but so much better times, even with the assists off. Still loving it. The complaints are getting sadder by the day. “ too much weather” That’s a good point, otherwise it’s just same **** different day, prayed to jeebus not to patch the Tomahawk yet. Over 500 miles again.

Restarted again later and no errors now. Heard some had to reinstall, hope I won`t have to.

Easy Le Mans-win in the Countach, wery fast car but thirsty. Gonna buy another now and keep it ca stock

The little legendary Alpine is amazing for Le Mans. Favourite is the Gr4 Alfa. It’s so much fun to drive And goes up to 190 mph on the straights.
 
Gold B-10, S-3 and S-4.

Did 40 minutes of Deep Forest before realizing I wasn't going to beat it in the '15 Mustang GT.

Did 3 online races at Monza, ended with 3 podiums and a rank up to B.

Farmed 6mil and bought the 330 P4. Detuned it for the 1hr Deep Forest race and was afraid I had stomped on it so much it was gonna be a pig but after 4 laps I was way farther ahead than I was with the Mustang and even at FM 1 it has about 31 laps of fuel so I think this will do fine. Didnt have time to do the 1hr race, just wanted to see if it was gonna be strong enough and I think it will.
 
I spent nearly all day trying to find a car that could legitimately beat the Tokyo WTC600 wet. You need about a 2:12 pace. All I can manage in most of my cars was roughly 2:20. On Tokyo dry. Except for the Red Bull Jr which even though the PP breaks and jumps a lot at 214hp, I can still manage to get it around 2:14ish on average in the wet. But not in the race. Nearly every lap is around 2:17 - 18, the good ones. There are almost no good ones because just touching a car or a wall can spin it out, get a penalty and the race is hosed. Not to mention the bots tend to just walk all over it. GAH! :mad:

So I used my second best ride, the RE Amemiya RX-7, hoping to make something work. It at least can have 400-plus hp with a light body, decent tires, and a good set of adjustable parts. Hours of do overs later, around midnight, I managed to run a clean no penalty race, and made... 4th, after briefly holding pole for a lap. GAH some more. :indiff: It could be a great race, if the damned bots weren't so bash happy or hard even on easy. In fact, difficulty makes little difference. PD seems to delight in making challenges only the best can ever touch. If they nerf the Tomahawk, that race can burn in Hell for all I care.

Another gripe, which I need to post in the Annoy thread: I hate having cars that perform worse in races than in time trials. See the RB Jr example above. Traffic and drafting aside, they should be similar. I hate PP jumps with just one click of any parameter. I hate racing in the rain, and I really hate racing in the rain with non-race tires. Before I get the usual "wuss" remarks, I'll reiterate that I was in a car wreck in rainy weather a few years ago, so driving in rain even in video games is just a scouche disturbing. Did I mention I hate insta-rain? Oh well, /rant.

So I took my winnings and bought the Ferrari 330 P4. And I see a few more cars I want, but I need a nap.

A 4WD Lamborghini is good for that race. Muck about with the restrictor and ecu to get it down to 600. Can’t remember if I needed ballast too.
 
I tried the Lambos, both the Huracan and Murcielago, and I can't get a lap time below 2:19 on Tokyo dry. If I use race tires, I can barely keep up. If I use sports tires, I get a lot of penalties either because I'm a whisker too aggressive in a turn, or a bot car touches me and spins me out, and the race is shot. I tried several of the recommended cars in the "proper" Tokyo thread, and I'm just not good enough. Most people aren't, sadly. We lack the alien DNA.

Bought the Countach added its wing and did my daily miles with it. Spent some time looking through the garage for something else that would strike my interest. Ended up in the tomahawk for the tokyo race to top of my wallet. Then went to my garage and worked on my real project, lol. Certainly some nice cars in the game but I am struggling to find 'The' car for me and feeling a bit down that a version of my car isnt in the game(it really should be).
 
Got two wins on Daily C with the GTR. This took more than a couple attempts but once I got more used to the car, was able to pull it off... twice!

More info in the daily race thread if anyone cares or is curious to as of why that Subaru is driving backwards and why it was a good thing. :lol:

Is it just me or do people from certain countries race really dirty, particularly those with a red dot on their flag..... Don't know about Sport because I haven't played yet but the Japanese make the best street car lobbies and since everyone in EU is a fast n furious Gr.3 cool kid I have no...
