So 3 second penalty plus my car was f*cked front and rear. JFC...

Did the car ahead of you go off? I noticed that that seems to trigger it, has happened to me a bunch of times. Anymore I don't bother to quali and I just try to see how many places I can grab. Doesn't do much for my DR but I don't care anymore.

Yeah, ended up pushing him into the wall. That's how hard I was hit. Lol

Holy shit!!! My first gold! I hope I don’t get bumped down lol.

Sweet, got my second (might be third) first place for the daily races. Qualified second at Mt. Panorama. Hell broke loose at the first corner on the first lap, so I gave the pole position guy a bump draft on the straight to try to get away from the bad drivers. I was keeping up with him for the most part, but made a mistake near the top of the mountain and he built up about a 2 second lead. I was slowly catching up with each lap, especially on the crazy downhill section. Not sure if he was feeling the pressure or not, but on the second to last lap on the last corner, he just applied too much throttle and spun into the barrier. I almost followed (one disadvantage of following a faster driver than you, if they make a mistake, you might do the same) him, but was able to gain traction back. So I went slower on the last lap to make sure I didn't mess things up. LOL

Man. The M3 sport evo '89 on historic sports car masters menu is a dream. All stock, just decreased the power to get into the allowed PP range. Amazing car.

spike021 · 08-07-2023, 08:28 PM

I can't get over how fun this car is. Easy to throw into corners at higher speeds than I would think, and then it's got the power to power through. Ugh amazing.

I think I used that car in a lot of the Euro events.

Now if only I could beat the dumb kei car menu. I have the S660 and I've tried so many customizations and still can't get better than like fourth place. I think it has to do with the gearing ratio choice.

Has anyone managed to get gold with the Viper? I'm 0.027 off, with the optimal lap well within gold territory, I just can't manage to string the sectors together. It's always that damn right hander before the first hairpin

Cappuccino with an engine swap? lol. I actually can't remember what car I used for that menu.

I don't like that track, so my best time was somewhere in the silver I think.

WolfpackS2k · 08-08-2023, 12:38 PM

How the hell are you guys getting such low times with the Viper? I struggled for an hour to get a Silver time. I loaded the ghost (of the leading time) and my line was mostly similar but where the hell is that guy getting grip from?!?

I did like 4-5 laps and didn't care for it and haven't tried again. I think I have a high bronze.

Which one is the viper one? I'll try it after work.

Blue Moon infield or what ever that track is called. It's one of the TT events in the Sport Lobby.
