I dunno. I just like that it is called “PP” and you have to measure it in setup.

Don't forget to hit Triangle every time you want to re-calculate it!

:eyeroll:

Can you imagine a console as beefy as a PS5 and it needs you to manually recalculate such an important number?

What is your fuel/tire strategy for the spa 1hr race? I tried 2 stops and 1 stop with the 3000GT BRZ but I can’t get better than 2nd so far. I feel like I end up with the wrong tire in the 2nd half regardless.

Um… I wanna say I did 2~3 stops? Put the gas in lean (6) & just kept on going w RH tires. The last stop I’ve changed the tires to IM, which kinda regret 5 mins, but last 5 mins I was able to hold on the lead & able to finish it first. Biggest thing that help was setup the LSD. It’s more towards understeer than oversteer, i didn’t spin out… except shithead Aston Martin ram my ass.

If I know it'll rain at some point after the race, I'll usually go with fuel trim 3 or 4 in general.

Same is applied to the 1 hour Spa race. Depending on how bad the rain is, I'll either pit in for fuel once it gets low and don't change tires (I tend to run RH tires for endurance races), and fill up 100%. I may dial back the fuel trim depending on grip with the RH tires. I'll try to hold off until the fuel runs low to pit for either fresh RH tires, or switch to IM or Wets, depending on the rain. If it's bad enough to make me put on IM or W tires, I'll dial the fuel back to 6. Can't remember if there is enough fuel to last the remainder of the race. This is for the R34.

So… I was trying to clear some of the races. There’s Tokyo Expressway (East Clockwise iirc) 12 laps. Best I can do is 2nd place. What car do you guys take? Literally I’ve spend like 4mil cr buying different types of cars & mods to fit within PP600 & win, but still no luck.

I’ve even copy & bought 1st place car… problem is that car is NSX w SS tires. If I mod it & add SS tires, it won’t let me race cuz PP become weird. So put SS tires on stock NSX, it’s over PP600. Like HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?!?

Here’s a pic of odd PP sign

I got tired of getting 2nd place, so I decided to cheat and use a nerfed 787B. No top speed at all, but never have to pit and catches up time in the corners. Also on sport hard tires.

Yeah, I refuse to use that and the Redbull Jr. cars. LOL. Beyond cheating at that point.

Has anyone ever successfully used the quit game trick to get a better prize from workout ticket? I tried 6-7 times with a 3 star and 3 times with a 2 star ticket and never got anything but worst prize. My guess is the prize you get from the ticket is pre-ordained upon receipt of the ticket. Which would make sense to combat this very thing.

Next time I get a good prize I’m gonna try the trick and see if it keeps giving me good prize (since it really won’t matter anyway unless it’s a high star ticket.) The trouble will be getting anything besides worst prize, ever, with any ticket.

I haven’t gotten anything but the worst price since launch week. They rigged it in one of the early updates. It’s so lame.
