On another note, sorry Norbert/Karl/DrCooper for running you all off the first corner of Mount Panorama a minute ago - first time I’ve driven that N400 SLS and didn’t realise it had no brakes! Gave up in the end, not driving that again
Most of the cars feel like they have no brakes!!

Yeah but that one really took me by surprise, got to the first corner, wasn’t even going that fast and went straight on, taking everyone out in the process driving

You ghosted straight through me so no worries. Loved that combo, serious handful.

I’ve just read that livery search results only show the last 16 hours of uploads. Hmmm so how would you find an older one?!
thats a bit... rubbish, not much point in having a search function !? hope they change it!
Maybe if we all upload our liverys we've done during the week on a sunday or something ? then people can check on each sunday they should get most of them ?

Has anyone noticed within Arcade Mode that when adjusting the amount of laps in Quick Race that when you start the game, it defaults back to 2 laps? Is there something wrong with the game or just me?

Had a go at the new daily races last night, glad they've upped the laps and track lengths, had some good races now that i'm in the dr C sr B category.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but i've had a few races where the person i'm chasing down suddenly decides to slam on the brakes while i'm in their slip stream.

They bounce forward and continue on their merry way postion held, where as I loose a load of momentum and SR points... I hope this doesn't become a 'thing'.

Certainly wasn't early braking for the next corner, this was middle of the straight sort of stuff.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

they really need to fix the penalty system... just was doing a clean overtake down the pit straight... then bloke decides to ram me into the pit wall... 10 sec penalty for me clearly...

also got minus SR points for very lightly tapping due to car performance differences... (faster accelerating) bah... *rage quit*

Depending on how smart the developers have been passing down the pit straight where you are crossing a solid white line is beyond the track limits so you would be penalised for a completed overtake. Although getting rammed into the pit wall should also give the other player a penalty.

That's going to be a pain trying to share logos between us.

On a side, once we get SVG uploads anyone got a 'must do first' paint? Mine involves a cartoon dog & a jersey milk product wink

I've had been people come flying down the inside at the hair pins, no brakes and punting me off. I get a 10 second penalty and lose SR!

It’s ridiculous.

I try to get a middle ground, stay just behind those infront until they make a mistake, whilst being far enough ahead that those behind can’t reach you, they soon drop to the back when they drive in that manor. The first race i did had someone on a 35 second penalty at the end of the race, about 5 had penaltys over 10 seconds.

Also check your mirrors and turn in late if you see someone trying that kind of antic.

Much better in the new races with only 12 instead of 24. Couldn’t stand that civic, dreadful.

You either want to be on pole, scamper around the first corner and sod off up the road, or at the back. In the middle is chaos.

How the hell am I losing a second a lap in the banked hairpin on Lake Maggiore? People are taking it just about flat in third. I'm in second at about 70. Wtf.

WTF?!

I'm struggling to break 1:50. Didn't want to muck about with car setup but I'm getting trounced. Hold my own in the Group 3 race, nowhere near the win in the group 4s.

If you make it a Friday or Saturday I can join in, any other day and the time zone difference screws me.

I've done a 1:50.05 in group 4 (BOP on + hard tyres), optimal said 1:49.3 I think it was. That car handles very well and has excellent traction, my group 4 is the TT and it just wheelspins out of corners. Not sure if the guy in that video has BOP on or not, but he's on hard tyres.

I've got the 458 and Jag F type group 4 cars, but they can't get close to the TT under BOP because they are about 200kg heavier. I've got a WRX too, which may be worth a go as its +14hp and +200kg, maybe the 4wd traction wil offset that though.

Weird thing is I was doing 1:50s in qualifying, when it came to the race I couldn't get anywhere close, I think my best was a 1:51.4, won it though!

I think some tweaking will have to be done to the TT if I climb the SR/DR ranks...
