Hopefully I'll make it out next week

Yes.

I am the one doing auto acrobatics at the back as it is more fun than actual racing.

Last night's special was telling everyone to change tires and not change them myself...

Oh, and don't mess with your steering wheel settings just before a race! LOL

Sorry I didnt make it out last night guys. Got home too late. I haven't played for a few weeks, so at least I will have an excuse next week.

That part was comical. I told my wife about that as she was going up to bed, and even she laughed about it.

Friggin New Guy domination again. Matt what is your secret

Only hope is you cut the Top Gear course and get penalized 5 seconds

Had a great time last night guys! I got penalized twice on the TG track when some unknown m3post member rear ended me into Hammerhead and pushed me through the boundaries... lol.

It's actually a good tactic I suppose!

You guys are brutal when trying to pass... starting from 4th or 5th is hard to do but so much fun!

03BeastCharmer · 03-29-2011, 01:54 PM

Those tactics work until Damage is turned to heavy, and your car turns to the left all the time. D'oh Glad that was only set that way for 1 race.

You can see that I haven given up practicing and have now resorted to winning by regulating!

It was funny at Laguna Seca with the tires...I set off with everyone else kept up after the start and then everyone turned left except me...I just kept going straight on until the grass, and then I turned... around and around...

that might have been me.. my bad! i haven't raced on the tg test track much, so i never remember where i am going. I went into hammerhead way too fast the first lap, and missed a couple other turns too.

who is playing with the controller, and who has a wheel? does the wheel make a big difference?

endofanera7 · 03-30-2011, 12:46 AM

add me guys, endofanera7

You can add yourself by friending me on PSN: Big_Brewsky

When I first started this up, I punched in about 7 names and only one turned up...

I'm using a controller. If Matt keeps running off with the victories, I might have to step up to a wheel.

On the Monaco race I was trying to block Matt, but he still made it past and then ran off into the distance

Maybe Matt should have to use Race Hards instead of Mediums.

I'm down! I don't really care about the race result... I just like racing in the pack with you guys... much more fun than cranking out laps all by yourself. Plus its fun to see random cars go flying off all around me!!!

Charity.

I'll take it.

I need to stop slowing down to admire and reflect on perfectly executed corners during races...and cool down laps. I have done too many HPDEs and not enough racing!

Oh, and you are banned...or even worse, have drive on hard street tires for the next 2 weeks!

03BeastCharmer · 03-31-2011, 08:55 AM

So is the book wide open on the tuned cars for next week, or is there a performance limit? Is any M3 allowed or just E92's. I say Matt drives a 2002 Turbo

E92's

The win on Monday gave me enought cash to by the M3 ZJetP - 2000HP, 1500 torques

What did you guys think about the damage level and penalties? I got pissed off at just missing a turn on the TG track and slowing down for 5 seconds.

I am up to date with the received PSN requests, even with the one that was sent and rescinded! LOL! That usually isn't until the second date

Penalties should be max as this prevents other people from running into you. They will run through you. It sucks when you miss corners but it should.

Damage should be light so that the damaged car can quickly recover.

All driver aids should be off. Even tc. IMHO.

In any case it is fun.
