Looking at the replay I definitely don't think slipstream was the key here. I slipstreamed behind mush for about 2 seconds before going up beside him. He had worse tyre grip than me and consequently his exit speed from the last corner was slower than mine.

Some pics:

Niks overshoots the first chicane after the parade lap:

I go off track on lap 5. Before that little detour I was around 4-5 seconds behind the lead. After this I was around 9 seconds behind:

Chim goes off track on the same lap:

Last lap. I've managed to overtake Chim and am closing in on mush. Brentech sees me coming up behind and decides to let me by:

I try to overtake Mush on the grass... didn't work

5 second from the finish line mush and I are side by side:

Lol. I didn't mean to just let you by like that. Intended to do it on the track, but got caught up watching your location and didn't brake in time.

 

[Toxa]

I definitely don't think slipstream was the key here.

...

I took part a lot of practice for this race and I watched the stream and it was all about splistream the entire race.


overtaking was often done only in a straight line(with endless batlle between drivers) I have rarely seen someone passing in a corner because he was actually faster
!

so I can patiently waiting behind the leader the entire race and win withe splitstream on the finish line :/ instead to get caught in a enless batlle

PD need to fix the splitstream online because it's different in a-spec.

I do not mean that you do not deserve your win and your place on the podium, you managed to pass chim and catch mush with worn tires it's all credit to you but win like that ... imo you can do it for the second place or another postion but for the win :/

once again it's only my opinion

18 laps was too short for this race (no pit stop)

 

[Angst]

I get what you're saying Toxa. But as you say yourself - people slipstream during the whole race. Why shouldn't I do it on the last lap? Makes no sense at all. And had the race been one more lap I wouldn't have needed to use the slipstream. As you can see in the replay I tried passing mush earlier but messed up. If I had passed him he would have been the one slipstreaming me for the win. It's part of the game as it is now - dealwithit.gif

And yeah, I think only MM did a pitstop to change tyres. We should have made it a 30 laps race, but it would have been a pretty long race that way.

Edit: By relay, here are Metalmurphy's votes:

MVP: Mush
STS: Niks

 

[Dibbz]

Toxa don't complain.

If I recall you actually said anything goes on the last lap and if you were leading and someone was behind you, you would block anyone trying to slipstream you.

So 2nd place is not meant to try and overtake at all on the final straight? Gimme a break.

except Nascar have you seen someone win with splistream often ?

you lead a race and managed to keep your opponent behind you throughout the race and Finaly you loose on the finish line.
In your opinion who deserves to win?

r246 the walls allows to block your opponent, but Monza or Fuji there's a lot of space it's impossible to proctect your place !

next time if you lead a race I'll wait the finish line to win the race.

there's an issue with the splistreame (online) in this game.

sorry but prefers to lead a race before the finish line and tell myself I was better that day, that's my philosophy !

 

[UFRA]

See that's the thing. Angst didn't do that at all.

He even said he was 9 seconds behind the lead at one point. By all means, that's NOT sitting behind the leader waiting to pounce on the last lap like a cheap guy.

He had to out-drive Mush the entire race and slowly shave those seconds off. Not to mention with crappy tires. In the end, he caught Mush, and used a bit of slip stream on the last straight. It's not like Angst was using Mush's slipstream every lap, and he was a crappy driver and only used slipstream to stay behind him. Quite the contrary.

I believe I can safely say most of us would have taken that win. Also, if I was Mush I would have tried one safe blocking move.

 

[Kaze13]

Request.

I joined up late in the NRL and would like to race the last race in this league as a Wild Card. Possible?

 

[Toxa]

See that's ...

I do not want to talk more, IMO there's no satifaction to win a race like that ...

I will not try to win a race on the finish line with the splistream no matter if I was close behind you during the entire race or 30 sec behind

that's it ...

 

[Mush]

Toxa, I really appreciate your support in this matter but I feel that it's pointless.

Yes, Angst did use the slipstream to overtake which I fully agree is overpowered. However, in order to get close enough to overtake me and use the slipstream, he had to out drive me, which he did. That's a fair win in my book. I don't feel like I was robbed or anything, I didn't have a sudden urge to throw my steering wheel through my TV after the race, I was simply beaten fair and square. I knew the moment that Angst pulled out that it was all over and I had to except 2nd place, which considering my previous results through out the season, was a victory in itself. It didn't even cross my mind to try and block him.

 

[Toxa]

Toxa, I really appreciate your support in this matter but I feel that it's pointless.

yeah that's why I do not want to talk more.

you did a great race, you fought for the first place with chim, I still think you deserved the win.

it's just my opinion

Are we going to do a vote on weather/time for the Ring, or is that going to be a dealwithit.gif? lol

Also, would you guys be up for a Nurburgring practice tomorrow (Monday) around the normal time of our race days?

Looks like I've got several things I have to put to you guys then.

-Time change?
-Weather?
-Using an endurance format, i.e: racing for upwards of 1 hour.

 

[Kaze13]

here is an idea. When race day comes up, look up the current weather at the Nurb and apply during the race. In fact, it would be much more interesting if you applied this across all the racetracks on the calendar.

Sigh... if only more race tracks had options for weather. As for your entry, I'll have a think about it.

It's not that I don't trust you or anything like that, I'm just curious if this will be a one-off thing or are you planning to stick around for a possible Season 2?

Much appreciated if you guys could fill this out. I know it's not the end of the season yet, but it'd be great if we could get the ball rolling for a possible Season 2.

I click on that and it just says "Sample Question 1" "Sample Question 2" with blank spaces. lol

Count me in as well I'm not doing the next race unfortunately (unless Dibbz for some reason can't pull himself away from KZ3), but the practice sessions are so much fun I can't stay away.

Btw, toxa - no offense taken, lets just move on to the next race

 

[Toxa]

no prob , same here

 

[UFRA]

Great. I'm hoping by letting people know a bit further in advance we get a good turnout. I won't be around the rest of the week so Monday or Friday is my only practice day.

Luckily my extensive time spent getting all gold in the AMG events makes me confident I can handle the Ring. Especially since I just love the track anyways.

Also - Toxa. I feel I should just say that my comments in response to yours were just my opinion as well, and I don't mean to sound as if I was upset with you. I do respect your philosophy on the slipstreaming matter very much in all honesty. And I too think slipstreaming is overpowered in this game.

Also, my vote is "yes" to all 3 Nurburgring conditions as well. Let's end the season with a bang, yes? lol

[ashk]

-Yes. The visibility at night in the unlighted parts is horrible (unless someone knows if it's possible to turn high beams on?), but it just makes you know the track better.
-No. After watching the last race (which was supposed to be a "wet weather experiment") fail to get past its parade lap in the wet, I'm not convinced that everyone can handle rain.
-Yes. But only if we stick to the schedule, i.e. not start an hour later. Since qualifying will have to be prolonged, I'd suggest cutting the 15 mins of practice and just start with quali immediately.

See you in practice

great thanks

Would you be in favor of introducing a "Success Ballast" system, like the one used in the real Super GT? *

yep only if there's still a gap between some cars, if we manage to balance the championship with standar cars I don't think we sould penalized a driver because he got higher driving skills .

there's a lot of pretty good driver here like salacious, fas or ashk ... if everyone own a good car the championship should be more interesting

btw the last time race in the NRL I didn't experience any trouble at all with my network it worked fine and no ghost car

-Yes. The visibility at night in the unlighted parts is horrible (unless someone knows if it's possible to turn high beams on?), but it just makes you know the track better.

Also, just something I've been thinking about the last few days, would anyone be willing (I know this is a huge ask) to put together a montage of sorts of the season? Doesn't need be too fancy or anything, just something with a variety of footage and a decent song in the background.

maybe I can do that if someone can give me some footage from our races in MP4 or WMV

since the patch 1.07 they fixed the PP sytem and I checked :

Lexus Bandai : 600pp
Xanavi GTR: 678 or 670

Wow, yeah. My Toyota Yellowhat is 598.
Now that go I through the others in my garage, which are not even broken in like my Yellowhat, and still out class it.
Most the others have an unused PP around 630, give or take. So no downforce or oil-change and they woop my car's ass. Greeeeaaaat.

Filled out the form.

I suggest lots of "off-season testing" to iron all the new rules and whatnot out.

I agree. We shouldn't have a too long off-season though in my opinion for two reasons. 1: People might forget about the league and 2: I want to race again dammit!

Regarding PP - I checked my Xanavi right now and it has 625 PP. Don't know what you've done to your Xanavi to get 670 PP...

Anyway, PP, even though they said they improved them isn't working very well as lots of tests have shown.

well

I'm happy to see people are supporting the inclusion of the standard Super GT cars into season 2. That will make me a happy camper.

[SunhiLegend]

Can someone please upload the 2nd round replay file in pal. Mediafire link doesn't work. Did not get round to signing up for season 1 but hopefully can join for the new season.

 

[Angst]

Set the lounge to changeable weather and time. Started raining after 20 mins and after another 20 minutes it's getting pretty difficult...

Edit - I know I said "BRB", but now it's too late to rejoin for me.

Some thoughts:
We will need to have a pretty long qualification session if everyone is to get a registered time. It takes almost 10 minutes to start the timer. And if you mess up before that or on the qualification lap with damage on it's back to the pits... Probably need at minimum 30 minutes, but preferably longer. Maybe start the quali 1 hour before race start and let people take their time?
