Before MP there is the friend list

Post by norbs »

Surely a few people can jump on to the same track and same car and see how we all fair on the friend list.

Bottom left corner. Be interesting to see how it all works

Well how about we start with that combo you have there? 599 Imola?

At Imola. I will give it a shot tonight. Might be a good way to approach an ARSEwipe! :)

I did about 3 laps with the default setup. Man the car feels soooo different after the update!

How fun is this combo. I discovered it a couple of days ago and wow what a blast

I've tried and I feel I suck at this combo. :) The car is totally different to what it was before, too.

What pisses me off the most are the slowdown penalty and the ghost car, and I really wish there was a quicker, simpler way to restart yourself hotlapping...
Surprise, no sig. Now there is. Or is there?

OK,

Scottie started this.

Maybe a slower combo is in order?

Seeing that we are probably only a month or so away from Multiplayer, maybe could be fun to start working out some combos. Get some competition going.

I propose old BMW race car, non dtm, at mugello for a bit of an arse fest.

So... silly question time....
What mode do you need to drive in for the friends list to work?

I've tried race and practice, both of which say "leaderboard NA for current mode"

?

**edit**
NVM... figured it out: 'hotlap mode' - penalties turned on. :yes:

Would be nice if it could show a steam group instead of just the friends list. It would be easier to see everybody's times if we could just show the arse group.

Down to 1:00.404. Not a bad litle combo. Going back to heel-toe is a pain and shifting without the clutch up and down is occasionally hit and miss. I used to hate left foot brakers and now I can go without!

Bit quicker now. 1:00.298 I don't know how much time is left in it. You'd have to start taking fuel out I would think.

It take a few laps to get the tyres up and going too. Is it the only FWD car in the game? I forgot you need some throttle to get those suckers around the corner.

There could be some fun racing with that combo, just not sure where you would be making passes.

Pipped you at the post tonight by .070. Take that Righty! lol.

Had a spin in the Huyara, or whichever it is, with the top gear tyres. Made it so much better. Adjusted some of the cambers and made it twitchy which upped the concentration level. Imola and the Huyara is a pretty fun drive.

The amount of times I have had that thing in all sorts of trouble and somehow fluked it through a corner at Imola. It is awesome.

On the brakes with the smallest amount of turn in and it wants to attack the corner with gusto. Had a few moments when getting used to it.

My profile doesn't look to be connecting to my account :(

* nevermind, sorted it...

Got down to a 1:00.3, but couldn't quite get to the .2 there :)


The fezza at Imola really lacks feedback eh!


The M3 around Mugello is good fun though!

1:00.7 after about 30mins & some setup changes. Having trouble with the 1st corner as i reckon there is time to be made there & I hate all the hairpins...

At least I'm faster than :norbs: :p (just)


Anyone know if or how you can see all your fastest lap times via STEAM or any other method???

Well you're the one who insisted on the combo, that's all. :lol:
by the way I'm also ordinary & you're not as bad as you think & say you are. ;)
But looks like En-J is now my carrot... :yes:
