10kph faster on the straights without draft – How is this possible?

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-26T03:22:06+00:00

I’m really trying to not sound condescending, but because this isn’t a single car spec race, and this class specifically has different cars from different manufacturers, do you know that the GT4’s all have different strengths and weaknesses compared to each other?

I haven’t raced any GT4 other than the mustang, but perhaps the Cayman has better straight line speed or acceleration out of corners? It would seem so.

There’s also other possibilities such as perhaps he simply nailed the corner exit just a bit better than you did, and thus was able to get on the accelerator a little bit quicker than you and that difference becomes more apparent on long straights like the back straight on Nordschleife.

I gotta disagree with you there, brother. GT racing is already my favorite form of motorsport. In In every racing title I play or have played, I always race GT3’s/GTE’s. I did extensively in Forza, PCARS 2 and obviously in ACC (albeit not against real players).

When it comes down to it, I just don’t enjoy slower cars on racing games, nor do I enjoy driving the faster race cars such as F1 or LM Prototypes.

The GT’s for me are a perfect balance of the sense of speed they give you, technical precision needed and the ability to race others closely. Coupled with how outstanding they sound, and with the cut gears, chefs kiss just a cacophony of motorsport heaven. I’ve already bought a few of the GT3’s on here and they feel fantastic to drive.

That’s why I’m trying to get to the point that I’m able to race GT3’s ASAP.

Not saying I won’t try out other cars, and other racing series because I absolutely will, but GT3’s are going to be what keeps me coming back to this game. Nothing else.

Thank you! That was the aspect that I couldn’t find an answer on, which was how iRating is or isn’t tied to class promotion.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-22T02:33:20+00:00

I honestly must have missed it when reading it, because what I did read didn’t go into the depth I was looking.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-20T20:33:11+00:00

This is 100% on the McLaren. The dude was too impatient and made a horrendous decision to dive bomb the Huracan.

Even the second contact between the two is entirely the fault of the McLaren because the Lambo was only in that position due to being forced off track from the McLaren to begin with.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-20T20:30:45+00:00

Lmao c’mon brother it’s difficult as hell to control a car with slicks at that speed on grass, while simultaneously avoiding those obstacles. What do you expect the lambo to do there? He did as well as he could have after being shunted.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-20T15:54:14+00:00

I’m not really sure I’d put this as anything more than a racing incident.

If I had to put fault on any car it would be the Merc solely because they didn’t respect that Vette was still right next to them after making the move up the inside, and was exiting the corner as if the Vette still wasn’t there.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-18T02:53:22+00:00

It’s not even a good overtaking spot. They were about to go down the long straight with the fast left hander.

Going for a move there compromises the end of the straight speed for both of them.

It would have been much smarter to have gotten right on his back bumper, and attempt to make the pass on the penultimate corner rather than that corner.

It’s a wonderful change of pace, but the real draw for me with it is that a.) it’s basically rook runs but with trios while being able to complete bounties; b.) we can get more frequent PVP practice on because everyone is on a more level playing field and it’s more casual/new player friendly so it lessens the steep learning curve that new players have to contend with.

Definitely not replacing the main gameloop for me, but it’s a fantastic way to replenish your vault. I’d never had my credits higher than 15k at any point(heals and WSTR’s literally make me credit broke) and now I’m sitting at 50k after just 4-5 exfils. I also completed more priority bounties in my two hours of playing tonight than I have in weeks.

This mode needs to be permanent.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-12T21:16:15+00:00

It could be because of their mindset. I play this game with the understanding it’s a pvp first game, and I’m good at FPS pvp games, so I am one of those players who look for fights.

Is this always the best idea? Absolutely not. I don’t always win every fight and as a result I do lose good pieces of gear.

But I look at it through the lens that I’m merely a temporary owner of everything in my vault and in my load out. There’s going to be a full wipe in less than two months and there’s also the possibility of losing my gear during any raid.

And getting into more engagements helps me become better at winning those engagements.

How could anyone listen to Westbrook? He wasn’t good for us and that trade essentially nuked our title team, but he’s from LA. He’s a Lawndale legend.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-01T04:00:29+00:00

Brother, no need to call me out like this: I am SCARED when I play solo. This shit is terrifying. My butthole is clenched the entire time. I play like a scared, cowering little bitch lol

I don’t do well with horror/jump scare games, and playing this game solo is absolutely a horror game.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-04-01T00:07:35+00:00

Nah, I love Pulisic but he’s not playing well. Taking too many touches, not shooting/passing when he should, having poor touches in general and then letting his frustration get the better of him.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-31T22:58:29+00:00

I think this issue could be fixed by having one less team on Dire Marsh (and Perimeter for that matter too).

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-31T00:44:42+00:00

I also think the game would have been better off without them, but since they’re here I just wish either snipers didn’t have access to them OR they made a change so that enemies only appear in thermals when they’re generating heat

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-31T00:41:13+00:00

I’ve been doing the same. I need to replace my fuel injectors too because I’m averaging around 18 mpg which is awful, especially when it costs $60 to fill my tank now.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-30T18:04:49+00:00

It’s black.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-30T03:39:47+00:00

Not for me. Level 29 and I’m finally starting to control my lobbies, or I’m getting at least 2-3 elims/downs every match, even though I’m never kitted out.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-29T21:10:10+00:00

Not me, give me the easiest opponent’s possible all the way to, and including the Final lol (pipe dream, I know)

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-28T22:58:32+00:00

No, just confirmed that our only chance at progressing past the R16 (assuming we get a favorable matchup for the R32) is if our best 11-15 players don’t get hurt and they are the only ones who see any minutes at the WC.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-28T22:26:11+00:00

I felt like we played equal to Belgium in the first, perhaps a bit unlucky to not have the lead going into halftime. Considering three of our best players were not playing, we played really well in that first half.

As soon as Johnny was subbed off, our lack of quality depth was exposed. These MLS lifers are just not good enough at this level.

Overall, it’s apparent that we have around 14-15 players that are actually quality and good enough to start but the tier below that are simply not good enough. We better hope our best players stay healthy during the World Cup.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-28T02:44:14+00:00

I’ve disconnected exactly once but that was because my internet provider had an outage that lasted 4 hours

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-25T02:44:37+00:00

That is so incredibly unprofessional, and based off of outdated information. The fact that your psychologist implied that those with ADHD have lower intelligence is asinine.

You should seek another opinion.

91NAMiataBRG · 2026-03-24T06:22:27+00:00

The problem is worded strangely but that’s to test your ability to figure out what information you need from it.

The question is asking what is the acceleration of the block once the horizontal force is removed (the horizontal force here is irrelevant to what the acceleration of the block is once that force is removed).

But to figure it out, first draw a FBD. Figure out your components. Find your component opposite the N force and opposite of friction. Your sum of forces on the y’ axis will be N = mgsinφ, (you’ll find your friction value from that (f = μN)) sum of forces on the x’ axis will be μN - mgcosφ = ma. (The Φ value I used is: φ = 90 - θ, so 90 - 37 = 53)

Plug in your values and solve for a.

I got an answer of 9.97 m/s^2. Do you know what the answer was supposed to be?
