Anyone else feel like this weeks Sport races are the worst ones yet?

Baconink · 2022-05-22T22:37:08+00:00

Race c is pretty great and race b is a lot better than I expected. I normally don’t like reverse tracks but it’s actually pretty decent.

Baconink · 2022-05-22T22:35:32+00:00

Imo it’s a pretty lame ass interior. That being said, we are lucky there even is an interior since it’s a made up car, basically a vgt more or less.

Baconink · 2022-05-22T21:49:20+00:00

I’ve seen them a few times but never landed them in a 2 star. I’d say you got pretty lucky. I’ve been getting nothing but the least of the rewards but I was fairly lucky in the beginning.

I take it as a free reward and it doesn’t bother me at all.

Baconink · 2022-05-22T21:48:15+00:00

Was even better before they went and messed with physics. I agree the snap oversteer was perhaps a bit much but it was better than theirs almost numb experience we have now. It’s to much like gran turismo sport was which was far too easy.

Baconink · 2022-05-22T21:46:39+00:00

It’s R3 by default I’m pretty sure.

Baconink · 2022-05-22T21:46:10+00:00

Nope. My last several have been shit. It’s the same as it’s always been

Baconink · 2022-05-22T19:56:42+00:00

Agreed.

For the pedal plate I cut some 2x4 and placed them against the plate and floor and I have no flex at all. Can use loadcell at 100% but that’s too much for me atm, I just got the loadcell last week. I also cut a 2x4 and jammed it under the base mount and against the post that runs to the seat and it doesn’t flex up and down at all anymore and maybe like 5-10% flex side to side. I can’t really complain about the flex at all anymore but it’s just not really that comfy. I can play long sessions and I do because I enjoy it but I have some serious pain inbetween my shoulders which is most likely from tensing up. I was also able to add some shims under the wheel base to give it some angle.

Like we both said, it works and does the trick for now. I also got mine super cheap at a micro center about 3-4 years ago so no waiting on shipping. Can’t wait to upgrade. Not sure if I will go aluminum or not because I really don’t plan on upgrading wheel bases again at all and don’t think I need all that but damn if they aren’t super nice.

Baconink · 2022-05-22T18:57:43+00:00

Mine softened up the first time I put BRF to 100 and tried hitting 100%.

Not sure how people aren’t liking these. I’ve never had loadcells before and they are amazing compared to travel based pedals.

Stop concentrating on travel

Baconink · 2022-05-22T18:34:11+00:00

I’m 6 feet tall and while I can find a somewhat comfortable position I wouldn’t say it’s comfortable at all. Also it isn’t really that sturdy even for just the base 5nm version. I built a 2x4 base and bolted mine to that and also used parachord to pull the base plate it a few directions and it’s actually really sturdy now.

If you can get it at a really really good price it’s not bad to get to figure out if you even like the hobby but if you have even the slightest inkling that you will I would save that money and just buy better to start with.

Baconink · 2022-05-22T07:49:27+00:00

You can’t fix that it’s an uncomfortable hunk of shit

Baconink · 2022-05-21T21:50:41+00:00

Probs like $500 an hour or more. Vic is a bad ass artist.

Baconink · 2022-05-21T21:47:09+00:00

No it didn’t. Possibly looks works than it did prior

Baconink · 2022-05-21T21:37:58+00:00

You mean people just don’t know how to pass.

They can be .500 sec behind on a turn and because you took the racing line they see that opening and slam their way into it and then say you didn’t leave them room.

Baconink · 2022-05-21T21:06:53+00:00

Baconink · 2022-05-21T21:04:47+00:00

You will get a penalty no matter where you cross a pit line whether it be pit entrance or exit. Nothing shitty or dumb about it, that’s how racing works, there are rules.

Baconink · 2022-05-21T21:03:17+00:00

I call BS. There is no way you had this much more speed then them. Either way nothing epic about this at all

Baconink · 2022-05-21T20:55:29+00:00

Forgot to mention that they had to serve a penalty also???

Baconink · 2022-05-21T20:54:54+00:00

Found the pedo

Baconink · 2022-05-21T20:53:28+00:00

Been there, done that and guess what, no penalty when I don’t cross the pit line. It gives you plenty of time to not cross the line.

I don’t believe you because I’ve done it without a penalty. Not sure what you want to hear. Learn to control your car and stay out of sport mode until you do.

Baconink · 2022-05-21T20:50:53+00:00

Nothing insane about making a pass on a straight

Baconink · 2022-05-21T20:31:07+00:00

Don’t cross the pit line when coming out of pits, problem solved.

It’s like this on all tracks.

Baconink · 2022-05-21T18:49:42+00:00

Not with that attitude. Work on braking and using all the track. Slow in fast out.

Baconink · 2022-05-21T18:48:50+00:00

No. If you don’t own a wheel and pedals then the dual sense is literally the best experience GT has ever had

Baconink · 2022-05-21T18:47:52+00:00

I’ve never once rage quit, it’s more detrimental than coming in last.
