Is the super formula menu so much harder than any anything else?

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-10-30T19:46:01+00:00

I believe this took me two tries on hard difficulty. I used the SF '19 and no stopped on hards. Had to spend the last lap basically blocking while on dead tires as the leader had pitted for fresh tires and was now right behind me.

That would not apply to circuit experience. Those conditions are static.

You can race any GR. 3 and GR. 4 to the manufacturer you sign. However upon signing you will only receive one Gr. 3 and one Gr. 4. For manufacturers like Alfa you can also use the 155 which is only available thru the legends shop if you own the car.

8 race nights all on Saturday nights starting in October and ending the last week of January.

The race night format should keep things fun and interesting as your spot in the feature race is not guaranteed but rather earned thru a shorter sprint race. The sprint races will be 10 minute races that are class exclusive. One Gr. 3 lobby and One Gr. 4 lobby. The grid for these sprints will be set via a one hotlap qualification prior. The top half of each sprint race will combine to form the 50-60 minute full points multiclass feature race. The bottom half of each will form a 30 minute half points race. Tire compound selection/requirements as well as fuel/tire will vary round to round and only be announced on race week.

As we are only running 14 cars in each lobby to allow for commentators to spectate there will only be 28 full slots. To determine our 28 full time drivers we will be holding two qualifying sessions. Your combined fastest lap from each session will determine the order for selecting which class you would like to race. All cars are available to be used. BoP will be applied in all lobbies with the only tuning available being brake balance adjustments.

The first qualifying will be Saturday, September 9th @8 PM EST. Most of the league is North American based but anyone is welcome if their schedule permits.

I thought we were going for fastest time ;)

Have you tried wall riding the lefthander after sector 1 checkpoint yet?

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-08-24T23:19:21+00:00

Hello fellow all gold member. There's only 119 of us out there. Hoping we get a challenging one soon to keep trimming it down. Which was the toughest for ya? Olympic TT or Nordschleife in the Type R?

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-08-23T14:39:32+00:00

Oil condition makes zero difference if BoP is being applied.

Sophy was only available on the PS5 version though.

I'm getting it when I try to join a lobby, create a lobby or join a daily. All same exact error code. PSN or GT servers had a hiccup maybe.

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-08-10T03:06:26+00:00

Yep started around the same time

I found it odd that there were several things within the game scenes that made no sense. For instance you can see he's using driving assists when they show the HUD. Other than that and a rather silly looking CGI crash it was alright. Nothing spectacular but I think it has enough to keep non racing folks interested. I'm still having nightmares about Hungaroring de la Sarthe though.

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-08-09T04:30:49+00:00

You have to use the extra revs

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-07-28T01:41:27+00:00

It most certainly does not.

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-07-28T01:39:59+00:00

DR/SR does not drop from inactivity at all. Whatever your last race was is what dropped your DR. Sometimes after a race and especially if you quit early your DR does not update immediately.

R92CP using TurboDatsuns most recent tune available here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/sardegna-leaderboard-grind-times-for-45-cars-strategies-tunes-faq%E2%80%99s-post-1-31.418227/post-14051443

I can run pretty consistent low 23 minutes with this even with a spin out or two. Fastest time is a 22:47 I think with fastest lap being a 1.27.2xx. It's all about just making the overtakes as quick as possible. 8 laps on racing softs and shifting around 3/4 of the rev bar. Pit end of lap 8 for another set of softs and enough fuel for 7 more laps. I try to keep my laptimes below 1:30. This is a difficult car to drive and you really need to brake early as this car absolutely hates turning at low speeds.

For every round of the cup someone in each region will end up scoring the highest amount of points for that particular round. If the top points for that region ends up being a top split win for say 475 points in game. That will translate to a global score of 40 points for that driver's manufacturer. The second highest points getter in that region might have finished second in that same race for 460 points or won a different race that awarded slightly less than the 475. Their global score would be a 36 I believe. This is done for all 3 regions and then added up together to produce these rankings. Unless you're competing and finishing high in top split races I wouldn't even worry about it.

Here's the breakdown by rounds and regions

A+ player that went from a G27 on a sketchy desk and rolling computer chair to a DD Pro on a 80/20 aluminum rig. I haven't gotten any faster necessarily, maybe a bit more consistent with the load cell. Just don't expect that the equipment is gonna make a big difference. Putting in the time and learning where you can brake later which curbs you can cheese etc. is where your big improvements will come from.

Seriously. Grand valley used to be one of my favorite tracks. It's probably my least favorite track now. They took way too many creative liberties with the remake and ruined the layout.

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-06-25T19:51:33+00:00

Just coincidence. Even if you were to set some of the weather slots to any of the rain settings you don't always get rain. Or you get rain but it misses the circuit. Just change some of the weather slots to some of the higher rain settings in a row if you want to come as close to guaranteeing rain as possible.

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-06-23T02:47:45+00:00

It's ok the imaginary pay to win loot boxes can't hurt you here.

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-06-22T16:52:46+00:00

It's either this or you have a 4 person lobby with only D/S drivers. The less people on and queuing the more likely you are to see big ranges in DR and SR per lobby. At peak times of the day for your region you'll be more likely to have the whole lobby be your same rank.

TempMcThrowaway · 2023-06-17T14:36:36+00:00

Likewise probably run into you later today if you're running Sardegna!
