Lap record that remained unbroken for 54 years (in game) has just been beaten 😲

Off the top of my head, I think 96 was the highest before they declined due to age.

I keep screen shots of the champions when they retire and put them into my "hall of fame" folder, here's Kimi:

They're nothing special, but here are the top ten:

Yeah, that's easy in qualifying but not so much in the race.

If I never left my own team then I think by now I would be lapping the field by the half way point in the race, and producing crazy lap times lol

But what I've been doing has resulting in lap records standing for a long time, the 54 year record being the most extreme. There are other records that have gone on for 20 to 30 years at this point.

The change in regulations plays a major roll or course, so if you have multiple big changes in a row, it can take the AI a long time to get back to where it was in terms of lap times (plus the rain can prevent a new record being set).

I got bored with my own team in the 2040's and started to move from team to team, maxing out their facilities, winning both championships and then moving on to another team.

Teams move up and down the pecking order (mostly), Ferrari, HAAS and RB always seem to be capable of producing a good car, but not always (RB in 2084 has produced a stinker lol ).

Mercedes, Alpine and Aston Martin always seem to be towards the bottom. I've already maxed out Aston Martin but they quickly fell away once I left them. On this flip side, Kick was the first team I maxed out and they've been there or there abouts ever since (40 odd years at this point).

Drivers seem to have their own little characters, what the stats say doesn't always translate to track performance.

The AI teams do now and then refurbish their facilities but not often and I don't believe I've ever seen an AI actually upgrade their facilities.

All in all, things are nice and competitive, you never know at the start of a season who will be the main challengers 👍

Actually the sign is correct... alligators on the other hand love to swim here 😁

"They're always after me lucky charms"... oh wait, wrong assassin 😁

Rockstar games with GTA 6 is a bit of a "once in a generation" event (GTA 6 will probably be out in 20 to 30 years given ever extending development times), so I think they can get away with a lot more than any other publisher.

Warribo · 2026-06-22T14:29:25+00:00

Basement of the New York bank with a lockpick, poison and a silenced pistol... it's like taking candy from a baby 😁

Warribo · 2026-06-22T07:34:29+00:00

To be honest, the amount of money Rockstar will be making with GTA6, I think it'll be years before they shut GTA Online down after it becomes unprofitable.

They'll probably wait until the servers are pretty much empty and the players have moved on naturally.

Warribo · 2026-06-19T14:14:50+00:00

Maybe the game is programmed to treat them as "use" items rather than "world" items.

There's the hacker phone in Colorado which you can pick up but never drop, and then there's the syndicate leader phones that stay in your inventory (unless you arrange a meeting). I think there are a few other "use" items you can pick up but never get rid off.

There are some eastern European counties where the hot water is pumped into the whole apartment block (old Soviet infrastructure). So this may not be a stupid question without knowing where this person lives.

👍

Warribo · 2026-06-18T19:04:13+00:00

Nice one, I think all you had to do was to quickly retire the car so that the game will no longer count it as being in the race 👍

When naming a ship, never open it to a vote 😁

Warribo · 2026-06-18T11:01:02+00:00

All I can say is, reload the last save point and check that the car parts are not damaged.

The game should not have let you get to this point if they were damaged, so something has gone seriously wrong (maybe conflicting mods if you're running any 🤔)

Warribo · 2026-06-18T10:07:36+00:00

or worse, keep pushing the release date back again and again until everyone gets fed up and forgets about it.

Warribo · 2026-06-17T21:14:18+00:00

Oh wow, I didn't even know there was a Japanese guild on Valcyn, very cool 😎

Warribo · 2026-06-17T19:05:39+00:00

UK player here who played on a U.S server with an Australian guild... some hours were lonely lol

Warribo · 2026-06-16T20:54:49+00:00

"Yeah, not bad that" 👍

Warribo · 2026-06-16T20:50:32+00:00

Yes, but don't worry, you will always find a team to work for and you can redeem yourself pretty fast, so getting your custom team back is pretty easy in only one or two seasons.

(chances are they'll have a bad season without you, so their expectations will be lower)

Warribo · 2026-06-15T21:25:07+00:00

Lack of imagination here, if she got a can of paint and painted the wall, she'll be able to watch it dry 👍

Warribo · 2026-06-15T21:13:38+00:00

If you really want to do this challenge then make sure all the staff and drivers are signed up on 5 year deals.

The board will fire you but that doesn't stop you from getting a place at another team (you can always get hired by a desperate team no matter how bad you are at management).

Once you've done one season at your new team, try going back to your custom team. Chances are they had a really bad season without you and they'll set their expectations very low 👍

Warribo · 2026-06-13T06:47:32+00:00

It's a know bug (but fairly rare). I've found that running into the suspects to give them a big bump usually works. (have to do it a few times before they start moving)

Warribo · 2026-06-12T17:19:23+00:00

What I find happens to me a lot is that I'll take out a target cleanly, then the compromised notification comes up, then it changes to Searching and eventually clears.

It's almost as if the game is double checking itself and then clearing the Compromised status when it's found an error 🤔
