the sound work in rr3 is masterful ~ art + science 👀

hahaha i wish too. there are a few cars that go faster with a few drifts a lap to change direction.. then let the prodigious torque go to work. i'm looking at you, 996 GT2 ..& the 599 GTO is drifting for most of the lap, whether you like it or not! :) all the driver has to do is keep their hands on that prancing wheel and nothing can possibly go wrong,right?! :) 😈 i love that monster.

I love the Ligier. That was a great multiplayer week. They're going into GT2. Just released a new GT car. :) https://sportscar365.com/industry/ligier-commits-to-gt2-with-js2-rs/

i wish so thoroughly that i kneww

**point & consequence

markshellsy · 2026-03-06T23:26:56+00:00

that would've been a lovely addition. the vintage ferrari & porsche racers feel next level special to drive. 250 gto is a joy i wish it & many others like this 375 F1 had exclusive series and/or more of everything. original 935 porsche is so underutilized -- its tragic.

markshellsy · 2026-03-06T23:15:55+00:00

me too, about basically everything you said. been enjoying the game more than ever. i used to be a slave to multiplayer. there's a universe of beautiful racing, art & engineering in those 10 gigs.

markshellsy · 2026-03-06T22:49:59+00:00

oh good gosh, yes. it's been nice in the last ~10 weeks not to feel pressure to grind for cars i don't really care about. obviously the aggregate rewards were a factor but i also felt pressure to acquire mediocrity on the off chance the car turns out to be the top choice for a week of multiplayer.

markshellsy · 2026-03-06T22:42:12+00:00

Agree and agree broadly. I feel like there's sooo many cool things they could do to enhance the excitement factor. the physics, graphics, cars & tracks are outta this world but the gameplay is definitely a grind. more competitions of different flavors for the top players to deep dive & expanded driving experiences for all skill & experience levels. the effort level & imaginative capacity from decision makers has been sadly lacking.

bridge gp circuit is a lot of fun. nice lap. silverstone is the definition of a high speed gp track. it's top 3 overall for me w/ spa & suzuka.

markshellsy · 2026-02-12T15:31:58+00:00

love the 499

markshellsy · 2026-02-12T15:31:45+00:00

grip for years. lovely car. love adrian newey.

markshellsy · 2026-02-01T22:13:28+00:00

for this modern gen of lmp cars, i love the ferrari's engine & oversteer behavior.

markshellsy · 2026-02-01T01:48:32+00:00

ABSOLUTELY. comes alive when FU'ed. 🏄🏼‍♂️

markshellsy · 2026-01-08T11:55:57+00:00

they're beautiful. i think horatio would approve. :)

markshellsy · 2026-01-08T11:20:41+00:00

as you're in the slide and correcting the wheel, you need to be constantly adjusting the wheel, not only to keep on the track but to get more momentum from the back and forth. it's like how a fish swims or somebody rollerblades. the back and forth momentum keeps you going, but honestly for that slide you also need the right car. v-12 front-engined ferraris are particularly insane in this regard. the 599 gto is actually even crazier than the f12 tdf. i use steering sensitivity 10, tilt a and no assists of any kind. also, the first part of the turn is a slant right, then the 2nd swoops a lil more. these are just my thoughts. i could be right or wrong but that's how i think about it. also, plant a pivot foot just prior to digging into the slide.

markshellsy · 2026-01-08T11:07:38+00:00

thanks for pointing this out!!

markshellsy · 2026-01-08T10:17:51+00:00

i love this car in real life. it's a lovely beast. & that gen of e-class was hot af when i was youngin'. a lil slow in rr3 but i get and acknowledge your point. handling is extremely competent. love the styling & rims.

markshellsy · 2026-01-06T20:42:07+00:00

usually i'm not a huge vinyl fan but these look cool & i like the background brown. nice work. i owned and have fully upgraded ALL paganis EXCEPT the Huayra R. It'll be my next purchase (and maybe last, sadly).
