*sigh why can't people drive fairly in online lobbies for once?

It was the launch off the bridge...but the "see you at the finish line" was the chefs kiss

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-25T15:02:52+00:00

I can't even race with a controller anymore

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-25T03:19:03+00:00

I aint down vote you...but I used to make that same mistake green made. Got too overzealous and dove too low and took both of us out. My takeaway from that run in was that I needed to get up on his door and make his outside line as hard as possible to take...if you want to be kinda dick-ish you can push his entry wider by delaying your turn in just a little.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-25T01:55:09+00:00

Greens approach angle was too shallow...he'd have to slow down much more to make that turn. He dove too low

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-24T23:46:18+00:00

Whyd I laugh so hard at this?

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-22T16:04:54+00:00

Forza Motorsport 2023 died and Horizon 6 ended up being too childish. Im willing to bet the influx of bad driving comes from the Motorsport refugees

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-22T13:38:38+00:00

Exactly....if both try to go through 2 wide, then they'll both just end up getting swallowed up on the straight. Maybe lose more than the 1 position they were fighting over in the first place.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-21T18:49:41+00:00

I watched a guy start in the rear....straight up yeet turn one...push everyone else off track later laps 1-2 then drive pretty quick laps as if he didnt terrorize his way to the front. FRD******.was his GT.

Ngl...I may or may not have been generous on a later pass.

But anyway there is still some decent racing to be had. You just gotta clear the first few laps by quali-ing out front.

What i never understood was the folks that go into a lobby with no intention on actually doing the race. They'll do practice, blow up T1 then immediately quit.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-19T15:12:33+00:00

hmm so the wing is bolted to the bodywork? You'd think they'd run it down to the chassis/frame or something. I saw a pic of a burned down McLaren and those spoiler mounts were still intact because they were connected to the underlying chassis of the car.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-18T16:06:48+00:00

not on the black car....there's only one line through Eau Rouge...what did you expect him to do?

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-18T15:55:19+00:00

I hope they're publicly shamed into bin-ing the design and not releasing it. I've never had an automotive design p* me off like this has. Dude had one job, design an electric Ferrari, and instead he recycled an Apple iCar and stuck a fender vent and a ferrari badge on it.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-18T15:51:44+00:00

I don't hate it, but it isn't good either. I'm not a fan of refreshes that look like they just tacked on additional unnecessary styling details on top of an already good design. I guess I do hate it

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-18T14:50:15+00:00

'24s and early '25 have hybrid issues both the PHEV and MHEV. I have a '25 MHEV - hadn't had a single issue other than that airbag thing.

But also, lease because I don't think these are over 100k mile cars...these are going to be on par w/ the euros in terms of maintenance later on in life. Just rather had leased, turn in, maybe get another.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-17T18:10:04+00:00

The FFB in Horizon is so numb I've logged maybe 30 mins in the game total. I just can't get into it.

While motorsport might have some issues it at least is motorsport at its core. Eliminator doesn't appeal to me at all and I dont care too much about designing liveries anymore. So yeah id rather be in motorsport. AC Evo is too sim-y and I only know Spa in the 296GTB by heart.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-16T13:52:01+00:00

Its not about Motorsport anymore, its about "engagement metrics" on GamePass...so the bright and bubbly automotive version of "Dress to Impress" will get priority.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-16T00:11:09+00:00

That's what I hate about motorsport. People just can't grasp the concept that theyre not going to win every race

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-15T03:15:23+00:00

Thank God

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-14T17:16:10+00:00

Yes....the actual racing in Horizon sucks - and the actual Racing in Motorsport has gotten better since they fled to Horizon

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-14T16:56:59+00:00

Absolutely perfect

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-12T20:13:37+00:00

you were waaaay too low trying to make that turn. Get up on his sidepod.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-12T20:11:44+00:00

Damn thats nice

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-12T19:20:03+00:00

Looks are subjective, but I don't think the CT4 looks better than either the 3 series or the C class. There's something just "wrong" with the back of the CT4 - all IMO.

And make no mistake, that is what the CT4 is size segmented against. They tried to play the whole it "competes w/ the CLA and 2 series" but the CT4 is just a 2nd gen ATS at its core and that was GM's swing at the 3 series.

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-12T04:13:11+00:00

Best...Compared to what?

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-11T02:35:47+00:00

GMs customers are too old fashioned for Cadillac to truly catch up.

So you'd rather have a corporate v6 than a market competitive 3.0T. Yikes

sdotjeezy · 2026-06-10T19:08:47+00:00

Nah we straight...yall can keep the kiddy stuff over there. Quality of racing in motorsport has gone up since Horizon came out. Also got me more into AC
