Fire up the Quattro  I tuned this to A-Class this morning. It is completely mental and will tear your head off. Therefore it is the best thing ever.

Everyone else isn't Senna, and so should not drive like a prick.

Ugh. Since I couldn't get in on any GISH racing last night, I tried my hand at public online racing. Some rear end-hole named "CookieMonster" kept ramming me and anyone else unfortunate enough to start a race near him off course. Apparently you can only vote to kick someone once at a time? Guy and his friend in the same club kept initiating votes for random people. Once I was finally quick enough on the draw to initiate a vote on him, it took about 1.5 seconds for him to get 10 votes. I think I'll just stick to racing ghosts in rivals when I can't race with any GISH bros. I'm too old and my BP is too high to deal with this poo poo.

jadebullet posted:It seems like an okay idea, but I think it would be better with 60s cars alowed just because I don't see a lot of 1950s cars that would be competitive. I mean, I have a Testa Rossa I could bring up to that PI. I was just thinking, it is Le Mans, would be nice to see some Daytonas, P4s, and GT40s going at it hard. Alright then, opening it up to 60s cars. 2.5 hour race on Old Mulsanne. Only rules are 650PI, car must be RWD and from the 50s or 60s. Qualifying will be a single lap around TGTT with no contact and a 5 second roll-off between cars. Race will be held on Saturday Nov 13th at 6pm EST/3pm PST/11pm GMT.

Here's a buyers tip: If you want a car that's VERY fast in a straight line but handles like a paedophile coated in Vaseline round corners, then why not waste 1,000,000 credits on a TVR Speed 12 No wonder they went bust.

The stock Speed 12 is nothing. Drop its engine in any of the other TVRs available and see what happens when a platform simply resists its power.

The Morgan Aero is similar.. I'm not sure what it is with brits trying to make muscle cars, but they're really bad at it. To its credit, the Aero has an engine noise that will rattle your nuts, so it does have that going for it, but it comes with the sacrifice of being able to turn.

I think calling a TVR a "muscle car" is a bit of a stretch but to call a Morgan one is pretty much an act of war. The Morgan is carefully crafted by hand by a man called Trevor in his garden shed using only wood and nails over the course of about 15 years. It's then driven by the buyer once every 6 months (when the weather is nice) down to the pub for a pint of bitter.

I think the quote from the newer Senna movie trailer hits the nail on the head. It's something like, "Ayrton has a problem. He doesn't think that he can kill himself."xzzy posted:Maybe 1960's muscle. Uh no. The new Shelby-Mustang-turd makes a worn-out Cadillac go "lolunoturn?". There are some beauties, like the newer Vipers and Corvette Z-types, but meh. Even though I absolutely adore a Z06 in this game, I look at the stupid checkered flag thing behind the dials and that ruins the whole experience. The Vipers are the same way- wonderful car, but the dash makes me feel like I'm at the wheel of a Taurus. I just spend my whole time in the car knowing the company that made it can do better. I love the Morgan. I just don't think it's something to race except outside of a hot rod club. You can just retire after the formation lap and everyone will agree that you won at life. If you actually win then why not walk over and give all the other drivers wedgies after you're done? What more do you want from life, you monster!?

Anyway I really like the TVRs - they don't really catch my eye for looks, but once you get used to their squirrely handling (and maybe tune for it), they're pretty boss on the track. Edit: also yeah, American interiors are incredibly drab. I for one really like the new mustangs but they are dangerously boring inside. I also had no idea about some of that poo poo involving checkered flags in the vette though. UGH.

Sorry for bailing last night, LLJK. It wasn't me. It was my wheel. (no, rly!) It tried to reconnect to the xbox (thus hanging the race at the Environment Screen), and then just...died. Quick trip to Best Buy today, and that poo poo is sorted. Boosted_C5 posted:Ugh. I race with pubbies pretty frequently when there's not a goon race handy, and there are some very usable tricks, but they work mostly when you're in a party with some other people who are out to have fun, and not necessarily out to win against a bunch of random people driving like they're 85 years old. We'll do crazy, but fun, poo poo like pick 100 point stock Toyota Aygos. Once you get 4-5 people in the room picking that, even the people not in your party will start picking that car... There's always the one clueless guy who sticks to his 200 point Chevy Spark with the Leaderboard tune, but fighting for 2nd and 3rd becomes a real race. Each subsequent round, someone in the party picks a car, and we race that wherever is next. One night Tom picked the 151 point Hummer, and then the track wound up being Positano. Hilarious, and terrible, all at the same time. Kenny Rogers fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Nov 6, 2011 |

My personal tiebreaker is sound. The car I would want to listen to when driving gets my choice, I will worry about making it competitive later on. Or comedy cars, complete junk that nobody should ever buy IRL. I made a very quick PT Cruiser for online use in Forza 2, just to anger pubbies and then blow their doors off.

What's the strategy to those long straights followed by hairpin turns? Do y'all just memorize where to brake with different types of cars? I felt bad about racing online the other night because I kept forgetting to slow down early enough and slamming into innocent cars at a jillion miles per hour.

You pretty much just have to learn the braking points. that's what those signs on the side of the road are for, they usually say how many meters or some multiple of meters are left until the corner. So learn how fast your car brakes, and then use those signs to your advantage (assuming someone hasn't knocked them all down.)

Similar to the above, any tips for getting used to having the suggested braking line off? I can put in decent rival times with it off once I practice and start setting braking points. The problem comes up racing online and switching between cars and tracks. I'm almost done with a busy stretch at work, and want to start getting into more of the goon racing. Also, why is Motegi in the game? It's a terrible track that racers hate in the real world, and it's a terrible track in video game form.

There's no easy way to do it. You just have to get out and play the tracks in different classes and get a feel for the braking points.

The only corners I have real trouble with are the chicanes on the new Mulsanne straight at Le Mans. The distance markers are in deep shadow and I always miss them, and there's not much else to help gauge the distance. Combine this with very high speeds and I tend to end up in the sand quite a lot.

Mulsanne both new and old are a bit of a bitch. You'd think that in 2,000 miles I would have learned where to stop for the chicanes, or when to turn for that 70 degree right.
