That was a really fun race, I thought I had cut the chicane by miles until I watched it back, the outside wheels were barely over the edge of the curb which somehow makes it more painful 😂😭
It was great fun racing with you and the other drivers that wanted to race last week. There were very few driving badly on purpose, nothing a racing incident couldn't solve, which was just as well as there were so many crashes caused by the triple bump draft and missing the braking points. I ended up with five broken engines, but it was still fun trying to catch you up. TT and racing were so different, I thought I was doing well when I went above Arkeys on the leaderboard, then I entered a race. I still don’t know where the braking point is for the end of the Mulsanne Straight, I use the braking zone assist and it wasn’t there, probably explains why so many people were getting it wrong. I eventually got quick enough across the start line and found the perfect line into turn one and the red lines wouldn’t appear for T2 until I slowed down. It confused me the first few times and I forgot to brake into T2. I met a few players who didn’t like me bump drafting them and going faster who brake checked me, I didn’t retaliate, I just tried to remember the name for the next race and avoided bump drafting them again. I pushed a few players so much faster they had no idea where to brake and they ended up in the sand, I’m sure I caused other accidents, but if I tapped someone going into a corner I always tried to make sure they got out of the corner first. I met one player who complained I’d pushed to pass, they obviously didn’t know my style or that someone else had pushed and put themselves in the sand and I went past both of them, fair overtake I’d say. By the end of the week I was going two and three wide into corners and diving in places I probably shouldn’t, normally by accident when people were braking early and everyone was surviving. A clean overtake for 10th is so much more enjoyable than hitting players out of the way even if it is accidently. At the beginning of the week every time I got near a corner side by side with someone, I could hear my exgirlfriend shouting at me “we are getting closer, make sure you pull out before we get there, we don’t want any accidents!”
It was good fun racing against you most of the week again, it was a really fun race if you were up against the right people and annoying when you weren't. On the first day quite a few of the top players saw it as a “meme race” so were treating it like a demo derby, fine every now and then for a bit of fun if everybody is up for it but every race gets tiresome quickly. I'm not sure if you heard that Mikail Hizal has a role with PD now so handed out official warnings to a few in top split, TX3_Dede got a 30 day ban for it which is overly harsh but the ban threat did tidy up half of the deliberate stuff in top split. The bump drafting is hit and miss, I don't like it when you push the car ahead at the same time as you get a push from behind because it pushes the car in the middle out of line, it was the same at SSRX a few weeks ago, I try to brake before pushing if the speed difference is too big because otherwise you destroy both cars. Some people didn't understand slipstream at all, you would be pushing them and they wouldn't follow the cars a second ahead so you're giving up a load of speed, overall though I think these races would race better if bump drafting wasn't a thing because you get trapped in a train with too much momentum for anybody to pull out of line and gain places. There are a few corner markers on the left before Mulsanne corner, I was using the first one after you go under the gantry as my brake marker, in clean air I was braking pretty much on it, with a slipstream just before because of the extra entry speed. I did change the ABS setting from default to weak half way through the week and that seemed to help the stopping distance. I get that it's a tough braking zone but some people had been racing it all week and still missing it by miles every race, I ran out of patience with one guy last night and full throttled him into the gravel because I had been on the receiving end of too many of his accidents 🙈. That advice from for your ex 😂
@@GOTMAXPOWER I always thought SR was switched off for race A because crashes would be inevitable but not intentional. I know with SSRX it was possible to be naughty and lead the cars following into a wall or squeeze the car on the outside so they made a mistake, even if I was the one being squeezed or behind getting collected it was still fun. When people started brake checking up the hill because they knew it would kill the cars behind and just pushing others into the barrier it lost it’s fun. I still had some good races in the B/S lobbies, 2 or 3 chains of cars going into the last corner side by side and 10-11 finishing within a second and a few races where I won or lost by 0.001. I found bump drafting is so much more complicated than just tapping the car in front. A two car chain could break the bumper, a three car chain could kill car 2 and 3 if driver 3 didn’t know and got too close, if it was four or more it was normally when not if it would go wrong. It took me a few days to work it out, I’m guessing it’s something PD are trying to work out as well, it has been slightly different every time, the second SSRX the cars felt like they had triangle bumpers. I think the slipstream races have more strategy than most race C, they are almost impossible to win on your own and you cannot decide what to do for T2/lap 2 until you get there. Even a 6-8 second lead at the beginning of the Mulsanne straight wasn’t enough for me to beat you.
@@SpacedCosmo I'm not sure, it seems like SR is turned off all the time for these chaos races but on for others which seem like there would be loads of contact (like the Chaparral race at Monza). You could argue there is no such thing as a inevitable crash if people are being sensible enough. There is a big difference between accidents and trolling like the people you mention brake testing at SSRX, that's something that needs a report button rather than just hoping the SR takes care of it imo but good luck finding decent moderators who would do it for free. Bump drafting isn't really compatible with the collision physics on Gran Turismo, in real racing you would lock onto the bumper ahead, in the game the cars bounce off each other (I think because they're totally solid so can't absorb any of the impact) so instead of proper pushing you're pushing them ahead with little collisions. That's why it gets so awkward when you're giving and receiving a push at the same time, the physics freak out a bit and push you over to the side. Slipstream races are just as skilled as any other race (aside from the train races) only it's a different kind of skill/tactics, some people respect that others don't. The slipstream last week might've been a bit too strong but it did make some fun moments.
You got some serious car control skills man! Sick driving! Feels like I have been waiting forever for a Gr3 week n get to see one of my liveries on YT 😉👍😎
It would be nice if people could use liveries 💩 PD broke sport mode on the last update so you can cheat and modify your cars so they've restricted it to rentals only for now. Just watch it be a really dull race when it's working again.
Ayy I on the highlight (MoP_Jibril) 6:03 Just happen to saw your video You got so lucky u were inches away from getting killed but we dodged them in the end lol, good to race with you 👍
I'm not sure what they were playing at, everybody had penalties so they could've still won if they kept it clean until the slow zone 🤪 Thanks for the races that week, that was a fun car/track combo, hopefully there isn't too long of a wait before they do something similar.
8:12 1cm over the curb, worst VAR decision since Coventry were kicked out the FA Cup 😭
Take the Right Turn-✖️, Take a turn in drift-✔️ Very fun episode, thank you❤
That 3-car battle against Konsta/Oscar was really good. Also chicane is for drifting 🙈🙈🙈

Of course, Escottjon was too scared to race so nobody was knocked into the pitlane 🙈
That would of been good
