I think it's not really fair on Bradley or eyeball if we include it but see what they think - personally I'd rather not race that bloody track again ;-)Such a shame that didn't go to plan because of network issues or the game bugging out.
I can tally up the results or we can try again next week? Up to you guys.

Ah, was that you - tofuhero?The game kept me in auto drive when the race started. Eventually it just stopped next to two other cars towards the end of the lap. Couldn't do anything but quit. What a waste of time and effort that was. So disappointed, I was really looking forward to that race.

I really struggled to drive the Ferrari and I don't really know why. The thing kept drifting even with little to no throttle. I thought it was the tyre wear but dailies had more before. I need to test it.

Not sure what happened at the start. 'tofuhero' in position 11, the Ferrari, just stopped. In fact the replay shows 12th place overtook him even before the race officially started and the majority of the pack had done one while we were still stuck behind tofuhero. It wasn't his fault, the game just let it happen during auto-drive.
Ah well, team Aston Martin did OK methinks. I climbed from 14th to 10th so I'm happy with that but ruttyboy won! Amazing work fella.
Go Team Aston!
Oh, and I'm totally fine if that was a warm-up, considering the auto-drive issues at the start.
Yuppp, that was me. I noticed my car stopped and then a car went by me and I was thinking, "damn this is a long rolling start" and then when I saw cars behind me trying to get around me I realized I was screwed. Never had that happen to me before. I'm wondering if it's the mix of classes in the lineup that confused the game.
I think issues like that may have to be dealt with by awarding the unfortunate driver half the max points or something? Otherwise this championship will never actually work I don't think.
That would be fair, but I'm not sure if restarting the race will keep the quali time :(Well, my feeling is, if someone has a problem within the first lap, we do one race restart. Any more than that and we just continue on and they get half the max, or get put in last place. I'm not sure what's fairer to everyone.
Could you see your quali time on the leaderboard on the left of the screen when you finished that lap?Game didn't register my quali time (was in top 3 GR4 for sure) and started dead last, then I was stuck with other guys at start behind bugged car for few seconds. Just great.
But I'm happy for my place, best I could do given this mess of a start.

Same. I was sure I got the top 3 GR4 time as well. As far as I could tell we didn't have a qualifying session. It was Practice > Race. Well, at least it always said 'Practice' on my screen.Game didn't register my quali time (was in top 3 GR4 for sure) and started dead last, then I was stuck with other guys at start behind bugged car for few seconds.

Yeah, I just watched a bit of OGG's stream to see what happened to him on the first lap and I was quite surprised to see you on pole and me in third, on my screen OGG was pole and I was second!Ummm...
Ruttyboy wasn't on my screen at any point.
I didn't realise I had to push any harder than I did, so definitely want a rerun :P
Wait till you see my replay lol

If y'all want to count it, that's fine I guess, though Ferrari and whatever team Bradley is on will be down on points. I hope that auto drive issue is not going to be a problem going forwards with the mixed classes.
The Gr.3 is very squirrelly, especially without CSA. I'm fine with switching cars with you if you want.

I streamed the race for my friend so you can see it from my POV in shit quality here (go to 1:12:50 for the start of the race): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/223388141
Can't say I'm not disappointed considering I actually bloody won for once, but yeah, in light of the technical difficulties I think we'll have to call it practice run.
I tested it offline. Felt it was a lot more controllable but the back end still slips more than I am used to. Got times of 1:56, not sure how good that was. Perhaps it was the tyre wear. I'll practice a bit more this week and let you know. Needed to pit every 3 laps lol

I just ran at my own pace on mediums with fuel mixture at 5, one stop on lap 8. Didn't realise there was a race on lol
Here is my view, including qualifying and a look at my settings right after the race.
Mercedes:
Oh crap, definitely happy to lose that weight though!Lol, you can see the gap where my car should be in that thumbnail :D
Also, not that it matters now, but you set your car up with the GT4 BoP settings, not the GT3...
Just had my first FIA race as a DR C, on Monza. C ranks are dirtier than D drivers! It was mayhem even beside the mayhem of that track. Had three different Lambos trying to take me out, one tried to ram me off the track as I was passing them on the finish line. I think both my rankings took a big hit on that one. The SR system is simply not working if SR S drivers are allowed to ram people off.
Oh and they still haven't fixed that yellow flag situation where ghosted cars on the track give you a 5 second penalty. I got that twice during the race. :/

Haha that explains why he came blasting past in qualifying like a rocket. Also with a lower weight reduction ratio, won't he gain weight or does it work in reverse of the wording?
Really? I've always been working on the assumption that 110% would meant 10% extra power or 10% extra weight. That seems counter intuitive given how power works.

Take a look at JamboGT video, we are the last two guys in pits right before race start. Coincidence?Same. I was sure I got the top 3 GR4 time as well. As far as I could tell we didn't have a qualifying session. It was Practice > Race. Well, at least it always said 'Practice' on my screen.
Well that explains it, I just parked right outside of pit exit and waited there for race to start - definitely didn't cross 1st sector mark.I think someone on GT Planet worked out a while back that in order to make sure qualifying time registers you need to be out of the pits and be at least past sector 1 on your out lap.
