I fcking hate this track. It seems the only way to be fast is using the curbs, but using the curbs sometimes makes you fly.

I can not drive 2 clean laps in 20. When I did I managed a reasonable 2.05 high, but I'm sure I'm gonna wreck sooner or later.

Should be a looooong race tomorrow. I'm sure I'll screw it up.

Finally home and ready to race tomorrow. Just have no time to practice. Going in cold. I'm sorry to everyone I might bump into.

No practice? Sounds like my teammate...
He thinks Netflix is practice.

Oy! Liz has the week off so we have been recreationally medicated for most of the week! I actually get better for a while before I get waaaayyy worse, but I just don't think of it usually.


Shut up! Blame Liz!

My ninja. I'm just coming down. I practiced today for the first time all week because I am just convinced Long Beach is my worst track. Ended up doing a pretty respectable time, but I'm not gonna jinx myself nor my partner.

Hoping for the best and the extra point always helps!!

Just watched your replay - nice lap. I really need to learn how to use manual clutch properly because I can't see where else I'm losing time.

Make the switch. It'll cost you a solid week of learning curve.....but the moment you start doing the same lap times WITH manual and clutch... .You're good from there. The rest is just learning how to coast I do believe.

Remember your worst race result is excluded from the Drivers championship but not the Team championship. Fastest lap points also do not count towards the Team championship.

Next week's race is at Silverstone.

Im sorry for fucking up the first race lol. That was fun once i found a groove- too bad it wasnt until about lap 20. Easily my worst track, too. Silverstone will be awesome!

got the wrong hit
Has there been a update to the game in the last week? My Xbox is downloading an update for this very very slowly as if it's downloading the whole game again.

Good race fellas.

Cthulhu, my apologies for the bump into the last turn. I don't think it affected either of us, but I had just a moment of lag and your car jumped backwards. Sorry!

Here are the results:

In September, Formula E, the world's first fully-electric racing series series kicks off in China.

How about we get a Forza 5 version of the car at the same time, T10?

No worries, I felt bad that I was in the way. Yesterdays race was a lag trip in a half for me but I am glad I stuck it through.

Sorry to anyone that I happened to accidentally ran into, I was trying to stay out of the way after about halfway through the race.

I'm going to paint a Rocket Racoon livery this weekend, not sure what car to put it on, I'm open to suggestions. I need a Rocket Racoon car in my life.

Is that how you get tags? I always assumed you could just pick what you wanted when you get to a certain poster level!

Say something interesting/stupid, but usually stupid and if a mod is in the mood.

Actually I had a tag for a month before this one, the link in the "inspect your condom" is tied to a joke I was making to a female GAF member.
 
So thrustmaster announced that their shifter will come out at the end of August. But they said that the t3pa pedal set would be out by the end of May, but that wasnt for America. Then last month said its available through a link to amazon which said it would be 2-4 weeks to be in stock but has for the past week just said out of stock.

So with this in mind and the t300 wheel for ps4 coming out which uses the same base practically and the same accessories, god knows when I will get either of these damn things.

I have honestly been looking at that MadCatz wheel. Seems like it might be actually fairly decent for the price. Or am I crazy?

I'm developing a hatred of Silverstone, I'm finding it hard to be consistent on :/

Word man. Such a terrible course. I have been making muliplayer lobbies full of Expert AI using the Formula Ford so I can race them around the track. It helps me learn to better concentrate and see how the course feels with other cars/traffic.

Please Helios, I have a small request for FM6.

Currently, when we upgrade the transmissions to stage 3 'Racing Transmissions', the gearboxes sound and behave pretty much the same as stock transmission (H pattern) with faster shifts being the only benefit.
This would be fine for the first two trans upgrades(street,sport)

But, it would be nice to see any car (or at least most) that incorporates a stage 3 racing transmission upgrade to actually have a sequential racing gearbox installed. This would make the car sound and behave more like a car that was intended for racing.

Just check out your old pals over at Codies with GRID Autosport to see what I mean.
A Chevy Cruze for example has a standard H pattern box from factory. But in Grid, with the cars being modified for racing, the gearbox is a full sequential complete with straight cut gear whine and 'banging' of gears.
This extends to most cars in the game really..

Perhaps if you have time you can pass it along to the Turn 10 car geeks..
