we decided on them because the cars feel better with them on and it takes some skill to actually drive with them on, not as much as comfort tyres, softs let you get away with slightly more but the racing tyres just feel too grippy.

Next week ill not touch anyone, move out of the way for people, and basically go really slow so u cant complain.....and i guarantee someone will still complain that i crashed into them

Half the time its your lot being as bad as me.....and u no it

I dont think its blame webbo day. You was seen to deliberatly hit people. You even admit it yourself, by saying you gave out nudges you was given.

The nudges you were given were probably accidental, and by you then nudging them back have got yourself a bad name.

I dont want to see anyone get banned from racing with us, its a fun nights racing, and unless you have other groups you race with, you will not get a decent big race with decent people.

However, if people are going to deliberatly nudge each other, i cannot see the point in having them play, as it spoils it.

I think you probably realise your mistakes, take it on board, and dont go out of your way to nudge people, and enjoy the racing every week

Taken it on board already....i appologised yesterday as i see my mistake....was a bit too aggressive

Ant - use the R2 button for accelerator. It gives much much more adjustment over the limited travel X button

i use the r2 button for accelerator and r1 for the brake, it makes it far more manageable in delivery of both

Now im guessing that is because when you play offline, you have all the aids on, like traction control, abs, skid recovery, active steer etc

All of there are turned off when we drive online.....you just need to practice with the aids off mate

Also have you got the customisable springs? There were some settings posted in this thread the other day to start you off

That might me why then mate....if you try the one chris set up for you then you might find it drives a bit better

To be honest the first time i took my mx5 out it was shocking, but got it set up alright this time, and we going ok for a while until i came into some bother lol

4 hours and 213 laps later of Tsukuba my MX5 now has 340 miles and 202bhp

I got a bit bored out there and had a huge lead, so decided to do a few tests as I had heard that fuel simulation wasn't actually in the game.

My lap times during the race were about 1 minute 4s and 1 minute 5s on fresh tyres. So when my fuel got really low I put fresh tyres on, lap times were still 1 minute 5s, so pitted again, full tank and fresh tyres, and my lap times were still 1 minute 5s!

So yea, it seems fuel simulation is no such thing in GT5

, bit disappointing really.
