Really pleased with the response and the consensus is you lot want more endurance races I will of course oblige in due course I am really liking the idea of warrener and schafter race like lol I have been looking for a schafter for ages now. I heard you need to wait for simeon to put it in the wanted cars and go around near the golf. Is there a better method? I generally see them after I am done doing rooftop rumble in the vine wood hills. They always seem to spawn for me like that. Although I have had one since the initial mission with my second character because it took me so long to find one with my first character. Once you have one, I think you will see them everywhere. Irony at its best. Unrelated: it is interesting to see how many people hate motorcycle racing.

i already own a schafter, nice car, though if you still haven't found it yet i probably couldn't help, they always say its better to look in solo/inv sessions, besides the obvious reasons, i bought mine though i think, but have seen many around in random sessions
edit: i don't hate motorcycle races, but what irks me is when people spin you out, makes me wish there was knock people offbike option for those who race clean, if some one is trying to spin you, jk

Could you lend me your schafter in a session when you have time. I will drive around looking for one then blow your car up at the end so it does not get impounded by another player.

edit: i don't hate motorcycle races, but what irks me is when people spin you out, makes me wish there was knock people offbike option for those who race clean, if some one is trying to spin you, jk With Motorbike races (and plane races as well), I find it's best to have the Non-Contact option on. This way, no one hits you and you can truly see who are the great motorbike racers! Depends whom you're racing with, as well. Very few but some people know how to pass right without careening you off a cliff or into a wall. But, we're all human and are bound to make mistakes. Practice makes perfect!

It hasn't finished processing yet but here's the link for when it's done. youtu.be/gUvZpqFto_UBehold! My deadly driving skills, including crashing into sign posts, missing checkpoints, falling off the edge, buckling under pressure, and being first... to be lapped! Thanks to Smitveedub for hosting this really fun event, and to all the participants. I look forward to future events and I aim to vastly improve my abilities thanks to Broughy and the whole NoDo community.

See you in the next race if i get in.

It's taking a lot longer to process, but it'll be done in 17 minutes.

Thanks for sharing your video! North Loop is such a great track, I really like the common road parts when you have the quicker and the slower cars on the start/finish road, one turns left for a new lap, the other goes straight on for the second half of the track, it is really nice to see, and very interesting to race.

Any tips on my driving? I know the basics of racing lines and mistakes aside was I aggressive enough? I've since gone on the track multiple times on my own in other cars and got almost perfect laps, at least how I felt. Maybe it was because I was tired that night.

Any tips on my driving? I know the basics of racing lines and mistakes aside was I aggressive enough? I've since gone on the track multiple times on my own in other cars and got almost perfect laps, at least how I felt. Maybe it was because I was tired that night. I'm only 10 minutes in, but I do see little things you can improve on and they're all obvious things. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Missing turns and missing checkpoints. Eats up too much time. 2. Braking too much. Instead of braking when going into a corner, let your foot off the gas (er, rather let your finger off the R2 button) and coast into the turn. This can easily shave a whole second off your time. In a race with 30 turns, you're saving 30 seconds! Take 30 seconds X 10 laps, and that's 300 seconds or five minutes faster that you could be. It's nuts! 3. Getting in a pile up with people. Whenever you're in with a group of people (as crazy as this is gonna sound upcoming) try and distance yourself. You'll either want to pull a Lupaciađź’• and get in front of them as soon as humanly possible or stay in the back of the pack. Someone is bound to hit somebody (whether intentional or accidental) and if you're ahead, you'll already be gone. If you're behind them, you'll be able to go past the pile-up and drive along gleefully. 4. Drive in a straight line as often as you can. When you're driving in a straight line, you're going to go the fastest that your car can go. The second you let your foot off the accelerator (or again finger off of R2) or turn the wheel even slightly (moving the left analog stick), you're losing precious time and in races like these it really can come down to being a couple seconds faster than your opponent. 5. Finally, don't pull a CantDrive55Andy and roughly about 45 seconds into the video you put up have someone hit your rear end and go careening off the mountain XD _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Whenever you're behind someone in these types of races, it can literally take a whole lap or sometimes longer until you can get closer to another racer. It can be very frustrating whenever you're in the back of the pack, but you've just got to keep fighting and moving forward to get a good spot on the podium. I, too, am guilty of making mistakes above. I'd went from 9th place to 12th to 10th.
