I think that was just for rally passengers. My actual view is high and medium closeness. Yep, in my opinion this is the best setting for racing. Allows you to still see other cars behind you, whats in front of you better(because high camera) and its close enough to the car to make those hard to pull off pole cuts easier. Someone feel free to correct me but pretty much every top driver uses these settings for NoDo races. Before NoDo I used the furthest back view so I could prepare for pit maneuvers. In NoDo races this isnt something you should ever have to defend against so it pretty much makes that setting worthless imo. Closest view is just too close. You are liable to pit yourself on someone else's car and not even realize they were there until its far too late. I use the farthest camera setting. Spacial awareness is everyting, in my opinion. You just can't have enough of it. I don't think I have any problems with tight maneuvers due to that. I also tilt the camera so I can see behind hills or blind corners, so that way I have more reach. Just my two cents... |

Thats actually explains why Ive heard you say corner cuts that are really easy and simple are risky. Or it might be that I suck... I can do the first cut on LSGP 99% of the time and I always go for it. I'm not so good with the second one, that's why I only go for it if I feel brave or I need it. You know me, I don't push unless I have to. Also your close camera might be the reason behind you complaining about getting wrecked so much. Maybe I wasn't having so many problems with GT1 cars because I was able to see them from greater distance and take precautions. |

Maybe I wasn't having so many problems with GT1 cars because I was able to see them from greater distance and take precautions. Nope thats pretty much the result of playing on a connection 1000's of miles away. GT1 cars can not even touch me on their screen and I can give them 4 car lengths of space and it still doesnt matter. As you will see in last weeks endurance highlights broughy doesnt even touch me but on my screen it looked like he deliberately pitted me on a high speed turn and drove off. On CCGP I came to a stop to let seans car by me and again it looked like he pitted me, driving into the side of my car for about 2 seconds before his car teleported back onto the track in a way that indicated he never was near me. Thats just a couple instances off the top of my head but everyday its a battle with lag. Malice always commented that I tend to get hit by people a lot more than others and Im starting to understand why. Im playing with only UK and EU people outside of Twilicane and Crazyman. So naturally every single race I do within NoDo Im at an extreme disadvantage. Wish there were more Americans to race with. |

Is there a projected season two of this series? If so I'd be really interested in joining. That's a good question actually, and probably hard to answer right now with people splitting off to various next gen consoles (or not). Will Broughy1322 do 4 endurance races back to back, or will the fatigue be too real.... More than likely season 2 will be only next gen. |

I have run a few laps and i am in the 5:30s. Thats kind of what I guessed it could do. I said 5:30 should be doable in skype. Just basing it on what the penumbra could do. |

Regnomo has stepped up and will replace you. Now if I can just make the race or not get disconnected, we're golden! (Or straw brown, if you prefer
