Dodge 7,265 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Well I dont think I'm in the "you know who you are class", but I'm no Rev, or DC89 either. So I think I fall into class 2.

JustHatched 12,123 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I would be class 3. Always in the back. Dodge, I would say you would go class 1, I've seen you make those guys earn it. 2 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I appreciate the kind words, maybe a good Class 2. Making them earn the win is different than beating them for it.

LN-MLB 2,583 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'll claim a lower class 2...somewhere near the "F" section, preferably Rum, I feel you are much more adept at racing than I am. I'd put you very close to that Rev and DC class. I'm probably lower class two myself.

I've seen you run very well...often. I wouldn't negate your skills below mine. I think, for me personally, that I have good nights of playing, not necessarily good races. There are days that I'm spot on, and many more in which my bumper is magically attracted to EVERYTHING.

revbouncer 1,431 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Here's my racing tip Power and grip go hand in hand. you can use your power to get around corners (providing you slowed down enough in the 1st place) but obviously too much power & you lose grip. This is even more true in front wheel drives. 2 Quote Rev's Races Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1359-this-thing-called-racing/page/5/#findComment-25575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN-MLB 2,583 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks, Rum. Well, I think when I first joined the crew, I was definitely in class 3, but I believe I have made some improvements. I know what you mean though; there are also days when I do well, and others when I'm DNFing every other race. I honestly don't mind when it happens--racing is now probably my favorite element of the game, and I just enjoy the overall experience--whether I finish or not. On another note though, I used to think of myself as being ok at TDM, but I have seen a serious decline there. Unlike when I lose at racing, it actually frustrates me in a sense. Oh well, practice is good, and like I've said, I feel like I've learned a lot from my fellow crew members. Rev, solid tips as always--you've actually taught me a lot during our races, and I cannot thank you enough for that. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1359-this-thing-called-racing/page/5/#findComment-25576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey 1,680 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 When I get home from work today I'm going to study this thread.

ssracingn2 935 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Just going slower around the track missing obstacles in the way and slowly improving your times is the way to get better. Don't try to race the people race the track. Remember there a lot of times slower is faster. 5 Quote http://www.gta-stats.com/player/image/medium_1.units_0.platI_1.plat_2/custom.stats_races_ratio.stats_dm_ratio.crime_kills_players_headshots.crime_kdr_players.other_vehicles_speed/ssracingn2.jpg Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1359-this-thing-called-racing/page/5/#findComment-25629 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgemanBear 29 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Have been enjoying reading the back posts on this thread but didn't see any advice on vehicle choice. As we'll all have seen there's plenty on the web about "the best in class" vehicles and tonnes of info on stats etc but as someone mentioned previously it massively depends on your driving style. As a new player I was constantly looking at what the race winner was driving and testing those cars out gave me a really good idea of the handling of each car and how it suited my specific style. Characteristics that I like in a car are: Able to deal with changes in elevation Solid acceleration Good weight transfer Recoverable (If the back steps out on a corner) A good racer will be able to take on all comers in a vehicle their comfortable in, have you nailed the ones you like in each class yet Nightmare?
