New Leagues: C500 Street Kings | Spec Merc #33 BTCC | NASCAR | Porsche Supercars


September 11 through September 18

Use this thread to share tips, car suggestions, and experiences.

League leaderboards are ordered by points which accumulate from all your played sessions during the week.
Points per race = finish position inverted + bonus for finishing higher than players with a higher skill rating. NEW: quit/disconnect players are now counted in your race points; if you are in a lobby at cutoff time you can continue to race but points don’t accumulate. See the League Info thread or FAQ for explanation about skill rating and Division placement. Credit payouts for each division are awarded based on the leaderboard after the League has reached its end date.

See ManteoMax.com or KudosPrime.com or this thread for a list of cars by Division. Unless otherwise specified, Leagues use Damage=Cosmetic, Collisions=On, Tuning=Allowed, Upgrades=Allowed to the maximum of the specific class restriction. Cars must be currently configured to meet the lobby restriction to appear as available options in the Rent/Buy/My Cars lists, so the list of Rental cars may be partial or empty. You can change your own Assists by selecting your gamertag in the lobby.

From experience, the Merc needs tuning to be an enjoyable car as far as racing goes. I know the chances of this are slim, but is it possible that the Merc league gets a PI of say S750 with tuning allowed so we aren’t stuck understeering into the next country all week :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

C class S2000 league. Meh… Its been 3 times aleeady, can we pick a division ghat has more than one good car.

Spec league? Thought it meant that, all cars tuned the same. If 2 cars are travelling down a long straight, how is 1 car just screaming past? Pretty fake, if you ask me. This is a great game, but the multi-player is just horrible.

There are several factors though . What about corner exit. TCS? Manual with clutch? shift point?. Seems realistic to me

One of them has a few percent engine damage.

Its all about exit speed and assits. First corner on bathurst is a prime example. In the spec for gt lm I can catch and overtake someone from 3 or 4 car lengths simply because I use no abs so I get a better entry into the corner and I use Manuel wich gives me better exit speed along with a better line = a faster top end and a possibility of overtaking

They might have a low downforce tune on because they can handle that. If that’t the case, then that’s tough. They beat you because they put in more effort, that’s how it works.
Probably they just took a better line than you, got on the power earlier and exited the corner 20mph faster. Happens to me all the time when using the same tune as a really good player.
Multi payer is horrible when you’re losing, I can agree and empathise with that. lol

lol. if u like carmageddon, this is your game. not really racing, as surviving the carnage, is all that matters. lol.

spec leagues dont have tunes of any description so would be good to understand question before answering lol

You can tune your car in spec league, you just can’t add parts.
You can tune everything except the brakes.

I stand corrected, your right, you can tune, but the car reverts back to speck tune once your in the lobby.

So it is assists that make the difference, if you have them on or off.

I thought this to be true also, but in last nights #33 league lobby guys who sounded like they new what they were talking about, were discussing with each other that they had altered tyre pressure and gear ratios and as long as they didn’t add any parts this was OK. I thought even if you had done this, once you were in the lobby the car reverted to its stock un tampered with form.

It’s seems you don’t understand how to carry your speed as well as the next guy.

I would agree but now u havee doubting myself. Can anyone check the lobby settings next time there on it will be 4 hours b4 I get chance. The option force stock upgrades should be enabled

I wasn’t gunna bother with this league (front wheel drive rubbish) if u can tune the stock car that will be another reason to keep away

Off is faster than on in the a class but it’s not just assits. It’s probably more driver skill than anything.

Can I be demoted back to elite? There are so few people in pinnacle that it might as well not exist.

You have to lose intentionally
