    The grip levels are adjusted from year to year to reflect the condition of the track.

    So, account and/or friends list does actually appear to affect multiplayer stability. In main account, actually could see server list for the first time ever, but exit server list and renter would crash game everytime. Changed to alternate account with zero friends and can enter in and out of server list repeatedly with no crashing. Weird, but a possible workaround for now

    Does an alternate account affect how many stars you have for the track, it'd suck having to start the ratings all over again

    Yep, no track stars or ratings on my alternate, though don't need them to get into the free for all servers. I haven't bothered with the friends cull thing yet as about to get back into career mode offline and I'd also like to think this is a little bug that can be patched soon without too much effort, surely?

    I have just culled off ~190 "friends" and can now for the first time see servers and successfully join them without the game crashing. It wasn't easy to get down to 100 but it's good to have all the inactive accounts now removed.

    I'm happy to wait til they fix it. I am looking forward to racing people who are concerned about their ratings. Lost a bunch of points online through other racers f'wittery

    Looks like the issues I was having with the 'steer assist' was down to the ffb settings and clipping. Knocked down the gain slightly and it's helped. Still present in some corners though but I'm reading unless there's some patches there might not be more I can do for the moment.

    Enjoying this so far, but have only been going around in practice so I'll have to start getting my ratings up now.

    That's a good idea! :roflmao: I've got my friends list down to 150 now so I'll see how that goes, though if just doing free for all servers might be best to stick with alternate account anyway to preserve rating. They really need proper match making and/or private lobbies!

    Makes you wonder why this would be the case... why does it matter what amount of friends you have on your PS list vs the game working - what's going on in the background? Every time you go onto a track, it's reading all friends list, and if it's too big it causes the game to crash??

    it's because if you want to be a real racing driver, you can't be making friends

    I decided to start my 4 hour race at spa as part of completing the 'short' career mode. Here's some observations so far ( 1 hour in and paused for dinner)
    Eau Rouge isn't do able flat (with my lexus setup). I was taking it faster and faster til the first giant lose I had there resulted in a flat spotted front left....kept it outta the fence tho by some miracle. Flat spots get worse over time and they suck on low speed corners with the weight on them. Almost shook the wheel out of my hands on turn 1 by the end of the stint. Next observation, it is possible to put your old tyres back on with a 'change tyre' pitstop. Flat spotted tyre for two stints isn't pleasant and may cause an even bigger lose at eau rouge...probably will actually. "light' front damage costs a few more seconds per lap (on top of flat spot), very funny as night came on and the floppy front headlight wobbled around under braking but it was small consolation for losing a couple more places and a few seconds per lap. At this stage I wish i had read up on what the difference between a black dot against your tyres in the pit menu is compared to a white dot and what all the tyre set numbers actually mean.
    Anyway my drivers have all completed their mandatory stint now so the pressure is off to swap to the correct driver each stint. (the time is on 6x (its the 24hr in 4hr) so you have to complete a driver change within every 15 minutes)
    Luckily you can pause the race and save your progress and i'll probably be doing that at half way.

    before i started this race my career was at 89% so if you have any questions about the short career i can have a crack at answering them as i've probably made every mistake possible so far.

    learnings:
    84 laps of spa is a big arvo
    it seems you get 50 sets of tyres for the enduro, selecting a tyre set with a white dot is your next new set and a black dot is a set you've used already
    getting t-boned after lapping someone sux the big one
    hitting pit bollards and doing 40 seconds damage exiting the pits sux an even bigger one
    if you save and come back you'll get a bunch of invalid laps, i got an hours worth of invalid laps but maybe it was a glitch
    gained 7 SA and a bunch of other ratings even though i had a few crashes.
    it is worth 5% of career
    glad it's over

    4 hours! Top effort! :thumbsup: I'm really hoping the save/resume feature works, but seems to work for some and not others, so we shall see. (I'm still only at the Monza lambo night test, as restarted on hard/short setting)
