Ocelot R88 Appreciation Thread

I hope this at least makes the casino podium tomorrow, if it's not released alongside the PR4. After driving both in a bunch of modded OWR on PS4, the R88 is easily my favorite, even stock. It's way snappier in my experience although seems slower on the straights. The R88 has better liveries too IMO, can wait to get it and apply the Air Emu livery with non metallic paint.

The playlist I was using last night has already been deleted. Just search on social club with keywords OW, F1, and set upload timeframe to this week. If you can't find any then at least the R* created ones will be out tomorrow, here's hoping they're good and that the creator won't be far behind. They've been pretty on top of deleting the OW races I've found, and I'm surprised they haven't just banned the person whose been uploading them..

Here's a little table for ya'll...

I think Rockstar missed out Index 15 for the "Large Rectangular Wing" on the R88, hence the value being 1.00 instead of something like 1.75.

I'm being far from original with this and I'm gonna go for a more Lotus 79 look, but it'll do for now.

Amazing vehicle, but too expensive  for me.

 

I will wait until this gets on the casino podium.

I decided to do some quick testing with different builds (high traction/low speed, high speed/low traction, mid/mid, etc.) and found that the best build in every case is High speed/low traction. The amount of top speed lost between ht/ls and hs/lt seems to be over 5mph. The cars already have so much traction that no track justifies that loss in top speed. Even with the most technical of tracks (Vinewood hills), you can full speed the entire track except 90 degree turns, with the lowest traction build possible. Not even the highest traction build can make it around one of those 90 degree turns so there's no reason to take the loss to top speed. I'd imagine everyone is going to start using the same build, eventually.

That would be kind of lame tbh.

 

Racing the same car all the time would turn boring real fast.

It would, which is why I very strongly disagree with them adding hidden coding to car parts once again. I don't see any point in attempting a serious racing sim in GTAO, when all the true car stats are buried in the game coding and they just keep adding hidden coding on top of it. The more they do this, the more datamining happens to discover the META. This results is everything looking the same, save for color and such. This is just my personal feelings tho.

If you lose the front wing you have more chance of steering a cruise ship round corners.

Have someone already noticed, that this car is missing a few liveries? Dusche Racing and Pisswasser Racing liveries are missing. There are only nine liveries, instead of eleven. Too bad, because I can't finish my Lotus 78 inspired build, which requires Pisswasser Racing livery.

I knew it!

 

And yeah, it's quite odd, you select the "Liveries" section in LSC and the game quickly hides them for some reason.

Yeah. Also, it still shows a yellow star next to the "Liveries" selection, even after checking all available liveries in it.

Yes, they removed it with a background update that went live a few days ago.

Let me guess, they will be available once the car is in the casino podium, and the one on the podium will be sporting the Pisswasser Racing livery.

That would be a Dusche move; pardon the pun. My guess is they are going to be log-in rewards.

What primary did you use for this? When I use gold or bronze, even with non metallic paint I'm getting a metallic glint with those two colors..

F1 @  3:03 

 

Seriously.. I know I'm a hip hop/reggae kind of guy but this is one of the best tunes ever.

Like two songs in one aswell.. both soundtracks to my childhood.

 

 

Had to re-post here.. it's just too good.

 

F1 is here guys! Never thought I'd see the day in GTA.

You can remove that glint if you buy a metallic color and set the pearl to black. (Or do the old LSC pearl glitch with a classic color.)

 

Classic Gold is just Straw Brown with Straw Brown pearl. Metallic Gold is its own color.

 

BTW, how do you like the Progen tee?

^Thank you! That damn Progen tshirt is my favorite part about today and thats factoring in what an A1 addition these cars and races are.

 

Having a hard time finding a downforce config I like for the R88. Might just have to buy another and another PR4 as well so I can have the best of both worlds for each car. I'm cash flush and I already own everything else, might as well. 

 

Rockstar did a PHENOMENAL job with these cars. Hopefully they don't wait too long to add more tracks as well as the creator update to make them ourselves.
