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..

Wasn't expecting to, but I like the R88 as much if not more than I like the PR4. Time will tell but she may be my go-to for tighter races. I know the data says different but I prefer the power the R88 has coming out of the corner.

 

Shame about the missing liveries. Really hoping there was something wrong and they're fixing them and not that they're holding them back for some... annoying reason.

^^ we've got so many variables now to play with.. just from some new wings. This is great, this is the future R*. 

Really hope there's some more (lots of) tasty open wheelers to come.

Just wondering if the no front wing option is a slight advantage to have with the R88. If there’s no front wing can it be damaged?

I have let out an audible 'Holy sh*t!' twice while driving this.

 

 

First was the top speed which seemed really quick. - Again when I used my boost, and the car literally shot up into a wheelie. Its a f*cking rocket!!!

 

Video footage coming in a bit.

Probably my 2nd ever visit to this forum only because I have a question

 

I'm making a race designed for F1 cars but i've just found I can't select the default car to be an F1 car, they don't appear under super or sports or whatever. Is this something that will change soon? Predictably since its the first day of release I can't find anything online about it

 

Also will other F1 cars be added to the game?

The F1 cars are categorised as open wheelers. I think we need to wait for an update to let us make races for the open wheelers.

These things would be a lot more fun if I could figure out how the hell to race them...

Anyone knows why the Liveries "Pisswasser Racing" and "Dusche Racing" is hidden now? Is there a way to unlock these two liveries?

I’d rather they fixed the wheelbase on the R88. And gave it ground-effect sidepods. And better liveries.

You'll get it. A few years ago I started playing other racing games like Driveclub and GT Sport and that taught me a lot about lines and cornering and it made racing in GTA a cakewalk.

 

My best advice for OWR is to worry most about not damaging the car, play it safe and use hard tires so you won't have to pit as often. As for assholes driving the opposite way, get on mic and try to get other racers to kick them. Hopefully when they hype dies down the trolls will move back to FR and other modes. So many poor sports and petulant children play this game and it's never more apparent than when a new racing mode comes out.

Only with a glitch, I guess. But I haven't tried it myself yet.

I don't think Livery Merging will work... one of the R88 we brought online yesterday had the Dusche Gold liveries and as soon as it was stored in MOC the livery vanished. This seems to be something where they changed something with Liveries where the game knows if you've unlocked it or not, it's not like other hidden liveries that we can get. Never seen this happen. It's like a Livery Blacklist.

 

**Edit: after moving it to the Garage from the MOC the Livery returned.

Sorry for the confusion. There is something about the MOC that made it disappear.

So both the Pisswasser and Dusche liveries aren't blacklisted, but just hidden instead?

 

Also, do the F1 cars handle different with regular wheels?

^^ I'm wondering if on "normal" wheels, they won't absorb the bumps as well, and therefore benefit from some curb boosting effect, and therefore go even faster??

Yep, they are just hidden at the moment... I got my car into my MOC and the Livery disappeared. After I made that post I called out a Faggio to push my R88 from the MOC to the garage and the Livery was back on it in the garage.. I haven't tried racing an F1 car with Normal F1 wheels so I can't do any comparisons but the amount of bumps on some of the tracks sends the car into huge revs like it's curb boosting with Bennys on it.. I know the F1 wheels can absorb bumps better so I wouldn't doubt there would be some numbers differences in lap times between them

I'm gonna run 3 of each for now, with different Aero set ups, and a chance to play with the liveries, all of which I've got problems with. I'll just have to use the ones I feel are closest, and try to ignore as much as possible things like the chassis/engine and tire manufacturers branding.. we could do with a white Chepalle seeing as they use it prominently in so many liveries.

It hasn't fallen off..

This was one of a few cars that would take off the nose wings at certain tracks for more top speed, able to do this due to the ground effect aero they had anyway which gave them massive grip.

I actually meant that I couldn't find where the races were on the map. I restarted the game and they popped up.

 

I've been playing Gran Turismo most of my life and don't need any help with the driving part. Thank you, though.

The individual races only started appearing on the map yesterday.
