I've noticed that all the close racing so far is in tin-tops. What about the open wheelers?
Is there such thing as a close FO8 race? When I say close, I mean wheel to wheel.
Best I've had is a few laps pretty much side to side with someone in an FOX. If I remember correctly I fudged it... after a while racing I always end up overestimating the capabilities of that car.
here's a replay file of a very close battle. After many frustrating races i'd worked my way up to 2nd place and battled for 5 whole laps. :P winning by only a few feet.
FZR vs FxR. i dont think were were more than 1 second apart during the race. :P
Here's another clip from same server I think. Some nice battle between finnish drivers. Lap 2 may be little boring but lap 3 starts pretty close. Also I made a stupid error after lap 4 thinking the race was over and stepped off the throttle - BING - one more lap to go and pressure builds
I think you wanted open wheel battlings here but hope this will do in the meanwhile
vs Todd Wasson
Some more of the same kinda stuff from As3, interesting bit starts from the beginning of lap 3
vs Turbo-Love
Driven just moments ago, great race. Watch for my PB on lap 3
Unfortunate lag crash ended the magnificent battle on the last lap, but remains an outstanding drive
those were 2 pretty good battles one thing though ; if you have FZR and you're being chased by an FXR, you should do what i did in my race :P. If its fzr vs fzr its not of much use though. and of course only for use if you're just defending a position (guy in front of you is too far ahead)
SHHH!!!!!! They're not going to give me a chance now LoL..
The FXR doesn't stand a chance against especially the FZR if they dodge, XRR is not too bad to drive against because it accelerates out of the corners a bit slower than the FZR (I don't see too many ppl who manage to keep the turbo boost high in slow corners)
Only prob with following ppl who dodge is that I run with so little downforce I generally go skidding all over the place even on straights :P
There was a close call after T1 in one of the two above, almost drifted too far.
Still, good fun to drive against faster cars, gives u a kick trying to keep up with them. I always drive better in such races than when hotlapping
Here's something different. FE green, five laps. I'm in an LX6 and the other three guys are in XF GTR. Great race that was back and forth up until the last lap. I feel bad for El_Bitcho. He was clearly faster than the rest of us, but just couldn't get by.
And now for something completely different: UF 1000 @ Kyoto Oval. Drafting all the way through the 3 lap race, going 4 wide, looking left and right more than forward. Must be the closest and most random racing combo. Great fun!
One thrilling fight between 2 FZR over 5 laps on ASNation. At the last lap in front of the chicane the other decided to break early (realy fair, because i think he was in front and i was going to break for him, but he breaked much earlier so i took the win). Normally we both drove 1.43.xx but the fight made us much slower. Have fun. http://rapidshare.de/files/7999441/super.mpr.html
I've had some really nice races online. Wheel to wheel, lap after lap. But I always forget to save them.
What follows in not a hotlap, race, spectacular crash, wrecker, or weird occurance. It's a bit different. It's me, alone, offline, in "get to the end of the race" mode. It's something I'm proud of. This one isn't terribly consistant, but it will do.

It's my replay.. and if you look, everyone lags. My connection was really terrible that day. Think I must of reconnected to dSRC Battles #2 alone over 20 times :\ Good last race against you too
Here's a replay from a Figure 8 track that I whipped up. Keep your eye on CoopZ. I collide with him on about the fourth or fifth lap and send his car flying nearly out of the park! This track is just plain awesome with 8 guys on it. By about the 5th lap people start spreading out and the X becomes a killing zone.
Some widget action, MRT @ SO2R. Battle between Hyperactive and GM AC!D for the first three laps. Too bad there was a touch that ended a race. Nice fair battlings!
PS. I can still hear the MRT sound in my head
PS. Is there any way to cut the replay? I mean this has at least 2 mins additional stuff after the finish...
Here's one pretty fast, clean, close and hard race between 3 FXO's at the front on AS2 from start to finish. Other races from that night had more spectacular moves but this one was the closest as a whole. Enjoy.
Excellent combination for racing, I didn't see it posted here so far.
