I use my upgraded Omnis in Sports class races and the only car that I loose to is Racing Jester.
[QUOTE=Spydurr117;50732858]I ended up in a session with a trainer user who spawned a couple of the Rally Tampas.

They're fun to drive.[/QUOTE]
Drift Tampa can't even Drift.
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;50731473]I am sure if it would be that easy and painless, not many people would complain about this.[/QUOTE]It [i]is[/i] easy and painless but people always want custom on because they want their super fast awesome cars vs the middle-of-the-road cars you typically get in the race.
premium races should automatically have slipstream disabled imo.
[QUOTE=Lyokanthrope;50731620]Damned if you do damned if you don't, I guess.
I appreciate skilled players actually being able to win, but at the same time it sucks shit when some assholes just ram half the roster at the beginning of the race and 2 players just shoot ahead with no chance of catching up at all.[/QUOTE]
Psst. Non-contact races are a thing specifically to solve this problem.
Nine times out of ten, anyone who complains when you switch to non-contact rules is going to be someone who was planning to ram their way to victory. Genuinely skilled racers generally don't mind, and some even prefer it. Aggro racers will have to either suck it up or leave, meaning you aren't going to be competing against people who had no intent of playing fair anyway. Win-win.
racing? In gta?? Nahhh???

I don't understand the logic behind not including the non contact option in stunt races. Were they afraid it'd turn out too much like trackmania or what
[QUOTE=Everything;50733104]Psst. Non-contact races are a thing specifically to solve this problem.[/QUOTE]
Stunt races don't have Non-contact races as an option
It's ramming or go home
Every time I was host I kept messing with custom cars, slipstream, catchup, etc trying to make it fun or interesting. I couldn't find any correlation until I realized the other players are 100% of the problem. If you have a good lobby, options don't matter at all - bad lobby, no matter what you set you'll get rammed into the ocean in the first 10 seconds of East Coast, rammers will always find a way. TLDR anyone wanna do a FP stunts lobby?
Just saw the new cars.
Already saving money for the new Ocelot Lynx because im pretty sure it will take the spot as the best sport car.
And im probably gonna sell my Tampa in order to buy the Drift one.
Also, not sure if someone noticed before, but on the Racing Alley event screenshot, you can see a Buffalo S Sprunk on the screenshot, so im pretty sure it may come on the part 2 of the update.
[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;50732636]It's been a thing since GTA 4. Hats and certain helmets disappear in cars for clipping reasons. I've heard that the heist helmets stay on in cars but I haven't tested it myself.[/QUOTE]
Even right now when i play missions it removes my cap. Even better! Got an white race outfit + race helmet, but i cannot use the race helmet while in a car? Then what is it for then?! To show it only for the looks? It doesn't make sense at all. Race helmet must not dissapear when you are in any car.
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;50732782]I still can't believe how perfect everything looks in this picture. The lighting, the textures, everything is just right.[/QUOTE]
Everything looks amazing, but the roads are in too good of a condition. I can't believe roads anywhere near New England can be that [i]pretty[/i].

This will be a total non-issue once stunt race props become available in the creator August 2nd.
Uuuunless they lock them to a specific mode which also has non-contact banned, which would be baffling, but not totally out of the realm of possibility for Rockstar.

If you or anyone else are still up for it I am absolutely down. Had a pretty good lobby of 6 going for a while, then I wasn't the host anymore and tons of people joined and everything went to shit. Not to mention first person lock 4 laps on city loops, the track i already hate the most.

My character's hair clips through the top of some of the cars, I can only imagine how horrendous the clipping would be with a helmet.

I guess they watched too many YouTubers do unofficial stunt races and went "nah this looks fun all these people ramming into eachother who cares about non contact"
What makes it even worse is that some tracks have a tunnel with a small gap you gotta ramp through
So if you're racing for first, you either have to let them pass first, lose the race but go through without a ram, or contest for it and leave an asshole

For me, helmets stay on sometimes when I'm driving. I think it just depends on the car.

On a customs match, I loaded too slow to pick a car so it gave me my chrome Adder (been in storage for like a year). Through the race I kept accidentally bumping into people, sending them off the edge, flipping & exploding them in midair. Finished with a 10 second gap and everyone downvoted the job...

Real talk, I'm actually more excited to see what puzzle race makers will create with all this new stuff than I am for proper stunt races.

Bit of nonsense, since i even have 2 of the newest race cars, RE-7B and the Tropos Rallye. But can't wear my race helmet, is a bit stupid. But yeah i've heard somewhere that hats and helmets were bugged somehow.
I wonder what the news stories are like in Los Santos.
"Pacific Standard Bank robbed AGAIN"
"armored car kills 30 people"
"floating race track appears in the sky"

I do the Fleeca job almost as a daily chore just to make money.
"Police chief seen facepalming as Fleeca bank is successfully robbed for the exactly 50th time in just two months"
"Anonymous police officer suggests relocating Los Santos' police headquarters to neighbor repeatedly robbed Fleeca bank"
