:cheers: looking forward to it :)

I think it is personally. Lots of people disagreeing though.. weird. As you will see on the thread below, I've had excellent races in the past two evenings... 7 of 8 races with clean race bonus! No unfair penalties etc.. and only one race with orange SR flag (which was correct)

I guess I (or we?) had the fortune of not having anyone bump or crash to our cars. Until I get a penalty myself, I can't really judge for full the new system yet

All I see is a steady climb ;)
Eventually your DR will rise slower than before, but that's just DR doing its thing. As long as you're consistently rising up I don't think you've reached your limit yet :cheers:

I have been hit though, several times...

And I did hit someone intentionally, and was correctly awarded an orange SR marker and 3 second penalty.

Maybe the penalty system isn't as bad as they say it is then :D
I'll wait and see until I get a penalty (I hope not)
 
Oh, GR1. Monza, one of my favorites. It's gonna be a fun night. I wonder if more people will now finish without penalties and no more habitually cutting the second part of the chicanes. An accident free T1 is possible although I've only seen it twice so far. Perhaps it will just be a parking lot right after the chicane :)

It's all about strategy, you can shake it up or just run with that. Just like mine I just done this one 30 minutes ago, this happen cause I spin out in first chicane.

If I not shake that to 3seconds I'll lose so that's my target and I did it.

With old penalty system this one is easy job but current penalty system this one is really challenging

I got to DR A!

And a great evening of clean and fair racing saw me with 2 streaks of 3 clean races (only ruined by a guy being far too aggressive into T1 on BB, using me as a barrier to make the corner, so I tapped him back and got a penalty :() There were several contacts in most of the races but (aside from the one I mentioned) none my fault and the system recognised that. Very happy.

Oh, also saw @FUNanywhere in a Yamagiwa race :gtpflag:


Is it not the new Impreza then?





Amazing :lol:

Whats your psn id?

Imagine you driving off to a 10 second gap and then giving the car to the worst crash kid in the lobby only to completely wreck your result.
GTA‘s rally races are also some sort of co-op races which never ever work out, either your co-driver doesn‘t know what to do or your driver is too dumb to get the directions you‘re giving 🤬

It sounds awesome in theory but will turn out terrible, unless you can only compete in these races with a friend who also is online or a random player of your selection -> Teammate-Tinder :lol:

What I had in mind was a system like Rocket League where you are forming a "party" with a friend before matching and then get matched together as a team.

I actually did some of the long daily races with a friend by changing seats during pit stop. That was fun!

Only problem was, during our first pit stop, he pressed X to choose tires and stupid me, thinking he didn't do so, pressed X again, effectively choosing "do not refuel". :D
The other races went fine.
 
What a fantastic three races are behind me!



No luck in first, fan-tastic second and "taking down" some goliaths in third!


Now I'm on very edge of DR B -> A

But, what a races, that is important to me, not numbers...
 
Today i thought i give Alsace a try. But... oh man, i still have no 🤬 clue how to drive this track...:rolleyes:

I unfortunately found that out the next race after my last post :(
Race A. I was second when I got a penalty for accidentally bumping onto first. The pemalty was pretty reasonable, and I like how I can't scrub it anymore at T1. What I did to scrub most of it off is ny coasting just before the braking zone and I'll brake later than usual. I can scrub .2-.3 seconds on heavy braking zones with this method

Oh, and 3rd is a long way behind so no worries about me blocking other people's lines :)
 
Im driving the Gr.1 at Monza tonight and I have had some great fun races. One new thing for me: One of the big red barriers from the second chicane was sitting on the track just before Lesmo turn and I hit it and it was not good. Strangely enough, on the replay it is not visible, just that the car is jerking ...
Very strange, so keep an eye out for that after the stampede have been trough "Variante de la Roggia".
 
I'm liking the new penalty adjustments, did some race B (WRX GrB is so fun to drive), one race not a single person received a penalty and there was barely any touching other than a bit of trading paint in a couple corners but boy races are more competitive this way.
 
There must be something in the air, that's not allowing me to succeed!

I were just feeling that something bad ll happen, but something else was pushing me to do that race or two and go to rest (last night ofc) and awake (now) as a A S driver...

But look what happened to me in that fourth attempt (all streamed) for DR A (min 20) :




Instead of "hat trick", my DR even lowered, I finished as quitter, something I hate the most (alongside betrayers)!

Still can't belive, this happened to me first time, and what a moment it picked!

Finally reach DR A, big thanks to PD for bring new SR system. But after one race in DR A I started feel what other say about strict SR system on DR A.
But as long as all can adapt with new system I think everybody can have *clean race.

Yay Nurb 24h, Booh 1 lap, wth.
17 laps on the infield. If the penalties are as strict as the first time that's going to be fun!

Monza was great today. I only had trouble at T1 in 2 out of 9 races. My DR is shooting up, at the highest level now it's ever been, a bit over 40K. So much better without punters. However in my last race the guy behind me could not drive, rammed me twice. First time wasn't entirely his fault as two numbskulls were crawling through Ascari. Second time, no excuse. I was already a little late on the brakes as I didn't trust him, still punted. Unfortunately I also got 5 sec penalty, cost me 2 places. He got 10 for that and a red rating at the end, deserved. I escaped with blue and 4 places gained.



It starts with the car in front of me messing up right after the countdown. I have to slow down which causes 3 of us to hurtle to the chicane together. The car in front of me brakes early, I take the apex (at 0:27), he drives into me, 1 sec penalty. Then the car behind me takes advantage and dives into me in the second part... Oh well drive on with 1 sec. The second car that hit me brakes too late for the next chicane, spot easily retaken.

Notice Mr Blinky behind, blinks at every corner, frigging annoying. The race before he was behind me, constantly playing with his lights until he disappeared in the gravel.

Next part at 1:09 in lap 5, I have to slow down for the blockade of the cars in front. The car behind me doesn't pay attention, yet by dumb luck just before he hits a gap opens up and he punts me through. Thanks I guess, +2 sec penalty though.

3rd incident at 1:29, I'm in 4th, the car that punted me is behind me again, same spot. He brakes too late, sends me off road. +5 sec, lost 2 places. Finished 6th.

Oh well, the benefits outweigh these kinds of misfortune. It's a night and day difference with how GR.1 on Monza was before the changes.

Ahahah I knew it another blue thing race.

It’s going to be the new theme just like alsace and the understeering rally road car

Nurb is going to be amazing, hopefully if I set a good qualifying time no one will be able to pass with the new penalty system

It's going to be hard dodging cars serving penalties though! Good for the car in pole anyway :)

I’ve just been completing GT League the last few days and yesterday I did the TT race on the Nurb24h, it was impossible to finish it clean. Good practice for today though

I already did two races this morning and look how it looks:



Still no DR A, now, by still remembering what happened to me last night, I lost will.

Btw, I'm I only one having more trouble with GP than Nordschleife?
