I've been doing a lot of Daily Race C today (The Vantage one-make race at the Roval), it seems like doing a fuel-only pitstop is the fastest way to race, about 4 seconds quicker than taking tyres too, it also seemed like I was the only one to notice so my DR has shot up (so now I'm playing against people I have 0% chance of beating).

Interesting... How long does not taking tyres save then?
 
Ugh disconnected 2 races ago on entering the lobby (half the lobby got disconnected), this race I had to quit mid race due to child suddenly screaming. He's fine, nightmare. Not good for DR lol.

I got 2 wins on the Nurb after someone crashed into me repeatedly causing my SR to drop to 86. Matchmaking still does the same nonsense awarding you with pole after an SR drop. High risk races anyway with a full field of B/S to D/S behind, tons to lose.

I've been eying the C race yet that dented oval just looks ridiculous :)
 
Just had a race on where i was p1 on nordschleife and a 911 was behind me tap tap tapping on my rear bumper evwry time i braked for a corner and all of a sudden I start getting penalties that ended up at 50 seconds! Wtf is going on here and even worse be doesnt even have a red dot next to his name at the end

What DR are you and what is his? I have noticed as well that DR.B drivers seem to get away with bumping, while DR.A and DR.S get time penalties for slight taps. Matchmaking has been making things worse tonight as usual.
 
DrA SrB after monza gr1 the other day trying to get back to S. Didnt take much notice but I think he was B B

In the past couple races there has been a B/S driver with a good qualifying time starting in the midst of A/S drivers. He keeps getting away with bumping and pushing while the A/S drivers have to concede. It's very unbalanced atm. He just finished second. I guess he'll find out how it works when he reaches DR.A
 
Maintaining SR is tough. Only played 24hr yesterday, 2 orange SRs and its a red.

Had to farm SR on Race A coz i didn't want to loose DR A again by dropping down to SR C.

I was in a race that had a range of DR A to DR D, the D's ghosted more than the B and A's did, one D driver was intentionally trying to take out anyone near him and he ghosted through most cars but was still able to rear end cars though, I brake checked him and sent him away and I didn't get a penalty probably because he's a repeat offender (his DR/SR history on kudosprime sums it up).
 
Two days ago, I tried the Formula race of GT League, the first one; at Brands Hatch. All is off, TC 0. I didn't tune up the car, made fastest laps and stable but I couldn't win the race, the gap to car position 1 is too distant. I got bumped 1-3 times when I reached top 8 and 3. Then I tuned up the car to level 3 but kept the weight to 100% (increasing it makes the car unstable at cornering), still I couldn't win the race. Finished 2nd, again. Also, because I used cockpit view, I got dizzy when my car is close to the other cars. Formula car is the only one I don't complete yet at GT League. Today I will try it again. Or maybe PD should fix the AI in this session!? :confused:

Wrong thread, this is for the daily sport mode races.

I did two more races on the N24 today, one in the AMG (P5 to 3 to 14 (spun myself out twice) and one in the M6 (P7 to 4). Both saw me being bumped without me even noticing it resulting in 2 second penalties 🤬
Then to rescue my SR I hopped into the Vantage One-Make race, qualified 14th (P1-16 all withing 1 second), only stopped for fuel and found myself in P4 at the finish line. But again I got penalties for getting rearended. Sorry PD, I can‘t go full throttle through a corner and have to brake for it and maybe because of traffic earlier and more than it‘d be necessary when hotlapping...
 
It’s been happening to me since last Sunday...
Went from Dr 55000+ to 43000 only because the game disconnected me in about 8 races, I’m not even trying the weekend races this week.
I called the cable como y and they sent people to check it... optical fiber modem and PS4 wired to the modem... fast as before, have no problems with stream tv, Netflix and other online games with no problems of connection or lag...
just this game...
I’m not an expert of internet details or slang but what they told me is that this issue is mainly due to server location and distance to server plus distance from other players to server added to the amount of players using that server at the same time....

It is possible of course but I doubt it. I never have problems in the race (5 green bars, no disconnects), it is always when waiting for the others after matching.
I installed a SSD a few weeks ago, maybe there is something that it is loading faster for me and slower for others and then the game thinks it is a connection timeout if the others are loading the track much slower, dunno...

...and AGAIN I don‘t believe it...

But the title is "Daily Race" means that all races in GTS :D
 
AM Vulcan on Monza... I love the selection, if only the Vulcan wasn't the worst car to drive in the game! (In my opinion). Brakes are so bad!! :scared: This can only end in chaos...

Guys and fellow gr3 experts,

How does the AMG gt compares to the others in the class?

I am not a gr expert, but today I’ve seen mostly BMWs taking the win followed by some “outliers” like the viper.

Is the M6 then the go to car in this class?

You were asking for yesterday's Nurburgring 24h?

Well, I was driving it, GT3 '16 - bought it and straight to the fight, and it is/was good!



I had SLS '11 that I picked as their driver, but didn't tried it...

A great day on the N24, my last race was down to the line, layer cake was hunting me down and it got close..

What to say, BMW power! :)



Sad news for me, I was whole time thinking that today is Manufacturers McLaren F1 race at Suzuka, but it was yesterday.

Race A is MR2, race B is Vulcan
 
Despite a few rough experiences with penalties, Nurb 24h was a great success today. I love driving the Corvette through that track.

Tomorrow Bathurst! Gr.3 again, 8 laps, much better than one!
Monza for quick races, although is the Vulcan '16 quick? 4 laps isn't a lot for Monza.
And to avoid Tokyo central outer loop in the MR2 GTS for 5 laps.
 
Had fun on my NZ account in race C yesterday. Got shunted on penultimate corner on one race and dropped to 6th but kept it calm in my Jaaaaag and wafted by eventually on the pitstops. The Jaaaaag is really good on worn tyres but new boots and a splash on lap 12/13 for the win. Was racing mainly B's, might have been an A in the race, too.

I believe Monza in the Vulcan will be the worst for SR. The way it drives on such a heavy braking track is a terrible idea :p

Racing Hards just don't provide it near enough grip.

Ah a challenge. It can't be worse than the first time GR.1 featured on Monza. I went from 99 SR to 50 SR in a couple races! With the time penalties and bad brakes it might turn into slapstick racing.
 
Maybe i give Race B a try. Monza as Onemake could be ok, because everyone have the same breaking point.

Bathurst at Race C? No thanks.... way to much walls for panalty carnage.

No races for me to day, don’t like the look of any. Will finish this livery I started last night and some more campaign races
 
Ah sure, with the new penalties I will collect one year worth of penalties around Monza just by touching curbs...:scared:
 
FKAustria1911
again disconnected while waiting after matching... 3 races and 2 disconnects, nice going (and middle one with the driver I call „S clown“ who of course again pushed several people out, including myself...)

So he is behaving like before the update?! Oh man, what a mess.

And the power of a player that didn't get frustrated :-)
Because of that there is a fun story to tell.

I had another race, much like this, that dude was fast through the last 1/3 of the track, catching me fast, he also kept from doing stupid things, he did crash himself though.. But still fantastic stuff.
 
Daily Race B on Monza with the Vulcan... I somehow got a good qualifying time. This last race, I started at pole position. Great feeling, I can't remember the last time I started there!

And then in the first minute of racing, it felt like I was racing in GTA Online haha. Not mad tbh, the Vulcan is a handful.
I got slammed by someone losing control on the last turn before the start of a new lap and get a 3 second penalty. Thanks, I guess. Finished in 2nd place. I'll take it!
 
Gr3 Tips at Bathurst
===================

I found Aston Matin with TCS 0 is quite stable
Preserve the tires, don't over drive just keep your pace
Refuel at LAP 5 ( going 6th ) around 2.7 LAPS
Depends on condition whether to change tire or not ( I was struggling for the last 2 laps on older tires but manageable )
Build up speed before the Conrod Straight ( dont understeer, or too low gearing )
 
I don’t usually complain but now I have to...

The new starting line and count down is very weird...

First was in Yamagiwa Race C 2 days ago, for 3rd, 4th and 5th started right in the curve in first gear, giving a more than one second gap with 2nd place ... saw some accidents...

Today on race C in Mount Panorama starts right before the turn again for everybody.... it’s a mess, 1st and 2nd get all the others on the back...
1st race started in 2nd, was d counting on it neither the 1st and had to brake so I couldn’t hit him when he tried not to go to the grass, 3rd got me and got hit from behind too... I got 5 seconds penalty and we didn’t start the race yet...
2nd time I was already counting on hot and managed to pass 1st place as he probably wasn’t aware of this new system and went straight to the wall...
I thought was unfare because I crossed the line to start the race in first and should be him doing it!!!


Just a funny note on this second race... I finished in first... was actually first until pit, came out of the pit second, made a mistake on the top of the hill and let the 3rd player pass not to hit him while I was slower... I know him from previous races, not the cleanest high ranking driver...
This was lap 6, I kept a 1.5 to 2.0 second gap between him, first was 1 second ahead...
8th lap I was .5 seconds from him and he was right on top of first place... I kept the gap knowing that for sure he was playing his dirty game and both of them will have 1 or 2 seconds penalty...
In the big downhill straight he is in 1st... comes last turn, second place let’s me pass, he goes to the left trying to take some penalties, I crossed the line and he had +31 seconds penalties!! Starts to blame slower drivers in the race chat.... this is the thing I am liking on the new penalty system....

Question about using different accounts. Do you need to sign up separately for PSN, I.e. pay again?
