If you have to stop for gas, it means you're pushing hard and not conserving, which chews up tires a lot more that someone who's no-stopping.
Gr4 is great for bumpin' and grinding, just like real TCR. I think it might be my favorite- but it's a toss-up with Gr3.
yes, the "real" simulator indeed. Again, Race C is so forced and convoluted. 
Does anyone have actual information from motorsport competitions and fuel mpg per different cars.Let's focus on that one sentence and really think about this. Dragon Trails Seaside is 3.26 miles long (5.21 KM for those not in the U.S.). Now in @sturk0167 example, he's using the Lancer (which from my research is only a GTS car, not a real one, similar to the GR4 Huracan) so I can't find how many gallons the gas tank is; but, the Cayman, which is a popular choice this week, according to Porsche, has a 21 gallon gas tank.
So 10 laps = 32.6 miles. So this means the Cayman is getting a whopping 1.55 miles per gallon in race C
Rant over.

I believe PD might be running a more arcade-like experience because not a lot of people will drive over 70 laps for a "casual" online racing session without having them experience the pitting strategy.

All this talk about real racing simulation, prompted me to look up the GT4 European Series regulations. There are hundreds of things in there that don't exist in GTS. I never thought of it as an accurate simulation of real racing.Let's focus on that one sentence and really think about this.

Not done online wise but I remember, in Forza Motorsports 1 and 2, a cut was taken from your winning wages whenever you had too much damage on your car.All this talk about real racing simulation, prompted me to look up the GT4 European Series regulations. There are hundreds of things in there that don't exist in GTS. I never thought of it as an accurate simulation of real racing.
I found one thing in the rule book that I guarantee would put an end to dirty driving. Obviously this real-life GT4 rule will never be added to the game, but it would be pretty funny it was.
Here it is:
19.5
Financial penalties issued under these regulations will be paid by cash or when possible Credit
Card (Mastercard / Visa / Amex ONLY plus additional transaction costs) to SRO Motorsports
Group, or his representative, which shall remain the sole beneficiary. SRO Motorsports Group
will donate this Financial penalty to a foundation. Cars will not be allowed to start the next
session unless issued financial penalties have been paid.
That wouldn't be a bad idea for losing Cr. after a race: Damage penalty. I understand that's what the CRB and the orange arrow are basically for, but deducting Cr would be cool too.That would be no big deal. I'm talking about someone who crashes into a bunch of people having to get up and go find his debit card if he wants to enter another race.
Maybe expand the concept of the driving etiquette and have a more serious group with people that have good standings and bar anyone with aggressive driving from entering those competitive events.
My first 3 races in Race C of the week in the F-Type Jaguar, and tales of missed chances.....
Race 1, started 8 and finished 6th, should've been more, but my tyres went away, and I just couldn't catch 4th and 5th in front of me...I pitted on lap 6 for fuel, but still had to manage it til the end, as it was only a splash 'n dash! But not bad for a first attempt, and learning how this race works with the fuel margin etc...View attachment 844661
Race 2, again started 8th, and got bumped down to last at turn 3, lap 1...Down to 19th place, so decided to stay out, and trundle around with no stop, boring as hell haha! 9th was the result!

Race 3, and started 4th this time around, and got up to second out of the turn 2/3 chicane....Then was pushing the leader hard, and on lap 3 started to feel more confident, and the video will show......But then........
If there's something that really annoys me, it's this kind of behaviour....God knows how they get an "S" rating!!, and sure it's been said here a million times already, but they didn't even get a penalty from it! I pitted straight after the foul, for fuel and tyres, came out last, and just drove my Hamster nuts off, and got 4th place, with the rammer finishing ahead of me in 3rd, there's justice for you.....

But anyway, on to the next races later, feeling like I'm understanding how Race C works now....Next race, I want a podium at least, but that depends on the other competitors, it's quite a wild bunch in these races this week.
I hate it when I beat my qualifying time while waiting for the race and then those spots I gained starting turns out to be the spots I lose in the race and end up losing DR. Thanks matchmaking machine.i hate when i beat my qualy time on a consistant basis in the race , but i cannot for the love of god reproduce those laps in qualy
I confronted him on his GT profile and this was his response:
We don't need to know about it as much as the people in the race do. Name and shame all you want in the pre/post race chats. I've seen lots of pre-race warnings from a driver that's warning everyone about another driver.You can, within the rules of the site, post a video of any incident/race that clearly shows the persons name in the video, you just can’t type that name into your post because it then becomes searchable, you can’t search for words that are held within a video though.
