Here is a short clip of the last few laps of the Interlagos Race C. This is when I love this game ! This battle was so much fun and basically lasted most of the race, but here are the last few laps.
ENJOY

 

[Deadpool]

Wow some BS tonight in race C. Two GTMX drivers acting as a team not challenging each other till the last lap and going two wide in corners in the laps prior when you get close. It’s absurd, final lap after he was dirty in turn 1 when I clearly outbraked him, I did a forceful shunt in the last hairpin. No penalty thankfully and he dropped to 6th.

Such blatant BS.

I've been playing Wreckfest for the last week and really enjoying it, so I only today started putting legitimate effort into improving my time at Tokyo. I hazard a guess that I am not the only one who has been playing Wreckfest a lot given that my best lap of 1:31.782 is ranked 22nd worldwide and second in the Americas region.

 

[Deadpool]

And rage quit. Wow that was some BS penalties got 5sec for a guy turning in on me and going off. Then back group with wreckfest idiots.

It's a battle between the AE86 Levin and the AE86 Trueno for Race A!

See? PD need to stop teasing and give us these upgrades!!!!!!

Quick strategy guide for this weeks daily race C. Gr2 at autopolis

Fuel x 3

No issues on fuel. I'm sure many will be pleased to hear this. Rev away to your hearts content.

Tyres x 13, Hard & Mediums

Mediums are about 1 second a lap quicker than hards. Crossover where hards become quicker than meds is about lap 5 so not worth it. Tyre wear is severe and laptimes drop off about 0.5 a lap on the mediums. Hards fare better on drop off not to extent worth using

Non stop

Simply not competitive due to the new shorter pit time. Tyre wear even on hards means laptimes will drop off by 4 seconds by lap 11. Pitstop loss in terms off laptime is only 7-8 seconds.

1 stop medium/medium

Probably the best strategy stopping once on lap 6. Laptime drop off over each stint is about 2.5 seconds. Tyre grip on cornering feels reasonably throughout stint with drop off in laptime being down to traction and braking performance degrading. The undercut stopping on lap 5 will be huge but tyres will be in trouble at end of 2nd stint.

2 stop medium/medium/medium

Due to the update and now shorter pitstop loss along with the big drop off in laptime the 2 stop strat is quite close to the 1 stop and only 2-3 seconds slower overall in clean air. Laptime drop off is about 1.5 seconds over each stint and you have the benefit of good tyres race long. Disadvantage is that you are constantly in traffic on a track that's difficult to pass on.

Conclusion

It's hard to see anything other than a 1 stop on mediums working here. The decision will be to stop on lap 5,6 or 7 each with is own advantages and disadvantages. Personally I'm going to give 2 stopping a go just to see what happens.

Added a little video outlining the above

Sardegna B II is fantastic! I tried it in Arcade mode since I've never driven it before but it was actually surprised by how nice this track is. Technical and not easy at all. Will give it a shot a couple of times this week.

 

[05XR8]

Quit Race A on the 2nd lap. 193hp and the suspension is stock. Might as well run the 86/BR-Z cup. Sorry, but boring for me.

Change of plans for Race B. Using the M6 twins, AMG GT3 and RC F '17. Leaving out the "old" GT3 cars and the "GTE" rides as well. Leaving the standard liveries too. Don't think I've raced like that for a good while.

I'll probably buy the '16 GT-R GT500. Used the RC F religiously. Just a change up this time.

good skills 👍
the last time i remember racing Gr2 was at Fuji and i always used to prefer getting an extra lap on the first stint to give a stronger finish - but maybe the new pit stop times will negate that a little... we'll soon find out!

 

[RacingGrandpa]

Two race A, down 4k DR, SR down to 90. A true blood sport.....

 

[05XR8]

Race B 👎


Race C - Two stop. Just need to be ahead of traffic after the first stop. Better qualy should help.

The GT-R feel slidey. Where the RC F is planted braking and trailbraking, the GT-R slides like an MR. Still, was pretty quick.

Edit: Dropped from a 38.xxx to 36.620. 0.6 off the top 10.

Thank you so much for this...
I have very limited time to play the game and it's so nice to set off knowing the viable strategies....

Thanks again, really appreciate it.

I never tried it before either. Drove 6 laps in time trial to see how it was and it's very good, but not easily learned.
I got a 1:26 as best but there's a long way to go before I will feel comfortable to overtake on that track.

 

[Deadpool]

After the first 2 races of Interlagos it was smooth sailing and had some great battles. Started 2nd in each race.

Ended up 2nd (BS tag team) , rage quit, 1st,1st,1st.

I agree! I surely will take some time to get used to it and also get the max out of the track. There are some really lovely cornersections which are hard to get good. One can easily loose time here. I think this track I'll take it conservative and simple grab points by doing nothing too courageous

 

[05XR8]

Started 4th and got jumped by the 3rd placed NSX, right at pit exit of my 2nd pit stop. It defended real well from both of us in the GT-Rs. 1st place no-stopped.

 

[serlemke]

on race C, are the non meta cars (motul autech, au toms, raybrig nsx) any competitive? they got that huge bump in on of the last updates, they should be litlle better.

I didn't really get on with it the other way around, but by all accounts it's very different going in reverse so maybe I'll have a dabble.

Need a @Mistah_MCA lap guide please

To do 20.00 flat no stopping is seriously impressive. If they did a 1.41(which is quickest first lap iv seen)opening lap they would have to average a 1.39.9 over the other 11 laps. Given the tyre wear that's some serious tyre management.

Could you have been mistaken?

He did indeed stop(lap 6 RM/RM). I looked at the replay, that player's lap times, twice a 1:37! 3 seconds quicker than me. Averaged 1:39s.

I like B II - except the first corner. It's fast and has a good flow. My favourite is the last sector .

Thanks for checking.

I thought that time was a bit of a stretch on the no stop.

They are pretty quick though

Create a rain racing account. 👍

First time I wished for a 'dislike' button.

Multiple accounts ruined this game.

Let go of the ego and just race.

A friendly PSA people:

Hard wire your PS4's

You always get 4 green bars and never get dropped...

Not always. I'm hardwired and usually end up 3 yellow in dailies - I'm in Australia and servers are in Japan for my region. On the other hand, going WiFi is a one red bar slideshow. I agree that everyone should be hardwired though

It's Alvarez's Australian Shadow-Realm alter-ego!

Or a disciple to the cause at any rate.

Not that the R4M cause was required on this occasion! All he was ramming out of the way was the air in front of his car...

 

[Pigems]

Happy Monday Everyone! I had a go at the Levin this morning around Fuji, got it down to a 2:03.1 so far, this is a really fun combo! Great laps @Mistah_MCA @QC YALUM and @iGoFast !! GTP is taking up the top 4 spots as of right now, Great Job Fellas!

 

[The_Tullster]

Lots of laps needed before I'm confident of not screwing up other driver's races on Sardegna, but I might give my only Gr.2 car (RC-F) a run at Autopolis.
