If I'm not mistaken, this is the first race B with cars above GR3. Lap times will be competitive but should be really fun!
Certain sections tend to turn some drivers to crap and flush them out...?Is it shaped like a toilet or you think it's a crap track?

First in a long time for sure. And at least they've brought it back to 5 laps. They had cut a lap off Daily B races and by the last four races format Dragon Trail would have been down to a 4 lap race. With GR 2 cars this would have left us loads of time to practice our T1 technique Wreckfest between Daily Races.
Anyhoo, I've gotta race B in order to show these babies off.

I think it was Bidet because you had to clean your behind every time you ran it in race@05XR8 mentioned "Bidet" in a post and I had to ask why it was called that. The joke just ran to me calling the straight after it "The Drain Pipe". Well, once you start naming sectors of a track after parts of a toilet it'd be just rude not to do the whole thing.![]()
Found my sled for St. C- my beloved Rc F. Certainly not the fastest, but I love it. Stable, good brakes, and sounds like a Mad Max movie.
That's the one downer with race B this week: I can't say there's a GR3 car I hate driving more than the GTR.I've settled on the RCZ for now for race B, because
A. It's not the GT-R (can't stand it from long before it was the meta)
B. It doesn't get unsettled when avoiding mess ups or stalling GT-Rs like the Huracan and Ferrari
C. It's actually quite fast through the second half.
Anyway, I'll probably switch to another car again soon. Race em all.
Superb consistency, well done.View attachment 856876
I feel like I'm getting the hang of this circuit
I've never thought much of my consistency, but there we have it!
This was my quali session after 3 races around 3am this morning. Incidentally, I clocked my PB 2.08.85 in the session after this one and managed to get my first win on this week's races.

I found the R8 feels nice around there, especially the last sector. But it's painfully slow in speed compared to the GTR in straight line speed.
The second of those is the one where you got pushed into a black hole at turn 1 whilst I escaped. All because of 0.002s difference in qualifying.
Supra (most recommended by everyone not using the GT-R) & Ferrari (recommended by me and I'm crap so don't puch much money on it) - my best is in the Ferrari at 2:10:2 but I can't race it. I am .3 secs behind that time in the GT-R which I do race. By that logic you should be 9.4 in the Ferrari.
@RacingGrandpa we'll have to get a map done up and edit the names onto the sectors.![]()
Just tried the Ferrari in quail and was pleasantly surprised as although it wasn't the best track for it it's actually drivable now in a consistent manor, what have they done with it?
I'm sure plenty of people will explain it better and in more detail, but for simplicity :Well ***, with my new time the game is putting me in P7 at the start. So much more pressure lol, and the GT-Rs ahead are impossible to catch up to. Did 3 races this morning, lost 2 positions in the first one, 1 in the second and kept the same place in the last one.
My DR went way up somehow after this. I can't explain it. I thought it took only how many positions you gained during races as reference.
It's not how many places you gain, it's where you finish relative to other drivers taking into account their DR relative to yours. If the finishing positions are the same, it doesn't matter if you started in pole or last, you'll get the same DR up.Well ***, with my new time the game is putting me in P7 at the start.

Now, I guess this is because I run in the lower classes, where the cars aren't the deciding factor, but both the AMG and the Porsche can hang with the GT-R if in slipstream. Even overtake, and the great thing is that there's always another GT-R ahead to slipstream.Yeah the RCZ can't keep up with the GTR either when coming out of a turn right on the bumper of a GT-R. The GT-R simply pulls away under perfect slipstream conditions. Even a better corner exit doesn't help on the straight. You can pass them coming out of the fast esses or when they go a bit wide on the final turn.
GTR is a fast in, mess up corner (cause you really should brake earlier in it), accelerate away car. Not fun to drive and annoying to race against.
Superb consistency, well done.
Oh, yeah. No doubt.TCS 2 is costing you a chunk of time. A/T a bit, too.
15 laps of Tsukuba in a Japanese K car with 20x tyre wear. Admit it, you love it![]()
The first thing I thought, was that Gr.2 cars will have too much speed for the bus stop.GR.2 bus stop lol.
As a guy who uses an on/off switch for his throttleI feel like my issue is heavy feet, i just can't seem to be "gental" enough with the racing cars

Don't anyone judge me but I actually keep this to hand as it's a subject that crops up every so often.
This is the formula used to calculate how much DR you gain or lose. As already mentioned, it's all down to your finishing position in comparison to the DR of everyone else's finishing position.
For every car you finish in front of you gain:
80 - ((Player DR - Rival DR))/500)DR
For every car you finish behind, you lose:
80 + ((Player DR - Rival DR))/500)DR
