I didn't think about that. Where I race there is almost one make in Gr. 2, but Gr, 3 and 4 is always diverse all week long. I never see these one make races so I didn't think of it.That's why we have one make on dailies...
Better idea: they could even do a fantasy one (just name it something like Gran Turismo Stock Car) to avoid having to deal with licensing, and so we can make liveries for it by putting a ton of anime girls on i- This sounds like a terrible idea now.That's why they should give us some Nascars and some super speedways. There's only 3 manufacturers, one of which is Toyota, so that one should at least be easy to get.
BoP in real life racing can very much change on a track by track basis. Based on qualifying performance or performance in previous races the FIA can adjust the BoP as they see fit.I disagree. I think some cars should be better at certain tracks, while others on other tracks. As in real life. The problem is that PD keeps on putting the same tracks up.
I'd be going old school with it, like this:Better idea: they could even do a fantasy one (just name it something like Gran Turismo Stock Car) to avoid having to deal with licensing, and so we can make liveries for it by putting a ton of anime girls on i- This sounds like a terrible idea now.
Is it possible to go back to D/D? I'm playing race A this week but thanks to this penalty system I went from A/S to B/C. I think I hate the penalty system more than dirty drivers.
Did my FIA and had half hour to have a go in that Nissan GR2. Knocked 0.4s off my time already, the car is loads easier to control but just have to get used to braking slightly earlier for the corners and it's not quite as quick though the fast corners in my opinion, the NSX is a demon through the Esses. Will have a run tomorrow and hopefully drop to a low 28 and get into some races (although Race C could be right up my street!)
Race B has gotten fast. Afternoon race, 3 A+ drivers, mostly A/S, one A/S dipping into the 1:27 laps. I'm closing in on DR.A, 27.9K DR, door number 13. I've only once gotten under 1:30, 1:28 seems unreachable with tcs and ds4. However finishing 7th in these strong lobbies means good DR gains. These A+ guys like to take the bus stop flat out, doesn't always work out, thanks for the DR! I lift slightly to make sure the car is on the right track. Risk vs reward. Reward is a few tenths at most, risk is back to last plus a good chance of screwing up the race for the car behind you.
4 A+ in the next race. +400 DR for finishing 7th again. The bus stop always delivers!
Ooh, it let me enter the race slot selection this time, it's the Fittipaldi at night in the rain on Tokyo for the FIA race. I'm so in!!! I guess I can simply sit in the pits not to qualify, Tokyo from the back is the only way! This is going to be epic, 15 laps, 309 kph top speed, got to start braking at the 200 marker.
You may have been giving up some DR to lower ranked cars ahead of you.I'm still figuring out the DR scoring, but don't post it again, I know how the chart works. Just had a run of strange finishes in points the other night. Finished 7th in a lobby of B/S drivers like me and lost 500 or so points. Finish 6th in a lobby with 7 drivers A or A+ and gain 200? I know I can lose that much by being highest ranked B in a race, but I don't think I was. Confusing part is not gaining hardly anything beating plenty of people I know out rank me by a big margin. I was hugging at 20k so know I should have been picking up some big points for that finish.
Oh well. Did get to stay at 20k for now and managed to have some clean races so getting to enjoy it a bit more as the week goes. Still scratching my head around how I did so well last few weeks by cleaning up points at a wet Tokyo as well as GR 1 at Sarthe and Fuji and then drive around so badly in the pack at St. Croix and Seaside. Time to try and practice more.
Decided to try Race A again with my improved QT: 2:09.1. Mistakes were made.
A lot more TT Cups this time.
Race 1: Punted at T1 and dropped 4 positions to 8th. Later got bashed into the side at the last hairpin. Finished 7th.
Race 2: Purposely draft bumped twice on the straight. I slowed down and he slowed down to try and keep behind me (no idea what is wrong with people) so he could continue bumping. Funny thing is he hit the wall for 5 seconds at T1. Sweet justice. On the same lap, I got punted into at T2, guy got 4 seconds and draft bumper went pass me. Passed them both while they were serving penalties (that felt good) to finish 4th.
I think I give up with this combo, way too dirty even at SR 99.
Race A qually.
My go to GR4 FF car is the VW. The long straight prolly favours the Audi, but I don’t get on with it.
I’ve done a 2:10.9xx.
Anyone on here been using the VW?
I think it handles the corners nice. You can place it where you want it.
Fia isn't on here until 6pm, any tips for strategy / car? Perhaps I'll give it a try since it's a nice long race this time.
Did mine in the Aston, S-H-S (5-8-5), my softs were wrecked if I tried six lap stints but the hards, I could have carried on to the end quite easily. Cars better on tyres have tended to do 7-7-4 or 7-4-7 from what I've seen. Personally I think the GT86 is strong, Viper also, Ferrari won my race.
But with the long nature of it and the Death Chicane/worn tyres combo, it's a fun race in my opinion with plenty of strategy options
*In fact ignore those strats! Pretty much anything is on the table if you want to try it
I think this corner is more dangerous than the bus stop in GR.2. I've seen it taking out many people including me. And always so dramatic![]()
I'm convinced people that are in the lead for daily races are either god tier gamers or their cars run twice as fast as everybody else's. It's impossible to close the gap and catch them. Makes races really unfun, especially if there are idiots on the grid, which is another nail in the coffin of driver/sportsmanship rating systems - they are literally useless
Personally, I can't recall ever binning it there in any class. I typically go too fast into the next turn & crash at that spot.
Just watch any of my winning videos. My cars feel like they have concrete in the trunk.![]()
Be like Brad Pitt. Get good at counter-punching. 👍Something really has to be done with these cheats, they just spoil it for others all the time....... :/
