It has happened. 10,000 races milestone reached. Time for some statistics.
3rgVLCC.jpg

The 10,000 race was pretty uneventful. I finished 9th on the mountain in the Lexus. CRB, safe at 99 SR.

The amount of races I finished is different in game and on KP:
9,581 (game) / 9,593 (KP) races finished out of 10,000, 96% completion rate.
Just over 400 races unfinished due to random disconnects either by the GTS server, my crappy ISP or a total power failure, impatiently switching to the next race (quit to enter the other race with 1 minute to go), missing the start and getting timed out, pausing too long to answer the door / phone, simply quitting a hopeless room or quitting to lower DR.

Total days raced: 711 (including today)

Average SR: 94.1
SR S: 652 (91.7%)
SR A: 21 (2.95%)
SR B: 31 (4.36%)
SR C: 7 (0.98%)

Average DR: 28,307
DR A+: 7 (0.98%)
DR A: 339 (47.7%)
DR B: 304 (42.8%)
DR C: 25 (3.52%)
DR D: 35 (4.82%)

I never qualified on 4 out of the 5 tracks up there, hence they are up there. For the older tracks there's this chart:

Autopolis is a stain, just like BB raceway and Miyabi. I can't remember the last time Miyabi was on. I've had 44 races there and apparently the only track I can qualify better on than race. (Never raced it without qualifying)

On to the next 10,000 :cheers:

I'll be racing this on Sarthe tomorrow, see you all there!

Back to the mountain, but first breakfast. Totally forgot in that last push to reach 10,000 races :)

So you, like me, are not young.

Who knows the age of the other guy? He could be 13 or something. He could have gotten his rating BECAUSE of aggressive moves like that. You have no idea what's going on in that person's head. All I am saying is that the expectation that the other driver is going to do the right thing is misplaced. The example from your video, to me, seemed like it was a foregone conclusion. I don't know how the guys without rear view mirrors get through a race. If I did that, I'd never finish a race.

I was going to question the age of the GT-R driver earlier, as the need for revenge is much stronger when we are younger. I drive in chase cam without the mirror. I use the track map in the lower right & the time delta in the upper left to judge others in my vicinity. Due to the length of the C race, I started only saving the replay this week instead of the live race telemetry. I suppose I give other drivers too much credit for trying to drive like a driver & not like a police SWAT team trying to bust down the front door.

I took the evening off from GTS to spend some time in VR. Blood and Truth is pretty cool but VR still has a long way to go. Here I am flailing around with dual move controllers. I suck at pretty much everything :lol:

Fun game, same for Borderlands 2 with the aim controller.

Back to GTS tomorrow!

Sidenote: None of this is directed at you. Just general thoughts on the matter.

I really believe those of you using chase cam are doing yourselves a HUGE disservice when racing online. The track map/time delta your using is useless relative to having mirrors. With a rear view mirror I can see mayhem coming ages before you, I'm able to anticipate actions rather than simply reacting at the last second. Because that's all radar is good for, last second moments, only really useful for when a car is in your blind spot, but with mirrors that blind spot is tiny vs not having mirrors. For instance, the video where the guy divebombed NoStopN, NoStopN would have seen it coming with a rear view mirror.

I have my own opinions regarding chase cam...not worth getting into, so let's keep this simply about the lack of a rear view mirror. IMO it's a huge liability with online racing. You are effectively driving blind vs those of us with mirrors. I see this constantly with drivers (not directing this at you) who use chase cam and are CONSTANTLY complaining about "dive bombers" who weren't actually dive bombers at all, they got alongside prior to turn in, but the lead driver with chase cam didn't see the driver jump to the inside. Had they used a view with a rear mirror they would have seen the move coming/happening in real time and adjusted accordingly.

This issue also applies to those using hood cam. Honestly PD should give you a rear mirror just like with "bumper cam" because IMO hood cam is more realistic. But that's besides the point. Hood cam users, with the lack of a rear mirror are also a liability. I watch replays of drivers using both it and chase cam having to flip the rear view switch constantly, and whenever they are in a tight battle with a group, it's constantly flipping the rear view and blinding yourself to the front for a second...... which in racing is an eternity. In that split second of you looking behind you, someone in front could have started a slide, run wide, braked more than expected or earlier. And vice versa while looking forward you are blind to the action behind you.

With mirrors like on bumper/cockpit, we can view both in front and behind us simultaneously which is invaluable for online racing. Hitting a button to look back is inferior because it's a "snapshot" essentially, vs a continuous stream of information with a mirror. Most incidents online happen due to a lack of spatial awareness, and the lack of mirrors reduces ones spatial awareness.

Myself, I prefer cockpit. BUT this is entirely dependent on the car. The Huracan is USELESS due to a lack of any mirrors. There are so many screwed up cockpits, some I enjoy doing hot laps in, but would never consider for a race. But there are some really great cockpits, with a huge rear view mirror and even a full side mirror. I'm tellin ya..... having a full side mirror in a race is a big plus. While not the best side mirror, the 911 RSR has a partial side mirror and a excellent rear view screen on the dash. I absolutely love racing with this car because of this. For racing, because of the ability to see my side mirror, it also means I can see cars that are near my door live.... not dissimilar to the advantage of chase cam, though admittedly less. Still more than either bumper/hood can get. Combine side/rear mirror with radar and you have a ton of info. This is why my SR has been a solid S 99 for awhile now.

Some cockpits have a rear view mirror, but you can barely see it because PD are so strict on accuracy of the modeled interior. This is ludicrous. I say just give everyone the options for digital mirrors, both side and rear. Imagine if we could all turn on 3 mirrors to see what's around us. That plus full damage would create some really clean racing IMO.

I understand Kaz desire to try to limit any view from having a advantage over others. But that comes at the cost of more accidents online. Now while I find chase cam to be ridiculously unrealistic/arcadey......I would rather you have rear view mirrors than not, because i would rather you know I'm about to be on the inside than have you turn in blind. In tight racing, this will make for much cleaner racing. A lot of these "incidents" I don't believe to be intentional, they are due to a lack of information regarding cars around them. So Kaz.... while I get what your doing.... it's making it worse....think bigger picture buddy.

Once again PD bless us with there originality in this weeks daily race C with a regurgiatetion of gr1 at lemans with exact same settings as in September and june.

Anyways covered this race in september so il link that video although pretty sure mist people know the script for this one....hello Toyota ts050



Funnily enough this race popped up last time just after a world tour event.
 
Ok, so the Mountain was really good to me last week. I did 29 races there with I think more than 50% of them top 5 finishes. Repaired my DR rating something good - back up to a B rating right now.

Day 28 is last monday. No victory unfortunately, but still.

And at some point I tried switching from Automatic shifting to manual shifting. And it worked. So I guess, I will have permanently switched to manual shifting right now.

Didn't do Race A or C last week.

On to this weeks races. Hm - I really like RBR, but haven't found the best car yet. Tried the GTR, AMG, Huracan and Beetle - only managed a 1.31.922 so far, with the leaders being at least 2 seconds faster. Only tried qualifying so far, no race. Haven't tried Race A or C yet, but both look intriguing.
 
@Bivittavus88 I think you can also do a no stop on the R92Cp, if you ashort shift it at around 1/4 of rev limiter
and use a bit of fuel map 3 during drafting/ going above 330km/h

I'll probably do a run on the TS030 to see if I can keep up with top pack.
Currently sitting at 9 in the leaderboard, but I can improve, but maybe later i'll get shoved to the top 200

Cheers, mate :)

I need to get a few laps in with the Alpine VGT (eewww) to see if I can break into the top 1000 EMEA. Sarthe is a bit of a bogey track of mine. Probably not helped by my "VGT? Eww. LMP1 is where it's at" mentality, to this point :lol:

That's seriously impressive. Not just the 10,000(!?) races, but your stats considering you rarely set qualifying times. Your SR chart in particular proves that despite how unfair the penalty system can be, maintaining a high SR is in your own hands.

Well done to you sir, I am in awe.
