Nah it actually means Ram 4 Money :p

I don't ram for money on my R4M account though. I do it for free.
 
I'm close to giving up on this. I've just lost 33 SR (and 2k+ DR) in one race because one guy kept hitting me and every time he hit me, I got a penalty! There was, of course, the one time when I eliminated him but that's beside the point.
 
Quite a bit of ramming at the NGP, mainly Meganes. I've been trying a few different cars on the slow slide to DR C, set a slow QT so I can get an idea of pace, plus I'm terrible at the series of corners after T1. Ended up mid pack in one race due to others shenanigans, quite a few missiles went screaming past me to take out the car ahead, I assume there was a bit history between them :lol:
Keeping SR isn't a problem so think I'll spend the week alternating between B & C races.
 
I think it's either balls out in something really quick with a one stop, or fuel save and hope people ahead pit.

I've just had the ABS issues. Don't forget to go out in the warmup people.
 
I gained 9 spots at race B, even though I was slowest driver in the race.

Initially, I had the #16 starting spot because I didn't qualify. Before the start, 7 people got disconnected.
So then I ended up beginning in the 9th spot. I should've practiced, because I was braking late everywhere.
I had a couple of solo crashes, and started the final lap about 8 or 9 seconds behind the 8th place car.
On the last lap someone quit, then another car drove into the pits before the finish line. I ended up barely beating him to the line.

So, I got from 16th to 7th while performing terribly. I guess, just keep racing. You never know what might happen.

*By the way, don't take the Pug VGT to that race. :yuck: :lol:
 
Race C is very good but you have always to keep an eye on your gas consumption and modulate the liniter to finish the 9 laps.
The main problem is that i drive roof cam and i don't have any rear miror to check the cars on my back . Also no radar because of gas map always on.

Why do mister PD put a rear view mirror only for bumper view ?? I hate this view , i only can drive seeing something of my car in front of me.

I feel like this.

But i like better this way.

I'm heading for a DR reset here. The penalty system rewards divebombers. You've literally got to drive off the track if you want to avoid collision penalties. Gone from DR A SR S to DR B SR C in three races.

Penalty system also highly rewards being rammed off at hairpins and/or chicanes on Race B.
 
First day of the week for this batch of races and none are really clicking with me. Then again, as of last night I now have a high DR B rating (almost to A) when I don't really belong there! I'm being matched up with significantly faster players and everyone's faster than me, yet here I am just trying my best not to ruin their race! :scared:

Did Race C this morning at the NGP; took the Cayman, started 18th on a full grid, short-shifted all the way throughout the race without touching the Fuel Map, finished 11th. Need to find a car that clicks with this event or I'll be skipping it this week; it doesn't help matters that NGP is one of my weakest courses of all time. Maybe I'll break out the trusty Jag, but I don't know how it sips fuel/eats tires.

Posted a QR with Race B but I haven't driven this course in so long. Posted a meh 1:36-ish time and struggled to keep myself on the tarmac during an actual race. Won't be long now before my DR decreases back to where it should belong.

The Clio is a lot of fun around Goodwood, I don’t mind this combo getting repeated. 28.4 so far, I think I can get into the 27’s if I can nail the final sector. :)

No racing for me today. :(
Will try B and C tomorrow.
Going to try them both on second account, then we'll see how they unfold.
Going to use Merc AMG for B, that's the best I found so far.
F-Type, RCF and Slophy or Porsche will be the Cars that I'll try for Race C tomorrow. :cool::scared:
Will try a no stopper and one where I pit for fuel.

Edit: Typos :rolleyes:
 
I’ve decided to use Race C this week as a testing bed for trialling different manufacturers. I need to sort out who I’m picking for the new season.

Did a low 2:04 in the Mustang, but feel there was a bit more in it.

Want to pick a manufacturer that isn’t one of the normal ones this time round.
 
The Jag is nice around NGP for Q, not sure how it will be in race, will probably use to much fuel. Sitting at 5.1 right now but I lost a bunch to my ghost in the final two corners, gonna try again here shortly. :)

Felt the same way when I first made it into DR A; it's just a matter of building confidence and consistency and putting in good qualifying laps.
 
After a week away from the Daily Race A, I need to find the rhythm, my best lap was 1: 28.790 but at other times with Clio in Goodwood I have managed 1: 28.418 maybe I can get close to that time, or better.
 
Tried a Race B. QT 1:35.212. Started 4th. Finished 12th.

Would have been a decent race if not for the dive bombers. All B/S grid. Around a 1 second gap top to bottom. My special brand of gas was not enough to keep divers away.
