Started race C with Sr99, ended with Sr99. Leader of race changed few times, but all leaders finished with blue S. I guess it depends on people.

Race B is more fun though

I label myself a GT4/Gr.4/TCR driver. GT3 isn't one of my favorites, but I race it, as it's the most balanced class.

You either use an MR or FR car. Obvious advantages and disadvantages of each model, on different circuits and conditions. I know Gr.3 are the bread & butter for this game. Rightfully so, if we look at GT3 around the globe(or across, if your a flat planet believer).

In saying that, Race B is just not exciting. The forward layout is way better. The recent FIA Manufacturers event at Lago GP should have been the Daily.

PD should an enduro week. Just make all three races tyre/fuel wear and see what happens.
 
So I had a drunken cry the other night about GT Sport. Got a reset right down to D/E after over 200 days of at least B plus. Put a few hours in over the past day or two, easily managed to get back up to B/S including 2 FIA victories. All for that to be undone in a single dirty race A.

Can’t really be arsed with it anymore to be honest. Penalty system has somehow managed to get even worse without even an update, you try to do a clean race but then a slight brush from an overtaking car gives you a 7 second penalty? Nope, I’m out.

Bought F1 2019 tonight for £15, maybe the physics and gameplay won’t be as good but it might bring back a little bit of pride and enjoyment in these crappy times.

23 year relationship with GT at a close, thank you!

There is a positive here, you can go from DR D to DR B in less than 10 races once the pens are sorted and you come back.

Yeah that is true, although I just don’t think I can be bothered with it anymore.

Used to come home from work, grind up the DR a few hundred/thousand and get a bit of satisfaction. I was mid 40K for a while, just shy of 200 wins now basically back to the bottom - I recover and then it gets undone in one race. It’s the inconsistency of the penalty system, you don’t know if a slight rub by someone else is going to be fine or will you end up with a massive penalty, half my time I spent squinting my eyes waiting for the red bar to come up...

on another note, tried F1 2019 tonight and....god it was awful to get used to on a controller!

Are there any other driving games out there with similar physics to GT?!

Inside! Stay on the inside!

I tried. Got caught between 2 guys who ran off and bounced back in. Got sandwiched but no penalty. Also had a moment where someone braked away before the marker in turn 1 with me all over their bumper. I dove inside and braked to make the turn, with 3/4 of my car ahead, and on the exit of the turn they turn into me and get 7 seconds. Yeah, ended in a punt at turn 2 even though I tried evasive action. The penalties don't slow you down much here at all, just eat your SR.:dopey:

And race A. Actually so much potential for fun here if you don't mind kamikaze drivers and a 🤬 penalty system rearranging the field every lap.
Yeah, 1 race A and SR from 68 to 42. Need a race C I can reset on next week. This is seriously the week the SR died.

I know the month isn’t over yet, but that’s still seems like a fairly steep drop off.

Today's manu event was Daily Race B a couple of months back. Guess PD doesn't want to spoil us too much.

It seems bad to like that post but I definitely think it is showing some major dissatisfaction with the offerings lately. Between heavily recycled races or cars and the lottery style penalty system it will be driving lots of people offline. When it is like this week I can find it hard to get excited to get punted. I think in about 8 race A I have made it through turn 1 once. I won't touch it with my main account as I still harbor failed dreams of being DR A once before I cut the shackles loose. Race C is almost as bad, just 10 minutes longer of the same thing.

Personally, I've liked at least one offering in dailies over the last 3-4 weeks. The penalties, the stupid, hair tearing out PENALTIES!!!! Get a clue PD.
 
3 CRB in a row at Race B.
It is day and night better than race C. Highly recommend!

got divebombed only once, but that was for a win, so no hard feelings.

Make a true damage system with car to destroy all over and stop this stupid penalty mode....

Good point.
However slight contact often is enough to send victim off track. No true damage would occur on pusher’s car. And in real racing penalty would be the way to provide feedback.

and in real racing penalties get applied wrong as often as applied correctly. Part of the game

But I don't think this should be part of the game(from my FIA Manu race). I wondered how this player got that penalty. It was a potential win taken away. I won the race, but this player had better tyre wear and was quicker than me and was way ahead of me at this stage(I'm in 4th place).
 
First race trying to recover an S SR and got 2 4 second penalties for no reason and a 7 second for being dive-bombed from stupidly far back and them in ending up in the gravel. AHHHHHHHHH. It's like racing against 19 Maldonados/Taki Inoue's, even in A/S lobbies
