"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[05XR8]

First race, No qualy Monday. Oh, boy. The Supra was barely out accelerating the SLophy. GUess its extra power in the latest BOP helps.

2nd race. RC F felt nice & smooth. "Where's the beef?!". 4th gear. That's where the beef is. 👍

One and done. Man, some dude at the back in a DBR9. I was all the way left from the green light. GAve him the corner. I'm way left thru the corner and corner exit. STILL mangaes to tap me nearly off. That dude is all over the place. wagging the tail. Sawing the car across the track. Knocks someone off and I barely make it by.
Started on the RH. Watched the top two to see when they pit. Slapped on the RMs Lap10. Was able to jump a spot and catch two NSXs that had to serve penalties. Also grabbed a spot from an AMG on the last lap.

Im guessing race C is one make GTR cup?

No the board (and likely race) is littered with Huracans, I tried to knock some off with the Vantage but I'll be out of the top ten soon once more people turn up, no doubt using the Huracan. Thing is an alien could easily top the EMEA leaderboard right now in the Vantage and likely other cars too, which we need before this race turns into a Huracan one make race.

The hurracan eats tires like nothing else so the more people on those the more happy I will be. Fast qualifier does not equal fast race car

Huracan for Quali but probably something else for the race

True, so I wonder what car they'll all race with after using this to qualify.

This should not be possible. I hope it's fixed for the next game.

Try the Citroen for the race.

I'm going to race from the back I think, so will try the Vantage 1st, if it's rubbish or I get board I'll try this afterwards. 👍

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I will go either DB9r or Mustang.

Even better, your grid position qualifying lap should only be from the entry period for your race, people can spend all week setting a better time if they want, but that only affects the leaderboard, would make people think more about consistent laps, and get rid of the one-lap wonders from the front of the race.

This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

GT Sport Daily Races: Globetrotting GTs and Alsatian Alfa

This article was published by Andrew Evans (@Famine) on June 8th, 2020 in the Gran Turismo Sport category.

 

[Lost Sheltie]

Porsche and AMG should be good for race pace. I managed a 20:07 in the beetle (probably knock a second or so off for bad strategy on my part), so I think that is competitive. Still think the GTR should be good in the hands of the top drivers, but too difficult for me without lots of practice.

 

[roamingbard13]

I'm going to run Race C from the back here in a bit, and I plan to start on hards. How many laps are y'all getting out of the mediums? Do I need to run 5 or 6 laps on the hards?

 

[Andy_EVO432]

5 should be enough. I'm not very good, but had no problem with the medium at the end of the race.

 

[Marron]

Race C has many missiles. They didn't get much penalty. Are their SR correct?

 

[The_Tullster]

Are their SR correct?

No, because there's issues with the penalty system. Not much we can do about it except report the issues and hope (in vain) that PD will do something useful about it.

This is one reason why I think in some ways the old proper daily races was better than the current weekly ‘daily’ race system. You had much less time to practice and didn’t have to put in tonnes of hours of lapping.

I like the idea of the FIA race system you have mentioned though.

 

[RussRobit]

Also I don't understand. The first few dailies of the week are loaded with A+ drivers then they all disappear for the next slot. What gives?

Just the way matching works. There isn't always enough players for perfect matching.

Track guide for Laguna Seca



Note: Yes it's on different tyres as it's from a few weeks ago but the track guide points out a lot of markers on each corner so you can pick out your preferred brake marker for your preferred car

Thanks for break down! As always;
Saves hundreds of hours of trial and error lol
Despite expecting an awesome video, I’m constantly impressed
And thanks for the detail on every corner, a driver from every skill level can come away with something

Looking forward to first online race at Laguna!

Suspect if I stay on the track, I gain positions! Lol
Suspect that’s tricky in traffic....

Goodluck this week folks!

 

[Jwptexas]

We did Fuji gr3 back in April on Hards I believe for race B, think I put down 1:39:800 on hard tires in the GT. Looking forward to seeing what I can get after work today on Mediums.

Can't make the same mistake doing the daily too much, forgot to practice damn FIA race!

Definitely staying away from race B this week another FF cup looks like.

 

[RussRobit]

I agree. You should have to use the same car that you set your qually time with.

 

[Timm Sheehan]

. . . K' targets . . .

I have seen these "K Speed Score" on kudosprime but don't see any improvement in my score for the near future. Good luck with your quest.

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I agree. You should have to use the same car that you set your qually time with.

I disagree. That would lock people to use only one car all week, unless they can better their Qt. And if they do they can't use the slower car any more

 

[x5abotagex86]

I am surprised that you only have one qualifying time for the race.

Think each you use car should have its own qualifying time....

With the way it works, i agree with RacingGrandpa

 

[ASH32]

Just got relegated to Sr A, penalty system is stupid, if it blames anyone it gets the wrong person.

Think two stops is faster but not when you can't get the space on track. Too many no qualy on to, too many faster cars stuck behind slower ones at the start.

Sr.A race was even worse and I lost more Sr, even when cars knock me off I get shortcut penalties, if it does not give me a penalty for the collision.

 

[x5abotagex86]

Eek! Lost some DR/SR for accidentally joining daily race b while walking the dog... hope I didn’t cause too much ruckus!

 

[roamingbard13]

I love Fuji, with the chicane, with pretty much every car I've had to race there.

I ran 2 races with the Viper from the back.

P11>P2 for the first race. No real drama. @RacingGrandpa started from the back with me, and it seemed like he had a decent race.

I went 5h/7m. I didn't do any warm-up laps and I've never driven the Viper I don't think. I was feeling in the rhythm by the end. I did take a limits penalty at the chicane passing someone, but I ended up with the CRB anyways. This week's race is worth 17 SR it looks like.

P14>P4 in the second race. I took a 1 second penalty for getting creamed L1T1, and then worked my way back up from last to take two limits penalties (once at T2, and another at the chicane). This time, it's because I was avoiding murdering the driver in front of me who hit the brakes too early. Ended up wasting the first couple laps of mediums getting back through the traffic.

I'm going to go throw down some qualifying laps on the main account in a bit. K' says I need to run 1:39.8 to make my score go higher. Since I was running those with fuel and tire wear, shouldn't be a problem.

This. You should be gridded based on the best time you have with the car you've entered.

Yes, thank you, a pleasure sharing the track with you. I could tell by your lines in the start you wanted to build SR as much as me.
Apart from the Brazilian dude that pushed me off in last turn, last lap to get 5th it was a pretty un-eventfull race. But I am only judging cars to see which one I will qualify with.

Aww thanks so much for the compliments! You can use everything in this video this week, might have to brake a tiny bit earlier in a couple of spots but this is the way I design the guides, pick out many spots you can brake and take your pick !

Great to hear in the race this afternoon someone getting P2 with direct help from the video!

 

[ASH32]

Sr B now, still no one wants to race clean and it's all my fault, even when a Russian punted me to stop me from winning, at least they did not win either though.

I've never known it be this dirty.

Just got rammed into the wall, all over 5th place, what is wrong with these people, will post some videos soon and loads for the penalty thread later on.
