Race has been fantastic this evening. I’ve been lucky to have a 5 crb streak, running from last.
It’s just such a fantastic race for so many reasons...
I have been running the default tcs and brake balance and the 86 is fantastic to drive imo. The tcs isn’t intrusive at all and if you are driving well it doesn’t hinder you at all.
I will say I’ve raced a ton lately and 95-98 percent of the drivers I’m racing are slower because of having it off, not only that, they have a harder time with penalties with all their wheelspin and upset cars, unable to hold the racing line.
On race A imo you need to get that 86 to “take a set” in those turns by controlled braking on entry then getting on throttle with the nose down to level the car and then when it’s stable hold it on the floor.
The line is critical there, you gotta hit those apexes and take advantage of the banking to do well. It’s fantastically fun and challenging and the time of day is gorgeous too.
From behind you have to be patient and take what the cars ahead give. It’s not a track to stuff it in there. If you chill out and have fun and be fair it’s a blast! Toyota has great systems, watch what happens here with aids defeated...
I’m not telling anyone here (experienced players) to do anything but what they like, but for those who might be lurking, don’t mess with the defaults on the cars, just improve your driving. If tcs is activating too much you need to practice smoothing things out and get on the line. (If you wanna race better or at least get less pens.
Wheelspin doesn’t accelerate the car as much as traction.
I know most people posting here are beyond this, but I’m sure less experienced people check out these threads also.
Basically if you can hold a good line you are ahead of minimum 60-70 percent of players.
(Writing this after a lot of races lately with d to lower b dr folks)
You’d be surprised what patience brings in online racing.
Let the race develop a bit people will make mistakes and things will open up, patience, breath relax lol
I think disdain for tcs must come from past generations of games, games I never played.
Other titles are different. Gts tcs works well. Dr2 differs. I run nothing in that...Bit it’s rally so...The fast way around the tracks is smooth for me and doing as little on the controls as possible. It’s easier.
Again, a lot of folks here are very very experienced, so opinions differ, and more power to ya if you’re faster without it I guess, but to me it makes everything more fun. I like racing close and to me a mistake could mean a trip to time out if I get a pen TCS gives me that confidence.
I see so many spins online and outta control slides at d to b dr.
Anyways
Race A is the one for me this week and usually I kinda avoid street cars, but this is a good one, especially on a no qual.
Cheers
