What happen:crazy::confused:
Click to expand...
I can't take a turn without someone divebombimg me. Its absolutely ridiculous. One tap and booom I'm down 12 SR for the race with a 10sec penalty and they get almost no penalty. I've never had it this rough since I started playing.
Now that I'm back to DR B though I haven't got any penalties. Wierd. The system must blame the higher DR driver all the time:confused:

That first big drop off around day 58 was tokyo last week. Then I spent all week getting back to SR S in time for the update....ugh... Climbing through these lower ranks is torture

@TheGeologist I'll bet your algorithm wouldn't have predicted this :yuck::lol:

EDIT: this is a totally different game at DR B. Bumps don't give outrageous penalties ( if you get one at all) I haven't had an SR drop since the DR reset and my races have not even cleaned up. These assymetrical rules are just dumb as ****. How can it be fair to be matched with a grid of lower rank players all playing by different rules than you. DR B is much more enjoyable. Maybe this reset was just a blessing in disguise

Venster, here is my Dr chart (bar 2-11) yesterday.
Started at S/S. Disaster race led me to A/B.
From 3-7, straight 5 victories in a row raced as A/B and A/A. You can see the Dr point gained per game was extremely low (below 200). So frustrated at that point.:nervous::scared::boggled:

Started as A/S in the next 4 races (8-11), the Dr gained from 8-10 was double of 3-7 though I didn't get win.
Luckily a win in the last A/S race. Got a huge 2000 Dr and backed to S/S in the end.:)

From what I have experienced, Dr gain ratio is something related to Sr level.
A Sr S or A victory gives you over 2000 Dr while Sr B hands you 200 Dr at most.

I think I am in your first disaster race yesterday and glad that you recovered so quick :)
Actually you lose “only” 1000 dr. The other 1500 is comes from the dr de-rank and you can get 1500 back when rank up.

I lose 2900 dr because of disconnect a month ago and now still not yet recovered. (as I started a 2nd account since then :) )

Not sure it’s that much of a secret but tend not to spread it around. You were just behind me at one point but I messed up!! ;)

Ah I guess I know who you are then :p
You messed up the first corner after your pitstop in the second race, right? :boggled:

This makes me sad :(

O really, you are the one with the same flag as mine on the pole or 2nd?
Sorry I am not aware of you on GTP.
Nice to meet you

BTW, how do you recognize me?

Today was a bit of a slum. I'm not very fast with GR.4 nor on Interlagos in anything. So I shed about 4K DR today racing B and C. If I avoid them I'll never get better at those! Brand's hatch was pretty clean today, Interlagos very dirty. I even had someone using auto drive in the corner turning in on me and giving me a 10 sec penalty... I managed to avoid most of the trouble at the cost of DR. Let em kill each other :/

Tomorrow should be better, for DR at least. Monza, always a gamble. Matchmaking be gentle.

A) One Make (Skyline GT-R V R33 '97) -- Suzuka East (7 laps)
B) Gr.4 -- Monza (4 laps)
C) Gr.3 -- Blue Moon Infield A (16 laps, 6x fuel, 9x tire)

Ehhh...

Still no GR.2 eh? I guess I go to Infield later then.

Ehhhh..... indeed :( Love Monza but it is really SR and DR suicide.

Did the races change earlier than usual?

Yeah I assumed they'd start showing up after the Gr.2 FIA race on Sunday. That race was really fun, I need more! And at this point with four Groups plus One Makes, we really need more than 3 races a day.

Nope, same time. Well, it's an hour later than it used to be for NA, as of Sunday, but I guess the same for the rest of the world due to the daylight savings time here.
 
I'm tempted to do the Race C but the last time we had that track with Gr.3 it was really dirty driving. Maybe I'll set a q-time, check how much I'm behind the aliens and then decide if I race or not. What's the meta car? I guess Corvette?

Yep race on Sunday was on top thanks to GR.2 I think PD let the player adaptation with GR.2 in offline or lobby before they bring it to Daily Races, nah make sure less crash I guess lol

Corvette and new Lexus?
but I saw some user use Aston they always on front too.
 
Just trying qualifying not done Race C yet so not sure what's best on the tires and fuel. Have to just hope my Lexus is ok come the race.

Monza I guess for me

And maybe try to learn Infield A in a Gr. 3... I need to save up for an NSX. It's good that BoP is finally decent enough that more cars could be Top 10 competitive, but daaaaamn my wallet :lol:

Maybe someone's gullible enough to actually try that out...
 
Yeah i won the FIA in my Lexus, started pole and finished about 12 second ahead of anyone else. As for Monza, i had 1 go this morning and lost about 30 S/R, that first chicane is still carnage. I am was C/S going into Monza, guess it might be cleaner with a better D/R?

Anyway just waiting for matchmaking will report back later, wish me luck.

3 NSX's currently top 3 on Race C. Corvette's 4th and 6th at the moment. There an RC F '17 in 5th so will give that a go, currently my fav car, managed a win with it yesterday.

Current top ten

I have to say it's very refreshing to see a mix of cars in the top 10 and not just one make.
 
The race could have gone better got rammed a few times and dropped down to 12th managed 9th at the finish, as for the tires they lasted ok about 25% red until about lap 8 when i pitted. The race was won by a Citroen GT, i just checked the top 10 again and its 50% NSX now. Going to try half an hour Quali need to start a bit closer to the front i was 8th in that 1st race which wasn't ideal. I did gain D/R and S/R back after losing out at Monza though, anyone been brave enough to try Race B?

I haven't raced since the v1.15 update and just tried the daily race B Gr4 at Monza. Used the Veyron and managed a q-time of 1.56.1xx. Good enough for pole (very early days of course) and managed to get through the 1st chicane with no problems and got the W. Must have been carnage behind, as everyone else had the red-dot fever! I was the only one using the Veyron; I think it's fast around Monza, but I've seen anyone else use one in any of my previous GR4 races at Monza.
 
Daily races are boring as hell. Always almost same dudes in same
Cars. And I’m wondering why are we driving on the hard compound tire!!! Not a single event was on SS or so!

Ridiculous

You could do it for race b on sport. On c it woud be useless as they would wear out too quick.
Click to expand...
Lol. Why on B?? I want race Gr.3 on slicks then you can push to the limits and not like that. Since the release we’re driving on hard tire compound which don’t have nothing too do with”skill” at all!! But it’s your opinion, respect that :) another one who “defends”a broken game :)
