that's a solid run of 99 SR you got there! minus the odd dip of course :)

Well it's not really hard to maintain SR99 :D

Not if you're fast enough to start at the top consistently :)

That's mine, starting in the middle of the pack most of the time. Those drops are usually from 1 race getting screwed over. Kudos Prime records the stats for the day at 8 pm EST (5 pm PT) which happens to be the worst time of the day for dirty driving on the NA server. Later in the the evening it's always solid 99 when the driving quality improves. (I'm on average 42K DR)

The gap was intentional, it's where I went for the 91 wins trophy. Much easier in SR.B.

That's the past month. My DR is pretty much dialed in now. I came 440 points from DR.S one day, yet I definitely don't have to speed to stay there.

This is my average start/finishes

I usually finish better than where I start, Miyabi and BB raceway are the exceptions.
 
I saw a Lambo yesterday in Interlagos doing doughnuts for the entire race near the pits. Is therea new glitch that he is trying to exploit?

? What exactly do you mean?

It's easier to maintain high SR if you start top 5, rather than 12th place. My DR is high enough to start in the fast rooms with S/S and mostly A/S. Yet my average starting position there is 12th. On the NA server, that's not a good place to start :/ I usually have to let some aggressive drivers pass at the start to avoid incidents, so many people trying to win in T1. I catch them later anyway when they're eating dirt or serving a penalty.

Nice chart !!!
 
It's amazing that you can be in a grid full of S sportsman rated drivers, and still get divebombed into a chicane by someone a good 0.5 seconds behind you.... still - always next race I guess ( although it was enough to make me quit the race in frustration )
Can I also ask ( sorry if it's a noob question )- how you guys get access to these charts and stuff?
 
Did Suzuka tonight. I just couldn't seem to get it in the groove. Qualified 2s slower than I know I can manage, things just seemed a bit off. Somehow still found myself in P5 qualifying.

Even after watching the replay, I'm still not sure what happened to find myself in 3rd. I hung onto that quite comfortably for a few laps when I messed up a bit and 4th caught up to me. This guy was very patient, and very clean. If I was in his position, I doubt I'd have the car control to avoid a contact on numerous occasions. I made a mistake coming into the first of the two corners leading onto the long run. (one day I'll learn the names of the sections:banghead:.)

So 4th it was. I hung onto that till I pitted. The car was finally handling the way I wanted and I think I should have just re-fuelled, but I changed tyres. Came back in 5th and the out lap was a shocker! Just didn't seem to want to turn in. More mistakes and I was down to 8th. I came out of corner wide and there was already a car there. Wasn't happy that I knocked him off :grumpy:.

Stayed in 7th for the last 4 laps with a 5s penalty and a 6s gap. My SR and DR are up, but I'm not happy :irked:.
 
Had a few races at Alsace this afternoon, generally very clean and nearly back up to SR99, although Atenza is not the most competitive car in the world.

Couldn’t get a reasonable quali time only 2.00.7 yet I managed to beat it in a race :banghead:

My biggest annoyance is me! gradually building my DR rank, yet without fail I have two good races then like clockwork I will have a bad one and undo all the DR I just gained!!
 
not fond doing lot race today, sudden spike on Fia race that almost kicked me from race and I drive too aggressive today. Thankfully I can hold my ego in last 2 races best finish on 2nd today, that's important for me cause it make me stay on DR 29K. Yeah I just up and down from B to A back to B again hahahaha.

Still need learn how to hold my ego and taking less risk :dopey:
Ah yes, only 5 was doesn't get penalty on that race :lol:

The Atenza does not have straight line speed. I was right on the bumper of a Viper yesterday and thought I could overtake the Viper using the slip stream. Instead, the Viper just ran away from me and I caught him in the corners.

I am like you with the DR. A few nice races, then have a bad race because of some accidents and I have to build up DR all over again.

I think it’s a combination of the bad matchmaking and the points rewarded vs the points loss from a bad race because of the bad matchmaking!

Personally I feel like I’m stuck in a loop, high DRA myself but I cannot find those few extra tenths to be competitive with the top three, yet fast enough to hold my position, I’m getting bored of finishing 4th!!

Even when I drop SR from a bad race always a DRS that has dropped at the same time so still don’t get a pole or win!!

What’s the knack to driving the 911 RSR?

People are so quick in it at Suzuka today but I struggled to get a 2.08 in it and finished last by some margin. Switched to the M6, was consistency 5 seconds quicker and finished 4th behind 911s.
 
Not been on in a few days due to timing and being a bit peeved about a few penalties/disconections putting me all the way down to d.d.

Logged on, suzuja, gp3, 10 laps. Perfect. Had to do the update so only got 4 qualy laps in so ended up on a high 2.04 (usually a low 2.03) and qualified 9th. Fair doos but but the pole sitter had a 2.01 but was allegedly a D/D driver....

Took it easy, ran 7 laps first stint and ended up 4th. No penalties and only the slightest contact with a guy who lost it at the chicane. 3RD was only a second ahead and leader under 8s so pretty happy with that and restored some of my faith in the game. Back to C/B now.

Turns out the pole sitter was the guy in third so maybe a very lucky q lap!

I run 2.03s in it at suzuka. Lots of feathering the throttle and taking a lot of the kerbs where you can.
 
I ran a 58.6 in it today :) - lines are key, hug the kerbs and carry as much speed as you can. Watch some replays to see for yourself.
It's more of a flowing high speed car rather than a point and squirt machine so it suits suzuka well. Plus current bop makes it good almost everywhere.
All the best shaving those tenths :)

911 can drop a gear lower than other cars. So dont be afraid to drop to 2nd in the S instead of 3rd like many other cars. The higher RPMs make it more unstable so you definitely have to feather the throttle. Ride the curbs and i usually put my brake balance to +3 for hotlaps or +2 for racing on Suzuka.

Just because others are quicker in the 911 doesn't mean you will be. I ALWAYS use the viper for GR3 and after an hour using the 911 qualifying I jumped in the Viper and beat it by half a second first try.

Some cars suit certain drivers, just because the 911 occupies every spot in the top 10, doesn't mean it will be the best for you. I think there is fault in even displaying top ten times purely for that reason

I learned a few things watching Tidgney's 911 BOP test. Keep an eye on gear selection and throttle use.
