A) One Make (Megane) -- Big Willow (4 laps)
B) Gr.4 -- Mount Panorama (3 laps)
C) One Make (Audi e-tron VGT garage car) -- Yamagiwa (14 laps, 5x tires)

The Audi is the new Audi from 1.18 update??? How will I get (quickly) a new million to buy it? Just spent yesterday 800k for a GR2 car..

This Race C racing issues are beginning to sound like diversion for the rich ones.. only!! Kinda undemocratic issue!!

Another disaster last night... very much knocking on the door of DR/B again now

Got a 1:32.2 in qualifying, started 7th in the first race and finished 6th or 7th (can't remember and jasguer is down). Finished with red SR though.
Next race, being in lower SR, got given 3rd amongst mostly Bs and Cs (with 1 x A and 1 x S ahead of me) but got disconnected as the race was starting. Thanks.
Next race, started pole and got the win and clean race. Felt hollow.
Next race, back in S/A grid with a few B (saw @banckzy who forgot to brake for T1 on lap 2 ). Started 8th and finished 7th (thanks @banckzy).
Next race, started 7th behind banckzy again. Was up to 6th or 5th but then got divebombed by a UK guy in a green and black 911 (B rated - clearly a doesn't know how to race despite putting in a mid 32s Q time), let him take the position through the chicane, then gained it back later in the lap. He tapped me a few times through the curvy section but I held the position (at the expense of time penalties to me and NO notification of any to him) then eventually he PIT manoeuvred me on T1/T2 on lap 4 or 5. I got mountains of penalties for contact + corner cutting (to go with the others). Had to serve from 14 down to about 8 before I could continue. Finished 14th. Rammer had dropped from 5th/6th that he stole from me to finish in 11th - ****. Got dropped to A/A
Did a race A, started 4th and finished 4th (3 x A ahead, all D behind). Clean race, back into S, gained about 30 DR.

All in all, lost 1400 DR and dropped to 86 SR.

@Robben I experienced the opposite of you.
Conldn't match my PB all the night and set a Q lap 1:32.0xx. Raced 3 all started at pole, won 2 and a 2nd. Three clean race bonus. Sr back to 96 which i was happy but Dr around 900 per game only. Long way to back to A or even S.

 

[Mirror_man]

Please, could someone tell me what are cars used by top 10 for Mount panorama, right now?

this evening i would try racing for race B....

If you´ve got that feeling.... like... "I just wanna die!! Somebody shoot me! Please!!" Go for it!!!

Go to GT League > Professional League > Premium Sports Lounge and do the Blue Moon Speedway race. Use the Alfa 4c group 3 road car (in the mileage exchange this week), tune it to N500 and reduce weight fully. In 12 minutes you will win 240000 credits, or 350000ish if you get clean race bonus, so only a few of these

I just can't get a good start position these days

I guess it will take a drop into B to start getting favourable matchmaking again...

Thanks dude!

Cool|| That is actually the best payment by minute racing you may get on GTS???

I´ll have to give it a try... but that means that to raise a million I´ll have to drive on a idiot 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 oval for something like 45 minutes to an hour... practically non stop... that will make my stomach... get really really acid.... I bet!

 

[TheGeologist]

OK then where were you starting with your 32.211 out of interest?

Third. Every 🤬 race. Always had S drivers in front of me and I couldn't do anything with them

 

[Robben]

Yeah, it is the easiest and quickest way. The 50% bonus really helps... don't get tempted to try and win the race in the first couple of laps, you will gradually overtake them all anyway, so go steady and avoid contact at all cost... oh and if you start a race with La Ferrari on the grid, then restart as it is too fast to beat with N500...

It is boring, but if you need money...

 

[KK78]

Well the races today are pure vomit

Career mode or livery editor it is.....

 

[Robben]

Third. Every 🤬 race. Always had S drivers in front of me and I couldn't do anything with them

And you finished 3rd mostly, hence your massive DR haul? Ahead of mostly A or B?

I just can't understand how I keep having such **** luck with grid positions...

 

[Nuschel01]

N300 or N400 pays out even more at the Premium Sports races, if oval racing is boring just do the others

,, yep.. I do... I´ve only got like 150 k on my GTS pocket. how many laps in that race?? Sorry??

Gr2 race yesterday was fun.. but... a bit disastrous... 1st race ever with Gr.2 cars for me...

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Yep, will give race C a go. No chance on the other two... hate Big Willow and, although I like Panorama, I'm not racing it online.



I will be back with you in the promised land soon mate

Edit... Look at this ffs shocking

View attachment 730693

Yeah gotta sort that out. Might need some montage training to get you right. Thinking a bit of this.



Gonna have to be rocky 3 as 4 has been done and 1 is too obvious.

Its shake and bake time then.

Tricky to win though and you don't gain that much more do you?

It takes longer though.. he just wants the money.

Gr2 race yesterday was fun.. but... a bit disastrous... 1st race ever with Gr.2 cars for me...

15 laps... 45-47 seconds per lap. Quickest I have done it is like 11:40 or so...

 

[TheGeologist]

I just can't understand how I keep having such **** luck with grid positions...

3rd or 4th beating all As and Bs and once or twice an S that started behind me. What were your dr pts at last night? Q time?

It's the only track I always start well at. I hate being in Dr A because I am put with drivers I cannot compete with at any track... except Interlagos. All the other tracks I'm in the back

could be worrst... got to do it... simple as that..

should I reduce the downforce on the Alfa to the minimum??? and maximum speed on?? An oval race. is mostly all about speed...

 

[Robben]

@TheGeologist
Last night, I set a 1:32.2 and started the night on 33491 DR points.

Summary again:

If I remember correctly A Porsche 911 GT3RS can be detuned to N499 and makes it an easier win than the Alfa 4C. I also found the Ferrari F40 and McLaren F1 good for easy wins.

Yup F40 with super soft tyre. Easy win even with LeFerrari 👍

Thanks!!!! I think that the best will always be the car that with 500hp will have the lowest weight (ratio Hp/weight maximized) won´t it??
Nobody tried the KTM X-Bow??? It may be raised to 540hp and weight reduced to 718 kg.. very difficult to beat that... ratio 540/718 (on a 500HP car) .. I think!

@Mirror_man
If you really dont want to race on the boring oval, choose the GR2 races in GT League.
They're easy as hell and fun to race. Just make sure you get the clean race bonus and you'll get 300k in 20min. way more fun than grinding on oval tracks IMO

Ah yes, forgot about the tyres - make sure you change to RSS.

Re: X-Bow... yes you can make more money, but it's a bit more of a difficult drive... the 4C (and 911 GT3) are very stable...

 

[Elitekilla29]

Are you guys upgrading the power on these cars or something? I was reading some of comments from a couple of pages back and everyone kept saying they were getting 1:48s in the GR.2 suzuka race. Meanwhile I can barley break into a 1:50. I have to be lacking in power because im taking the corners pretty well. Are you guys S/S ranked or something? I'm A/S rank.

The guys that were commenting @Shottah072 and @Philtaylor17 are both S/S (and Phil gets top 10 most days). The rest of us mortals don't disclose our ****** times

 

[Balwerk]

1st race on e-tron: everybody get penalty cause doesn't know measure braking zone , 2nd race get data loss while pretty clean race on track
will try this again after my internet get better in next 3 hours

best time was under 1:47. dude...

But I´ve got this one for you under 1:48

Look through(with attention) the top 10 lap videos... and discover brake points... simple as that!!!

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Sven that win you got was awesome Nznz is faaaast. But you're so consistent i kept juusst touching the grass and putting myself at the back to climb back up...
We had 1 or 2 good battles for 3rd and 4th tho that was awesome.

Tried the e-tron race....
its fun but nailing down the braking zones on that car is insane. I got it past 300 km/h after the esses t2-4. I was braking 50 metres earlier than normal and still over shooting corners if your not super careful.

Indeed great battles, was a pleasure to race with you. I'm consistent as I'm deadly afraid of spinning out, I always aim to stay away from the edge. So when you see me actually driving edge to edge, that's me 'messing up' I also seem to always set my fastest lap times on worn tires.

See you on the mountain tonight, perhaps.

 

[Balwerk]

1st race was on 4 PM (just 1 hour after change mix) and people still finding their proper braking point when racing.

Probably now that already have it..

ok.... better do it your self. .then.. take some time... it´s a trial and error thing!

Yep this and I was in the 1'48's too but then I'm also S/S even if I'm not quite at the level of the upper S guys. I also used the Lexus, maybe if I'd have used the NSX I could have taken another few tenths off my time. Something to try when this event comes up again, as no doubt it will.

I got into a :48 last time on Suzuka, but I can't replicate it anymore so I sat at a mid-49
I'm B/S on my current account
