It seems that Race a times are duplicated on the americas servers according to this website
 
Qualified in Interlagos with 1:33.294 with a single lap, i was trying earlier with the GTR Gr.3 but it's so hard to steer with that car so i switched to the Vantage. Started 7th and with some luck i managed to win my first race. The leader had some penalty and had almost 3 seconds of lead but at least turn he did a mistake and i managed to catch up to him!

Press L3 to fly

The guy on the right was being overtaken by both of us and tried to push us both off the track. I got sandwiched in the middle and up I flew.

And I got 2 penalties.. RIP my 8 clean race streak

I'm not trying to be sour about anything, but I had a B-race on friday night where another player was quite cross with me after a last lap spin. I watched the replay and accounting for my intended lines and having raced all day with no issues I can't find anything that I might have done wrong. Usually when I ruin someone's race I like to reserve judgment and am openly apologetic, but I don't see anything about my driving in this race that screams out to me "Why would I do that? I'm so stupid!" At the same time, the winner seemed to empathize with the other guy

What do you guys think? Could I have been to blame for any of these incidents? The last lap spin was a weird one, and I only moved up after we made contact and I noticed he was coming around in front of my car.

You're driving fine. No clue why the other guy thinks corner exits are in the middle of the track, odd lines there. I'm actually happy to see the penalty system got it right in this instance, maybe things are improving!

Apparently I must have done something to upset someone in the past as well, no clue what as he doesn't know either, just curses me out now every time he's in a race with me. Not just me though, he started going off on Turismo-Psycho as well. Some people just spend too much energy on blaming others for their own mistakes.

I think things are improving slightly Sven - I got hit hard two times from behind - also in the same race I ran into another guy as I was slip-streaming and he had a PENALTY sign above his car..... he put the brakes hard on for a short time (probably to get penalty-free)...in the middle of the straight-away - his penalty "sign" went off - he gassed it and then he got a new penalty sign above his car after I hit him in his "rear"... THAT made a smile on my face! I'm praying it's part of an improvement of the penalty system!

Dude that sucks. I'm currently at 13 clean races. About to do my 14th
 
I just had worst race ever in sport mode.
Quali 2nd in race C, rammed off through esses in first lap by a guy who takes out 4 ppl with him.
He and his Spanish buddy chased me around entire 🤬 race to ram me off. Barely got any penalty.
They even trolled me in chat after race..

I finished with almost 9s penalty and 8th..:banghead::banghead:🤬
I really need to change region.

Dr B drivers are worst, really...

Btw anyone noticing how NSX in quali is one car, and like completely different thing in race?
It feels like having bananas taped to wheels:D
 
I thought the NSX was alright in the race actually but I wasn't pushing like in qualifying and still never got a great clean lap in, so could have gone a bit quicker than I ever did but I may have crashed off too. :lol:

Then again my qualification lap wasn't totally perfect but I had no more time to improve it and it's was solid enough at that time to start in a good position.
At least there were no idiots in my races. 👍 :gtpflag:
 

Odd things happened to me on daily B. Last lap started together with a quick guy fallen back from the top of the pack.

First surprise: T1-T2 we went side-by-side, In T1 I was inside, left room, in T2 I was forced offtrack in exchange, but doesn't matter as I didn't get penalty. (Before T3 it used to be penalised as I can recall, as it looks like a cut.)

2nd surprise (this is in the shared video): in the last corner I got bumped while braking. Didn't expected, as we were went through half the lap side-by-side without any touch, he seemed to be driving fair. However, got bumped, didn't pay attention to the bottom orange line, but I was quite sure that he also got penalty, and necessarily more than the 1s I received. Crossed the line in front, with my 1s penalty. After the finish line, I found interesting that he is in front of me without any penalty. He was slightly overpowered after the turn, so it is impossible that with a worst exit to the last flatout section, he could rub his penalty and get back behind me so close. Unfortunately it is not included in the saved replay.

How can it be?
An A+ can bump an A without penalty? Or a B can bump an A? (I don't know his DR. More likely A or A+ than B)
Or it was just a lag and from his point of view nothing happened?
I'd like to understand, so any help or explanation appreciated.

I'm starting to feel it's completely random..
 
Had a quick go of Race C tonight to restart the 75k DR mission, again.
Finally, FINALLY a clean race!
Half of the grid consisted of A+ drivers which is a rarity.
Was in 2nd until I made a rare error at Suzuka at Turn 1 on the last lap, probably because I did two laps earlier this afternoon and drove a different car lol.
I always end up with better results with the cleanest and fastest drivers. Always.
I even sometimes race quicker in Top 24 Superstars races than in the average daily because I get paranoid around dirty or clumsy drivers! :lol:
 
I had my best day in GTS since I came back ten days ago. Four starts, four clean races, no penalties, two wins and a bunch of close and fair battles for the lead. It was amazing! Race B was unusually incident-free!

the grip when touching the grass is simply ridiculous..... on top of me spinning after an inch of my tire touched the grass, I spun and hit a guy resulting in ruining both mine and his race....

Was really looking forward to Gr2 cars at Suzuka but all the aliens must had gone home. At least I was able to get the GT-R into 49s in the race. Then I tried out the Lexus for the first time at Suzuka and almost ran a 57 qualifying lap, half a second faster than I was with the GT-R. :boggled:
 
A) One Make (Mazda Roadster) -- Miyabi (6 laps)
B) Gr.2 -- Good Luck at DT Seaside (5 laps)
C) Gr.1 -- Nurb GP (12 laps, 7x fuel, 11x tires)

I believe that's the first time we've had Gr.2 and Gr.1 on the same day.

The GT-R has good top-end, but Lexus seems to have more low-end acceleration -- I had a GT-R cut in on the inside on that tight hairpin and I still pulled away from them immediately on the straight. And it's more stable with tire wear than the NSX.
 
Yes!! Gr2 @ DT!! Awesome.. Now only if we had 'em in Lago I'd be happy.

Tried the new Gr3 Toyota last night.. Losing time in it to so many little slips. Was .8 seconds faster in my old reliable Citroen GT.
 
What a lovely combos but, looks like Qualifying only - at Dragon Trail.

I was thinking that they fixed track limits at Nurb but sadly no.
