"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[ASH32]

I did a lot of grass cutting today at Brands Hatch and still won some races too.

Also my best lap today is slower than last time and I used CSA for most of today and never did the last time this combo was on. I guess I'm not quite at it today.

CSA seems faster overall, especially in the first half of the lap but it is slower in the second half, although if I got it right I shouldn't lose too much with it on.

Its a potential Dr killer (Gr.b), but still people race them. Like Monza, nordschleife and Tokyo

Should've known any better ;-;
Monza and Tokyo I have enough experience to avoid the carnage, but barely any at Infield. Especially with a whole new group

Thanks for the info, Dude!

And just in case you manage to be the 1st on the start (pole position) ?? That helps??

I guess it does? Looking at it optimistically, the race could've been far worse for me if I didn't start on pole

Did 2 daily c, finally broke the 1:29 barrier with quali time at 1:28.918. Wait for a decade to make it though no way near the top star.

Started 2nd race on pole and got 30 victory in EMEA. Lost the clean race bouns as I touched the pit lane wall. haha Sr back to 99 from 79

I’ve always used bumper cam, when I was along younger I made the switch from chase cam because I realised I was a lot faster, the other alternative was roof cam which always felt weird. This bonnet cam is perfect, just missing a mirror

I drive with wheel so chase cam is just weird.
Bumper one makes me sad cuz I can't see whatever there's little left of livery and where the wheels are xD

So roof/hood cam is best option for me as well.

oh.. ok.. I was more or less thinking that you would! (Been on pole or close to it)

On these Group B races, it should be allowed to use the Group B road cars, also!!!!

 

[Pelikan]

Race B was a blast this morning. The standing start made it very interesting. Those Group B cars are so much fun to drive quickly.

 

[O604]

Did a race on Daily B. Some American guy announces before the race he's going to ruin the race for others. Sure enough he starts driving in the opposite direction trying to take cars out. WTF?

One make races everyday are getting old. I mean if their going to change up the other two with Gr 1-2-3-4 why not have three different races everyday none of the other classes have a race every single day IMO there needs to be way more variety sorry to the people who like the one make races But they don’t need them every single day

Shoot the way it's looking the Gr. 1-2-3-4 races might as well be one makes now seeing how everyone uses the most dominant car for a daily. At Brands Hatch you'll get 10-12 4Cs 4-5 Huracans and an M4, Atenza, and 86.

Maybe it's just me but it's getting tiresome facing 15 of the same car in a race that's not a specified one make. But I digress,

I definitely agree with you on them changing the one makes to other types if races. To add on, nobody ever really does the one make races. I use to do em up until I became an A DR and realized my DR never increases after completing them. I'm not going to say they're pointless, but the competition just isn't there for them to be an option EVERYDAY.
The grids will look like this.

Spoiler: Ex. Grid

DR/SR
1. A/S
2. A/S
3. B/S
4. B/S
5. A/A
6. C/S
7. B/A
8. C/S
9. C/S
10. D/S
11. D/S
12. D/S

 

[Suntek]

Chose to skip daily and go for Nations instead. Totally worth it

 

[Nick Cannella]

Thanks guys.
Reason I asked is I did a race B this morning with a qualifiing time of 1:13.4. PD put me in a room where I was only A driver 1 B and the rest were C's and D's. P2's qualifiing time was 2 sec slower than mine.
It wasn't fair to those other guys but I was afraid to exit because if a DR hit. Will never understand how or why PD groups us the way they do sometimes.

Thanks for looking out and caring about us lower ranked drivers!

??? When a guy does that.. his car is automatically ghosted.... So... that his mostly a problem for the guy... (for being simply stupid...) isn´t it?

 

[Suntek]

Isn't it like 20s or something before you get disqualified when driving in opposite direction?

 

[O604]

Probably. I just don't have a lot of experience with cars driving directly at me ghost or not. I avoided it, pulled into the pit and quit. Every driver at the start was SR-S. Not sure how it ended.

 

[Qyn]

That's pretty hard to tell in that format, it looks like a very poorly executed dive bomb. Perhaps he was trying to manipulate the penalty system as a hit directly from behind would have given him a bigger penalty, normally... If it was revenge, it could always be mistaken identity.

Thanks for the feed back Sven, but this wasn't mistaken identity. That's why I switched to the camera in his car at the end to see his inputs. He aimed right for me lol.

I don't see you did anything wrong. But I do see a muppet from the most disgusting type, who ruined your win. And seems purely and definitely intentional. In a properly working system we could not find this ... creature for the next few months - while he is banned out of any online race. His name worth remembered, just every fair player to know who to avoid.
Was he reported? BTW, anything ever happened to this reports?
(Still can't see the smartness behind this rule here, we can insert a video, or even a screenshot clearly indicating the name, but not allowed to type. Joke.)

I was thinking the same thing as well. Definitely intentional. That would've been my 12th win too . I stopped racing for a little so I could calm down a bit. Then went back a little later, and who's there in the second race sitting on pole? You guessed it. So I send them a little pre race chat "sore loser for yesterday". As the race started I'm P6, he intentionally let's the field pass and turn into me at the 1st high speed corner at DT . Race ruined .

I HAD to report him for the 1st one .

 

[ShadowPeter]

Uh... well first time i've seen 3 DR A+\SR S drivers and that's in a Race B.
But yeah it seem the Audi is the right car to go, big mistake bringing the Lancer

How about the Subaru WRX?? He have a better accelaration than Lancer. (TCS: 0; Brakes: -1 or less)

Anyway

4C's on Brands Hatch Grand Prix?? Pffff!! What is that?? This baby can smash them:

Sad. What a clown. And what’s mostly sad, how proudly can he be such a muppet. (Completely different words was coming to me, but not allowed.)

 

[vvise]

Yesterday was my first time racing Gr1. Very stressful. Overtaking is difficult to do cleanly. A bit of a wider spread in drivers too, seemed like a lot of the DR A and A+ drivers were avoiding it. I don't normally see a lot of competitive DR B drivers anymore but I did yesterday.

I ended up with 2 clean races but found it hard to keep up with some of the drivers.

Also, the 919 is a monster, look how much faster it pulls away from the Mazda out of corners.

 

[Jamie Bbbbb]

Not sure what I would do in Gr.4 without my baby Megane...this thing eats 4Cs for breakfast

 

[ShadowPeter]

@Jamie Bbbbb How about using the Subaru WRX Gr.4??

 

[Jamie Bbbbb]

IDK, what is it like on the straights? The Megane works great in races, in particular at Brands, because you can overtake on straights and easily defend turns on the narrow track.

 

[Sergio18]

Gr B is funny, sooooo funny

 

[ShadowPeter]

IDK, what is it like on the straights? The Megane works great in races, in particular at Brands, because you can overtake on straights and easily defend turns on the narrow track.

It's very good on straights and he have a better acceleration than Lancer, the low point of Subaru WRX Gr.4 is the weight, especially on turns. Put the TCS at 0 and put the brakes at -1 and it will be a amazing car. Hope i didn't make any mistake.

Did a 1.29:712 with the Suby. (I am DS4 user)

Honestly, the races i fought against the Meganes, (if i don't mistake) they have ended up behind me. (on B-C; B-B, B-A and B-S racing)

I think the Megane is only very good on the track Bathurst.

That wasn’t Freeman whatever his name is was it?

[O604]

No it wasn't. Name started with a j_____. Race greeting was something like "I'm here to ruin your race". Watch out.

 

[Venster]

Brands hatch please just once let me set my optimum time. Set a not too bad 1.28.398 but optimum was a 1.27.8!! Every time stupid back section in particular second to last corner lose time!!

 

[Invisigoth]

Race B is suicide I repeat Race B is suicide

People still don't know how to properly control Gr. B cars. Started on pole but optimistic people at T1 relegated me to 3rd. Down to SR 85 after some ping pong.

The handling was better than it was for Willow Springs. I only lost 1 SR in my race .

Its a potential Dr killer (Gr.b), but still people race them. Like Monza, nordschleife and Tokyo

It's the crazy that makes this game worthwhile . I gained over 500 DR .

Dunno, I started 2nd in my Mustang, behind a Megane and he didn't lose me. I gained on it at turn in, mid corner and exit. Clean driver. I only lost places due to instant understeer. A 3rd placed Huracan grabbed P1, because of mistakes. I still finished 2nd and the Megane had penalties.

 

[xxxman1]

Nice drive mate. Patient paid off in the first few laps. I was amazed fuel map 2 served you well and let you completed the race strongly.👍 I drove a 4c last night with fuel map 1. Refuelled at lap 9. Doubt if 4c as fuel efficient as Citroen. Grate race.
