I really don't know how you guys can even attempt to do races like we had yesterday!? :boggled:

I avoid pretty much all Gr.1 races, as the penalty system just can't handle those fast cars.
And especially tracks like BB or any other oval track AND, of course, Kyoto!
Do yourself a favor and don't even think about racing them. Better do some League racing or Lobby carnage without any SR drop ;)
 
Just lost out on my 63rd win because of a disconnect...on the 15th lap...
Why....
Makes it worse too that i was gonna beat a super dirty player that i have seen a couple times now. He tried taking me out a couple times but was perma-ghosted. Don't get to report him either...
Booooo-urns

Races for tomorrow look like crap, except B but its too short.

So 17 laps in Race C, gives you the same DR as 5 laps in Race A/B against the same field?

I don't think. I did yesterday Race B mixed up with A+, A and B and get for pole/win max 600 DR points. Day before i did Race C with same field and pole/win gives around 1200 or 1500 DRs, don't remember the exact amount. But more than yesterday.

I'd say yes.

It also depends on how many DR points everyone has and where they finish. I guess if you win and another DR A+ driver is last you'll gain more points than when he comes 2nd ;)
 
So, after one race at Blue Moon I'm already done with it.
All it is, is Veyron scrubs forcing their way "through" you. Its the same we had with the beetle or Megane drivers. They just can't race properly and think they own the overtake, because they have the faster car.
Or, its the AS drivers! They seem to be the worst. I had better races with BS or AA drivers than those entitled "racers".
Btw, I'm AS too :lol:

Still managed to hold my position with the SLS, but its simply tedious to only race against one car...
I'll try Gr.2 now. Wish me luck :scared::)

I had cleanest races ever with B/S drivers, and I got lumped with pretty much all dr levels.
But on the other hand, I lost 30 Sr in one race with B/S, so there's that..
I would say 80% of the time it's good races.
 
Well I am avoiding all three races today as I think I took too much of a hit on my DR/SR yesterday.

The Toyota 86 race at Suzuka East was an ok race as got two third places and a second place but I really need to work on my
overall qualifying for daily races as still 2-4 seconds off the top 10 which hampers my starting position as usually midfield.

Avoiding today's races though as I think too much carnage will ensue.

DR System:

It only depends how many other drivers you have and how strong their DRs are compared tou yours. You give points to those finishing better and take points from those finishing behind you.
The Basic is 80 points each pairing, this value will be exchanged with somone same DR. If someone has higher DR then you then you give him less than 80 (for example 60) and if you win him then you take more then 80 from him (100 in this example).
That means the sum of DR gain/lose in a Race depends not only on how many drivers are in a room but which one of them are behind and in front of you after finish.

I onced won a race and gained only 100 DR because everybody else was way lower ranked then me. Othertime I gained 150 DR even I was only 11th in a 20 field with very strong drivers

I don´t agree with you... Statistically all the three races are not usually a menace to SR (by the contrary)!! I´m particulary curious about Dragon Gardens... Still haven´t raced there... and seems to me that today is a good day to start doing it! :)
 
My advice is to try Race A Darth Tails, especially if you like the 86. I only did a couple of quali laps and got pole in the race i ended up second because i tapped the wall at the very end and got a 5 sec penalty and was 4.5 secs ahead. Also had one go on race B and gained a couple of places with most drivers finishing without penalty. This is in B/S rankings.

As I said seconds ago... both 3 races Statistically are not a big danger to SR (truly they are "rewarding" on that issue)

If you look at this small table and understand about statistic... (data comes from https://www.jasonguernsey.net/gts/tracks/by-category )

Still think there may be carnage but it's more time constraints for today, I won't be online till about 9pm so by the time I do the FIA races
for today I may not have enough time before bed for daily races but I shall see what time I have.
