Btw, just notice that race c became one make (4c) in the leader board at EMEA now.:lol:

Sadly seems the 4C ruined the race. Not the speed, but it seems either people are not able to keep the car in line the first few laps or the lines are different. Had few clean races before the 4c take over, but the first races with 2/3 alfa were crash fests. And its an sr S race...!

Thanks!

Set a good Q time to place you up front is critical for you to stay away from side to side racing and bumping at the last hairpin. In the race, I use map 1 for the first 3 laps then map 2/3 till pit at lap 12/13 with around 8 laps fuel in tank. Hope it helps you.

My region are all Huracans. Started from pole, but got too much curb for a 1.4 second red dunce cap. Gained back on the lead Huracan. Came 2nd and claimed fastest lap. The 86 ain't done yet.

Huracans:eek: 4c dominates in both Asia and EU. Can you post the leaderboard?👍

Edit: Mix of brand during my race c today. It was the first race after daily change.

The only glitch with racing games to me is using a controller driving a car not being arcade game. To me I love that little benefit. Since controller users are having other benefits being faster than with a wheel.

If the controller is faster than the wheel why then were there only 2 DS4 users at the Nurburgring event out of 30? You seem to want the game to exclude 90%+ of players like Project Cars does by making the physics on controller undrivable :lol:

The controller does benefit on exits in Gr3 and above because of throttle smoothing, but in every car you have to brake slightly earlier because it smooths the braking when you can just slam on the brake pedal initially with a wheel. You also get far less feedback making it more likely to lose the rear end or understeer wide.

I'm guessing down my end of the spectrum it will be more of a mix. I found the C4 was nice at Bathurst but didn't have the legs on the big straits. This nights race C should better suit it, but I think I'll take the M4 for a spin.
 
Porsche keys to the race for Mr Myagi: Watch ya back. Shoot strait. Conserve ammo, and, Never cut a deal with a dragon. That first one got me. I tried a few cars. Got the best times with the C4 4C. decided to run the M4 any way. Clearly not the tool for the job. I was matched with DR/A, B and D. Interestingly the DR/A on pole was using an NSX. The next 3 were 4Cs. It was a pretty demoralising race. Started P13. I was moving up at first. The M4 clearly had more muscle. Sadly, just not the agility, at least, the way I drive.

I got shunted from behind and spun out down to P18. Crossed the line P17 and was passed by P1-P6. A few of them tried to avoid me. I wish they didn't. I was ghosted and driving through me would have been much easier on all of us. The whole race was a comedy of errors by all concerned (including me :O). Finished P17. Had the race not finished for me 1 lap less than the full 25, I'd have run out of fuel. :crazy:

Should have taken 05XR8's advise and gone with the fakesix. I was almost able to match my 4C time with that.

SR down another 7, DR down 900+. Looks like I won't be seeing DR/C any time soon. Another day above DR 1 :scared:.

Another day, another oval/broad bean. PD is trying hard to make people abandon GTS.

Here's a suggestion for their staff for the next weekend (you can lower everyone's SR in one day and bore the few that insist on racing to death on the next):

Saturday:
Daily A: 4 laps at Monza with the Tomahawk
Daily B: First ever rally race with 20 cars at Sardegna Windmills
Daily C: 40 laps, Gr1 at Northern Isle Speedway

Sunday:
Daily A: 1 lap at Nurburgring 24h with their favorite Toyota N200 class
Daily B: 4 laps anywhere for the 5 people with the 20M Ferrari or Jaguar
Daily C: 30 laps at Tokyo East Outer Loop with karts

Did two race c, both pole and clean race. What make me feel satisfied is Sr up 51.:yuck: Just 2 races already recovered most of my Sr lost in the last few days.:cheers: I thought I would be Sr 99 after 2nd race as I gained 30 Sr from the 1st one. No idea why the 2nd one only gave me 21 Sr. Is it more Sr to gain in lower Sr rank race? :confused: Anyway I need to take a break to enjoy Sr S again.:gtpflag:

Yes the lower your SR the higher the SR Boost and also the harder it is to get SR Downs. When I did a Bluemoon draft bump test a few months ago, with the exact same technique, I lost 88 SR from SR 99, yet gained 53 SR after hitting SR 1. Eventually the violent swings settled around SR 40. Same draft bumping and nothing else. It is hard work to stay below SR.B!

I didn't think races could be worse than yesterday. Miyabi already puts me to sleep after 5 laps, never mind 25! My SR is down to 56 from Bluemoon yesterday (yep still not allowed to draft bump despite receiving clean race bonus, no penalties, no SR Dows, still red rating) So BB raceway would likely lead to a DR reset. Well not likely, certainly, a sprint race with max 5 SR to gain, 15 laps with grid start in a rally car...

Luckily the sun is back today. I'm going to take my bike out for a 80km ride following the river to a couple towns further North. God of War tonight.
 
@xxxman1 nice DR gain 👍 Might have to give race C a try tonight. It's one of my favourite short tracks. Hopefully will get some DR gain. I keep bouncing between 43000 and 45000 DR. Just can't seem to bust thru that wall.
 
Race C is fun with 4c, that car can really carry over speed into corners.
Only 2 of us got away without penalty out of 20 lol

Got blamed by a guy in hurracan that "I crashed him out" when he was trying to squeeze in over the grass after he overshot T1 and I kept the inside, before that he did pretty much everything in the books to block me for few laps, after ramming me off from the inside of T1..

Edit: race 2 almost got clean race bonus if a guy didn't overshoot 2nd U-turn and ram right into me from the side, orange SR straight away :S

Then fuel just goes bananas last lap and calculates from 1,5 to 0,3 left in like 150m:boggled:

Rolled from last turn and dropped 2 places to 5 xD

Still 25Sr and 1k dr in 2 races, not bad.
