"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[Veinz]

This is my first time using the F1500. Second gear is basically useless with no tc, I stay in third for all of the low speed stuff.

Whats race C today?

 

[Veinz]

Whats race C today?

F1500 at Nurb GP - 10 laps - 2x fuel, 5x tire wear

 

[Litchi]

I know its is still early but 26th in the US! Not sure I've ever been this close to the top 10

Time to climb back to Dr A!

Hey, I'm 17th on your screenshot

 

[05XR8]

Just pit for tyres. I made up 4 spots from those not pitting.

 

[Mikail Hizal]

None of the top 5 times in EU for Daily C have replays available. I know Lightning can probably do a 38 but there are C/C guys sub 1:40 as well

For some reason it won't show off my lap on the leaderboard even though i haven't changed my method of saving my lap afterwards. But if you go to my profil you can watch my lap there m8 (38.1)

My optimum is down to a low 39 after about 5-6 laps so I definitely believe that.

This meanwhile was top split in Europe before I got a blue screen in warm-up. As long as you keep it in 3rd gear and above I'm struggling to see how so many are struggling with it

I see southpaw racer!

After an exhausting social event, I was finally able to play some GTS. I also got a cold along the way. Great
I think the fatigue is getting into me #driverexcuses; I spent an hour qualifying, not because I'm shaving tenths off my time, but because I can't set a lap without me going off-track. In a 4WD car. And in the end my time's not all that great either- a 1:38.3xx

No Sport mode today for me I guess

Cool you joined a team.

 

[TheGeologist]

Time to go be an adult (good time too, since I'm finding better competition! )

4 great races at Interlagos and one okay race.

Race 1: Started first, finished first
Race 2: Started third, finished first
Race 3: Started third, finished second
Race 4: Started third, finished second
Race 5: Started fifth, finished sixth

Jumped up 3,000 Dr pts this morning. Hopefully I can keep it rolling this evening!

My next Sport Mode win will be a milestone. #Chasing30

Dood! If an alien like you can't keep it on the track, defiantly time to have a break and get some rest. Try again tomorrow 👍.

 

[Litchi]

Meh, I just had a red S but no penalty at all during the race, even got the clean race star. But the game decided to remove me 3 SR points anyway...

Not that SouthPawRacer however

did you leave the track during the race? I mean no accidents but out of the track with no pen awarded..
Cause it happened to me too

 

[Litchi]

Yeah. Ok thanks. But it happens to me sometimetimes to leave the track and I usually don't have a red S for that.

 

[TheGeologist]

Interlagos seems to be uber sensitive when it comes to penalties. I love her very much, but she has sent me down to Sr A on more than one occasion in the past.

I got a white S in one race this morning. The only contact I had was a small door bang when battling for the lead. Even though neither driver got a penalty I still ended with a white S.

 

[mthomas_95]

So the guy who's done a 35.8 in the F1500? Jumped him at the start, pulled a 1 second lead in 6 corners and he tried to kill me at the hairpin and missed. His fastest race lap was a 45.6.

That leaderboard time 100% legit

Where are people cutting?

 

[mthomas_95]

My guess is there's a chicane cut that doesn't give a penalty or one so small it's easy to get rid of at the line and the lap still count.

 

[Veinz]

35s, ouch. Here I am in the 43s.

 

[ASH32]

@mthomas_95 Ask the guy how he got that time, he may tell you how he did it, especially if you act like finding an exploit is way cool or something, well if he understands English anyway.

He was suspiciously quiet when everyone in the lobby chat asked pre race, then laughed at him after the race

He has a history of being a dirty driver as well, so if enough people report him here's hoping it actually works for once!

Thanks! Am about to get some shut-eye

D:

43s would put you mid pack in top split atm, people run for the hills when this car comes up. Had D DR drivers in top split, at this time of day usually you need a high B to get in.

Looking at the boards I reckon there's no way those other C drivers who are on there set a genuine lap either and they've still been beaten by people doing proper laps.

This needs a video so the cheating can be stopped, however there's no doubt someone will do it and not be able to/forget to cancel the upload soon enough and then it'll be there for all the world to see.

 

[mthomas_95]

They should be putting the barriers up like in FIA. There's a ridiculous lap time gain/loss at the chicane, especially in the F1500 which one lap glides through the kerbs like they don't exist and the next lap gets spat off into France

 

[Sven Jurgens]

You posted this at 3AM EST, not a whole lot of people are going to playing at that time. Especially during a weekday.

That's midnight EST, half the server area is still awake! The last race of the day used to be a lot more populated. It seems to drop off a lot sooner now.

 

[Invisigoth]

Qualifying the T1000 F1 car. I really hated it in GT League Brands Hatch. Sold it right after quiting the first race. Now, loving it.

You sir, are a freak! I did some pre-qualify laps and it's just as hateful as I remember . No Race C for me tonight!

Since I won't be doing Race C, I decided to jump into Race A. I'm crap with cars that require actual driver skill to be competitive. That would be the slower cars which are very unforgiving. I qualified about as good as I was going to get, and in a grid of DR/Bs and Cs I qualified third last.

The race got under way and I was being careful to give room. Up ahead was a bit of mayhem, but I was too far back to catch up enough. By the 3rd lap there was a 5s gap between me and the car in front. That's pretty well much where it stayed . I was more concerned with the gap between me and the car in the lead. I kept glancing every so often to see if I needed to look at the radar. I didn't have to worry, there was only a 22s gap, not close enough to my lap times for me to be a back marker . Finished second last .

I guess the DR/Bs in the group helped me. The DR loss wasn't enough to eject me from DR/C. SR up to 93 and a clean race bonus 👍. 31 DR to spend on the journey home.

Funny, I jumped in the Clio, navigated the chicane and thought, "heck no!". Jumped out and back in to Gr. 4.
