SR only went down to a 93, but took a 500 point loss on my DR. Shouldn’t have had that last drink.

Well.. Two nights of race b got me SR10 and by that a dr hit of approx 15000p...

 

[zzz_pt]

OMG the idiots were out in force tonight in race C lol. @zzz_pt & @_ApexPredator looked to be having fun at the front though I'll be back racing later on.

I'll be editing my escapades tomorrow.

My first race with the Megane and it's definitely better than the Toyota. The negative thing about starting on pole though is I'm always trying to build a gap to the car behind (who's on my slipstream) while saving fuel ^^

@_ApexPredator was 2, 3 seconds behind me and I was trying hard not to make mistakes. ^^ I managed to save enough fuel to go the last lap 100% full throttle and did my fastest lap I was saving in case I'd make a mistake or he would get close.

 

[Veinz]

Can't find my rhythm with the 86 yet, not consistent enough over the race distance.

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Just had a clean win at Blue Moon. It is possible.

I had one of those as well, in SR.C, starting 6th. Although what the game calls clean wasn't really clean as I still got bumped into the wall a few times. Clean race bonus anyway, for once it didn't throw SR Down arrows at me for not miraculously jumping out of the way

Yeah it's much easier to run a competitive race in the Megane; I feel I drove a lot better last night but one-stopping the Porsche just wasn't fast enough.
You looked pretty comfortable out in front I got caught up in a couple of battles in the early laps so didn't really have the fuel to take it to you in the second stint - nice racing with you all these past couple of nights

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Will be back on about 7.30ish, will keep an eye out for you if you're still about.

Well I managed to get some races in between about 7 to 9:30 but I just lost my temper with it after one Race C which
saw me drop into SR C so I need to stop tonight or I will just get myself worked up.

Had a couple of decent races at Blue Moon Bay, a second place and two wins (2nd place was in the Evo) and the
wins were in the Audi R8 LMS and the BMW Z4 GT3 but I got too much SR loss at Maggiore so I'm back down to C
which sucks.

It's really beginning to wind me up that I can't get above SR B without taking a huge drop in DR by having to be a
back runner but I guess reality is saying I will never be an SR S again unless some miracle happens with a good
race week.

Arggh! The booting at warm up, again...

No one's gonna complain about track limits on Race C? It's scary that people are getting used to this to the point that only more extreme extensions get noticed...

I've done a 2:04.713 for Race C without cutting/extending Turn 4 and the esses in Maggiore, but I don't have the motivation to play. I'm grinding my alt account but that stopped after 3 races. Man I'm not feeling it today

Same. Played once in the M4 and thought about using the Vantage, but got booted twice. Still, wasn't feeling up to racing. Did play a bit of the FH4. Maybe I just want to cruise around.

 

[Veinz]

I’ve been so close to getting into the 2:04s multiple times but I always manage the make a small error somewhere. 2:05.5 is my fastest with the Wrx, I can run low-mid 2:06s in the race if i push, but I cannot do that for more than 2-3 laps or I burn too much fuel which costs me even more time.

The racing in race c has been really good though despite seeing a megane winning pretty much everytime. I absolutely loathe that car.

Also please bring FIA track limits to the daily races, PD.

Oh by "clean" I mean what any reasonable person would call clean. Although when I posted that I did actually get the clean race bonus, I was amazed.

I'm looking forward to the weekend when all the casuals turn up.

Is there a DR after A+? I'm trying to fill my A+ (was an S before o.o) and it takes a lot of time. If I have to do the same with DR S, I'll die before it's done. :/

Spoiler: When you're in the zone, kinda

DR A+ functions exactly like DR S before the FIA GT Championships 2018 Series update. The new DR S requires you to register for a Star Player status, which can only be acquired if you place yourself in the Top 200 in your region or the Top 10 in your country/manufacturer in Seasons 1 and 2, and make sure your country is eligible for the Star Player Registration Form (Portugal is one of those eligible countries).

No, A+ is the highest, 50K DR to 75K DR.
DR S is a special status, based on your standing within the region you live in (or chose when the game asked you to for FIA races). You can be DR.S while your DR is only B or even D. Once you get the DR.S notification even a DR reset won't take it away afaik.

Great consistency!

@RZQSPEED @Sven Jurgens

Thank you! I didn't know about this.

So I guess I'll need to race one of the Nations Cup season? Any one will do, right? Season 1 is happening and then comes the 2nd. This should last 2 months and a half.

Not that I'm worried but if there's only a couple of seasons during the whole year to get it, I don't want to miss it. I filled all the criteria during test seasons but then I stopped playing.

Time to practice Gr.1 around Maggiore

You can only acquire DR S in the Official Seasons, so you have to wait until the 2019 Official Season to get one

:/ that sucks. It means I can't enter top 24 races anymore until next year. :facepalm:

 

[sturk0167]

These disconnects are getting to be a real problem. I'm hard-wired, with a strong connection, and get disconnected regularly. Is it being addressed?

 

[Hasnain282]

Next week's races:
- N100 one make - Monza No Chicane - 3 laps, grid start with false start check
- gr.4 - Mount Panorama - 3 laps - Rolling start
- gr.3 - Tokyo Expressway East Outer Loop - 10 laps - Rolling start - Fuel x6, Tyre Wear x9

 

[sturk0167]

3 times in a row, now. What a pos! As if the weeklies weren't enough to make me want to quit.

 

[Sven Jurgens]

Battle moon bay is last man standing tonight. I just won a race as the 2 cars in front of me had 6 sec in penalties while the one without penalties got DQ'd in the final corner. (he got hit from behind by one of the 6 sec carriers and disappeared). I had no penalties and decided to stay back in the final corner which payed off. Still a red rating again from getting hit all race long. Blue moon royale!

22K DR / 26 SR listed as DR.C with DR over half way through DR.B lol. At least I'm not getting reset today nor DQ'd, so far...

I had an awesome close battle with a Brazilian and American, swapping places contact free to a 3-way very close finish, great adrenaline rush. I got second, best race in a long time.

Then a dirty driver shows up and starts ruining races again. I had him in 3 races, reported all three, won't matter. He kept pushing people into the wall, always diving into T1 and somehow getting away without a penalty. For example here I get the penalty for his driving.

It's the car in third. At least he's off to SR.E for a little bit after that last race.

This is why I stay away from Race A and B, they always have the most **** racers.

So close to greatness, although we already had GR.3 Panorama for race C. Sprint in GR.4 is both boring and another SR death trap. Still no N24

Did you reboot in between disconnections? Once it happens the first time it keeps happening. At least the disconnects that send you straight back to the race select screen.

I see people disappearing every race when the room opens. I had 2 disconnects yesterday, today it's working fine. I'm on Wifi with an unstable isp and kids streaming all the time. I have no clue what's causing it.

 

[AverageRacer]

Wow. Just disconnected after winning race C, before getting to the victory screen etc. Now I haven't got the win, what an absolute joke. Go through the whole race fine without a hitch and then I'm booted when it finishes. Keep up the great work Polyphony! /s

If you DC, a quick check if you're still going to be afflicted by this is to start a lobby, if you get disconnected from the lobby you have to restart the game to unglitch it.

Speak of the devil Booted right back to the race select screen next race.
Test network connection is fine "this is a good network" 47ms ping to wherever the serve may be.
I can enter lobbies just fine.

However, I'm rebooting anyway just in case and touch some metal or whatever superstitious people do. Now I have time to do the dishes

Initially, I thought it was a bit understandable to have a glitch in the system here and there. But this is getting out of control. We are, after all, paying for something we can't use properly. All the free games in the world they give us for being PS+ members doesn't add up the the sheer amount of aggravation we are all having to endure due to their shoddy servers. They need to fix this before they really start to lose customers.

Is that a Barbados flag? Looks dope.

 

[GTP_randy]

Just turned on the PS4 and there's a psn update. Maybe it'll address the disconnects or is it definitely on PD's end?

It's on PD's end since the last update. I did the PSN update already and got the boot back to race select screen a few races ago. Last race 3 people ended up not joining the room.

Small steps, I managed to get back to SR.B on BMB exclusively, 25.6k DR already, it's so slow to gain SR but it is possible. Slowly rising from the ashes, almost halfway there. However with the weekend coming up

 

[the_boy]

Got a BMB win from pole a few hours ago, I may try again later

 

[K1LLD0z3R]

Perhaps it’s simply PD / Sony. Just a simple timing slip? Now we got 6 Sony.

How are those discos?
