"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[ARTAsean]

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

What the F man, cmon. This is getting ridiculous. What are they doing to this game

 

[Hogga_Dogga]

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

I restart the game after every race now since the update. Haven't been disconnected at all.

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

I decided to give it another chance after reading this. I'm ranked A/S, and on my first race today I won and got a clean race. That race, I started 2nd, and me and the leader broke away from everyone else after 3rd or 4th screwed up the 1st turn and backed everyone else up. After that, we continued to pull away from everyone by just not battling each other - no bump drafting at all, just me following him until he made a mistake in Turn 3 and tagged the wall, which allowed me to get by him quickly without compromising the next corner. Apparently he had a penalty for the wall contact because he kept backing off and ghosting behind me, and eventually finished more than 4 seconds behind me.

2nd race of the day and I started from pole and won again, but lightly grazed the wall once, so no clean race, but still a blue SR at the end of it. I finished 2nd in the next race, again with blue SR. After that, I got dumped back to the Sport Mode main menu 3x in a row when trying to join another race, so I gave up for the night...

Also, I did all of this with my Corvette, a car that used to be terrible at BMB due to its lack of straight line speed, and its so-so cornering when compared to the Evo's. I used to use the Mustang for all the Gr. 3 BMB races, and would qualify about 0.2s faster in it than in the 'Vette. After the tire model update, I'm now about 0.2s faster in my 'Vette than my 'Stang, and now I have 3 wins in the 'Vette at BMB when before I could never get higher than 2nd with it.

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

Dang you were in the zone alright. Now we need to figure out how that austrian guy is getting 2,05s on fuel save strat.

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

Oh dear. I’ve been away for three weeks and missed some god races, get home and those are the options? Simply awful.

Now I'll guess the Abarth 500 at Monza.

Looking forward to Mount Panorama, as it's the real Enduro championship for (V8) Supercars.

Why am I being disqualified?
I do not know since when this adjustment is in it, but it does cost the fun in GT Sport right now.

Why: Penalty system design flaw.

PD are experimenting on us to try and find a penalty system that works.

It seems to be very lenient now that I finally see it in action

This just looks like an unfortunate error.

 

[05XR8]

Did not expect the Atenza to do good in a see of 86s and Slophys. A couple Huracans thrown in to spoil the party as well.

4.6laps of fuel at the pitstop. Jumped about 3 cars. Caught and passed a conserving Slophy, held off a determined M4. Managed to gap it as it was trying a bit too hard in the final two laps.

Had no expectations. Just wanted to see what it could do. Front tyres wore normal. Rears weren't even showing red. Using the HUD rev meter, shifted in the middle and the car kept pace.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

I am confused now following the post about next week's races as it shows the ones mentioned above but also the
following:

Tokyo Expressway Central Outer Loop for N100 on 23/9
Brands Hatch GP Circuit on 24/9 for Grp 3
Tsukuba Circuit on 23/09 for N200 One Make from Garage.

I am guessing these are the following week 24/9 to 30/9 races?

The only enduro races worth watching have already been and gone from the mountain .

This game lmao

ACC can't come soon enough

Next week's races:

- gr.4 - Mount Panorama - 3 laps - Rolling start
- gr.3 - Tokyo Expressway East Outer Loop - 10 laps - Rolling start - Fuel x6, Tyre Wear x9

Another week of not playing GTS 👍 I absolutely hate this game right now and the stupid decision PD do every week don't do them any favours.

With the next week's races now focusing on power circuits, it could be the chance to pull out a Front Wheel Drive Gr.4 car since it will be Race B instead of Race C, which is set at Tokyo EOL, which is probably a Ford GT LM VS VGT fest...

Don't count the Mustang and GT-R out.

Don't count the Mustang and GT-R out.

That and probably the 650S GT3 as well (assuming that you are talking about the Tokyo race.)

Either that or they're adding some actual daily races in maybe

Hopefully! I'm hoping the N200 One Make race is for the Lancia Delta as that would be a cool one to race the Martini livery in!

Yes. Haven't tried the 650 GT3. Might buy one and try it on Bombbad Blue Bombay.

This is a car I keep meaning to race but never get round to using so will maybe try that and the Mustang.

Yesterday my adventure on BMB speedway wasn't very good, my SR went UP and Down..
At the end of the night thanks to many sabbatic races my SR returned at A .
The cause of the SR variation is always the supid or immature "player" that thanks to the "universal tool for superspeedway" a.k.a. LANCER EVO isn't capable to follow without push/hit the car in front (ME in this case ) ..
Often with a real fast player at the head of the race (S/S rank) they starts useless battle letting the S/S player to go and win alone with 5÷10 of vantage/gap...
--
In some races (OVAL and TOKYO) i like change car rotating my garage cars.
I have a personal rank for the oval racing, some cars are good other are disastrous , yesterday i started with a disastrous One the BMW M6 ... from SR S to A-low in 1 race starting 2nd .

How do one race N100 on Tokyo Express without falling asleep or developing some kind of muscle spasm ?

Good thing the new NHL game just came out.

They need to allow personal cars in race A, along with the choice of provided car. There is no reason not to.

Unlikely to happen, the whole point of Race A One Make was to keep everyone on the same settings, if you start adding personal cars
into the equation it opens up the tuning options so unless it's coded to disable any advantage from a garage car (i.e locked BOP)
it could make races biased to those who go for tuning/setup.

Apologies to anyone who was unfortunate enough to be in Race C at 22:30 with "SlXBlADEKNlFE" in the EMEA. I forgot to switch from wireless to LAN before I logged on. Lag was a complete pain for anyone around me but for myself it actually became very entertaining. It was pure nuts seeing all the cars in front of me spinning out and crashing into walls, hearing them smash into each other and then pop back onto the track 2 seconds ahead of me, my position jumping up 5 places and back down again. I had no idea where the other cars on the track really were and knew it was unfair on them so I settled with the idea that logging off would kill my DR so I had to pull in with hazards on and let everyone pass before just coasting to the end.

As for next week...10 laps of Tokyo in a GR3. Now there's a way to lose SR. Of course, that's if you have any SR points after a week on the Speedway.
