Daily Race C is easily doable with no stop, at least it's how i did with the 908 HDi although the R18 is hard to pass up or any LMP1. The acceleration demolishes my car.


Did I understand you ttight hat the R18 didn't need to fill any gas?

I've done it with the 908 HDi but i i don't know about the others, you don't need to switch up tyres either and if you can fuel save correctly you can do it.

I did 2 laps of 1 Fuel efficiency then switched to 4 at 3rd and 4th lap. Last lap went back to 1 and had 1.3 of fuel and arrived with 0.1.

If i qualified and drove better that would have got me a victory (from 16th place to 6th place).
 
First race up for the night. Race B. I put in some laps and rolled the dice. P10/15. I was one of 3 DR/Ds. There was a B and the rest Cs. 1s quicker would get me P5. It seems the 911 is the weapon of choice at the moment :odd:. Pole was running a WRX, as was I.

The race got started and it had me with a 1s or so gap approaching T1, so I could brake comfortably without getting creamed. I wasn't doing too badly, although I had only managed to make up 2 places. Then I started to make mistakes and I was being hounded for most of the the 3rd lap :scared:. Coming up to the chicane we were side by side. I decided to brake early and let him through. He would have passed me earlier, but I kept blocking him in the process of getting into position for each corner. He was patient. I found myself for a time in the position he was in. Right on his bumper with better speed, but getting blocked fairly. Finished P9. The winner was a 'vette, followed by four 911s.

SR maintained. I thought with all those Cs I might have got some points. I lost about 20. Better than a kick in the head :sly:. Next up, the midnight run for race C with Group C.

It's really poor for Polyphony to not even make the weekly race changes a bit more varied. The 'slow car at Suzuka East' is there so much the last few months. Group 3, as much as it is a popular group, is there way more than it could be, meanwhile stuff like Group 2 has practically been forgotten.
 
Come on man. I know its GTSport so they want only GT3 races but I would love to see some N300, N600 races. I swear I remember seeing these type of races before it went weekly. Ugghh :(.
 
Pretty sure this is the third time in maybe just over a month we have had the mini at suzuka.... wtf. I mostly run race a and this is actually killing the game for me.

It's not a bad combo, but i wouldn't want any combo that often

Started to drop a lot with the DR, sort of didn't expect to do so many errors in Suzuka and my mind was sort of chill about it.
So i switched up to a Z4, chilled from last place (14th) and watched the madness unfold, placed 6th place with 0 effort:confused:

And just had a race with a RCZ constantly brake checking and illegal blocking.
"Oblivious" that brake in a straight line in the middle of the racing line (pretty much right after spoon).
And got a WRX that forced me off track before the triangle, amazing.

Illegal blocking is becoming an ever greater problem in the game. Especially in Suzuka last week I had some races in which was very extremely blocked. I think that's because such a thing is hardly recognized by the penalty system and therefore hardly punished.
 
Race 2 and it's out with the Group C Jag. I jumped in with only 2 laps qualy, and found myself P8/15 on a grid with a couple of DR/As, 5x Bs, 3 x Cs and the rest Ds with P10-15 non qualifiers. There was a few Group C cars on the grid.

Race starts and there was a small breathing space at the first chicane. On the straits we decimated the hybrids, but I had to brake very early for corners. Some of the other cars were not making clean passes and I accumulated 6s in penalties trying to keep forward travel. On the final lap someone slid out then slammed into me into the sand when they came back onto the track, which not only got me an orange SR, but a very lazy re-spawn :banghead:. So down another place I went, and 9s to the car behind me once I gathered momentum again. I finished P10.

Was hoping for maybe a few DR points, but I lost 60. SR still 99. Tomorrow I think I'll try the Nissan Group C. Another day above DR 1 :crazy:.

I hardly even play anymore. It's sad. So sick of basically the same crap every week. I only play on Wednesdays and Saturdays now.
 
Cheated a bit registering a pedestrian 3:27 with R18 before using C9 for the Race C dailies.

1st race is dumb, I spin myself 3 times... subsequent races are better and come out 700 Dr ahead.

Matchmaking is weird, SR never dropped below 90, but got starting position from 2nd to 9th.

C9 pace is good, not losing too much against modern and future Gr. 1, but will be beaten by the no stoppers handily. Enjoy racing the Grp Css before it last!
 
Is this the third time the Mini Cooper race at Suzuka East has come up as was it not up 2 weeks ago?

Not complaining but I wonder why that one keeps making a reappearance.

I'm going to be in Race C this week at some point as going for another of my Last to Win attempts with Grp1 class vehicles and hopefully
with video if my PS4 keeps behaving and allows me to upload!
 
So in the race C, some top 10 guys (maybe more...) are cutting the Dunlop chicane and Ford chicane in this Gr1 Sport mode weekly race... I understand people do it because it's "allowed" at the moment but morally common... @PolyphonyDigital can you fix the track limits please ? At least have the same track limits in the lobbys. Thank you.
@mclaren6 I'm watching you :P

still the same connection issues during the track loading , goddamnit PD! nevertheless GR3/nurb GP is probably my favorite , gonna put RDR 2 on hold for the week ^^
 
Loving Le Mans in the lm55 last night, havent qualified yet just no stopping from the back and picked up a couple of wins. The 4wd helps so much in the slow corners and the 8 speed is awesome on the straights. Managed a best race lap in the 3.25s

Tetra Rouge is the worst, some laps it's a penalty others it's not when you're on a identical line.

Last time we had Gr.1 there was tuning allowed and my races were getting absolutely demolished by a Brazilian who was doing a no-pit strategy. He was winning by 20-30 seconds, it was insane.

I might give this a shot. historically I would do 1 stop no tire change. Will report back.
 
No-stop is the way to go in Race C. Every race I’ve been in so far has been won by a no-stopper in the top split lobbies.

Seeing 17:25’s take the win. I’m gonna work on getting that lower. Before I knew the strategy I did a one-stop and finished like 8s behind the winner with no mistakes, so it can be done but if everyone races perfect a no-stopper wins every time I think...with the right car choice that is.

Update: 17:19.3, fastest winning time I’ve seen so far. If you can beat that with a pit stop, let me know!

Managed to get a win with the Corvette in the Nurburgring Group 3 race, but it wasn't given to me easily. I had to fight until the last chicane to win it, albeit a bit cheekily. I was on the outside coming into the braking zone and the Porsche in second chose the inside, meaning we went side by side through the chicane. I pushed him a little exiting the chicane and kept my place. The guy in second didn't complain, thankfully.

I gave the C9 a go in Race C, and it didn't go too badly. That car is super quick in a straight line but doesn't have the same grip as the newer cars. I came fourth rather unexpectedly after starting 6th. I was the fastest out of the guys who pitted, which to me, is a win. I was 39 seconds behind the leader when I crossed the line. What's more is that I set the fastest lap of the race.

That is usually the way to go in sarthe, no real advantage with new tires compared to the pit time, just shift a little early throughout the race and all should be good, dependant on car, diesels get the job done with torque
 
Anyone score a W with group c cars in daily race c? Was thinking of giving it a go just for fun
 
Big regrets picking the R18 and thinking it'd be similar to the 908.
With the Peugeot i can do 2 laps with 1 fuel efficiency while the R18 i can't even think on doing that, it cost me so many seconds.
