"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[RZQSPEED]

So I was looking at the top times in asia/pacific for race c and of course the fastest time is using the track exploit.

Yeah...not seeing Shooter, Rk9, and Chonko up into the leaderboards just feels weird and suspicious (unless you look at the Road Car leaderboards that is). Tukushi is the only guy that I checked their Best Lap Replay that took the chicane proper, while the other two (Zodz and BhinBhin, 10th and 1st respectively) skipped the chicane...

It's the last night of race B. I've loved this combo and got faster and faster all week.

Had some great battles tonight keeping it clean and oh so close. Loved it. I've maybe got one more race in me before I have to leave it.

Qually is now down to a 2.26.397.

 

[GA 52]

Congratulations mate, unfortunately, it just gets harder as you head towards the next 10k barrier !!!



There's a 2:26.782 saved under my profile on the ps4 on your friends list.

Found it

 

[Pigems]

What an awesome week it’s been on Race B, topped off tonight with a pair of Wins, a 2nd, and a pair of 3rds in some great rooms. I got a front row seat in one race to a wicked 3 way battle and ended up finishing third in that race due to one of the three getting squirrelly in the second last corner and spinning out. Also had a few good battles myself. I’m finishing the week off at DR 47,135, if next weeks races are anything like this weeks, 50k should be achievable by the end of next week.

20 race entries in race A, won about 15 of them. It helps when you have a qualification lap #23 @ 1’28.592 & pace close to it. Would have had about 50 wins & maybe a top 10 time, if I still didn’t have a job on the side (I own houses & rent them out)

Garbage day today at catalunya
Nothing but punters punting me off. But I’m the bad guy and totally a cheater because I qualified pole on a track that has more grip than in race mode for some reason and I actually had my sanity?
No wonder I quit this game in February. Pretty sure I’ve seen teenagers on the road with more driving sense than these drivers in S SPORTSMANSHIP RATING DAILIES.
Screw this game. I have more fun in public lobbies than sport mode, with better drivers too!
/ end rant sorry about it but I had to vent that one off. Screw those accusators
Edit: Think I went a little too overboard haha. Whoops.
Learned my lesson to not play on Sunday night when it comes to sport mode for sure!
We learn to get better, right? Learn through death.

New races are up here in the US!

Happy with Race C for this week.

Hopped in qualifying and put down a 2:56.940 on my third lap.

Right now, it has me at #1 on the leaderboards by over 6 seconds, but I feel like the aliens are on their way in their flying saucers to show me what a truly fast lap around this track with the X2014 is..

So it is the x2014, after all.
Is that no chicane? Cause that’s a fast lap.

Seeing as PD had added additions such as penalty zones to Sport Mode plus there is a chance of getting a crew chef in the future I lifted my boycott for one race to see what, if any parts of Weekly Races have been improved... and I made it a last to first challenge.

Hi guys, I'm very new to the Sport Mode (previously been playing GT League only... didn't have the time).

After completing the "racing etiquette" courses, I was able to join, qualify & race the Daily Races for about 2 hours during the day. But at the next day, I couldn't "join" the Daily Races nor the Lobby -- instead I was prompted to join the PS Plus membership (which I never had).

Just want to confirm if I do need that PS Plus subscription if I were to race in Sport Mode again? Was it a complimentary access to the Sport Mode as a first-timer?

Thanks heaps~

yep you need a ps plus subscription, its on sale now until the 27, 40 instead of the regular 60,if you want to play online that's the only way

This is the version with the chicane. Makes it fun trying to hit the braking points on worn tires in the race!

Out of fear of the aliens arriving, I went into focused-mode and was able to get down to a 2:55.805.

I feel like there’s at least half a second left. I keep bottling it in the Ford Chicane. The problem is, I have to string together an entire perfect lap before getting there, so it’s a long process of trying to get those last chicanes right on a lap that’s actually been perfect beforehand!

We’ll see how it goes as the week progresses.

What’s the car on race a please?

It would be nice if you guys could post what races are on for this week?

[Lost Sheltie]

Figured that it would be the X2014 for Race C this week, so spent last night doing the most important thing - making my car look pretty
Now lets hope there are no massive track cuts.

Thank you very much

Now I know that I have nothing to look forward to this week. Seaside backwards? No thanks. RedBull? Not in my garage.
Better luck next week I guess!?

 

[manion]

Asia/pacific are already down into 2.53s. I accidently had a time count because apparently the first practice lap still counts even with penalties so I have a 3.37 qually time until later this week.

Coming through the field is...interesting also sr hell dropped to 77 after a couple of races back to 86 now. Porsche curves are can be taken flat even on lap 6 and people dont realise it so you come through there with huge speed differences and then people try and block, ends up in tears every time.

 

[Cornaboyzzz]

Nothing too appealing for me this week, Dragon Trail is nothing like Kyoto... I like the RX-7 though. Maybe I'll get a few laps in Tsukuba.

 

[sundaydriving]

I dont have the car or 3mil for race C. Oh well.

Your SR will thank you for not participating in race C

 

[headdertz]

Yeah, so do I... that sucks that they use such car for a daily race.... :/

 

[manion]

Hmm disconnects seem bad was just loading into a race with a grid of 20, down to 11 at race start

If you go to the PS store you can find a free 14 day trial.

Pretty sure there's at least two turns you can completely cut here since they relaxed the track limits, well unless the last update fixed this without mentioning it.

Guys, I'm obviously doing something wrong with daily race and racing in general.

I look at your amazing graphics in this thread, where you get thousands of DR in15-16 days, and then look at my (and cry).

Any advices?

 

[rono_thomas]

Guys, I'm obviously doing something wrong with daily race and racing in general.

It’s fairly simple DR is fluid it increases and decreases depending on your finishing position. How much of a change depends in how strong a field of racers you race. It is not something you collect like xp.

1. Set a good qually time
2. Finish as high as you can
3. Your DR will increase until you reach your natural level.

thousands of DR in15-16 days

Thats pretty specific 15-16 days, it has nothing to do with time in any way, any reason why you chose that?

 

[ASH32]

@GarikFirst If you can post a video it would be easier to know what you are doing wrong but using more track is always possible and it's likely you'll be able to make big gains there, also use manual transmission if you are not already and don't use TC if possible.

Another thing I see a lot from lower rated drivers is they either brake way early and are far too careful or they slide through the corners like a mad man after braking too late and lose loads of time, somewhere in the middle of all that is good.

Thank you for your reply, I understand, that DR can go up or down depending on wins, it’s not like xp, and not time bound. But, I see, that my dynamic in getting DR up less, than other guys, it’s only because I not winning often? What should I do - get a wheel and pedals?

What does Kudos show your K speed as?
