Just So boring, totally agree with all the others who have expressed disappointment. Terrible choice yet again. They need to start doing at least 5 daily races now if they're going to keep pushing this crappy selection on us with stupid little shopping cars for days in a row, who cares about those cars anyway?!

What it needs is 1 long race of about 40 minutes featuring either GR1, 3 or 4. Then 2 of the usual 10 lap races featuring each of the unused previous categories and then the other 2 slots can be filled up with silly little hatchbacks your nan would buy. And finally, no top level races at ovals - No one wants them, ever!
 
One make races are the most fair races atm with the still bad bop system.
But I agree we need a few more dailies like dedicated nurb daily etc.
 
Hi, I don't mind single make due to no advantage in the car, however the cars they choose are stupid , I've only seen the KTM once, and never the Honda 2&4 which is great fun and the sort of car people should be driving in order to learn , how about all 3 races using the Honda but in different stages of tune, something like that , be inventive, while I'm on this the game needs more track focused road cars, BAC MONO, CATERHAM, LOTUS, AERIAL , not more race/road cars, I'm worried if they don't get on top of the choices they make it's starting to get stale, the other thing I think would help would at least be some sort of trophy room to collect cups when you place on the podium as otherwise for the majority of people there's no real reward for winning as I've got no chance of winning a season but after 40 odd wins it would be nice to see where I've done best .

Thought I’d give it another go, same ****, just a different race. Was leading, fastest lap, got taken out, ended up at the back, working my way up to 13th taken out again. Had it with sport mode, going to buy FiFA 18.

I had an absolute shocker in the Gr4 at Nurburgring yesterday. In qualifying 2 slower cars wiped me out as I made very clean passes. I was left with one lap to get a good time in. I ended up .03 off pole to a TT. Come the 1st corner, lap 1, TT slightly misses braking point, I gain on him and we are now side by side. Turn 2 and 3 we remain side by side, clean. However at turn 4 I am on the inside, he fails to notice and turns in on me (This is why people MUST start using their radars). Turn 5 I'm still to the right hand side of the track, side by side we remain clean. Turn 6 once again I'm on the inside. An exact repeat of turn 4. With that after exiting he then takes a massive right hand lunge at me but thankfully his car ghosted and went straight into the tyre wall.
So he was now not an issue, took himself out. By lap 5 I now have a comfortable 7 second lead and aim to go for a pit in. Come to turn 9 and I see a slow back marker. It's only the loon in the TT. he waits until I approach then starts slowly weaving in front of me, braking hard causing me to hit him. I then get a penalty. I get past him, go to pit in and he comes up with no brakes and wipes me out on pit entry. So I have to carry on for another lap. Get near the pits and he's still there, attempts the same but fails. I get to do my pit stop having well and truly lost my lead. I come out of the pits and guess what? Yep he's waiting and slams me off at turn 1. I recover and attempt to complete the race but he's now chasing me and as soon as the next opportunity arose he wiped me out again. So I quit. I was bloody fuming, never known anything like it.
I wish there had been a way to report him but obviously because i quit i was back to the main menu. Didn't even make a mental note of the idiots name. It's people like that who make you forget the dozens of great races you have and rage at the system. Sadly the system can't combat idiots like him. The weak part of the game will always be the fleshy part holding the controller.
 
2 races with the Cayman on Brands Hatch.
Got matched with way to many SS racers (3 of them from the Top10) and started 13th and 11th.
In both races I got pushed of the track from the same spanish driver. He even continued to push people of track. No penalties and no red SR for him. How? And why always those spanish guys?
Damn, that annoyed me...

I'm waiting for the FIA races now and take a break :crazy:
 
Got my first ever Sport mode win. That Blue Moon Speedway race was intense and I applaud that for my first ever Sport mode race thanks to the free multiplayer weekend promo that Sony made.

The guy in the Beetle (12th place) did a good job on defending his spot but unfortunately in the last lap he ran out of fuel and that's where I took advantage and won the race.

Nah, it will be Swift at Suzuka East or Brands hatch indie.
 
WOW!! So much negativity!!

Just had 3 races in Brandshatch this morning...
Never drive the Cayman before (had to buy it) and actually liked the car...
Got a decent qualification...
3 poles
3 great races with clean fighting for the first positions.
3 Wins
3 clean races....

Will definitely go again later, I know I can do a better qualification



As for the other races... maybe I’ll try the Swift later, nothing against it.... and race C, I admit, I don’t know how to drive in Oval tracks, I don’t like and find them boring (no corners to cut)....

Had a number of races at Alsace tonight. On the whole fairly clean and good racing. However, why is it that ALL the spanish drivers I tried to send messages to using Playstation messaging, had their messages restricted so that they couldn't receive messages !! How strange, I couldn't think for what reason that would be for :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I don't have messages restricted if that helps with something :lol: BTW alsace races were pretty good last night, clean and competitive.
 
I'm going to slightly retract my earlier statement, but only about the Porsche race at Brands. I've just done 2 races there. First one i started last and managed to work my way up to 5th, bagging fastest lap in the process. That gave me confidence to qualify for the next race in the aim of a top 10 slot. I got pole! Lead it all the way again getting fastest lap and eventually winning by 12 seconds! After watching the replay it really bought it back to me from watching the Porsche Carrara Cup races supporting the BTCC at Brands. Many a time have I watched them all plunging down Paddock Hill, holding my breath awaiting carnage but being amazed at their skills holding it all together. But what really took me back was the sound of all those Caymans grouped together - just like the Carrara Cup!

<shrug> I'm enjoying today's dailys thus far. Could have done without being punted off the track in both races thus far. I didn't mind chugging the little swift around the park. I do find it a bit irksome when people don't bother to qualify, especially when they are two DR up and then come crashing through the field. Brands hatch was a bit of a disaster that ended up better than expected. Got punted into the kitty litter, dropped to last place, but managed to finish 4 places up on my start.
 
@thestig911 Just for the sake of curiosity, you mentioned that you were in the Blue Moon Speedway daily race, what car were you using? I think we might be in the same race that time.
 
Gaa! Blue Moon was a disaster. Auto drive decided to run me into a stationary car at the start, then I was rear ended by multiple cars and finally spun out. Then I could start the race!
 
Blue Moon is one of my top 2 or 3 favorite tracks! I get excited when I see it's daily. Jumping on to qualify soon. Based on the responses above, I hope I'm not racing alone today...
 
The swift race has been really fun so far, so many salty drivers ramming and doing brake checks but really enjoying myself encouraging them :lol:
 
Did some races on Brands Hatch today, always startet in top 5 because I clocked a high 1:29 but then I often either loose my **** and go wide or somebody just wrecks me because he didn‘t expect me to brake or something.
Scored a win nonetheless but mainly because the guy in P1 removed himself from the track after turning into me :lol: After the race I was acused to be driving dirty...
