The first of the next round of Daily Races won’t be up for another 45 minutes. Hoping for another Group 3 Race C - I forgot how much I enjoy these cars.

The goal of the game is to race, not "level" up. DR is representing your race pace. Just enjoy DR:B and if you eventually move up to A great. If not, so what?

C. GR.1 on Big Willow, 16 laps, fuel x7, tires x11
B. Tokyo East inner loop Supra RZ, 3 laps sports tires
A. Suzuka Skyline GR-R V, 3 laps sports tires

GR.1 on Big Willow with lag will be fun...

Monza was slightly better without the first chicane. Not much though, I got hit just about every time in the second chicane. If you get stuck in the chaos you can easily lose 10 SR or more. With getting hit in the chicane and the rest clean, the most you can usually regain is 1 SR point.

It took 11 races to climb back to 94 from 66, for two dirty A/S race to drop me back down to 66. With a lovely punt that gave me 10 sec penalty, then a couple more punts in other corners. Should have quit when I was ahead!

I did get 9 wins out of Monza today thanks to the SR drop. Including this pinball move to victory.

I guess the guy behind me was determined to make me win.

PD needs to communicate more about dr points. I gained some positions and after the race I got the screen about the great race I drove. But after checking my stats I decreased in DR with 750p (but grey B in the overview at the end of the game). Maybe it should be an idea to show us when dr and sr are changing. Maybe a counter or something. It sucks that PD is telling me that I drove a great race but my stats are decreased..

You get this message if you increase positions in the race - that is all. However, firstly this presumes that you have set a qualifying time equal to that expected of your DR - in which case, gaining positions from 12 to 8 means you have exceeded your ability (in which case you would get a significant boost as you have finished ahead of some other competitors with a higher DR than yourself). If you just do a few qualifying laps and jump in (or non at all even) yeah you could gain 5 positions but still finish 15th, meaning 14 people have beaten you and will take points off you. I agree that the message is confusing as it is pretty irrelevant, so use the simple logic that you must finish top half to gain points (and also not let anyone with a lower driver rating letter beat you).

Aaaand, I did pick the Lexus in the end! :D
Usually I'm 2secs behind the Top10 Guys, but today, I managed 1.5secs. As a Controller guy, this is huge (IMO) :O
In two races, I haven't seen a single Lexus, but one fast guy in a GTR in front of me. The rest seem to pick M6 and 911s

And I did meet @Nuschel01 again at Interlagos. Even though he was behind me this time and we didn't really meet on track. But the race was awesome! Lots of fair fights. I wish I had more time to do another one....:(

I used the Lexus too :) didn't have a great race though to be honest, Started 13th and managed to scrape 9th. Bloody 911s everywhere!

I did a few races last night and came out with a win (#27). I like these stock cars as a change of pace. You definitely have to finesse the car around the track. But it's a nice change of pace from the full-on race cars that are rigid and drive with a more on rails feel.

Same 👍 I have a lot of fun in the one-makes, it feels much more even as well.

Its a devil to keep the car from sliding, but this means that a tiptoe, no slide approach means that in BB bracket I got pole and a win by a mile, because everyone behind was sliding around all over the place! (my clean race was ruined when a ghosted backmarker reappeared JUST in time to trigger a silly penalty for me)

TCS off, CSA on and gentle throttle worked for me :)

The Skyline took a few laps to tame but is very rewarding once you get a feel for it. Did about 30 qualifying laps and managed to get to 34 for the UK. Unfortunately despite getting two poles, I lost my cool in both races and finished second.

Had two races at Interlagos last night with the Viper but what a difference. First one qualyfied on pole and drove start to finish for win (apart from 1 lap around pit stop). About 900 dr points in the bag. Second race, about an hour later, same qualifying time, but started 16th. Managed a clean race although there was some bumping in the mid field I am told, and finished 12th. A loss of about 100 dr points. Overall, really enjoyed both races, especially now it is a little longer and everyone has to pit.

:banghead: another day of bad luck for me.

I dont like Gr.1 because its to fast for me and Big Willow is not really a favourite track like tokio to.

And Suzuka in a roadcar? :indiff:

Hope for good Track/ Car in the FIA Races

FIA Races aren't today, but I think the Skyline on full Suzuka is great. If it was on Suzuka East, there'd be no overtaking, no variation, people would become too desparate.

Is it Suzuka full circuit then?
 
Race A seems pretty easy today, managed a Q time of 2.26.4 and got lot of poles with this.
The problem is that I'm very often pushed off track in the first lap and that ruins my races...:sick::indiff:

Is there a way to view the leaderboards other than Top10 + Freinds ranking? If I’ve missed this then I’d love to know how?

Not as such, but you can see your own rank.

This site also has a page showing certain data from each race, such as position started and finished, SR losses and gains etc. :)

I'm on the same boat...don't think I'll manage to plat this game, not before the year 2030 at least xD

Possibly by that time, the next GT game will be out (unless it gets delayed).

No good races today, no FIA races. May get to finish that Toyota gr3 livery. Making a black version of the car.

It’s my own jobs that hold me up, her jobs are like put the washing in the machine, can do that in between races. My jobs are like “hmm I think that radiator needs changing today”

Who was the SS player? For most people no pitstop was a no go yesterday. What lap times did he run doing this also and his overall time?
