Thanks @ASH32

Hmmmm. Not massively enthused by any of them tbf :lol:

Maggiore race is okay if a bit dull. GR1 no way I'm going near it lol. Fuel race is too much work for lazy me.

I don't mind the 208 tbh, nice to slow things down every now and then.

I will avoid Monza like the plague though, went from SR B to D in the 10 lapper last Friday. Awful circuit for online racing.

Race B it is. Probably going to be horrible SR-wise.

I did a couple of the Gr.1 Monza races. It went about as well as you'd expect. A sea of red SR, people punting others into the sand, shoving them off the track in turns, driving full-bore over the medians. Weeping and gnashing of teeth. It was chaos and carnage and a lot of bad karma. Never again.

UnkaD · Feb 1, 2018

Just did a Gr.1 Monza race.

Fifth to last in the first corner, then back up to 6th by the end of the lap before being punted again... and again

I did manage to finish with a white SR amongst the sea of red.

If I even needed any more convincing... :lol:

nord_clane · Feb 1, 2018

As mentioned, don't drive Gr.1 @ Monza. People lose their brains on that track...

UnkaD · Feb 1, 2018

It's too bad. I absolutely LOVE driving the TS050 on Monza. Will try again tomorrow with my wheel and see if I can utilize the 5 D's to full extent.

nord_clane · Feb 1, 2018

I went from SR S to B in one race today. Just because of people punting into me and driving unpredictable right in front of me. You just can't avoid them

That’s so sad. I‘d really like to enter some races more often but this is the reason why I don’t do. There definitely need to be some serious changes in Matchmaking.

For example people who have managed to stay for a certain period of time in Sr.S should only be matched with similar people. It’s just a simple algorithm that PD should be able to use for matchmaking. I don’t get it :banghead:

Yes, I don't disagree.

Only good if you like crashing into others to get past. I bet todays races are perfect for a very small number of people.

The A race is safe enough though?

Too short and they'll still be pushing going on, if not the flat out punting that'll be in the other races.

psyller911 · Feb 1, 2018

The gr 4 mount panorama race sounds fun, gr 1 meh, and that damn peugeot again... like wtf? Its okay to slowing things down but at least give us a proper car then pls?

Phoenix · Feb 1, 2018

88 wins of 198 completed races.

Not long until the 91 trophy pops up. :cheers:

Pole position in the daily one-make at Maggiore, 2nd place rammed me on the inside halfway in the 1st lap, and went about 3 seconds ahead.
I made it my life mission to get back at him and punted him off in one of the last corners of lap 2. Got a 16 second penalty which I managed to shake in the 3rd and final lap somehow and cruised on to win.

I hate driving dirty, but if that's how people wanna race, that's what they get. :lol:

And again a day where i'm leaving the PS4 off. A little bit more races a day where fine. Mount Panorama is a crash track in the village above, Monza too. But that are general really cool tracks, and i love it to race them, but not for sport mode. And the Peugot Race... meh... makes no fun... no matter on which track
