Was anyone in today’s Race B just a few minutes ago? There were 13 or 14 cars on the grid, followed by a weird delay prior to the rolling start, and then the bottom half getting completely wiped off the grid. Only 7 cars (myself included) were physically on the track.
 
DR almost A SR C. Quit 2 races, DR C SR D. Quit again and now i am DR D SR E.

I understood today quiting is bad for SR DR but how come i got demoted to DR C low from being almost A by quiting 2 races?

quitting is like you finished in last place, but you shouldn‘t drop from a high B to C or D in one or two races.
maybe it is related to the SR, dunno, is there a SR limit for DRs?
 
I don't mind if I have Maggiore all the time since I just love flow on Maggiore. But nah not that everyday, for now I avoid Monza cause track limit on Monza is too small for me.

​

That chicane on mid area is fun if I can get slay that area properly
 
Honestly, the morons driving on Bluemoon this evening. I was DRB, qualified 8th, worked my way up to 3rd, taken out by a complete idiot. Most people on that track do not know how to drive. Finished last, but set fastest lap. Rating down to DRC.

I had it set to +2 I was getting 2:02 lap times

thanks! I have done a very high 2:00 with 5 to rear, with opt around 2:00.5, but I don‘t see how I can get below 2:00 and I don‘t see a point even entering the race if I can‘t get below 2 minutes :-/

What‘s also strange is the brake balance setting for the N cars in the first place. You cannot change it in the car settings menu but while driving using the MFD it changes and also seems to have an effect. I wonder what the bug is here, that you can change it during driving or that you cannot change it in the settings menu. It can‘t be right the way it is now.
 
That annoys me no end, because you can’t set it, it will reset between qualifying and the race and I forget to change it. TCS also

I started as a B driver today. Real soon discovered every race is elbows out racing. More like 90's touring cars than clean racing.

Just leave it neutral at 0. And push ;)

Yes, it's your SR E rating that is making you DR D. You probably still have enough DR points to be DR B, but the game will not allow you to be DR B / SR E

Actually had watched your replay ;-)
Left me a bit clueless as I have to brake to turn 1 at 150m marker, otherwise no chance, hitting the brakes fully and in as straight line as humanly possible, but any later and I miss the apex big time. Others seem to brake where the curbs begin on the right hand side (must be ~30m later).
Will try with 0 now. At least did a 2:00.477 with 1 to rear in the meantime.

Actually it does remember it between (pre-race) quali and race, but not between races and between „standalone quali“ and race and what is worse: if you do not do the pre-race quali but enter the race directly, and then set it during warm up then it „forgets“ it between warm up and race!
I am always cycling through the MFD twice as the race starts during auto drive to make sure the stuff is set... the game made me almost paranoid about that!

Key Points are the Bus Stop and the fast esses. Obviously any corner but mastering those 2 should grant you a very low 2:00 or a very high 1:59

I had this too. My Sr dropped almost 40 points after this race. Unfortunately I was too mad to save the replay. My Sr dropped from a to c and it seemed to be impossible to grind back some point because of my good qualifying. This system is so ****ed up.

I was so proud of my srA :(

Yes thanks, the Ses downhill are my favourite part, the bus stop not so much... down to 2:00.1 now.
The exit to the start finish straight is crucial too though. Very hard for me to get right with this Audi after I did a lot of RWD training the last few days. The Audi feels like a boat compared to the RWD cars...
 
What I don't get is that from 4 races 1 was clean, 1 almost clean, and 2 were screwed by others. 1 in the first corner at maggiore by kicking me in the back and 1 because I made a small mistake and 2 guys thought it was a great idea to sandwich me in a corner where you can't takeover.

The clean races have little impact on my Sr so it seems, but the 2 other races have high impact. Why am I punished so hard for this?
 
Had a good session on Maggiore this evening over 6 races or so. Managed to get a good qualifying time giving me 56th fastest time, so I always started within the top 7. Messed up one race by catching the kerb and spinning which dropped me about 1000dr points, but overall, I managed to gain about 2000dr points

A few dirtbag racers from today :banghead:

There must be something in the air today as that looked like destruction derby!

I must say racing at Blue Moon this afternoon the driving standards were absolutely diabolical. Don't think I will be doing the ovals again in a hurry. Just absolute carnage
 
Here videos from two races featuring @PirovacBoy and me :)

First one is the "clean cut" :cheers:


And this the "dirty cut" :boggled:

Everyone was a bit off in this race, ending with me (honestly!) missing the braking point at turn one, resulting in a quite massive dive bomb :crazy:

Somehow I like the 1st one more, and yeah the 2nd one was a bit harder me missing my brake point with no chance to take the turn, and a text book divebomb executed on me. That’s racing. I forgive you, as it seemed like you were influenced by our „FRIEND“;)
 
Any tips for strategy in Daily C? Blue Moon Craziness!!!
I managed a TOP 10 time, but I don't know what to do in the race now.

I qualified outside top 10 by couple hundredths in F Type. That started me 4th in most races. I raced the RSR though because it’s much more stable out of the groove. It’s a little lacking power when you hit 6th gear, but the car is a breeze to drive in any groove. I ran top 5 every race. Led some laps but it was craziness.

Map 1, pit half way through... Started from pole, got 4th, but we finished 2 and 2 wide into the finish line. Quite an epic race actually. Tight pack in front.
