Is that a one-make? Or can we choose every N500 car? Has this been happening before? :confused:

I don't think his site is correctly bringing the one make car through... for example Race A is the Atenza today (as someone else already said) but it is only pulling through the class.

Today is Wednesday, isn´t it? There are not FIA races in Wednesdays. But maybe I am wrong and they changed it this week. Or maybe is Thursday, please tell me today is Thursday.

What were yesterday's FIA races? Maybe it's pulling through yesterday's... or tomorrow's considering it is the "next" FIA race.

I did not play FIA races yesterday but I am pretty sure that the races were Interlagos (Nations Cup) and Brands Hatch (Manufacturers). I think Willow and Mt. Panorama are for tomorrow.
 
Hey fellows, didn't have a video for it, but it's funny: You know that guys behind you, and giving all the way light signals? On every straight, before every corner? Until they got off track, because they concentrate more on giving flash instead to look how the track goes? I love them :lol: Just saying... :D

Even worse than the ones driving with their hazards on all the time :lol:

PD needs to at least let us use custom liveries for race A. They included a decent livery editor, they need to incentivise us to use it.
Click to expand...

Yep. What's the point of making liveries for N100-400 cars if they can never be showed off?
I understand that it is a bit different to the Gr races as you are given the car, but surely the people who own the said car (Atenza for example) can put a stupid livery on?

Talking of hazards on... I was getting so stressed in my two races on Dragon trail last night, that 3 times over the 2 races I accidentally pressed the PS button :lol: a combination of gripping the controller too hard and sweaty hands :dunce:🤬

Awesome thanks

Might give today a miss :gtpflag:
 
What Idiots at Monza seriously. How can you miss braking point all the time is beyond me.

Got 3 blue SR's out if 4 races. I feel like i won the race :p

I was so happy when you got the overtake on the final turn after his naughty move at the start of the lap, absolute heartbreak when you ran out of fuel.

Robben
Awesome last 2 laps! Can't believe you ran out of fuel with about 20m to go :lol:
Click to expand...


Haha yes I couldn't believe it, but I can only blame myself, the fuel managing was good during the whole race but I guess the last lap battle was too intense and I didn't give a look to the fuel. He deserves that win :)

Yeah, you did really well to stay within 1 second even when managing your fuel. I think he relaxed and didn't push too hard which meant you could save fuel and stay within reach. I think you were also helped a lot by the racers in positions 3+ were much worse than you and the other guy
 
Just did the one make daily at Interlagos. Something is seriously wrong with the matching. I'm an DRD and and they match me with two other D's and the rest A's and B's? c'mon, my DR points are so low I'm waiting to drop back to E!! :irked:

I think the ratings have lost their meaning. So many people "tanking" to a lower rank so they can get wins.

Are you SR/S? The system matches like-minded (i.e higher sportsman) before driver rating. You won't lose much (if any) DR losing to S and A rated drivers

That's not the case here though... he was matched with people showing a DR of S and A (most likely due to a low number of entrants across all DR ratings with SR/S)

Yes, I've only been doing the online races for a month, and SR/S for the past 19 days. At the moment I'm not in a position to manage more than 3 races a day, so the necessary seat time is lacking. The races are too short for my liking (yeh, I loved doing the endurance races in GT4).

Yeah, well there is your problem... as I said above: the matchmaking system matches SR before DR, thus putting together people most likely to race clean ahead of similar ability. Its only really an issue usually at low traffic times, or the odd occasion that a grid can't be filled properly... imagine that there are enough entrants of D/S to fill 1.2 grids then .2 of a grid are going to be unlucky and go up against higher rated drivers. That's why I think the matchmaking gives itself 1 full minute after entry closes... it's quite complex how it works it all out.

Edit: even last night at 19.30 (pretty peak time in EU) I had 1 x s 8 x A, 4 x B and 7 x D. It just does the best with what it has... which may seem unfair or mismatched on occasion but it's the only way it can work. The other option is to not have a schedule and wait for races to be populated which I wouldn't like. This is also what I say to people saying they want more daily races....

Oh, and your DR is protected by this system.. you will lose very little if any DR to an A or S (or even B) rated driver... likewise they will win pretty much nothing from beating you.

Same goes for the guys concentrate so much on weaving down every straight, trying to break the slipstream, that they miss their braking point for the next corner. :lol:

I've seen that in a few races, only the car in front of them is 4 seconds in front of them. I'm maybe 4 seconds behind but slowly creeping up because I've exited the previous corner a bit better. They start squirming around like they've blown a tire and scrub so much speed that instead of maybe catching them at the next corner, I blow past on the strait.
