Just did race b as well, and had a fun race with @tofuhero and @Sofia Speed! I was able to snitch Top 1 on the leaderboards and then managed to outpace myself on the race itself
I need to trust myself more on Lagos

I'm done for the night now. I'm a bottle and a half of wine, and a 650ml bottle of a Belgian Quad into the night. Time to relax and put some vinyl on and enjoy the rest of my wine

Nice races. And I think you trusted yourself pretty well there! I barely had any mojo on Interlagos tonight, haven't raced it in a while. Nice to see some familiar faces though!

Yeah I just braced myself and threw the car into those corners
Next race with no tire screech nor curb sound was scary; I rely so much on those in 'Lagos. My eyes were on the speedo all the time as a makeshift throttle/steering reference

U wot PD

Not interested at all in any of those, maybe I can find a decent lobby then

Better races today, last time I did GR3 Interlagos it was pretty clean and brands is usually pretty good.

Willing to bet the leaderboard is full of the 4c or rcf for brands?

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Whats the deal with constantly checking DR and SR numbers. Does it not take a bit of edge off your racing, constantly analysing what you are doing all the time.

Last time I did Interlagos, my sr rating took a nose dive, not sure I want to dip my toes into that again !!!!

 

[MhtyClipster]

My ratings got destroyed at my 1st race at Brands went from B/C to D/E. Hopefully this will stop the others who lost a few point feeling sorry for themselves as i am now back pretty much where i was on day 1 in fact i am lower!!

Edit>>> Got back up to D/B after next race gaining 43 manner point, guess i was really unlucky in race 1?

Edit 2>>> Went in to Interlagos without doing quali as i only had a minute after doing my livery, started 17 finished 4th 👍
I am liking the new Lexus RC F '17

It already is

It's part of the appeal for me, trying to analyze so much information in the span of less than a second and all

Those were nice races...
I’m Not racing much lately, these two races we did were nice, first one I made a mistake on second lap, got two second penalty and was passed to 3rd, in 4 laps I couldn’t take the penalties down!!
Second race I have no idea how I got a 5 second penalty and again struggled to take it down!
After that I managed two wins...
so, 4 races, two wins, one 2nd and other 3rd... I only got 339Dr points.... it’s not easy to climb now!!

Yeah the penalty system is really weird this update

Demoted to Dr A Sr C after one race b and lost Dr 5000. Won all four races then. Got Dr 400 back. 100 per race. What a joke lost 5000 in one race then got 100 per victory

 

[Venster]

Always enter GR3 with nerves! Especially at Interlagos, never know what’s gonna happen.

In fact I always get race fear full stop in GR3, I don’t use assists so always get the fear I will spin out and ruin my result which in turn makes me drive really slow or spin out!

I'm a fan of all three tracks today, seems I will partake in all. Just a question, I'm driving in cockpit view, no HUD, and I never raced before with fuel depletion and tire wear. What should I expect?

With no HUD you will have no idea how much fuel you have left plus have no control over your fuel mapping. Plus not so important as you can feel what the tyres are doing but you also won’t know how much you tyres have worn

 

[Sofia Speed]

That’s nasty!
I lost a lot of Dr two month ago due to 5 disconnected races in a row and I’m still trying to recover it!
I’ve been doing less Sport Mode races lately due to the unfair penalty system and the new “short-shifting trend” on Race C (I tried to learn it and just don’t feel real, but that’s just my opinion)

You should watch some of Kie’s videos:

He’s a fast guy and shares some really insightful races where he explains his tyre/fuel depletion and race strategies.

You can learn a lot just from watching!

And he races in cockpit too...

Fourth day, I encouraged myself and it will be:




Update: it was my first 1.15 sport race too, I see they have changed intro...

And spooned while searching radar...

But ok, in that race was some very strong players.

 

[TheGeologist]

A) One Make (Skyline GT-R V R33 '97) -- Kyoto Miyabi (10 laps)
B) Gr.3 -- Interlagos (5 laps)
C) Gr.4 -- Brands Hatch (12 laps, 7x fuel, 8x tires)

MUHAHAHAHAHAHA INTERLAGOS

I created my European account a few days ago, but I haven't done any sport mode races yet. I've been waiting for a good daily to pop up. I can't wait to get home from class later

Interlagos will be fun, I am so curious how quickly I will level up lol. Come at me Dr E field lol

Edit: I need to spend time on this accont to get back to S rank

After 3 hours of consecutive race at interlagos. Backed to Dr S Sr S. Can’t remember how many races I have taken.

3 hrs ago

Yeah

I would say it is very hard to gain the lost Dr back as the score in lower rank race is extremely low. 100-300 per race only. Most of the Dr gained in the last few races with S/A racers.

 

[Brzlav]

I'm ahead at corner entry, yet car 1 still has a right to be there and doesn't concede so I give him room.

This I absolutely hate, when you give room to a car on the inside that had overlap and then the third guy tries to squeeze through as well. Most of the time not without a touch.

You even got a net increase!
Good job man, if you belong at S, you'll always be there no matter what

Thanks man

A strange day to me. Broke my PB during qualifying and entered the 1st race. Started at 4th and finished last. So low.👎

Luckily the races afterwards were all clean with Sr B and A race. Thanks them all to let me race. Other than the disaster race, it was a productive day though. Mixed feeling.

Edit: time to relax
Thanks my partner at Interlagos

 

[Nuschel01]

With no HUD you will have no idea how much fuel you have left

Fuel gauges work in (almost?) every car

 

[Venster]

Any tips on race C today I know the tyres will last but what about fuel no pit stop? I’m using the 4c (I know but it’s really good at brands) set a decent 1.28.6 quali but no idea how to play it on fuel?

 

[Sean Renon]

Todays daily races.

(We'll ignore Daily race A because I never race them)

Daily B - 5 laps of Interlagos in a GR.3 car
Daily C - 12 laps of Brands Hatch GP in a GR.4 car with fuel and tire wear (x7 and x8)

FIA races
Nations - Brands Hatch GP in a GR.3 car
Manufacturer - Interlagos in a GR.4 car

Why has this become the trend, this isn't the first time that the daily race have basically mirrored FIA races.
They basically give us 1 "real" race each day to race, we've yet to see an endurance race - or anything longer than 15~ laps of a short circuit.
The only people who get to race "long" races are the Superstars from each week, I'm not in the top 24 of DR - this doesn't mean I wouldn't LOVE to race 30 laps of Brands Hatch GP with tire wear at a realistic level.

I really wish they would introduce Daily race D and E.
Daily D should be a race about the same length as C, but take away tire and fuel wear - just make it about the racing.
Daily E should be a 45-50 minute race with entries on the hour.

Any tips on race C today I know the tyres will last but what about fuel no pit stop? I’m using the 4c (I know but it’s really good at brands) set a decent 1.28.6 quali but no idea how to play it on fuel?

Fuel map 1 - pit end of lap 6 and take tire with a splash of fuel, although I haven't tested the Alfa since the new patch.
You'll lose more time than you gain if you try and last it out on fuel map 2/3, pit lane is short at Brands.
