Yeah enjoyed the Junior last time out as well, the Manufactures' Race is Tokyo East Outer Loop, 9 Laps tho. Another day where the daily and FIA use the same track!!
 
Absolutely loved Interlagos last night! 3 races, 1 win and two podiums. 1.19.462 for a 59th in the world time which is probably the best I've ever done. All clean races.

Love the LM55 and love Interlagos, best track on here in my opinion.

Your time was ridiculous!

Any tips for grid start. Started at pole. Lot of wheel spin before going. Anyone can help?:confused: Finished 2nd

Yeah basically turn TCS to 1, floor it and turn it off after you realize its starting to slow down acceleration. Then immediately switch back to radar to avoid any carnage in T1.
I got kicked from a server for avoiding slow started cars in front of me and being acused of driving dirty as I apparently cut somebody off a little while avoiding hitting the car in front. I can't have TCS and radar on at the same time, sorry...

Thanks all. TCS1 works well. I douth I can avoid the carnage at T1 if start at 5-10. Only the leader without red dot in last race.:confused:
 
Yeah 1 is fine on TCS started 4th was 1st before the hairpin, unfortunately i then got punted off into the gravel, straight to the back. Battled back up to 6th but with the penalty ended 7th, 20 manner points lost a well. :grumpy:
Think it might be another day where its not worth trying Race B, well in the S/R B ranks anyway, unless i was just unlucky. When its only 3 laps everyone seems to think the only chance of gaining places is the first corner. I wish they just made anyone who isn't slowing enough just ghost through everyone and get reset back where they started on the grid hehe.

Hold yourself back and let others wreck themselves off :lol:
I had a race last time at that track where I basically came to a complete stop in T1 (started last) and just avoided the carnage

Just bagged a 2nd on the Race A was pretty clean, my only penalties came from bashing the walls hehe. Wish i knew how to stop the Skyline understeering so much, i know am probably just going in a bit hot. What brake balance do people favour?

hi, in the skyline I like brake balance forward a notch. i got my fastest laps (low 1:05) at tsukuba by braking in a straight line before the corner with minimal trail braking and coasting through the apex with 10% throttle. no sliding but i did see people with similar pace to me sliding the car into corners too
 
The ring Cayman combo is so much fun but it's getting ruined by idiots at the first corner. SR dropped to A :(

I wonder if someone at PD picks the daily races, or they get randomly generated!?

But IF someone picks them, they need to replace him ASAP!

seems like a mix. they probably have a random queue and then insert races for certain occasions like a new patch or something. I also wouldnt be surprised if they had clauses in business deals with car manufacturers along the lines of like, "use our car in one make races on this given week"
 
Had a win and several good races on Wagamama (?!?) last night, went with the consensus and raced the Toyota for a few races but found it lacking, stepped into my trusty BASF liveried M6 and won from 3rd place :D:gtpflag:
 
Raced at race b in EU as B S. Relax mood as usual. 👍

A lot of “polite” discussion after each race. “Idiot” “wxx” etc. 3 in a row, a guy (A S) kept complaining other ppl. He said “how come these guys are A S”. The next race I (started at 5th) met him at T1 and T3. I thought he is a “gentleman” but he isn’t. Bumped me to run wide at T1. I kept the position ahead of him. At T3 he side pushed my back that my car pointed to Asia and saw his name on his car. No penalty for me but I was the last when rejoined. This A S gentleman quit the race immediately. Viewed his profile after the race. Surprisingly he was not “red yellow red” flag.:lol: If he didn’t quit, I would send him “how come you are A S”:D

Anyway, still got few hundreds Dr on my EU id with 9th finish. A productive race day. So interesting. :gtpflag:

Just had a go on Willow Springs daily. I was led to the sand quickly in L2 T2, but I can't blame it on the one who messed up T1 and slowed down, had me to enter T2 on the outside. It must not be him, it was the steering assist ;) And my lame approach avoiding a touch and a penalty.
After the race I was watching the replay to memorize how not to try next time, and after that just found something brilliant. Someone was keen on representing every chapter of the "How not to behave on a track" reference manual. An every-assist-ON DS4-jockey, of course. The italian synonym of the sneaky waving and dirty blocking must be ame_ryu92. Just to know fellow racers what characterline to avoid...
 
I think i know what PD are up to, today at least, a lot of folks don't like Big Willow, so races A and B where picked as they both have 1st corners which are a crash fest resulting in loss of SR forcing players to race the C race to get some SR back?
