Haha omg, the DR and SR rating spectacle is really creating some crazy mixups, i had a race last night with 2 x DR S drivers in front of a mix of every letter in the GTS DR/SR alphabet. The winner was 100% deserved and number 2 was short shifting his way to second place, i guess that is not a bug since it is still in the game. So i consider it a PD supported tactic. Nevertheless, out of 4 races on the mountain i had one great race with some close racing where a few actually understood the rules* of course some didn't because in GTS respect is something we require from the other players and yell about in chat "clean race please", but it is not something we give. And on top of it some heavy penalty for hitting people going of track or losing control was as always on the menu :)
I tried 4 different cars in Q and raced with the Viper and the Ferrari until i changed to the Megane, to my surprise i was fastest in that car, i guess my driving style (or lack of) goes well with that car. I also tried 10 laps of Q with the Bugatti but was not able to beat my Megane time.

Every one of my Suzuka GR2 was a textbook example of me messing up every chance i had.. but still, fun to race those cars..!

I love this game :-)

Just finished Race A. I qualified P9. The only reason I didn't qualify lower was because the people below me didn't qualify. It was less about driving skill and more about using the Force! Finished 2nd last only because someone spun out. Got my SR back to 99, so that's something!

Another day above DR 1!!

Monza madness or BB pinball tomorrow. We just had Monza yesterday, need more tracks!

My DR is starting to hurt from all the DR.A and some DR.S getting their DR reset. Milking the points back from me :) I wonder how the total DR point pool is looking with all these SR drops causing a drain on the system, certainly now the DR boost glitch seems to have been fixed.

I think I got my Saturday night back.....not touching those races with a 10 ft pole. I went from an S to a C in 3 races last time I attempted Monza.
 
After 6 weeks without sport mode, i tried race c. Qualified with 25.260 secs and started at place 5. I'm the only S/S driver in that room, mixed up with A/S B/S.... gut punted 4 times in the first 3 rounds and leaved. Lost 1.800 DR and 17 SR. I've done with sport races for the next 6 weeks again

You picked the wrong track to start back on. That race is nothing but a demolition derby
 
Finished Race B and I've been Monza'd :mad:. Qualified 6th. Was being careful through the first chicane and got Monza'd. Everyone in front seemed to be taking that chicane extra slow, in front of me, and using me as a brake stop behind me. I got the orange card twice for other cars hitting me and this time completely not my fault. I had one guy side slamming into me all the way down the run between the second and third chicane before he spun off. That was one of the orange cards. Then there was the dive bombers on the 2nd and 3rd chicanes. All in all a pretty miserable race. I thought Gr4 would be cleaner, instead it was the dirtiest of the 166 races I've been in :banghead:. Finished 8th. Dr no change, Sr dropped 12 points.

Another day above Dr 1.
 
I think i have done 5 races so far at Monza. Got 3 wins, 2nd and 4th and got my SR back from 77 to 97. Still lost 50 DR though :P for some reason the fields were 2 or 3 DR S maybe couple DR A and then mostly DR D (maybe because of SR below 99 ?).

Had a couple good races with this BOLIK-GT guy. He was around the same pace and overtook me very nicely at the start. We then had a little fight until i unfortunately put a wheel on the grass the last lap :banghead: Could have defended a bit harder maybe but the main goal was getting back to 99.

 
I thought the Monza race was decent...4 wins out of 6 races earlier today. Then first race after a break, cleaned up on the first corner (10 second penalty for being rammed) and then a further 2x5 second penalties for being dive bomded into T1. Gone from SR99 to 75 in one race through no fault of my own.

I read earlier posts and thought it was a little ott, but I completely get everyone’s opinion of the carnage!
 
If I'm ever mismatched with you, I'm sure I can help you out :D. Rubbin is racin ! :lol:
And I'll report you :lol:

Rubbin racing like that only work on lobby, hell last night literally send 5 people crash on fun race :lol:
 
Sometime I want get thing like this so I can compare how fast I back to my current DR and SR.
I'm currently in that slump right now (And worst of all the one account that shouldn't experience that kind of slump) and let me tell you right now that it's much better to just start a new account to see how fast you can get DR/SR :(

If I could just get to rename Alpha that'd be perfect... my second Asia account is redundant :(
 
Finished BB.... twice. Disaster.

First race was with the Aston. Mostly DR/Bs, qualified P14. The race reminded me of the pod racing from Star Wars. More carnage than Monza! I was making progress, until the second pit. I couldn't see the fuel warning properly and thought I had another lap. Ran out just as I passed the start/finish line :banghead:. Finished P16 I think.

Second race I tried the RSR. Biiiig mistake. That thing is thirsty :crazy: ! Qualified P13 with a similar grid of higher ups. Only got 8 laps out of the thing. I don't play with fuel management, I find it's too distracting trying to mess with the controls and race at the same time. Kept grazing the wall coming out of the second turn with a 2s penalty each time. When it got to 10s I had to bleed it off and tumbled down the order. Again it was carnage. I got a speed boost a couple of times after being rammed up the butt. Finished P15.

My DR has taken a 2k tumble since yesterday, but I've managed to claw back some SR after the Monza fiasco, despite the DR/B dodgem of BB. Up to 97.

Another day above DR 1! :D
 
Managed to hit 1.56.4XX on Monza - I think I can shave .2 more but don't have more time to play, anyhow as much as I dislike the Veyron I must admit it is a beast on this particular track...

You should set your goals higher! You've been so many days out of DR 1, maybe it's time to move the goalposts to rank C :D

I still remember the times I was using that car for shats and giggles in lobbies because of how weird it is...
How times have changed :lol:

How can you and many other have multiple accounts in GTS? Isn't it against terms of usage?

Some seems also use these secondary accounts to play like *** in GTS when they can't manage pressure or think they have right to give bad behavior on track back what they have experienced. And I don't mean you in this case.

As people have mentioned today could be better on livery editor or lobbys if you care your ratings. Sad since its weekend and it could be good racing on dailys when there is more people online in day off working. Still best luck to all who starts engines in BB or Monza.

I don't think anyone on here uses a secondary to drive like crap. A lot of it is to explore other regions (as its not global). Other reasons are to do with DR. If there are races that are known for lowering DR, they can switch accounts and play on that.

Hmm, really? If it does I won't play at the other accounts anymore. I just find it a bit odd since some people may need new accounts when they join a team (take AMS_Cipher for example); although I do get that the people who get into teams don't play at their old account anymore

That's why I asked. Maybe it's accetable to have multiple accounts and that region lock is good reason to have them:tup:

Would be nice to make Asian account and drive some races with them indeed.
