Not to my knowledge, but here is an independent site which has all your up to date stats and progress, it's called Kudos Prime, simply click on the 'players' tab and enter your PSN name and all your stats will be there;

I WON ON A TRACK NOT NAMED INTERLAGOS :D

Not even (i think) Valtteri Bottas can do such dirt moves! lol

No sportsmen does such moves. Only player kids. With zero respect to what he is doing and to the others involved.

Just finished my daily race (B) and I was lucky today. No dirty drivers around me, no unavoidable carnage at the busstop, not any "gaming", just driving. Thanks for everybody involved. (@Hasnain282).

By the way, I made a sticker to the back of my car, and I wonder what you think: is it fine or at least neutral, or rather irritating seeing it in a race? (my car is on the left ;))

Did a few daily races and kept seeing the same guy. He was about as fast as me.but made more mistakes and was super aggressive if you tried to pass him, always trying to run everyone off the road. You know, normal SR B/C stuff.

I kept beating him. Made my night.

Does it feel more balanced to you than simply lifting and transferring the weight to the front?

It does, but of course it depends on how much brake pressure you apply. It's sometimes easy to apply too much and either unsettle the car or lose too much speed (or both).

The best use case for me is entering the S curves at Dragon Trail Seaside. Where a lot of people lift to get the weight shift, I ride the brakes slightly, leave the accelerator floored, then ease off the brakes at the right point (ha -- if I can hit it).

I'm not sure if there is much of a difference between lifting and braking like that, though. It may be down to just personal preference.

Well I couldn't get close enough to tell but I don't really notice stuff like that on cars in front and I don't think I'd really find it irritating if I did
 
Did many races on race B, met @TamasToth and @Hossnight1. Had a bit of a battle with Hossnight and I thought he probably gave too much space tbh and then he the chicane which was unfortunate. i tried to catch Tamas but made a mistake at the final corner on lap which meant the gap was too big for me to catch but nice to meet another GTP member on track. :cheers:
Best quali time was 1:29.442, my optimal was a 1:29.1 and I actually managed a 1:28.9 in one of the races. Last 2 races were probably my better ones went from 10th to 6th in one of them and 9th to 4th in the other. There were also some bad ones but oh well they happen sometimes I guess.
DR went up only 100 according to KudosPrime and 600 according to Jason Guernsey but it doesn't really bother me too much anyway.

I've gotta say that on this combo today I've probably had the most fun as I've had in a while on a racing game.

What car were they using and what car are you using? During my race I found that the NSX seemed to pull away from the other two. I was constantly expecting to get passed but people seeming to copy me on the corners. Once through the corner they disappeared behind me.

Tbh I thought the Honda was a bit lacking in a straight line as I was just about keeping up in others' slipstream but it also maybe could've been the exits I was getting. I don't have either of the other 2 cars so can't really compare.
 
Why doesn't anyone use the Gr.1 Toyota? It's very competitive in real life, did PD just botch it in GTS? Or is it just not used in the NA region? I don't own it so I haven't tried it myself.

It reminds me of this move from Le Mans last year:
 
There seems to be a glitch/fault regarding SR ratings.
If you drop to 70ish SR, then try to build it back up again, it for some reason decreases despite little or no contact

On the last chicane you right i give you too much space because i didnt have the radar i didnt knew where you are and was afraid to hit you haha :D
And that chicane...OMG...3 RACES IN A ROW i hit it ! :( Result of this chicane love story = -2000 DR points from DR A to B today but anyway it was fun ! :D

I do the same thing there sometimes and other times lift. Most times I can't seem to make up my mind until I reach the corner. :confused: I know I need to pick one method and stick with it. When you hit it right you can carry a lot of speed up the hill.

BTW, fellow Camaro owner here.

Has anyone driven the GTR LM Nismo Gr1? So much wheelspin it’s literally undriveable. No wonder everyone’s in the Porsche when the alternatives are so bad
 
Dr. B drivers can't race clean for the life of them on race C, but they sure give away a lot of points :D

Gained 3k from 2 races :gtpflag:
Sr. back down to A again tho, just as it went up :/

@ThePhantomAli there was one in my race, squeezed past me over grass on start straight, just to do donuts on T1 lol.

Fast on straights tho, but no control in corners.

At the dragons esses I used to lift off and hard yank the car to the left, this would raise the front left tire off and I could hook it over the kerbing without upsetting the car. Accelerating up from this was erratic though and the car was too unstable causing me to scrub speed or I'd would just screw up hooking onto the kerb.

Now I tap a light trail brake to rotate the car and then quickly fade the throttle back on while avoiding running over the kerb. This latter method is more consistent and ultimately faster for me. It also secures the inside of the second esse which is a huge passing opportunity as many people cannot stay tight to the apex on the second turn.
 
Dragon Trail is my beach! :cool: 4 victories with my Lexus RC F Celestial Saber (From the anime saries Fate) Edition. xD :)

Well, I cannot believe I’ve never used bonnet/hood can before, I am so much faster, I can feel exactly what the car is doing so I know exactly how hard to step on it out of a turn. I’m gonna miss that rear view though
Click to expand...

Yes I'm another fan but I'd say most of the faster guys likely use bumper cam but I'm just not comfortable using that view.

It would be even more competetive (bonnet cam) if it had a mirror.

I’ve always used bumper cam, when I was along younger I made the switch from chase cam because I realised I was a lot faster, the other alternative was roof cam which always felt weird. This bonnet cam is perfect, just missing a mirror

Don’t lump all of us DR B drivers into your assessment mate. I’m one of them, and although I “give away” the points, as you call out, I’m a rather clean and fair driver.

The real GT-R LM Nismo was retired after only one race, so maybe the GTS version is not totally inaccurate...

I'm in B/S and I race as clean as possible, but I also tried to race clean when I was D/S and C/S. It's best not to generalize based on DR class.
