GR.B on the infield is crazy. I did 2 races so far, people dive into T1 with zero regard, avoiding all the divers took me down 5 and 8 places in the two races I did. At least I remained penalty free and made up a bunch of places during the race to get close to my starting position at the end, yet the start is just nonsense. Together with constantly seeing cars with penalties drive through each other.

I was signed up for a 3rd race yet the game decided to present a new error code:

I have never seen NE-213EE3EE before, no result on Google either.

Race B was a blast this morning. The standing start made it very interesting. Those Group B cars are so much fun to drive quickly.

I finally got to get some Group B races in, I loved it. I played with the NSX and the Lancer and both were fun as hell to turn with tons of extra torque to spare.

In my first race I got donkeyed into the wall on turn one by some sideways spazlord who couldn't keep his line together. Fighting from the back of the pack I just started racing hard to get back into top position. I was shooting past the walls by inches and passed people drifting around the outside of their turn lines... it was nuts. I eventually placed in 4th, back at my starting position.

The second race was good but I kept getting harassed by some pole position idiot who would cut on people and run them wide. I tried to stay in 3rd, hoping the 1st and 2nd place guys would hammer on each other, accruing penalties and give me the technical win but by the end of the race the 1st place idiot had no penalties despite passing the checkered flag with a Penalty banner over his head. Kind of frustrating but I still had fun.

It's probably the closest thing to Stadium Super Trucks that GT can get.

Dunno, I started 2nd in my Mustang, behind a Megane and he didn't lose me. I gained on it at turn in, mid corner and exit. Clean driver. I only lost places due to instant understeer. A 3rd placed Huracan grabbed P1, because of mistakes. I still finished 2nd and the Megane had penalties.

The Mustang is also a boss on the straights, so that would be why.
 
I know PD is never going to fix the SR system, but man I hate seeing a room full of SR S people acting like jackasses. Yes Brands is a tight track, but there's no excuse for shoving people off. I feel like SR S should be 95-99. It should be the cleanest of the clean. Why does PD hold DR to a different standard than SR? Half the field ended with red dots and blue S's, and they'll all stay in SR S. That doesn't seem right to me.
 
Daily Race A: Mazda Mx5 - Tsukuba | 6 Laps
Daily Race B: GR.4 - Maggiore | 4 Laps
Daily Race C: GR.3 - Monza | 9 Laps | 9x Tires 6x Fuels

Man, GR.3 or GR.4 both is fun :confused:

Yeah. I'm down to one race each Gr. Keeps me sane that way.

Nice drive mate. Patient paid off in the first few laps. I was amazed fuel map 2 served you well and let you completed the race strongly.👍 I drove a 4c last night with fuel map 1. Refuelled at lap 9. Doubt if 4c as fuel efficient as Citroen.:) Grate race.:gtpflag:
Click to expand...
Ty. Map 2 works because Alfa´s are not that fast on the straight. With little more overall pace, I could have had a chance even for a win, since the leaders were struggling in the last lap and I was able to go map 1. Who knows..

Probably. I just don't have a lot of experience with cars driving directly at me ghost or not. I avoided it, pulled into the pit and quit. Every driver at the start was SR-S. Not sure how it ended.
Click to expand...
You should´nt.. have quit... You were penalized for that additionally.. do you know it??? it´s considered that when you quit you are classified as last, loosing DR points to every racer on track... and additionally penalized on SR points...
 
Hot lapping at Monza it is then.

What? Race there? 🤬 off - why would I willingly throw away my A+/S ranking by being T boned into the first corner by D-S drivers who haven't even bothered to set ONE qualy lap time ... *AGAIN*?

SR-S is easy to get, easy to lose. Almost meaningless. Want it? Just drive clean at the back of 2 or three races and there you have it. Now you're free to go into an "S" race and wreck other peoples DR.

Had 2 goes on Maggiore so far, one was awful got divebombed and rammed lost plenty of SR the other seemed nice and clean was surprised to still lose SR but only 1 point. Will have a go on Monza next though what could possibly go wrong?
 
Haha i know Alpha, need some SR though after that 1st race on Maggiore. Going to do the usual for Monza, no quali time set to avoid being rear ended and pass with caution. Might have a proper go after that if I can avoid losing any more SR, am getting reset far too often.
 
I found Monza to give out unjust penalties. How the hell does a player get a penalty for understeer? Ibgot one because the danger car is under steering at 5km/h.
I saw nothing but red dunce caps all race. Didn't appear carscahead were exceeding track limits or carnage. Was silly to see a a train of 11 cars with flashing penalties for a couple of laps.

I burned mine off before the pit stop. Just crazy.

Good luck on your endeavor :D
 
Wow, i thought i drove fairly clean got 1 time penalty and went off once when i was overtaking another car and they side swiped me into the sand, lost another 8 SR. Not too bad i guess for Monza only 2 cars with Blue SR at the finish everyone else was red. Oh and i finished 13th out of 17. The only plus was i didn't see any ramming at the first turn, plenty of blocking and dirty driving after that though. hehe
Had 1 more pop on Race C, it was carnage again, a sea of red at the end lost 7 points. Had enough of Monza for an hour or 2.

Hey! I resemble that remark! :p

I've got 19 SR to spend, so I'll give Monza a go. Probably try a few cars, but most likely go with the Viper.

You know you've created a winning game when the motivation to play is:

"HOW BADLY WILL THE GAME SCREW ME TODAY? SMALL ENOUGH TO RISK ACTUALLY PLAYING IT OR NAH?"

This is gold :lol::lol::lol:

GTS is actually a gambling game, you see. Can't understand why people keep calling it a racing game or a simcade or whatever- looks like a bonafide gambling game to me :lol:
 
Going to skip the daily races today as the track selection today are not my cup of tea and a little tired of the Mazda Roadster
in the one make race.

A quick question about DR when you are rank B - why does the progress bar not increase as much as the lower levels?

I seem to really be struggling to stay above C and I can't quite figure out why, am racing what I think is okay pace/not going
off track but seem to really struggle to stay with the pack so keep dropping back down quickly.
