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

If you check a profile on Kudos Prime, say, your own, you'll see that the scale increases with each DR, a bit like the game levels. The gap between level 20 and 21 is vastly different than the gap between level 39 and 40. Same idea.

Thanks for quick response so if I am ever going to increase again I need to have much better race results, will keep that in mind
for future racing.

EXACTLY!!!!!

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 think that Monza is ALWAYS!!!!! a bad choice, for earning SR points! Probably one of the worst choices ever for such matter...

On today´s races I see only one that may grant you some extra SR points!

But you´ll have to loose some time and patience there...

The "infamous" to many, (and I truly don´t understand why...) One Car only type race! This means the Mazda Roadster on Tsukuba!

For all the rest you risk more to loose then to win SR!!
 
I think first time after 3 months I rage quit. How the 🤬 they can easily bring 10sec penalty for brakechecking (me as victim), unintentional simple tap get 10sec too, go out in parabolica get 2 sec penalty. Now in B-B (27K - 58) should I wait tomorrow mix or just play safe on next morning to get 99 again? :confused:

If I don't get that penalty maybe I really much enjoy the race since that's only 2 or 4 incident in race.

Maybe if you get over that bad feeling about the Mazda Roadster... you´ll reach your goal!

Sometimes the best way to reach a goal is´nt the one you like the most (mostly it´s like this, through all our lifes, you know???)
 
Aww, I have some more time to race today and there's no GR.1 or GR.2.

I guess it will be the same recovery game on Monza as yesterday in GR.B. Drop down in T1, climb back up. Perhaps I'l race without qualifying as what's the point really. Qualify and after T1 start in the back likely with a penalty, or wait for the dust to settle and start without a penalty.

I like MX5 in game btw :lol:
I will try run in maggiore maybe for tommorow and some monza for win since my time relative fast for BB I think :lol:
 
For the love of all that is holy why is a Megane faster than a Viper?? All able to brake later than me and before I know it they’ve barged me out of the way yet I get penalised?!

All replays saved so I’ll check back later but when I’m on pole ahead of 4 meganes you know it’s gonna be trouble.

I stopped on gr4 because its them meganes and similar cars. Don't know the last time I raced in the class. Just can't be bothered.
 
Suntek
You shouldn't be so sure that 19 sr will keep you afloat, I lost more than 30 to rammers several times there.:D
Click to expand...

No so fast sunshine, erm I mean Suntek :p. Yes, there was carnage, but.....

OK, so I qualified P12. At the first chicane I used my usual strategy, ie, pull over to the left, brake a little early, let the other cars that want to be optimistic crash into each other and slowly glide through the middle. For some reason in the race, I just couldn't get the bugger to turn, and even though no one hit me, I still ended up in the sand. Down to P18 for me :yuck:. Made it up to P10. Pitted but didn't change tyres.

The second chicane I was massively T-boned, spun around and generally boned. Not sure where I ended up but no penalties for me, just loss of positions. Worked my way back up a bit again. Was looking good for a no penalty race when I took a tad too much out of the 3rd chicane and got a 2s penalty with 2 laps to go. and the finish.....

Lost 20ish DR, SR *up* (:p:p @Suntek ) so I'm back to 99 :lol:. Another day above DR 1 :D.

Just had a lobby, not one Megane! I had to pinch myself! Was just as dirty, got punted off by a guy advertising himself as a streamer so will be following his page closely, or maybe just send him the video.

Then absolutely wrecked by another guy but couldn’t see who it was until after the race by then was too late to report.
 
New PB at 2:04.101 on TT. Started 4th and came home 3rd. Blue S at the end. Not as worse as I thought. I used to lost Sr on this track.:cheers:

Edit: Broke my PB again at EMEA with Magene as no TT in garage. 2:03.819:D I thought I would get a pole.:dopey: No way. P4 again and finished 4th. Got blue S and maintained Sr99. Done today. Good luck mate.:gtpflag:

Speaking yesterday about that GrB race.

Crazybutt198
Its a potential Dr killer (Gr.b), but still people race them. Like Monza, nordschleife and Tokyo

And today:

Monza is the (insert drug(PG13 remember)) of Gran Tursimo Sport. People know not to use it but do.
 
I quit worrying about my "precious" SR S as I said I would a couple days ago, Im an SR B now after 2 races at Monza, big deal, right? First race was awful, I only had time for 1 qualifying lap and took too much curb, started way back with a 1:52.8. Worked my way from 12th to 9th, got hit and knocked off, went from 15th back up to 9th or 10th until I got knocked off yet again, and again, and again, but when I got into the top 10 things started to get cleaner, finished 8th, not too bad considering. 2nd race qualified 1:49.7, started 4th, big commotion at T1 as usual, some went back some went forward, I went in 4th and came out 4th and finished 4th, I cant complain, guys ahead were all higher DR. I will try some more tonight after work if I have time.

On the FIA Tsukuba race yesterday there was a Megane weaving all over the place and pulling away from my Ferrari on the straights. The Megane feels like a "guest character" that PD added from some arcade racing game.
 
My last race of the day was a huge surprise. My 86 Gr.B put the hurt on a flock of Audis. I managed to avoid the chaos and only missed a clean race when I messed up on the right hand kink before the hairpin. My first and only Gr.B win. 👍

Yea that's go be it for me with online until they fix this damn penalty system. The penalty system is ass. I know its been said before but damn man I did the FIA tsbuska race last night and got ran into twice and I get the penalty. Then it was point of the race to where I was right on someone back bumper and didn't even make contact with the guy and I get a 1 second penalty. I'll be sticking to creating liveries on this game until they fix that. That right there just ruins sport mode. I didn't even have a problem with the old system but they took it too far a couple of updates ago.

Honestly.. it was already VERY BAD before that... You simply were very lucky not to have found it out before...
 
Suntek
What the heck just happened there :lol:

Funny that you got clean race bonus after clear T-bone on that mustang that cleaned off T1 in 1st lap lol.

I was about to criticize how he moved late from the outside to the inside but after seeing real life Monza footage, it seems like it's still Lord of the Flies in real life as well.
 
After losing all my SR on Monza, thought I would get it back on Maggiore. 1st race, get the clean race star and then no blue letter next to my name? Next race, get my clean race and this time get the precious blue. 3rd race I follow a group of 3 fighting the whole race, and 2 of them have a penalty. First peals off after the big hairpin on the last lap, the 2nd takes his penalty in the middle of the last complex of curves, and both me and the other clean racer smack into him and get a penalty. I did get the win as I burned my penalty perfectly before the line, but I get the dreaded red letter and I am back down to B.

Think i'll try and get my SR back tomorrow :)
