Brand hatch is fun just like Gokart but in bigger car and smaller track, win without pit is possible I tried that but can't do that (spin in last 2 lap duh) but 1 guy in server do that.

Well I just take pit in lap 10/11 and full throttle rest of the race bring me lot good finish position with that strategy :D
 
Any guess to type of car in Race?

Just finished the BB track. Useless.
I wanted to reacquaint myself with the NSX, but no way to do it in this "Circuit". Waiting til tomorrow. May as well buy a RB Jr in the mean time.
 
For Daily Race C in the Red Bull X2014, you will need to fuel save if you want to get to the end without pitting.
I ran fuel 1 for the 1st couple of laps and then moved to 3 on the twisty side of the track, and 6 when I was in the slipstream. Ended with 0.1 laps and 10 secs behind the winner.
2nd thing is that it is a grid start. I went from 2nd to 7th by the end of the 1st corner, so be careful :)
 
tbh the X2014 is actually quite good fun through the twisty part of the circuit. Going through the chicane with only a slight lift is fun, and better players can probably take it flat out.

BB Raceway on the other hand can go **** itself

Could've been hard to do if they'd be 5 or 6 daily races with different track set-ups ?

Race D - Endurance, Race E - Go Kart, Race F - Grand Prix Circuits Only etc.

Sometimes i skip Race C just because i think that it may drop my driver rating

There's already not enough players for the number of dailies we currently have, which brings the matchmaking quality down. Especially with the ongoing FIAs and people training for that, those who are serious about it will probably only do daily races if they took a SR hit and need to build that back. (FIAs matchmaking, with only 4 races per week and a limited number of slots available, are producing great matchmaking so far).

I understand the frustration, though. Having a BB Raceway and a Tokyo race on the same day is not the best thing (and it's not the first time this happens). Ideally, a small road course, a long road course and an oval / top speed track each day to provide enough variety for all tastes, and cycle them through race A, B and C regularly.

Apparently we have the same timezone :lol:
I'll try to, might just stick around for 5-10 minutes though if ever since I'm going out in a while :)
 
The RB Jr race isn't half bad. No qualy and starting fron last. Learning to be smooth with the steering and throttle. I can nearly go flat out in the two esses.
 
All of these daily races PD must to rethink and reset to make them more fun and intersting... and please more than 3... 6 or 9 for better..... my thoughts....
 
While fuel saving is an option for race C I'd like to add 2 cents that you don't have to do the fuel save if the race turns out to be full of
noobs or inexperienced racers.

I did one race before my late shift at work and got 3rd on the grid and got up to 2nd straight off the line, 1st and myself were the
best drivers in the whole race and we were not fuel saving, went all the way to lap 9 on one tank and was able to dive in/out the
pits for fuel and still retain our positions.

Most drivers elected for the pit stop which to be honest I think was easier than a fuel map.

I like the RB JR. Just not sure I like it on this track. I would have preferred to have used it in Race A and then use the N600 car to the Tokyo Expressway.

This is why I'm going to play The Crew 2 tonight.

I enjoyed the first one for simply going as fast as possible around the map. The story got in the way though. I read it's kind of a grind for upgrades or give in to micro transactions... I'll give the reb bull junior a go in Tokyo. I still have Detroit to finish if it turns into a mess.
 
quit my first race in over 100 today on Race C. haven't raced on Tokyo Expressway before so thought I'd give it a go, and quite liked the track/car combo when qualifying, and despite finishing 16th in my first race it was pretty fun. went away, improved my quali time to a 2:02 which put me 2nd on the grid for my 2nd race.

got the jump on the polesitter, 1st into T1, 6th coming out of it due to contact from behind. made some progress forward when people crashed, bumped a wall to get a 5 second penalty, all fair enough. got hit from behind in that left-right about halfway round, 5 second penalty for hitting the wall while I span. tried to overtake someone who was slow and then swerved onto the racing line just as I was about to take them, lost control, span, hit the wall and the opposite wall, 5 seconds for each hit. facing the wrong way as well. can't be bothered with that, so quit.
 
Pointing the wrong way on Tokyo, is a killer just happened to me. Was running 3rd on lap 1 when someone tries to squeeze though a tiny gap about half a car wide. Somehow they half ghosted though me and I shot off into the opposite wall got clipped again and ended up spun around, needless to say I was last.
