"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[ROCKET JOE]

It's extremely rare and clearly a Monday night affair, anyway ... pretty proud of that :

BB -4

BTW thanks to all of you quick guys ( without naming and shaming ) who keep me practicing and getting better - my secret inducement !

Race A = FUN

Kudos to PD for this combo.

Not always. I'm hardwired and usually end up 3 yellow in dailies - I'm in Australia and servers are in Japan for my region. On the other hand, going WiFi is a one red bar slideshow. I agree that everyone should be hardwired though

Yes, sadly it doesn't make much difference for us in Australia when the Daily Race servers are hosted in Japan, three yellows the best I get regardless of the connection type. Still managed to go from 15th to 5th this morning in Race B, and got a Clean Race bonus too, thanks to the rest of the field crashing out on about every corner on the first lap

Still trying to get grips with the Epson NSX in hoping that my new livery can shine. Tried TCS 5, BB -5 (same formula I tried with NSX Gr.3), still some spins here and there, although less than my failure that was the Fuji Gr.2 nations race.

I tried the Epson NSX, but it's just too twitchy, and then the tires wear down and its even worse. Still managed a 6th place finish from 8th this morning, and everyone behind my DNF'd from crashing out whilst I slid by sideways. But the modern NSX is a lot more stable when accelerating, and easier on the tires too.

Reset your PS4, it should help.

Hi guys, new to racing, and new here. I’ve played GT Sport for about a week now, and absolutely love it!

I’ve been chasing my first win, finding no luck on Suzuka as I’d make too many unforced errors and spin out (luckily without cleaning up anyone else), and last night I finally got there on race B, in the Atenza.

It’s a hell of a feeling, and makes me want to play even more. Still a lowly DR D SR S driver, but hopefully not for long.

See you guys on the track.

 

[Kuraudo]

@watto79 Sooo fast
@JoeyLeonine After 1,5 hour of practice and four cars (NSX, Viper, Genesis, F-Type) I run a 1:23.723 with the Jaguar (BB +1). I hope I can make this time again at Qualification . Tricky but good track .

Welcome! I started a little under 2 years ago and haven't turned back. I went from not playing any video games at all, to playing this one like a madman any chance I get. It gets better and better, so keep it up! See you out there.

 

[sundaydriving]

Time for some fun.

 

[Mistah_MCA]

I hate hate HATE Autopolis, even more with Gr. 2 cars. It took me 2 hours to get 1:35.7, after many times I kept spinning out. This track makes me miserable. It's like playing Touhou, except you can NEVER win.

I'm gonna go lie down.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

They should've made Race A on Comfort Hards for maximum dorifuto Or even on wet RBR as a new update track usually gets used in the daily races of the week after.

 

[Deadpool]

My fav race from last night.

I initially thought that P1 was going to opt for a no stop as he had in prior races, so he caught me off guard initially. Decided to just sit back and conserve fuel and keep pressure on hoping for a mistake. Opted to save some fuel and beat him in the pits by taking less fuel also. Then it was a matter of getting through the no stoppers. Great fun, had a lil moment on lap 6 but managed to keep from losing momentum.

 

[MagpieRacer]

RAce A is a lot of fun, won a couple class C races tonight. No idea how people are getting below 2.05s though . My best is a 2.05'6 and there doesn't feel like much more I can give.

 

[El_Beardo]

Tonight's driving music.



Lets see how close to 1:20 I can get, at Sardegna. We're driving the Aston Martin, this week.

 

[Granadier]

Nice choice, good luck!

I'm an avid jogger. Youtube gave me this????

 

[Pigems]

I had to Qualify, it was brutal trying race from the back today, I was down to SR C at one point.

 

[Granadier]

The Pink Panther gave me luck! The uphill section into the left handed is so much fun in the WRX. It loves to slide, but still feels planted.

 

[El_Beardo]

1:22.492 at Sardegna.
1:39.073 at Autopolis.

My head's not in the right place for this. I'll be back in a few days.

Same, my friend, especially for C race. Feel better soon.

 

[05XR8]

Thought I'd give Race C a pass. Not! I'm hooked on phonics.. I mean Autopolis!
It keeps drawing me in. The speed. The cornering. The two pit stop strategy. Following close in dirty air. Being chased. Cars flying off track. Cars entering and exiting pit lane. It's busy. I love this joint. Love watching the replays and see what players are doing up and down the grid.

 

[NoStopN]

Was the combo with B II? or was it just B? I feel as though it doesn't have the same flow to it in reverse.

I think the last time was regular B layout.

I wanted to try GR.2 so entered the 7:30 race. Disconnected while matchmaking
So instead of waiting half an hour I tried to race at Fuji
It wasn't going bad actually, just soo slow, until this

PD why won't you ever fix this 🤬 Fuji is dead to me
Thus I entered the 8pm race with 94 SR where I promptly got punted off by a 1 bar Brazilian to last
Made up a few places, got bumped off by a laggy Argentinian, SR Down for me
Crawled back to get bumped by a 4 bar Canadian, no excuse, SR Down for me
Then I couldn't remember nor see the pit entry clearly (on my crap tv) and lost all progress again plus 5 sec wall penalty
In the pit I found out I was back on hards, switched to mediums and forgot to skip fueling
To add insult to injury I got timed out right before the finish

GR.2 is fun, Autopolis is not, constant diving at your bumper no thanks. My jet pack in No man's sky goes faster than whatever I was driving on Fuji. So that leaves race B, perhaps tomorrow. I already had enough bumps and lag for today.

 

[theschledy]

Someone screws up, gets super salty, and wants to take everyone else out. Daily races in a nutshell. This is why got a B account.

Heheheh. Thats why I only have "B" accounts. None will be named here

 

[twitcher]

This feels kind of fitting, in honour of Race A. Apologies for the music


Too bad PD didn’t allow custom liveries for this week’s race. Oh well.

 

[Odiesback]

I will miss Interlagos. I'm on the cusp of getting to be a A rankled driver for the first time so that means that I'm starting in the back. This race was a tough fight but I did great gains and really had to fight hard but gained some 7 spots in the end.

In the past I tried to avoid Interlagos like the plague until this past week when I was able to walk away with tons of DR points. Now kinda love it! 👍

I think Interlagos is not the best until you have reached an high intermediate to low expert levels. I found that out the hard way!

Excited about Sardegna. Hope to see you there!

 

[NoStopN]

1:41:678 Q time in race C. But the driving in the race.....

Correction: 1:40.493 on racing hard tires

Race B: 1:24.335

 

[05XR8]

This game was the perfect opportunity to model those race cars, for well... a straight up racing Gran Turismo game!

N2 Only Sport Mode races every week like FIA or even once a week like tha Supra Cup.
