SR down to 14 from 51, DR reset from 29K to 7K. I had to teach a Canadian a lesson :/ He dive bombed me and gave me 5 sec penalty for 9th place. Instead he ended up 14th. (me 15th and 16th was still 2 minutes behind...) So SR.D then. Not that it makes any difference as I have been matched with SR.B to SR.E all day long lol.

DR is so easy to reclaim the whole DR penalty is a joke. It penalises you but also the lower ranked players you end up against.

Yep, I was up to 29k without qualifying from the previous reset to 15K on Monday night. If you qualify and have the speed of DR.A you'll be farming easy victories and shoot back up to mid DR.B in no time. Indeed all it does is throw DR away which eventually get taken from the lower ranked players.

It's Friday night Thunderdome on the Nord, these people are not afraid to leave with a red E. Collecting penalties is the goal of the race. The finish line is at the penalty zone, however most drive as if the finish line is at Flugplatz :lol:

I lost 2 SR in my first race in SR.D, got punted into a shortcut, got SR Down and a shortcut penalty :lol: Then rammed for the entire rest of the race. I swear some people feel like you just hit their dog with your car when you pass them.

My SR is 23 atm. I won the last race from 10th with CRB, +10 SR. Hope to see you there!

Yay, guess I'll follow you, my DR was just reset haha. Only 3 qualified...

Lot of C/C drivers, they don't like to qualify but are a lot more gentle than the DR.B crowd tonight. Another victory and to 31 SR. There was some contact, no penalties, well except for the Brazilian who thought it better to preemptively bump me into the wall instead of going side by side.

I don't see you in the next one. 8 qualified, starting 9th. 4th place finish, but got bumped a plenty, lot of laggy connections in this one who never seem to get a penalty and you simply get SR Down when bumped off the road. Thus -5 SR back down to 26. Time for a break!

The disconnect bug is back in full force. Do one race, the next disconnected during matchmaking, wth :( I guess I'll go back to restarting the game after every race.
 
I don't know if I'm gonna do much more daily races anymore. I just don't have the time now that I'm back to school and that I'm watching movies every night, it's hard for me to find good matchmaking.

Anyway, decided to do what may be my one and only race for the week, in Autopolis. Managed to improve my time to come back in the top 500 before that. For the race itself, my TCS was disengaged at the start, so I lost two place trying to get off the grid, but still managed to finish 5th after starting 6th. I was the only B rated driver in the race. Everyone in front of me was A/A+, and everyone behind me was C.

Oh and clean race bonus, despite crashing into the back of someone that came back in the middle of the track too quick after running off at the hairpin. Can't be mad.
 
I don't know how you able to get your SR down that much in Ring. Since monday probably i've done the race more than 40 times, and only one of them had red S (SR) at the end. Actually I improved my DR by 4k (36k to 40k) that week. Maybe I'm too lucky to race with good people. My qualifying time is 8:11.
 
Couple of races at Le Mans, second race finished 3rd after dropping to 10th on L1 (part my fault, part not!). First race though led from the start, a stupid track limit penalty put 2nd in range and I overran Mulsanne giving him a bit of a run, I moved to the inside to protect the shorter line. We were side by side all the way down towards Indianapolis and I'm just thinking "the outside is a silly move... don't do it!". I'm not going to back out and yield the lead when we're side by side (I was still very slightly ahead!), I took it on the inside as much as possible with half the car over the kerb, he drives towards the apex and into me, spits off, overruns the corner, I switch back underneath him and apparently I'm dirty and it wasn't my corner!

Bloke needs to grow a brain! Two through there at 190mph doesn't go and if you don't have the inside you don't have a chance

Got kicked before next race so trying Nurburgring from the back with no practice...

Completed my fastest ever lap at la Sarthe. New quali time is 3:23.724 in the Peugeot.

Now to get a quick refresh in the TS050, and try to get a win.

now you're just showing off because you can afford 2 GR1 cars :lol::lol:

I raced my knackers off last night on the US account and managed to get my SR up from 46 to 90 something... but don't know if it's happened to anyone else... the disconnection rate was ridiculous. I got myself a P2 finish against a lot of A drivers and whilst waiting for the rest to finish got DC'd and lost 2k DR FFS!! Happened again on around lap 3 of another race.. lost about 1K DR. Took me about 8 races to get back to where i should have been.

Cut to 2nd lap as it wasn't anything exciting

yes... that's my kind of race. Where you're looking ahead and thinking... 'ok, this next corner you two ahead are going to have a little squabble and i'll slide through... then the next corner one of you is going to drift wide and the other is going to get a penalty... thank you very much!'

My qualifying time is --:--.---

I enjoy the challenge of racing from the back, clean overtaking is more rewarding than a victory for me. I still had a couple victories from the back as well. However, that has you start behind the slowest qualifiers, usually a couple DR.D drivers, with faster impatient non qualifiers behind you from DR.A down. Thus SR Down is pretty much guaranteed before you get to the start line from bumps from behind and a BS penalty is easily triggered when one behind makes a dumb move while you are busy coping with the clumsy slow traffic ahead.

It's always different from the back, you learn to cope with pretty much everything and find new ways to cleanly overtake anywhere on the track. But SR will take a hit when you only do race B. This morning, first race, 6 positions gained with clean race bonus and some awesome side by side action with a player I know. Since I went from 15K to 29K and now from 7K to 13K again, I've gained 20K so far on race B without qualifying :cheers: SR is 48 currently yet got matched with SR.S already, quiet still. SR 53, DR 4K now. Mornings are nice, the trouble makers are still sleeping off their hangovers :) From destruction derby at midnight to perfectly clean in SR.B at 9 AM.

And red SR for the 3rd race. The driver I pass on the straight doesn't watch his nose, tries to tuck in beside me but ends up spinning my car over onto his car. I manage to recover and keep it on the road but he goes on the grass. 3 sec penalty for me, SR back down to 48. That's how it goes, up down up down.

Just an observation while getting switched between A/S and B/B rooms. B/B room, 7 Brazilians (2 hit me) neutral SR, A/S room no Brazilians.... Clean race bonus. SR 52.

Second race was another "three star dub" as they say lol uncletentwentythree was starting in second so i felt some pressure but he musta been messed with in the first section cuse he fell back and was never able to catch back up to challenge me. His qualifying time was 2 sec slower than mine also, which surprised me and is possibly the first time i have ever started in front of him

Two more very intense and thoroughly enjoyable race with uncletentwenty3 and another canadian, i suck at remembering names, andysomething i think lol oh and i believe @0604 was in that last one

Dang it! I need to get in on some o' dat.
Need to qualy better, though.
I'll be on soon.
 


So I had two dirty races today. The video above is of a Brazilian running me off the track and not getting penalized for it.

Meanwhile in the first race, I get tapped by a person who then proceeds to go off track and I get a three second penalty.

Then my stats basically got reset in the span of those two races.
