"Daily" Race Discussion [Archive]

[roamingbard13]

I’m highly dependent on track for my DR. When I’m faster than everyone around me, it goes up. When I’m not, it goes down! I can’t blame it on the wheel anymore as I’m running fast laps with it.

Spa week I went from low to mid B. The week after was Tsukuba in that tuned RE7 which would have gotten me to A if I completed a few more races.

Now I’ve lost more DR than I currently have since then...I think part of it is getting distracted by FIA too rather than just racing the dailies. I should have a QT in the 57s and be finishing well at Maggiore, but I wasted my time in Tokyo this week.

I think I’m going to skip the next FIA round because of playoff football anyways, so maybe I’ll get there at Maggiore before the weekend is up.

Pretty good combos imo. 10 laps of Suzuka on hard tyres at x7 wear looks like a no stopper I think. Seems like a while since race C had variable strategies involved but still looks good.

I'm also as happy as @Pigems is about Race B!

sorry... didn't see Moose's post

 

[Dairyworker]

Not much time for games the last couple days. No races, but with a few laps here and there i got my time under 8 minutes. 7.59.998 to be exact at one point with three decent laps my optimal was down to a 56.7 but I'll never reach that. I should be able to cut a more convincing 59 or a 58 even though.... my heavy foot gets the better of me way to often in this car lol

Hmmmmm please be a DIFFERENT n200 car. 89 m3, trans am, 90 rx7, s13.... please oh please be one of these cars...

 

[RacingGrandpa]

When I’m faster than everyone around me, it goes up. When I’m not, it goes down!

I'm usually faster than the ones around me monday to wednesday. Then by Thursday people start to catch up and I am focusing more on defence. Unfortunately there are a lot of fast people who believe their speed gives them the right to just push you when they can't pass the right way.
I got spun twice in my last race, the first time by a fast guy who spun me on purpose, the second time by a guy in a GTR who was sliding and smoking tires in every corner. That one was likely just bad awareness. When I finally undercut him on the last lap he did try to push me,and the rest of the lap he was flashing his lights at me.

Any idea why people do that? Do they really believe that I will pull over to let them pass?

Not too bad then. Still waiting for the mighty Sainte Croix Gr.3 Race C combo to arise once more.

Gonna be a good DR boost week.

 

[250Cal]

I don't know about the Vette or Mustang at Lago. I think you'll get more time out of the Lambo or Audi.

I have my Audi set to BB 0 after the update (I was using +1) before. The ABS seems to work better now.


I REFUSE to use the Supra. That car reminds me of all the cheaters cars over the years. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I actually prefer the Audi. The diff in the Supra gives me all kinds of issues.

Fancy seeing you here!

If you’re ever free on a Friday night(not sure what time that works out to for you) you should drop in a race with us, we do 2 of each daily race and then 3 fun bonus races at the end. It’s always a fun time, it’s starts at 9pm est if you’re interested.

That's 02:00 at night in GMT

Super GT's still young. And he's a full-time content creator. That's probably normal hours for him.

If you get a commit from him you gotta log on a bonus dirty race. Or try out the game @Sven Jurgens talked about punting your teammate to the win

I sometimes go, and I am an hour before GMT and way past young

 

[roamingbard13]

Maybe it’ll be a slow night at the brewery and I’ll be able to catch up with you guys again this week. It was great fun the week I did.

(if so, I won’t buy the Porsche until directly prior. Y’all might lap me, haha)

 

[RacingGrandpa]

This I don't get? Why would it make a difference when you buy it?

Edit: better buy early and get some practice in?

I could, haha. I'm still credit-poor (maybe 4 million?) in the game and the car is 500,000 CR, and since I'm unlikely to run the race unless with those guys on Friday night, I won't buy it until I'm sure.

I should just go do a bunch more of the LH TT stuff...I could grab a couple million in an hour probably, but I just enjoy the Sport Mode racing more.

That's how I feel about the Lambo & R8!

Toyota GT86 vs. Subaru BRZ for the Sardegna race I'm guessing lol

 

[Stencedaddy]

Probably for the 500th time. I really hope its the Mazda TC. Its always been TC at Tsukuba and that combo doesnt interest me for sport mode.

 

[EinsTheOne]

Finally had a chance to jump in the game this week...
Surprised to see the Supra dominating the top 10 in race B.. I could've sworn MR cars would be the only sight in the leaderboard if you'd asked last week.
Why the Supra? There's clearly something about I don't get..
Those who've choosen it, could you please explain to me which characteristics of the car make it a good suit for Maggiore?!
I know its got great top end speed, but I don't recall it being able to corner well enough to trump MR cars..
Thanks in advance

 

[NoStopN]

I'm between 8 and 9 on that list .

And yet, you're not on my list. We should fix that. Send friend request & I'll get it tonight.

A 1:57.6 should be enough to get you pole in anything but the top lobby, so I wouldn't be worried

Oh, it has. Of the few races I've run, it's either starting first or second. But still, you found 3 seconds that I haven't.

That’s how I got my +, I milked the Big Willow race one week until I got finally it, then I parked that account for lobby use only.

I should be doing that this week. But I think tonight I'm going into the paint booth before hitting the track.

I'm usually faster than the ones around me monday to wednesday. Then by Thursday people start to catch up and I am focusing more on defence.

Personally, I just try to focus on my race. If someone is truly faster & are clean racers, they will get by. If they can't, then they are usually good sportsmen about it. The rammers are gonna ram, even if you try to get out of the way.

It likely has the same characteristics as the other FR cars. I've won 4 races with FR cars this week & the Supra was fast the last time Lago Maggiore was in daily races (reversed).

I can only see his times when I use my Asian account.

The Australia and New Zealand guys should probably get American accounts. They're probably about as close to our server as they are to the one in Japan. My connection is fine when I do Asian racing.
Then again, I'm on the west coast. It probably wouldn't be as good for someone like Pigems, who is on the east coast.

 

[Mistah_MCA]

Alright, who wants to bet their DR bucks that the N200 for the next A race is the 86 GT Limited?

It's been a while since Gr. 4 at Dragon Trail came around (excluding FIA races), so I welcome it back with open arms. Gonna see if I can get a better time with the Veyron.

Suzuka Gr. 3... eh. I guess I'll welcome it back.

I bet we could lure you in if we personally invited Momoz.

I just don't recall if he's on my friends list. If I don't see him & he's that quick, he likely isn't. We're a team here, so I can have another friend.
