Daily C is a perfect demonstration of people fighting at every corner for lowly positions rather than working together to close on the leaders.

Closed to 3 seconds of the leader (from 15) and the driver in third starts driving into the back of me at every corner. Of course,out of the slipstream they don't have the pace but rather than close the leader down together they just want to scrap. Leader vanishes, one stoppers catch up, I finish 3rd whilst the bumper's antics earn him a trip to ****edville courtesy of a nostopper in no mood for his nonsense. Another potential win escapes.
 
i'm surprisingly having a blast tonight on Race B at A/A+ level tonight , racing hard but fair even though i'm seeing some ridiculous overtake attempts , like going side by side at the last chicane , like WTF
 
Went through 4 races in the Nur. today. Qualy time was ~2:06:500 in the Aston, feel like I could go quicker with the Megane, but so far have been very inconsistent with it (sometimes it turns almost too well and other times it understeers like mad)

First race was done in the Aston, qualified pole (tbf I had dropped a lot from the previous week's races because I kept rage quitting lol). Race itself went ok, ran in 2-3 FM for a lot of it, had an NSX and a Megane behind and the gap stayed around ~2 secs. Tried to do a 0 stop but realized towards the end that I wouldn't have enough fuel left so I put it into FM 1 and tried to build up as much of a gap as I could. Gap increased to around 6-7 secs before I pitted on lap 6 I think, came out behind both cars. Managed to catch up and pass the NSX (who got passed by the Megane prior) but in the final lap binned the final corner while trying to get passed the Megane :(. P2

2nd race I decided to try out the Megane, pretty much did little practise. Qualified on pole again, decided to start the race on FM 2 and instantly got passed as soon as it starts. Ended up getting punted in T1 and dropped to 8th. Really liked the Megane's turning but the straight-line speed was nowhere. Spent most of the race following behind the guy in 5th, chaos happened ahead from 4th-2nd which ended up with someone getting yeeted off at the S. Pit stop came around lap 7 managed to come out in 3rd. The guy who was originally in 1st disconnected so got moved up to 2nd. Guy who punted me went on to win the race :( (although he did indirectly apologize to me)

3rd race went with the GTR, and from the moment I did practise laps I instantly regretted my choice. Car was understeery as hell and felt overall sluggish. Qualified 2nd and was able to kinda stay with the leader, however the Megane behind me was easily catching up to me. Stayed behind me the whole time until I don't know from where but managed to punt me in T5. Managed to finish P4 although that was a terrible race to drive in :(

Final race I went back in the Aston, for some reason I felt so much understeer/brakes not working that it was also really painful to drive. Had yet another Megane up me arse, but this guy stuck really well. Hell the only reason why I was still in the lead was since I was pulling away on the straights. I knew though he would eventually get past, as he was much quicker. Passed me in the pit stops, eventually managed to narrow the gap down but it was too late at that point :(

Overall not the most pleasant of days. The results/poles I don't mind but it felt like hell driving these races which is a shame since the Nur. GP is probably my favourite track.

Yay verrily, sing it brutha! Hallelujah! (I'm thinking of starting a cult......)

I cannot fathom a 2.04 at the ring, can barely run a 6. All I am getting is chronic, chronic understeer and this is historically my best track.

It may not solve the problem, but, try doing the pre race warmup. I had been having problems with massive understeer, particularly at the beginning of the race. That seemed to go away if I did warmup first, even if I just pottered around not actually warming up.

I have this strange experience on Kyoto. In some corners the grip reduces every once in a while and it's random.
This behaviour only appears in races, not in quali.

Slow response, I missed the post first time round. You may need to check your line. If you stray from the racing line you will notice if you look carefully, tyre debris on the track. Get on them and it's like marbles. Even though there is supposed to be no tyre wear and therefore shouldn't be any debris, there is :crazy:

My network seems to be alright. It's kinda rough in race b, maybe more people have the same experience.
It not only ruins my own races, but also others. I don't like to hit others, but it happens and I cannot prevent it under
these circumstances.

Fuji "S" and Furippu-Furoppo seems to be places where it happens most of the times

I feel like I'm about to over-inflate my DR. Even with my insistence on using the Corvette, I'm somehow regularly beating A+-rated and higher A-rated drivers. I still haven't won a race in against them yet, but I'm consistently finishing high enough to increase my DR. Once we go back to car/track combos that I don't like (read: all the races every week for the past several months), I'm gonna be matched against people who are way too quick for me. BUT YAMAGIWA IS SO FUN!!! I can't stop racing on it!

Why you would want to try and max out such a nervous car (Supra) in a C rank lobby at a track like this is beyond me. I oversteer the NSX a bit through the first chicane (the left right left after the downhill) frequently but fairly easy to catch. Once the Supras get a sniff of oversteer; sorry mate, back 2 bonfire, git gud

Ah yes, the act that I call the "Supra Doing Supra Things."
The N300 does it, the Gr. 4 does it, the Gr. 3 version does it. It's basically a Charizard from the Pokemon animated series: It can do some serious work, but it also likes to troll the 🤬 out of you.
 
Lol I somehow got a penalty for being in the vicinity of a crash. In race B on the final lap, headed into the chicane, I was 5th and 4th place lightly brushed me before punting 3rd off the track. 6th then dives in past me without braking and absolutely murders 4th...and I get a 5s penalty???

It's always been my experience that I get a penalty for hitting a car off track if I collide with them after they've already started spinning. I assumed that was because the algorithm just assumed that the last car to contact a spinning car was at fault. This time, I only lightly brushed the side of 1 of the 3 wrecked cars, and that car then collided with 2 other cars! I wasn't even the last car to touch it before it went of track, and I still get a penalty! That entire mess took me from 5th to 3rd after they all took each other out, to 8th due to the penalty.
 
Yo! I was in the Alfa Megane. Started 3rd. Passed the two lead NSXs. Lead the race for 4 laps and then I pitted. Came out around 7th. Got back up to 4th. Passed the 3rd placed NSX. My tyres were going off last lap. This GT-R divepunts me. What I did next, is not rated for General audiences.

Edit: Offed again. This time in the Supra. Well, twice! First, a Huracan can't be controlled. Goes off in to the gravel on the right slows down, I'm almost clear and it clips my rear coming back across the track. Dang, man.
Then, penultimate lap. A Slophy that probably wasn't conserving enough doesn't use the room on the outside of a turn as I'm passing it on the inside. Takes us both off and I get the 1 second. Can't win for losing.

I think the best strategy for me is the Alfa Megane. Go flat out. Build the gap. Change tyres and repeat. I'm trying to have a good race, to watch the replay. The last races, I left without saving.

Had a nice and fair final lap battle with a French dude.
Too bad the Dutch guy decided to throw himself in at the chicane, giving me a penalty I did not understand.

I did a good quali time of 1:34.038 and I have been harvesting points in the top 5 several races today.
I have been driving the Aston mostly and then the Toyota Meta car :-)
This is a tough and fun race that was the last of the night for me: Enjoy
