Race C:

Which corners are safe overtaking spots here?
Besides the hairpin everything else just calls for trouble, doesn't it?
Several times I had a run on them into Westfield, but they just don't care.
Even if I'm almost ahead on the inside, they just turn in.

How to defend into Surtees?
For obvious reasons, I enter rather wide, aiming for a late apex,
but this seems to look like an invitation to many B/S guys.

Umm, got to say if you get along on the inside on the straights that is your other best bet. As for everything else, yeah, a lot of B/S drivers and below go for anything that looks halfway open, just drive a slower inside line and park it unfortunately. Slower but I suppose it beats getting barged wide or penalized for being on the outside. At least that was how I handled it on daily B.

Surely someone at PD is having a good laugh at putting BMB right after Monza! How many race B chaos weeks cam we have? Brands, Big Willow, Monza and now BMB? I like, although mainly because I have some sick fun doing well at them. Even racing clean

I did surprisingly well during the rain event last go around at Spa so definitely looking forward to it in dry conditions. Guessing it will be SF19 or RBJ.

As for BMB, wish there was a spectator option for viewing the madness. Just sit back with some beers and catch some quality entertainment.

At least it's not a repeat of an all japonese selection..
If it's true that PD reads this forum, I think we should send them positive feedback..
They're not there yet, but this is the right direction I believe..

Oh yeah. Don't get me wrong, I know it will still be a bloodbath. :mischievous:

I guess BMB is Pocodega, Tallapono... or whatever you call it. Cool, never had that in a sanctioned race, only offline lounge.

But I couldn‘t care less about the Pink Floyd of tracks (again) and Spa being molested with some futuristic carriage.

I am taking the safe route and do almost all my overtaking on the straights. Going a little slower in and setting up for a good exit line makes me pass them before the brake zone.
 
I just realized my dilemma for next week's races. If BMB goes as well as it did last time for me, I'll easily be in DR A+ within a few races, which means I'm going to be WAAAAAAY out of my depth in the FIA races as the game will probably put me in the top splits.

I could just avoid BMB, but this is my favorite track in the game, and it had been literally over a year since the last time it showed up in a Daily Race rotation. I could just not qualify and race up from the back, but that would hurt my average start and finish for this track. I guess I have to hope the car for Race C isn't the F1500T, because I've never finished off the podium in that car after several dozen races (Daily and FIA), and if it comes up I WILL race it and try to keep that streak alive.

I guess I'll just have to tank my DR in Race A before any FIA races I plan to do next week so I can at least be competitive instead of a field filler in them.
 
I do not think i have raced a more dirty race than what i did today.. it was everyone going at each other, when someone was getting close to me i did not take the defensive line, no, i took the line where i could not be pushed of track..

One guy did succeed, problem for him was i am holding strong on my slow, medium, fast tactic, so i could easily catch up, and even if it pains me to say it, take out my revenge.

I then checked the replay to make sure that i did not have to send him an i am sorry msg, what i saw was a driver that got punted, beat up, smashed into and did the same to everyone else. It was destruction derby in slow motion without visible damage, naturally when he got to me, he was so pissed that nothing mattered...

PD needs to fix this now, it is breaking the game and the community..

Here is an example of how to pass if you cannot make it clean...
