Decisions decisions. BMB long time no see, SF19 is going to be fun at Spa. First nice day in spring, getting up to 13c today. Coffee first, stupid DST. Too early!
Does it work in race as well?
Is PD even capable of this?
They think "Pffft all you do is turn left! How hard can it be?" Meanwhile I win a dozen or more races in a row here when normally I go weeks without a single win.That looked about as chaotic as I was expecting. How are some people finding driving around an oval so difficult
Actually if it's anything like the last time we had a Daily at BMB (C2 Corvette I believe), yes, wall-riding works in the race. I actually didn't see too many people doing it in the races I was in back then though.Decisions decisions. BMB long time no see, SF19 is going to be fun at Spa.

Rev as much as you can to shed fuel weight, and you get plenty of boost as well this race, don't forget to use it.Straightforward punt fest
My second race went a lot better. Chaos at the start which I managed to get through unscathed. One American rammed me off in the long left, I got him back since the penalty system doesn't do ****. Not race ruining (we finished 2nd and 3rd) but just to let him know I bite back. (No further issues rest of the race). I had some good passes, swapping places on the straight to help us both get ahead, and a great contact free battle with a Brazilian for the last 4 laps. I was slowly closing in, had him but had a 0.5 sec penalty from the long left. That turn is so broken in the sf19. You can go wide in the middle and the sf19 has no trouble getting back on the road, penalty free. Yet when you go a little bit wide (just over the kerb) at the end to avoid one of those cars shooting back, you get 0.5 sec penalty...
Penalty served, I'm behind the Brazilian again, final lap. I'm close behind him with the final chicane coming up. I take the outside, slightly ahead. I know he's going to try to out brake me through the inside. I brake a little early for an early turn in, he overshoots a little and I pass him in the chicane to take 3rd place. Great race.
yep like i have stated in the past a fight to the death for every position. Last race on brands last night was trying to pass for the lead on the final lap i was on 2 lap mediums 1st place on hards dont even know how many laps he had them on blocking weaving when it finally occurred to me that he did not use all compounds so just stuck to his bumbler and won the race via 20 sec pntly he was served. Moral of the story stupid is as stupid doesYep, despite none of the A/S races in FIA last night being clean, I still had some good finishes (from last). I would usually end up 5th or 6th in the first lap just avoiding the wreckage then already get bumped off at the right turn after the second chicane, in Ascari or Parabolica with a penalty for good measure. So back to the back on lap 2 and the penalty zone. And then slowly gaining positions again, mostly from others fighting each other. Even starting at the back had no guarantees of getting through T1 unscathed. I let go of the gas brake real early, just casually follow the last cars only to get bumped off by cars spawning behind me, going solid in the chicane and either leaving me in the sand or with a 7 second penalty
It's Monza with twitchy cars on a laggy server, it's a **** show the first 2 laps. But lap 3 you can start to breath again and still have 12 laps of actual racing to look forward to. There were still plenty people ready to barge pass, dive bomb or hump your bumper, but also those with which I had awesome close contact free racing, fully synchronized around the track trading positions a few times. It is possible to go around the track with only a few feet between the cars at all times, but too many people think that sticking a nose in gets them there faster instead of waiting for a moment where you can make a pass stick. Too many times I got up to two cars hindering each other, then one of them falls back. I pass him and want to get on to close in on the second one, only for the one I just passed forcing me to go defensive so we both slow down and the other gets away. By the time I shake the hindering car, the other has already had time to get back into hot lapping mode and has increased the gap beyond draft range. In contrast, while I was glued to another car while swapping positions on the straight, we made up time to the next car and both profited in the end. The dirty driving is not the most annoying anymore, it's the constant contesting every corner even when there is no possible chance of making a clean pass. Yet let them go ahead, they can't keep it together while in front
You wont catch me in race b with the current slipstream and penalty system. I won’t even do it with my alt.
This is the type of race that should have full damage imo. Just to sort out the idiots right away.
Nice moves dude! 
What this penalty rule is, it sure doesn't seem to apply to me. Got a 7s penalty for some guy hitting me from the outside coming down the downhill corkscrew section at Sardegna this past weekend and instant race ruined. Got another 2s penalty on a different race (same track) around the final turn. Or maybe I just suck at FIA races. Only lost about 10k DR this weekend.
