When you need 3rd to make the top 24 superstars... you pull off this move to then be ploughed off the circuit.... This kind of thing frustrates me greatly especially the car reset! I mean I've literally been ploughed into let me continue on....



I'd never touched Monza in GT Sport before tonight and I'd done a total of 16 laps before race start (Including qualifying)... now I know why.

(Penalty is from the dude brake checking matty and me and Bellof all then hit each other)

Really unlucky, don't really know what he was trying to do, he had nowhere to go so should have backed out of it.
You move was really nice as well
 
Love the matchmaking in this game. For the nations I was in a group of mostly AS with 3 BS. Qualify on pole and drive away to a nice, easy victory.
For the manufacturers suddenly I am in with the best drivers in Europe, there was like 13 A+ drivers in there. Was nice to watch the aliens drive away from me :)

Still don't like Dragon Trail for that do or die chicane though. One little mistake and the race is over.
 
Anybody got the point rankings of the Top 10 in the EMEA region going into the finals?

Just had a look at the Asia/Oceania region and it seems likely that Nik_Makozi could go for his 8th Nations Cup title and possibly his 2nd Manufacturers Series win.
 
NEW FORMAT: Races every Wednesday and Saturday (check in-game calendar). Some of you probably spotted this earlier.

WEDNESDAY:
NATIONS: SUZUKA - GR2
MANUFACTURERS: DRAGON TRAIL - GR4

Mentioned this earlier, personally if this is the case this suits me much better. Pretty sure some won’t like it and Saturday won’t be the best day for some but personally find it difficult to enter so many in a week.
 
I was surprised so many people pitted in the Manufacturers Cup race at BB last night, the tyres were dead after 10 laps but the pace was decent enough to just hang on.
Tires, maybe but it would've also required a bit of fuel saving. From what I could tell, it would've gained around 15 seconds of track time. I think I would've been able to attempt it but I didn't need to for obvious reasons. :)

It's always a great feeling when you execute a move like that, planned or otherwise. A shame about getting booted off the track, though. I'm not a big fan of following someone that closely into corners for that very reason. Unless you're familiar with that driver and their braking points, the smallest deviation and you're just asking for a penalty.
 
Quick question how does the game weigh the factors to get into the Top 24 race?
I'm 19th on the region (1st in HK) at Nations right now but my DR is still at A :banghead:

Use that 24 race to be an A+ guy then Cider.
 
Will be the seaside on as the garden got released yesterday.

It is Seaside but that isn't a reason.

Tsukuba had a race on the first day. Monza had a race on the first day. Blue Moon Bay Infield had a race on the first day.
 
Depends, if someone has more DR below you won’t they get in. I thought it took DR into account first then standings?
Welp, I got into the Top 24 :D
I'm honored to be midfield fodder for the aliens! Qualified smack dab in the middle of the field at 11th out of 22, and had an awesome first lap!
No penalties, bur really close racing and 3-wide side by side action :)
Moved up to 10th in my first stint, but I went a wee bit too deep into T3, and smashed into the new tire barriers :lol:
Relegated into 16th, but with the help of some strategies (read: shortshifting 4 dayz) and accidents of other people, I managed to scrap myself back to 12th :) The funnest race I had in a while, really! Hopefully I can muster enough points once more so I can get into this top split again :D


But my DR is still A reeeEEEEEEEEEEEE

Glad you got in sounds like you had a good race!

I take it that was a top split, and yet people with high ratings cannot race with others cleanly. How has he rear ended you that hard there? Clueless. You were super unlucky

Far to many fast, but cannot race for **** type drivers out there imo. PD needs to rework SR ratings.

It's Monza, a place that seems to attract the more aggressive drivers. That and the talent level of the field is generally lower because the fastest guys avoid it. It's too easy for your race to be ruined by something well out of your control.

Case in point (around the 2:50 mark):



The one that hit me wasn't even responsible as they got hit themselves. I will fully admit that after the game reset my car and essentially relegated me to last, this had crossed my mind on what I had wanted to do to anyone that got in my way.

One of these days I will be at a race at Monza and that will not happen, but I am not holding my breath.

Ye was the top split and I believe the one after didn't have enough points so knew I had to get in early. The fact I'd done 11 laps before entering, then 5 laps in qualifying (As warm up bugged and wouldn't let me out) and I can still race clean here and others can't is crazily disappointing. Still love the move I did though, was an awesome feeling to nail haha!

Apparently the person who hit me has a reputation for it and to be honest he hit me later in the race to so I suspect it makes sense, just disappointing to see. I do wish there was a video report feature because if the same person is hitting people off multiple times to me there needs to be some form of penalty. As longs there's multiple valid reports that is but that would require resource so not sure it's feasible.

Your overtake was great. Double slipstream, clean, made the apex. Text book.

You're style of driving is what I expect from every single top driver, but as we both know, that's not the case. Accidents do happen, but they happen far to often imo.
 
You can report someone straight after the race for interfering with the race but you'd have to know for certain who it was and whether or not it actually does any good reporting them is unknown too. You'd think though that multiple reports about the same person, especially if from the same race, would make PD keep a close eye on said person at least.
 
Just got a blue screen when quitting the pitstop in the Top 24 superstars qualifying... This game is so nerveracking sometimes. If the race haven't yet started they could at least let us rejoin the group! :banghead::banghead:
 
So is it top 24 superstars or top 30?
