I wish it was the top mate, not even in top 2,000 pace is so rapid this week 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️It’s certainly tough at the top en? 😂😂

Is Sport Mode seriously getting underway at 5am? That's monstrous scheduling! Here's me, avoiding Daily Races anytime after 1am due to potential carnage.Wow that Jag is a much better race car to drive, for me at least, it’s better in the corners and doesn’t feel so sluggish pulling out of them, that’s it, that’s my car for the duration.
Reaching the lofty heights of upper B, just raced a mixed A/B lobby starting 12th and managed to bring it home in 5th 😁
Just caught this Aston Martin on the final straight and took him by a hundredth!
As close as it was, could have been an 8th finish too
Honestly my friend, you need to get rid of this idea that you're somehow handicapped by using a controller. With this mental approach, you're already setting yourself up to underachieve.Maybe with a steering wheel, but I have trouble doing it with the Jaguar as a controller user and with BOP applied.
well I would too, I'm not a fana' that tec.I've tried using two Thrustmaster wheels in the past, but they both disappointed me, so I returned them.
I really like the graphic, but it just reinforces my disbelief that anyone could find the DR system hard to understand.Got Chat Jippity to knock this up.
With the following caveat from it:
“
Put this together to help explain why the same finishing position can produce very different DR outcomes depending on the lobby. The numbers and results are illustrative rather than calculated using PD’s unpublished formula, but the underlying principle is that your DR movement depends on the relative ratings of the drivers you finish ahead of and behind.

It gets misunderstood so much and I think people switch off at the math side or the concept of ELO’ish systems they get confused and then opinion becomes stated more factually and then Famine does his 1 quarterly “people this is how it bloody works”I really like the graphic, but it just reinforces my disbelief that anyone could find the DR system hard to understand.
5am is great time to be racing mate, I think there is a lot who do that but I can never be quite sure if it’s someone late night or early morning, being an hour later on the continent 😁Is Sport Mode seriously getting underway at 5am?

I had one experience, and watched others suffer it as well, that somehow made it all make sense. I won a race and lost DR. That, for me, made it painfully obvious that there's a LOT more going on than simply getting six points for third place, for instance. There is no straight line that says 'finish here, get this many points' and I really think a lot of folks are hoping there is.🤣It gets misunderstood so much and I think people switch off at the math side or the concept of ELO’ish systems they get confused and then opinion becomes stated more factually and then Famine does his 1 quarterly “people this is how it bloody works”
Thought a more infographic approach might aid comprehension a bit more
Thanks, but why am I having so much trouble getting the same qualifying times as expert players even when I go through the same tracks again and again and again?Is Sport Mode seriously getting underway at 5am?

It must be a heady mix of early-risers, insomniacs and stoners. Fair play to you.

Maybe Eau Rouge/Raidillon flat-out in a Gr.3 Jaguar could be your first homework assignment on your journey to getting faster?
My guy. Are you actually trolling at this point? 🤣Thanks, but why am I having so much trouble getting the same qualifying times as expert players even when I go through the same tracks again and again and again?
Because you haven't put in enough time. Bruce Lee once said: I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 timesThanks, but why am I having so much trouble getting the same qualifying times as expert players even when I go through the same tracks again and again and again?
