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

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.

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

Maybe with a steering wheel, but I have trouble doing it with the Jaguar as a controller user and with BOP applied.

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 Eau Rouge/Raidillon flat-out in a Gr.3 Jaguar could be your first homework assignment on your journey to getting faster?
 
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 The numbers and results are illustrative rather than calculated using PD’s unpublished formula, but the underlying principle is that your DR movement depends on the relative ratings of the drivers you finish ahead of and behind.

I really like the graphic, but it just reinforces my disbelief that anyone could find the DR system hard to understand.

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

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 😁

I run early mate before work so an extra half hour get up is fine for me.
