Daily Race C: Fuji on Softs.. absolutely despise that map but soft tires indicates something other than GR4 or GR3. Super Formula would be nice but given it’s only softs and 1 mandatory pit makes me think again it’s going to be a short race..
Daily Race B: Hard tires… I do enjoy Deep Forest but it’s hard to get excited about another Point to Point sprint race with absolutely no strategy on hard tires - Going to guess it’s probably 4-5 laps in GR4
Daily Race A: Strange combo. Might run it a few times to get my SR up. I imagine slipstream will be important so might just fall off the back and run my own race a few times just to max out my SR again
I’m honestly starting to lose my interest in GT again. There is absolutely no clear direction what way PD are going with Sport Mode. At this point in time I firmly believe they are asking ChatGPT to provide the conditions for each race every week and that’s it. I could get on board completely with what they are doing if they just communicated that they’re experimenting or that they’re trying something new each week for the time being but without that, it really just feels like they’re phoning it in at the moment I’m afraid
Each race we have 5 eligible compounds yet we are lucky if we get the choice to use more than 1.
IMO they should put more importance on tire management and open every race to have every compound available
I understand what they’re going for with a mandatory pit stop but not having to change the tire just results in everyone running the exact same race everytime, pitting on the same lap altogether, nobody changes tires because there is no clear benefit for doing so
In my opinion - throughout the week, change the track conditions, time, wind, weather etc over the course of the week and make more compounds available - for example if you want to do daily races in the evening - Make the track run on evening time in the game clock - it’s a bit darker, a bit cooler - different tire compounds can last longer on the cool track, maybe different cars will be used etc..
Make it dynamic across the entire week
Instead we get another 10 lap point to point sprint race where everybody uses the same car and runs the exact same strategy everytime. I know I’m not the only one that thinks race strategy should have a bigger factor in race pace than just being good at using the car and understanding the track. It’s just a grind fest at the moment. Similar to track mania
Even grid starts.. again I understand why they do the rolling starts, but at the top splits, Grid starts arent as chaotic and can totally change the order of the grid heading into the opening lap.
It’s just becoming such a boring grindfest at the moment where one small mistake basically ends your race. PD are just doing too much hand holding at the moment and simplifying the game play. For what reason? I’m not fully sure
