And for anyone who didn't notice, there is a 600% credit factor increase for Race C.

They finally got around to buffing the payouts for Daily Races...

Now they should stratify the strength of the reward by SR, so people would be more encouraged to race cleanly.

You're still going to have those people, but at least there will be an incentive not to be one! Positive punishment, generally, isn't as powerful.

I'm very sure it's only because it's meant to tie into the GTWS live round in Montreal that's later this week. After this, I wouldn't expect this again until the next live round. That said, I'm still interested - I'll definitely have to do some qualifying laps!

Wow, J Serrano just took the number 1 spot for Watkins, he is freaking fast at his age. So the LFA and the RX Vision are tied as the meta, now I chose the RX Vision as it has better handling of the corners and sweepers. I reduced my time to 2'00.464. I'm not too far from @MetalApe

I can't stay up too much later, I'll have to work on this some more Wednesday or Thursday. I'll keep in touch, I really hate those sweepers, they are lap killers.
 
My weapon of choice so far in Race C is the Supra. It can just about keep up with the LFA but jeez that thing can PULL!

As of this afternoon I was sitting pretty as the 4th highest-quali Toyota out there (it's easy to scan through the list when each car has a distinct colour!).

My best finish, perpetually starting 11th, was 5th... Which I'll take for now.

Funny thing is, it's like a swinging pendulum between losing DR from mediocre results, to suddenly earning more of those sweet x6 credits because you've found yourself in a weaker lobby. Not gonna knock it.

Well the LFA is a chore for me to handle when driving on the track, that's why I didn't use it anymore after 5 laps.

Here's the weekly race guide for those that are interested!

No chapter indexes? And yeah, I know - I'm an ungrateful SOB who only wants more and more from you. 😉

Hard tyres for Gr3 again 🙄 at least there's no sausages (I think?)
I'm working 14 hour days all week so likely not be racing much, if it all.

Was hoping for Gr4, I’ll be leaving this week until the weekend ☹️
 
The good news about race B is that you can do a race, then do about two practice laps, then race again. I really like that kind of flow. Also, why is it that people don’t seem to like Maggiore? Has it been used too much? (I am new here.)

Have we ever had a RS tyres in race B?

I’ve noticed lately that minor contact in a race reduces SR, and big contact (intentional or not) really reduces it.

Just want to point out that its not all contact. I was abused pretty hard last week in B and despite my car being hit hard enough to be damaged..many times..i kept getting crb’s. The hits/dmg we’re on front and rear, right and left 1/4 panels and, of course, the rear.
 
Since it's a long weekend in Canada, I'm a little late posting this video. And, as per usual I have to go against the flow and use a car that I didn't see on my leader boards. It's a little heavy but it was fun to drive.


 
Did a handful of exploratory laps for each daily.

Race A: 1:36.856 in the Focus RS. Slapped a supersexy swingin' custom Quox's Ridge Racer livery on it.

Race B: 2:00.903 in the NSX Gr.3. Needs work.

Race C: 2:00.817 in the NSX Type R '92. The nervousness through the bus stop chicane doesn't inspire confidence.

It's supposed to be only hits you caused. If someone hits you from behind, that shouldn't affect your SR. It's not close to perfect in deciding whether you deserve it or not, but that's how it's supposed to work.

Also, for some races, going off track can affect your SR, or at least your CRB. On other races, it won't affect it at all. Not sure how they decide which is which.
 
I'm tired, I took a nap for 5 hours, now I'm refreshed. So, how are you all doing at Maggiore? I'm not trying it yet. It's consisted of Group 3 cars as usual, :irked:
 
I was able to improve my QT for race A by another 0.6 seconds, but as more and more of the really fast people got their laps in, I dropped a bit on the leaderboard. Still quite happy with it, being less than 0.7 behind @Tidgney (thanks for the ghost!):

The races are good fun, too. I went for two on my practice account, P2 and a win, and it was surprisingly clean and friendly.

Love the escort/rs200 livery! ❤️
 
After a couple of weeks away from sport mode I jumped into Race C today... although its not a traditional Race C, its the best 'Race B' we have had in a while (if you get me).

I'm more comfortable with the fake Mazda then then LFA, so have been using that. The Ford GT is one of the best cars to use in the cafe menus but I cant get it to work here. Had some surpringly clean races, until my DR went up for a change and I started getting paired with A & A+ players, and then it got rough and spicy.

Its a good race though and its nice to be back after a brief sabbatical. I do think in general though (like many) the daily race format really needs a massive shake up, which wouldnt be hard for them to do. Hopefefully if the numbers were low last week they take notice.

Weird, I did the normal thing I do for Chapters and it's not registered for some reason, I'll see if I can fix it.

Edit: turns out they were to far down the description.

25 laps of trying and this is all I can show for it 🙈🙈 I really must start using a ghost because I just cannot get my head around this car (RX Vison). Pointless trying to race until I can get a bit more of a respectable time up as this track is hell if you are anywhere near the back 🤣. Any tips on Brake Balance? I'm on +4 but I reckon it should be less?

Daily Race B is inconsistent for more people than just me. I just finished my first race, P9, and I finished ahead of at least 2 A+ drivers. Doing this track in Gr.3 cars on hards just seems wrong.

Question for you guys: Why do you think PD shies away from mediums and softs so much? Do they have to pay for the used rubber or something? I mean, what possible reason could they have to avoid using tires that would make the races more fun? Aren't games supposed to be fun?

What if they made hockey players play in dress shoes instead of ice skates - would they think that would be more fun for people? I honestly have no idea why PD does the things they do. "Here, look at how much fun you could have playing our game. But not too much fun!"

I didn't know that could be an issue. I've always put them near the top, I guess - never really thought about it. I'm guessing you haven't either. 😛

I am looking forward to watching your guides. And incredible top time at Sardegna, you totally nailed the track 1000%.

Dull skates suck! (And frankly, like dull knives, kinda dangerous)

Its a good point. Not for nothing, the ability to make evasive moves with a bit more conviction, would be great. Especially, given the number of clowns these days. More viable lines.

What would be reasons for hard tires..?

-dull skates promote cautions driving?(nah)
-some sort of lap time thing?

Honestly, im at a loss. But kind of curious as to why hards are such a popular choice and softs the least.
