I had 2 bad starts in race C at Eiger today. I, of course, am in the yellow car up front that got punted by the red car, right at the start. I almost made it to the first turn. I was pretty pissed at the red car but, on further analysis, he got pushed into me. The red car received a 4 second penalty, I don’t think it was his fault.
The white car that started it finished 3rd
The red car 6th, one ahead of me.



The 2nd bad start, my wheel (DD Pro) apparently was 1 turn off at the start. As soon as the race started, hard right into the fence… 6th place 🤷🏻‍♂️

Time for a cocktail 🥃
 
Quick question - in these daily races are all the cars genuine people racing or are some of the races made up of AI cars ?
 
They are all humans mate.

Next week:

Uh-oh, Race C is gonna be a nightmare. The Nords is back. Thank god I finally see Blue Moon Bay for the first time in ages. A and B should be a great combo next week, so I'm hyped up about it. What about you guys? So, why do they have an endurance layout there? Is that the one with the extra pit lanes.

I bet it will be a 2-lap races at Nords. Because if it is required to pit then we would have to do it on Lap 2, I would think that's the case.

With the hard banking at Blue Moon I think this is going to be a great race in Gr4 🤞

C will please a lot of people & streamers I feel

Even A is a good track for a shortish race just wondering what the car will be was hoping M3 (E36) but CS makes me feel something less powerful or older.
 
Yeah, let's get the party started early for next week. It's about time PD featured Blue Moon Bay in the daily races. Idk when the last time we saw it, it could have been last year. @GrumpyOldMan may know since he owns Grantracker. I hope that will be enough fuel for the C races. I won't be doing many of them next week, but I'm gonna try my hand at a few and see how it goes.
 
Lol, I'm sure a majority of people will be excited about this upcoming week. How much you want to bet?

Although this has very little to do with Daily Races... the 1.49 update two weeks ago changed the underlying game physics, and it's resulted in changes to Performance Point calculations almost across the board.

Ill probably be doing just daily C but B got my attention.
Gr. 4 on Blue moon has potential
 
I am cautiously optimistic about the Nordschleife. Was not there a mention somewhere that slicks are kinda working in wet conditions, when they should not be?

Fingers crossed for a great time. Hope that it is longer than 2 laps. :D
 
Are we assuming Gr.3's for Nord' and 4's for BMB? Not sure how I feel about Gr.4 at the Nordschleife...plenty of time to sit back and appreciate the rainy landscape and lighting as you plod along the main straight, I suppose.🤣

And <Car Settings> on A? Is that normal? Sorry, don't run A often so don't pay much attention...my bad.😁

Blue Moon! That's a rarity. Oh and Nürburgring; I suck at that...

Looking around at some of my fellow Americans, sometimes I question this! LOL.

Does anybody at PD remember that there are some tracks called "St. Croix"?

I really liked St. Croix the only time we had it. Wish it featured more often.

Also, since the update, I’ve had to crank my DD Pro (8nm) wheel up from 6 to 10. That being said, after driving Eiger Nordwand for a week, it all feels pretty responsive and natural.

I have an F1500 T and a Dalara S.F. 23 that I drove at Monza however, that feels like FF is turned off. On long straights, I used to have to turn it down to 5 or less.

If they were AI, my success rate would be much higher

Me too, ive noticed that there was quite a few drivers that were at the back of the grid all with the lap time of 1.22 min (recent Honda eigor daily race) which made me wonder if they were AI - but maybe people don't set a track time ? i can see the fun in that as they work through the field,

Prior to the race start, what does the warm up session do ? - as it only seems to last for about 30 seconds, if that

It's just somewhere to check your settings etc while the lobby loads. It's not really warm up. It's more useful in a slow loading lobby where someone is struggling to join

+1 to what @newmedia_dev said.👍

Also worth mentioning that it sometimes turns into an impromptu demolition derby, donut session, drift workout, etc. Don't get mad.😁

I think it’s an excuse for them to take time to set the room order (just a guess on my part).
I use it as the time to make sure my fire extinguisher is within reach and my helmet and 5 point harness are synched 🤪

I shall now view it differently as from now on that sounds like a prompt for "game on" all be it for 30 seconds ..............I tried a late night race the other day in the Honda single seater, but felt like all were putting me in their cross hairs as i was the only one in a livery - Ferrari Red with all the others bog standard white livery 😐
