Isn’t there a version of WG which doesn’t have a bus stop? Like Monza, seems a faux pas not to have chose that one.

Anyways probably need a week out.
 
Here's this week guide! Not a huge fan of the constant use of the Nurburgring but certainly some very odd combos this week! Downforce = Danger is what I take from this one though haha!

Race B looked crazy even in A+ lobbies!

I didn't realise you can take the penultimate corner flat as well 😲
 
Was really hoping for Gr4 at Watkins. Better racing I think than the much quicker prototypes.

Also Gr2 at Nurb Sprint. Wth?

Think I’ll be over on Simgrid Season (tho’ may give Watkins in Gr1 a try).
 
B is going to be a bugger this week. So far got a 1:31 and I know there's time there but how to get it. Will watch Tidges vid because how you take the bus stop flat I don't know the Bugatti just says nope you in the wall son.

Edit: first race, qualified 8th, got 3rd thanks to said bus stop causing a huge crash.

Even just doing QT is fairly joyless for me in B this week, I love Watkins it is my favourite track and one of my strongest.

But it's hard to enjoy hyper twitchy cars with insane levels of grip and then exiting the bustop 5ft in the air at 150mph in to a barrier.

Also using their recommended settings the feeling is pretty awful in a few of the corners with heavy coging and oscillation. Rather unpleasant to be frank.

And the worst thing is, the race is 8 laps, so anything can happen during that period. I ran a first decent lap of 1'25.342 in the NSX Concept, which is the meta car. Well we can't say that this has been the worst combination. That Jimny tuned race at Alsace was bad and they allowed some people to do engine swaps with a slightly more powerful car.

If any of you want to see my first Sprint lap, it's in the showcase. Or you can search my profile name, rising_glass1 and find it there in the replays section. I need to polish up my driving if I want to get in the 1'21.000 club.

This was not a lot of fun to get in to the 1.28s let alone wanting to get in to the 1.27/6s

Edit:

I'd love to see how this week stacks up to other weeks.

The A player base has been largely conditioned to slower races and cars (memes included)

B player base was pretty much Gr4 and Gr3 sprints

C players longer races with or without strat

This week has mixed that up quite a bit so may well be received well or just turn people away.

Anecdotally the people I speak to on my leaderboards aren't very invested in this week. Will be interesting to see.

Good lord, 3s gap from 1st to 390!?
 
B/S ranking so far the pole time is hovering around 1:29 so don't worry too much.
 
Logged in for 30 minutes. Had a little go at Race B and Race C time trials, came to the conclusion that I hate them both and logged out.

See you in a week, good luck and Merry Xmas 🎅🏻🤣🤐

It's still early and probably not a race that pulls a lot of the normal names in to B as they are all going to be in C because "Nurbs" and also practice for Saturday.

That's why the spread looks massive, in reality I'd be back the 1500 and 750 if I did more and got in the the 1:27s

Just GR1 is an acquired taste, not to mine or a lot of others but some love them so fair play.

It's not Christmas yet unless it is in your country, Malta. We're hoping to see you back racing with us soon. Take care and enjoy your break.

Well I survived the 24th track and I got a lap under 9 minutes, hooray!! 8'48.140

I saved my replay in the showcase so people can use it as a helpful guide. I chose the BMW M6 Endurance model, the blue one. I will confess I had to use the braking indicator and the area assist to help guide me, but I do what I have to do to survive.

The worst thing about qualifying at Nordschleife is missing a braking point or spinning out about 6 minutes into the lap, after doing well up to that point. :banghead:

I'll try the C race at least once, but won't bother setting a time, because I can do without the frustration.

It'll feel like someone else driving?

That was definitely the gist 🤣

It's a very interesting thing that PD want people to practice for Saturday, C being essentially a short version of Saturday and the credit multiplier (and I could be wrong on this but for most sport players money/credits isn't the reason they race)

It makes me feel these races have been presented to push players to C to increase the pool in C and probably the GTWS as they aren't expecting big numbers for it. Not ideal if you want to regain that esports platform crown.
 
Not done a daily in about 4 months focusing on the GTWS instead. Thought a Nurb week with a Nurb GTWS race on Sat would be worth a look, especially on a Monday. Hmm. Span on my qualy lap so a few seconds down. Then the start glitches with the cars going a few meters and then stopping and hitting reverse. I waited for the countdown and went to first but the car ahead didn't move and it was like getting a shopping trolley with dodgy wheels around to get past whilst others tried to blast past also. So I lost out at the start of the lap. However there were still incidents to gain from. That is until Adenauer Forst. The car decided not to brake or turn in. I managed to slow it across the grass but that was it. For about another lap to lap and a half the car was just understeering everywhere with cake brakes. I was promptly back into P15 and last. I gained from a few spinners and quitters but came home (not last) in P10. Thankfully only a smidge down on the DR. I might go again this week but we'll see.

Wasn’t the payoff only in race B last week? I recall noticing the +600 was present on B, but missing from the entry screen of c. Between a really busy week, and bad timing, i never got to actually race.
 
Super rusty. Lots of time to gain for this week's QTs. Bonking the walls repeatedly failed to shake out all the cobwebs.

Race A: 1:21.485 - NSX Concept-GT

Race B: 1:31.529 - Hyundai N 2025 VGT (Gr.1)

Race C: 8:34.268 - NSX Gr.3

Last week was daily B 6x but again group 3

And it was a very very difficult race in B last week.

They are trying to drag different racers to different races. I can only say I'm not the target audience for this stuff as daily race credits aren't even something I look at, nor do a lot of the streamers etc.

As a side note, daily races aren't a credit farm and once you have a good race 5000 races ago I never looked back on credits.

I'd imagine they are throwing A and B under the bus for C/gr 3 balancing for the World Series final.

This isn't a bad thing but there are better crow bars than making awfully polarising races.

I think this credit multiplier is not aimed at us (the regular sport mode users) because we do this races no matter how bad the payments are.
Maybe they are trying to enlarge the pool of players in sport mode making the payments more "attractive" for the single player "credit farmer"?
 
This will be a week I'll never forget, it's got everyone talking about how great it is, I haven't even started qualifying yet at W.G. I'll pick my own car until I don't improve like I want to and then I'll be forced to use the Bugatti. I'm debating whether I want to risk racing at the 24th track or just do what I normally do and switch between A and B with the racing. I need to make a decision cause time is marching on.

No Chris that is not what is happening.

The views are polarised and no one is talking on here about race wins or epic races.

It's a very tough week, deliberately so.

I will be massively surprised if daily participation is up or steady this week.

I also imagine the GTWS are going to be sparsely populated.

PD do PD but sometimes they don't get it right for us but they have an agenda.
 
Ok, thank you are clarifying that, well then I don't know how much I'll get done this week, I might just focus on the B races, maybe do a few Group 2(Sprint) races and that's about it. I'm not even gonna touch the GTWS because I know most drivers will beat me in the race. Well I'm another guy that's gonna sit out for the 24th races, I only did one lap of 8'48.140 there and that's gonna be it. It's just too long of a track and there are so many turns and corners that you have to remember in order to set a really good time, and I'm just not fit for that.
