Nice to see at @brockie today 😎 during my first race this week. We seemed to be in with a bunch of GR4 aliens! You had a good result though 😃

The next race was 'interesting'... Went from P13 to P4 on the exit of the death chicane 🤣


Yeah good to see you too, I started plum last and finished 9th and due to some A+ in there I gained DR, I was chasing you too hard and fluffed the first two send bends a little,

Gr3 Brands!!!! That could be interesting, but I said the same about Monza and that was a cracker, so let’s see there. Race A could be interesting
 
Race A could be interesting

Got a horrible suspicion it might be a one-make in the new update Race Mod Camaro. Please no.

Race A has been pretty good recently, really enjoying the different character/feel of the cars they're chosing. The 911 this week is fun to drive, as was the NSX last week.

Spoiled only by the (fast) drivers who seem to be doing the races every day all day and who can't handle getting ovettaken, even when as a result of their own errors. And why is it these kinda guys always have their own liveried-up garage cars, while most normal people use rentals?

Or better still the Renault fam wagon 🤣

Yeah it’s a shame there isn’t more liveries in the rentals area, I do like to choose one myself now and again, got a fantastic Mobil 1 livered G70 and a green GTWS livered ‘17 911 RSR

Oh hopefully B and C are good fun this week! Just watched a YouTube of race C looks like it could be fun and good racing!!!!

Race B all week again for me then. Happy with that. I hate having to learn new tracks! (Aka laziness!)

They’re all new tracks to learn for me 🤦‍♂️😂 I get so excited when a repeat track pops up for me!!!

Hoping race C is good next week as like a longer race

Gr.3 or Gr.4? RH tyres are usually combined with Gr.4 machinery. Maybe Kyoto will be Gr.3!

@Stringerbell I've broken the 7 minute marker with my best qualy time of 7:58:796. My optimal was 7:55:577. I tried various cars today for qualy runs such as M6, new Porsche & 4C even but nothing comes close to my comfort level with the AMG GT3 '20.

Good spot on the RH, hope you’re right as the RH Gr3 I find super slippy!!!

Let’s gooooo on the 7 min mark!!! Congrats!!!! Nice to see you’ve got 3 seconds in it as well, gives you something to push for!! How are the races going?
 
Brands Hatch is my best track so I'm happy. Usually I'd love a Gr4 race there as I have mostly used the Citroen in the past, but not as fun now it's the usual meta. Hopefully it's Gr3 instead even though people will moan it's too narrow like they do with Laguna Seca.

Today I raced there just three times as was busy during the day. I finished 2nd in one & 3rd in another. The third was average as I finished in 7th. I always take it easy for first half of the 1st lap because some drivers want to make overtaking moves. Once everything settles down, I focus on keeping the race error free as much as possible.

This is a welcome track to get. Gr.3 or 4 would be fun here. Only issue is the race will be 5 laps or so. Le Mans in Race A with RM tyres is also interesting. Last time we raced there we had Gr.1 cars with progressive night to day shift with weather pattern.
 
But how is it possible that out of the top 100 drivers in all of Gran Turismo, a Frenchman managed to come in first place at the Nürburgring with a time of 7 minutes and 41 seconds? I don't mean to sound cheeky or mean, but I was faster than that player who's in first place on the podium. 🤔

I set a new lap time at the Nürburgring. Before, I had something like 6 minutes 35 or 30, oh well, I don't remember. And now I have a new best time of 6 minutes 28 seconds. I beat the AMG One in real life! :)

You're comparing your random time trial - without BOP - and seemingly at the Nordschleife with Daily Race qualifying at the longer, and reverse direction, Endurance II course.

This is the Daily Race discussion thread, so naturally everyone (else) is discussing the current event. Try the practice mode for this event to get a representative time.
 
I am completely clueless/useless at the 'Ring backwards, lol. Like, haven't managed to complete a lap yet kinda useless. I didn't feel so bad when I entered practice and have ZERO friends with a time posted. Zero. It's a big ol' overflowing Cup-O-Nope over there. 🤣🤣🤣

I think I may be one of the few who would claim this track is more fun in reverse. From Sector 4 to 9 it's really enjoyable.
 
@Fezzik @Uday9479

Race B should be gr3 next week only because this week is gr4, I actually think brands would be better as gr4 and even better gr4 FF drivetrain because gr3 on RH, you mostly be mowing the lawn when ppl put you there 🤣

@art3mis then next week is the week you spend it at Brands to banish that view, really it’s a cracking track that has a bit of everything - could be great week

Thank you okay :)
 
First time ever that I can't manage to be fast with the leaderboard car (Atenza), even after checking the replays of the top players + adjusting the brake balance. Which I always do.
Seems like you guys don't have any problem with this car.
Have fun

Elantra TCR one-make. A proper touring car race.

Sad Please Please Please GIF by myHQ
I've long wanted to see a split in GR.4 in this game. There's too many TCR cars in the GR.4 bucket and the game would be better if they were split. Not only would it offer a more interesting and possibly robust daily rotation it would also allow PD to BOP more accurately between the various cars and I think we'd all like that a lot.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not hating it, I just SUCK at it, LOLOLOL.

Was throwing the old RSR around there and with the RS's on you can do some pretty stupid stuff and still manage to keep it on track. I just gotta figure the place out. Nothing is where it is supposed to be yet somehow is in exactly the right spot.🤣🤣

:cheers:
 
Nice work mate!!! How did your hot laps go? Did you get into the 7's? 8 mins is such a long lap, I'm not sure I'm emotionally stable enough to do a great quali and then make a mistake near the end and not lose my mind :lol:



Thanks for this Dex, I tried is last night and was much much smoother and more consistent and actually got the car stopped quicker with just a slightly smoother application of the brake made the world of difference and picked me up 4 or 5 wins out of the 8 races I did!!!!

How's the enjoyment and immersion? Now you're just as quick are you finding it way more fun with the wheel?

Just got to bite the bullet and hold on for dear life and hope the times it comes off is when you have put the rest of the lap together first!!!!

Congrats mate, lovely bit of racing that at the end. I've had some mares with some idiots but have had more good, hard, fair racing as well with 3 or 4 different people last night with the lead chopping and changing which was great fun. When it's like that it keeps you coming back for more doesn't it!!!!

Congrats on the win mate. I personally don't think it's worth it in the race, the 1 or 2 tenths you lose by lifting slightly can easily be negated by nailing other corners and obvs a wall hit or crash is a nightmare, I've also found that if someone behind takes it flat out they usually get over excited closing in on me for the final corner and overshoot allowing me to get a better exit and extend the gap.

I think they're guilty of what I'm guilty of mate! hot lapping where everything goes right and the COD flat comes off, I'm hitting late 48's/early 49's race pace and my quali is mid 47.
Hell yeah, stoked that helped.

A couple of the corners that are normally uphill are so outrageously good on the reverse layout with the extra speed. Bergwerk and Flugplatz are particularly ridiculous.

Need to put some time in on the quali and find a couple seconds but there's no time between the races lol, just rush out of the lobby and barely catch the next one every time. Really would like to get a top 100 while this race is up.

This is slightly late... (did this last night)

I always run daily races on tracks that I am good on and despite it being run in reverse I am somewhat good at this race at the Nordschleife.
I realize this can be considered as one of the hardest because of the direction and thus still I have won this race (which really surprised me).

I have to thank @Imbissbrunto for the great livery of Max's ride in the upcoming 24hr at Nurburgring, I think it gave me some luck....
 
We finally have the A 😬😬😬😬😬

Well for the next 3 to 4 races anyway 🤷‍♂️

Bloody love Dragon Trail!!! Gardens got me from C to mid B and Seaside took me from Mid B to A!!! I’m off to email PD about making a 3rd Dragon Trail Track!!!!

Had 1 race in A, started in 6th was under 2 tenths off pole and made my way up to 4th, 2 crashes in the COD and I’m coming through behind and the car stationary on the track doesn’t ghost 😡😡 absolutely raging! Came 13th!!! Pretty much exact same thing that happened to Mr B!!!

I’m going back in for 1 more before bed as can’t leave it on that!!!!
