Good tip, maybe I'm going to try this later this week. The M6 is stable for me in the bus stop, but I keep ruining my own races because I'm not careful enough on the throttle on the hard tires. I can choose to really drive on the edge of oversteer and be on par with my peers, or drive too carefully to keep it on the road, and lose about a second per lap at least.
Yeah I’ve found the same at deep forest, I don’t know why I don’t like it because it’s actually a good track but it’s got some places where passing won’t fly and other places where you can get it wrong and you’ll get paid back, but this week I’ve had some excellent racing, I’ve been driving the 458 and got a 35.6 but I’ve struggling to stay with the Atenza in races,
Nice story with complementing pictures! Wise decision making is very beneficial for good race results, although it can sometimes be a bit tricky when you have to decide split second.
Anyone would probably think I'm trying to be bashful or flaunt my victories.....Thing is end of March I was almost going to end my PS membership as I wasn't finding the spark in my skills anymore + many a times track + car combos don't suit me which even makes me want to quit.
I am having similar issues. My QT is quite strong at a 44.5, upper mid pack is all DR-A rooms, I have race pace too which is great but a combination of small errors and overly aggressive drivers barging me off when i do make an error, i had two from 2 poor races last night. The first was annoying as I ran a good race but fell a-foul of the most RIDICULOUS pit lane exit, like WTH? I clipped the line BECASE THAT'S WHERE THE AUTO DRIVE SENDS YOU! Cost me 4 places, super annoyed. Second race I made a tiny mistake, 0.5 sec penalty and got absolutely mobbed, shoved and bullied off track from 4th to 14th.
haha you're too quick for B mate, especially now you've fixed your CSA issue.
Great to hear you're getting the buzz back mate, keep posting all your wins and races, they're enjoyable tor read!!!!
Oh I think I might have a go with the Nissan then as I am getting bogged down massively in those turns and haven't got the finesse to come out in second without waiting an eternity. Had a few laps with it and it deffo pulls out those corners! I can’t control the understeer on the right hander after the chicane though and just drift waaaaay out wide
It's not the exit, it's the entry. The penalty pings on exit but you pick it up on entry; I demonstrated it some time back to... someone who never stuck around long enough to read it.
I watched the replay and the 3 seconds pops up after I exit, but not sure what caused it. On entry I 100% DO NOT touch the outside line, I may touch the inside one a bit but the guy behind me went WAY over it and onto the kerbing and did not get a penalty. On exit I trip over the outside line right as auto drive turns off, I think this is what triggered the penalty.It's not the exit, it's the entry.

If you watch the replay of any race in which you get the penalty you'll see it's from clipping the line (and clipping is enough) on entry.
It always does, whether it happens at entry or exit.
Yeah, if you don't steer with the autodrive then you can absolutely do that, but the autodrive itself doesn't drive you into it. There's a couple like that, with Watkins Glen being a pretty sudden example wherein it can happen within tenths if you don't catch it.
Nothing else really works, that extra lap on softs and you risk the front left going to zero.
I just tested this because I was dead last after some bell me dove bombed me at the chicane.
3 seconds?
Yeah i do think that is what got me, i really avoided that line on entry and still got stung.
Yeah, if you touch either line you get three seconds, so if you really screw it up there's six seconds waiting. But the notification for both entry and exit penalties come on pit exit, and the AI autodrive doesn't take you into the pit lane exit line; it releases you on that trajectory a couple of tenths before you touch it so you have to be ready to catch it.
It’s even tricky in VR and I’m looking at the whole car.
Typically it’s the outside lines but it depends on what the track limit setting is, if it’s championship a lot of circuits penalise the inside line. I think WG is odd but haven’t actually tested it with where the inside track limit is as there is one on over cutting the curb when racing
I've have been pitting lap 6 for the undercut in the Nissan with good results, especially if there is fighting ahead. You need to really save tires in the fast right-hander after the bus stop and also save a bit in the last corner, but otherwise it has been fine.
Not my finest hour today!
