No, you were confused because the images are in the wrong order, they're shown as C-B-A

Not if that image was labeled correct. The track order there was C, B and A which makes no sense. So perhaps it is Autopolis if the image order is A, B and C and the letters are just wrong.
No. For this and other crossgen Sony games the few available figures show that people either bought on PS5 or didn't buy at all.
Autopolis is C.
You know, I just watched the replay from the view of the other drivers and I realized now that I did them a disservice! Their driving was good.
I edited my original post. I commented from my in car live recording view at the time and the hit after the first going off looked to be a TCR driver but in fact we were three abreast at that point and it was the other car. The TCR lad was on the outside. Quite impressive driving on their part to overtake on the outside of turn 1, get hit themself and still manage to keep it together.
The other TCR guy in the 911, made rapid progress through the field and I think actually now, where we come together is more my fault. I move right on my racing line and I think I fail to notice him there, or I am taken by surprise at his rapid advance on me - added by my slightly slower turn 4/5 as I was wider than I would have liked. That one could have been avoided with me being more aware and staying in the center of the track.
So my apologies and good driving to TCR.
So my start there was less than impressive in my driving. I think I am like @GrumpyOldMan. We can only drive and do well if we start on pole and no one bothers us.
While I like Suzuka, I have to say, AGAIN? It seems, along with the TTs this has been used a lot recently. There are so many other tracks....
XJ220 on the Watkins Glen Short Course seems like a wasted opportunity. That car should have a longer circuit to stretch it legs on. Like, would you be able to get to 200mph at Watkins?
Are you short shifting enough to really hammer down the straights? That's where all the time is made a?
I hear you, I really hear you....cause I'm back in D....why?
same for me
Yep, I tell you I'm just back from a sport mode session, 2 B races, first one I was literally sandwiched between two guys while I was overtaking one of them, obviously it didn't finish well, so lost other points.
Curious, where do people like me who bought the PS5 version that included the PS4 download fit into the equation? To me, it didn't make sense to get the PS4 version if I knew I'd be upgrading to a '5 at some point. Not sure if it'd make a difference, or if it even matters, but thought I'd ask.
Yeah, this last month has been miserable. Since the end of July, I've gone from DR A at 5% (which I knew I wouldn't keep) down to DR B at 66%. It well and truly sucks.
Oddly enough, that doesn't happen to me a lot, but I think it's because I spread my races out over the whole day, since I'm retired. When I do do back-to-back races, then I do indeed see a lot of the same people (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on the racers).
That's not 100% true for me, but close. I'll say the top 5 or 6. But the no one bothering me is absolutely true, but the downside is that it's boring when that happens. But I could use some boring right about now.I think I am like @GrumpyOldMan. We can only drive and do well if we start on pole and no one bothers us.
Then stop looking at your DR and try to just have fun. (Yes, I realize the irony of my mentioning this since I wrote an app to track DR.)
I hate when that happens! Seriously, it seems to happen to me way too often.
My hat's off to you - no such luck for me. Part of it is I take it personally when people pass me, and although I don't retaliate, I try way too hard to pass them back, and I only end up crashing and burning. Must... let... them... go! Adrenaline has ruined too many of my races.
I think every one of us (myself included) should watch the replay from our races before we comment negatively about other drivers. I'm positive that the vast majority of the time, I did something to initiate the contact, and in a lot of case, the entire incident was my fault for feeling entitled to my racing line, even when the other driver beat me to the corner.
Ever wonder if following it so closely has led to it feeling like 'it sucks'?
DR is always going to fluctuate if you race because you love the racing.
It's funny you guys should mention this right now, because I decided to take the advice I gave to someone a few posts up, and race to enjoy the race. And I really did enjoy the 4 races since then.

The last one had two of us going side-by-side through the final 4-turn corner (or whatever it is), and even though I got beat, it was respectful and awesome.
And yes, I sucked in 2 of them, but both suckages happened because I hit the sausage on the chicane.
I decided to change my mindset to "This is a game, and games always have challenging levels or bosses. I usually die a bunch of times until I beat the level/boss, but I learn a lot in the process. So what can I learn here?"
And I learned a lot, not that I've "beaten" the level yet, but it's been really fun because my goals shifted.
With that said, I guess now is the time to see how wild a roller-coaster chart I can end up with. The bump from yesterday would make me lose my lunch!
