What has actually surprised me quite a lot is not the race format but for a daily they are willing to give up the 2 race lobbies per hour.
That comes with some huge downsides for them if someone misses the on the hour start time then it's a really really long wait to race. Bold move.
Out of curiosity, what is the upside or downside for PD when they set up the dailies? They aren’t gaining or losing money. Do the numbers affect their revenue somehow? Honest question, not a sarcastic rhetorical question.
It seems like they ought to experiment more, not less, if they want to get more people involved. But I’ll confess I don’t really know what motivates their choices for the daily races. I’m under the impression that they want to attract more casual players, but I’m not sure how changing things up will change how many casuals try them out. And I certainly don’t see how mixing things up will lose regulars, unless they bungle it badly.
All they have to do is listen to what we want and add one or two things a week to vary it up. Race C should always have higher tire and fuel rates and more tire compound choices. That’s all it would take to make strategies real, and I don’t see how that would “scare off” casual racers who are just dabbling anyway. It’s exasperating!!!
Makes my head spin just thinking about it.
Your comment was about the 20 laps on Race C. I was on lap 18 last night and I suddenly remembered how you always say you lack the attention span to do any Race C, and as I was thinking about it I suddenly lost my attention span while doing Race C!!!! I blacked out at the spoon and luckily was saved by muscle memory and woke up enough to finish! I took P3 in fact after P1 ran out of gas!
The 45 minute race is a nice change but unfortunately for me Group 3 Suzuka just isn't that interestingfor racing
I totally agree. It’s a horrible track for overtakes and good racing! I don’t know what an ideal track would be for a long race like this, but I’m imagining that 20 laps at Watkins Glen would be some amazing g racing!
Daily C this week is what most of us was asking for.
Lots of competitive cars (well done PD with that BOP!) and a race long enough to correct mistakes with possible comebacks.
Im not complaining (best combo so far) but imagine how good it should be this same combo with dynamic weather and 20 or 24 cars on track... (let me dream, please).
Sadly for me, Im having a very busy week and I just could made 2 races so far
Yesterday some alien descent to race the mere mortals and this was the final result.
Cooper pulled 35.8 seconds to the following pack
Must be boring to be that lonely at the front

That’s a weird lobby! A good share of A+ drivers, yet the top 10 improved their DR?! Someone really really good must have DNFed.
Love to know how I saved this slide, especially as I’m on that stupid astroturf stuff like is like glass.
Dude, I had a similar slide but on the inside of the turn! I got some serious oversteer on old tires as I braked into T1 and slid sideways through the grass and back onto the track for the esses! I had dirty tires but was still able to hold off the guy behind me who took the turn the old fashioned way.
After a few Races C this week, I’m having good fun. But boy is it sweaty! I’d absolutely love it if they made all tire compounds available for us, with a higher tire wear rate. It would open up the possible strategies and make this a truly strategic race!
, long race - you can wait for mistake by setting longer on rear spoiler of opponent and keep a good pace / tire savings tactics for last laps and many players are not so aggressive as it is still a long race. I would put even more on tires degradation. At least under lobby A - all races done so far was super nice for me. Reb Bull Ring if 40m should be also super nice
