I understand that. I still do daily races. Not quite as much, since I found a golf game on PS5 that is pretty fun.But for all intents and purposes the Dailies have just been so uninspiring and unrewarding there is no motivation to come back to them.
What game?since I found a golf game on PS5 that is pretty fun.
PGA Tour: Road to the Masters.What game?
Now I’ve dialled in I’ll go back tomorrow and take a chunk off my time, I should have known T1 is a 4th gear corner!
Totally agree. With the pad I couldn't even take turn 1 in 3rd gear... whilst I'm taking it in 4th easy peasy now (I use 3rd just as engine brake when needed at t1 and after Bus stop). I think we're among the small minority liking race A. Less than half car behind for now, @TheNormsk, with an ideal of '20.1 wich I'll try to confirm tonyt. And yes; really wondering why DR is off, since PD was on a good pattern lately. Seems that the useless supervisor of Dailies department is back from holidays.Oh boy is this a fun car to drive. I love it handling. Also I’m somewhat better on wheel than controller![]()
I have a theory on this…And yes; really wondering why DR is off, since PD was on a good pattern lately. Seems that the useless supervisor of Dailies department is back from holidays.
Disappointing if true. Both from the developer's and the player's point of view.I have a theory on this…
1: it’s probably not going to be massively popular so this is to draw people in risk free (plus the combo can be very tricky)
2: the other 2 races will be either close (contact racing, Nurbs) or full of track limit pens so will hit SR hard potentially, making race A attractive to farm SR again may increase player numbers.
Just my thinking on it.
Pure Speculation on my part.Disappointing if true. Both from the developer's and the player's point of view.
Talk about doing things for the wrong reasons.
I find myself uncomfortable also! Thanks for the tip on the GT-R, I'll try that, as the G70, is a little weird on the track for me! Or it's me, I was having a go at the WRX, felt fine in the corners. 7.8 though more time to findBoy it was rough and tumble stuff at NGP last night, guys are very impatient, was turned around in 2 of 3 races but managed a podium in the other. Got both the G70 and GTR down to 207.6 but the GTR feels much nicer to drive so will stick with that. I need to find another half second I reakon, that is doable if I nail it. I am not at all comfortable though, struggling to tuck my nose in and maintain mid corner speed.

It's a very different track on a wheel vs a D-Pad, when i say D-Pad i mean using the directional buttons. Biggest difference is I can now use MT which really helps at turn 6 where the AT refuses to change down and i'd get eaten alive there. Turn 7 though, I was a demon through there and now all at sea, I cannot decide if i should go narrow or wide, brake earlier or a touch later to square it up, lost all my reference points there. The track limits at Turn 4 need to be tightened, bit of a farce right now and I am very fast through the final chicane compared to my peers. TBH a bit lost though, 2nd guessing myself under brakes rather than attacking the corners.
I'm no Prime to guide, but for T7 my tip is to trail break as late and as deep as hell (with late reduction from gear 3 downto 2). This is where you really can gain especially defending position but also for good lap time.Boy it was rough and tumble stuff at NGP last night, guys are very impatient, was turned around in 2 of 3 races but managed a podium in the other.

When I have this most of the time it’s because I’m trail braking to much/comfort braking rather than out of necessity.I am not at all comfortable though, struggling to tuck my nose in and maintain mid corner speed.
yeah i used to use bumper cam before i switched to a VR recently, but for the most part i had a good idea of where my bumper was, mainly bc if i got too close and was bump drafting, etc. then i could only see the car i was drafting. So its for sure them bumping intentionally, bc if you use bumper cam, youll see that theres no problem knowing where the front of your car is.When I have this most of the time it’s because I’m trail braking to much/comfort braking rather than out of necessity.
What I have started to do is timing when I’m lifting to my rotation or alternatively on the wheel turning it sharper a little more with a sharp release in pedal pressure. (When I say sharp release I mean lifting from 90% to 30%
If I need to I can always coast or gently brake some more but a lot of the time I find is more getting the exit line and acceleration point nailed rather than good/perfect entries. Especially with the way the G70 diffs work.
Other than above it’s just practising the braking phases and to match the force applied to the actual momentum before turning in.
Edit:
@TechnoIsLove B was a bit sweaty and pushy but not full on death.
The problem as always is impatience or lack of restraint. The reality is in lobbies split by 1 100ths everybody is the same pace and in B/A lobbies pretty damn consistent in the G70 as well. This means the normal gaps just aren’t there to go for….so a lot of forcing the issue or “cynical” moves and space.
As a side note, I’ve had 2 people in A/S lobbies constantly bumping in to the back of me and both were bumper cam users, there is a YT that was constantly the same on his stream. Is it possible people aren’t good at judging their cars front bumper in this cam?
It’s about the angle, when you watch the replays watch that corner in cockpit cam and you’ll get a sense of where the car needs to be, it’s a bit random though. I think it depends when you go marginally wide and when you come off the sausage curb.Just don't understand how I'm losing so much time on race C. I'm on a 1:31.2 with the Lancer. Everyone seems to take the first corner really wide with their ghosts and yet never seemed to get penalties, me on the other hand. Sigh.
OK found my mojo. Just ran a 2.06.7 with an optimal 2 tenths faster as I did not quite nail the entry to the final chicane.
Hundred percent genuine answer.@newmedia_dev For once a serious question from my end! 🤣
Since you switched to VR, did you find that having the steering wheel on the wrong side of the dash a bit off-putting? Don't get me wrong, I have spent 6+ years in the US of A and drove/ owned quite a few nice cars but since circuits have no lane, the few times I tried cockpit view, having the wheel on the left screwed with my driving...
Honestly, that is prob the #1 reason why I have not actually invested in VR - tried it a few times at a friend's house, but long term, I was put off... 100% know it is more immersive but the left-hand drive thing on a circuit is weird for me...
I can't drive from the left side of my couch, have to be centered, lol. Can't imagine it NOT messing with your head in VR. For me, screws up just about every marker I look for and there's not a single good reason for it given I'm driving on a flat screen. 100% mental but 100% NOT getting over it, either.🤣@newmedia_dev For once a serious question from my end! 🤣

I don't even notice which side of the car I'm on, it just comes naturally to adapt without thinking about it.I can't drive from the left side of my couch, have to be centered, lol.
