Hey guys, I see not so many on my friend's list leaderbord at Willow, just Glen, bone_tone and me... Hope to see a larger company by the end of the week.

I’ve seen this for the last few weeks tbh, I thought because I don’t do race C

Come on guys! Let’s get racing 😂
Everyone enjoyed the Superbirds so much last week they're playing real Nascar now :lol:
 
Oh well. Night and Day compared to Monday. 6 races, killed at t1 in 4 of them. The other 2 were great fun. Had close clean battles and it was good. The 4 💩 shows were exactly that. Run off in T1 if I wasn't actually crashed off. People just ramming off and side barging you off. The claiming you're dirty if they wreck after slamming you on to the grass. Gee, wonder why they have a lot of SR B?

This is what happens when PD rarely ever have ratings on in Daily A. It trains people to treat it like a joke. Props to Chu1 and @Stephan for the fun races. Everyone else I saw out there with 1 exception: please stop playing GT. Join in at wreckfest.

Yeah you did a good job of keeping me in check during that second race because that first race was just filthy to race on so much that it got me agitated.

Just had one of these myself, someone decided to Leroy Jenkins the field into T1, pole sitter somehow survived and finished 14secs clear!

I started p2, dropped to p8 and clawed it back to p2, must have been just this one guy because the rest of them raced perfectly clean.

Happens I suppose

Today drove quite a few Race B's. I'm astonished as how many a times there were dirty drivers. What's more surprising is that their rating is good like DR B & SR S or A and they resort to just hitting about any car in random.

And then they don't like it when You call them out in the chat after the race. They even report it LOL.

I'm sticking to my dear Audi TT Cup '16 car as the heavy front gives me confidence to negotiate some tricky corners in LM.
 
Due time issues only doing race B until now

Got smashed...smashed so hard...on almost every race...
Doing 07.084....its giving a good pit...but...the guy behind you will make it worthless
 
I have to say I think I’m done with B already, is there no track limits anymore on this track? Turns 3 and 4 literally is ridiculously lacking in any kind of track limits.

A is good and everything and the cars are a challenge to drive whilst sounding great at the same time but T1 is a lottery.

Going to be a long wait until Monday 🤨

I’ve done 3 races tonight and I’ll admit I’m not dialled in so cautious and not at the rapid pace, life comes first and there is a whole lot of life happening, but I’m on the pace ish

These 3 races have been horror shows not because I don’t win them just that the whole standard of racing has fallen so low I’d call it an anchor.

What’s interesting is these races are populated with “new players” this is normal and 6000 races in being bounced between all the levels the amount of new players but the race entering counts are roughly the same…

I know I haven’t done my 1 or 2 hour stints in to each lap time but my god the standards are so poor on decision making, I’m gonna cut my losses, I might actually move to another racing game as much as it kills me. Even at B level I hold myself and others to account that they get what racing is, it’s not winning that’s the aim, but how you win.

I’ve said it before things need to change, if they don’t then here we are making the same complaints to no one…

I get your frustration, and a better week will make all the difference im sure, I’ve too thought of trying a different game out, now there’s a few coming out shortly but I doubt that will match what we have here unless something like iracing but I’m not about to go back to pc racing.

The poor lobbies really do leave a bitter taste in the mouth, but a different time on can make all the difference,

We just need just a little more choice, 3 races and a TT a week I concede is not enough, being at a certain standard means we don’t need all week at one track - they need to fix this.

Here’s to better times mate 🍻
 
From my experience u are lucky...😁
Just can't imagine how fun & clean the past few week's Race B & C's were. Race B it seems as if users are taking out their real life feuds on cars in the race.

Race A is fun but a few laps or 2 races of Race A are needed to set the rhythm for that race. I like LM but it becomes fun or not depending on the users You're racing with.

I've barely played Race C because I'm not good at Willow Springs & at that race where overtaking opportunities are less. You can mostly get by on speed which I won't have. So I basically play Race A & B and before every race, I cross my fingers for clean & sane racers.
 
Getting a little annoyed with myself in race b now. I simply cannot string together a decent qt and start bottom 4 every race. I am doing race laps waybtoo close to my qt time and I am really hustling the guys around me as I am quite a bit faster in the race.

A few more bumps tonight but overall some outstanding lower pack racing. Lots of side by side and guys at least trying not to hit each other for the most part.

We need to put our expectations in Spec III. Il can't believe that a change in penalties from contacts isn't in the menu. I.e. Tuesday I was punted 3 times in my rear quarter with not that much speed delta, but in Willow is more than enough to send you visit the desert"s beautiful flora. This needs to be handled by the penalty system, especially if is blatantly intentional. I still met people able (or at least willing) to race side by side with respect and honour. So, PD (hopefully) needs to address those drivers having statistically way more "contacts" than average to put them in so called "shadows ban lobbies" or sort of.

Since going sport mode again i complained a lot about dirty drivers (and a bit about the fast pace nowadays :D ).

Yesterday i had my most fun race in race B starting 1st and finishing 7th. Yeah you read that right! Finally had a good qualy lap and was constantly tested from behind. The pack was very close and i moved back and forth (obviously more back in the end). And every of the many, many moves was clean (with some little touches, as expected in low B lobbies). I was smiling while i was handed back to even 8th at times.

INTERESTING was the chat after the race: I was thanking them for the clean race as one other driver was. BUT many others where swearing at each other for dirty driving. So you see, people often don't realize that other moves sometimes just go wrong at that skill level. A little too much testosterone makes you see moves as aggressive behavior that aren't. And so the doom loop starts. People where both whished for fair races in the pre race lobby go at each other in the post race lobby.

Big Willow was great fun last time around, but gimme these Testarossas at Autopolis all week aside from Nations cup. Top favorite car for this child of the 80s and we can ignore all it faults with its always pristine digitall form. Setting good QTs on this account but racing ona lesser one on my alt account. I'm trying to avoid the carnage of the starts and it actually has ended up paying off quite well and is a blast the whole time too. Last night I got two 7th places, a 6th, two 5ths, and a 4th. Had my DR squeak up on one of the 7th places but overall it went down some 170 points. Don't know how that worked exactly but oh well. Good QT there is down to 1:19.288 with more on the table.
Hope Daytona comes back around again, Ive loved it both times. quickly got a .305, then fought all week to lower that to the previous .301 from this combos debut. Set the steering sensitivity to -2 for my G29, and backed off the force feedback and torque to about 2 on both for more sensitive inputs. This got me a .265 in the end and 253rd globally. Had enough rerally exciting races hanging on til the end with two P2s one .014, and the other .015 behind the winner.
 
It's been a while since I last did Daily Race C but because it's Willow, I had to give it a go and I was so dialled in with the BRZ's handling on the track as it was designed for my driving style.

And due to my Daily Race A excursions, I'm 2 races away from reaching 1000 Sport Mode race starts. Just something I noticed that's all.

Holy ponytail Batman that Gr.3 Mustang is slow. I've driven it for some time now as I really would like to make it competitive in daily races. After some 5-6 races and quite few quali laps I jumped in to the BRZ to see how much faster it actually is around the Willow. .3 sec or maybe even .5 seconds? Well after just 3 quali laps I had shaved 1.4 seconds (?!?) off my time. 😬
 
Tiered quite honestly of the utter lack of racing quality provided by some players in these daily B gr4 events, I decided to improve my time a little seeing as my DR is B after the last 3 weeks of downward trajectory (maybe I’m the problem???)

This is good enough for about 350 which I really hope moves me away from the savages.

If it doesn’t I don’t think I have the desire to catch up to Chris or Dream on this one

Lil of topic and almost forgot to say (actually I did, but checking my gallery just brought it back to my mind) that since the Citroën went meta, serving me well in both Kyoto and Glen short being also quite a beautiful car, it deserves a "Gurzu style" livery. It's still in working progress. Here's a preview.
A "Martini" version is in line too, but that will take lil longer.

Well I'd hoped to be back online by now.... but no. New provider is having problems as well, so sending out a 4g mini hub - which they say will be here on Saturday - big lolz.
Giving serious thought to Starlink, even though it's more expensive, there's less chance of a bloody fishing boat colliding with a satellite. But I guess there's always a very slim chance that could happen.
