Crazy bug happened to me today. Basically the half formation lap that the IA does, just bugged. First 8 cars did it normally, but everyone else just stopped. The race started and well, we were half a lap behind the first pack.

This happened to me recently at LM's Race B a few weeks back. Half the grid was quite ahead & the other half couldn't move because they couldn't move. So about 500 metres worth of gap between.

Jumped on for a quick Race B, cruising around in 3rd then spun on a kerb with an AWD car...... that takes some doing man. LAST.

The G70 is a fantastic car just because of the AWD powertrain handling. I didn't spin out on any kerb but bounced a lot a couple of times at the last bend of the CoD. Got my head scratching but then it's understood we need to know how we're taking the kerbs there & not just avoiding the barriers.
 
Wooooow, yikes, I am doing a no tire change race C and ended up behind P3 going into T1 around lap 8. A little too much draft and too little tire left and I slid right up into his door like a dummy, he only got knocked wide, very wide, thank goodness, I didn't know it then of course but P2 soon had some controller issue and ate wall like it was candy and P1 had not hit the pits yet. So happy I did not ruin his well deserved win and I came in for second.
Got my QT down before my next race and started P2. The start of Daytona scares the crap out of me as I can't easily spot a good braking marker, but I've still got it done all night and really stayed behind P1 which just kept my rear safe for the lap. Into the pits immediately with some one right with me. We come out in 14 and 15, wih him bump drafting me. Pit stops on the end of lap 5 had us right back up to 3rd and 4th, then 1st and second on lap 6. P2 had a wiggle and swapped with 3rd, who was good at timing the bus stop on the last lap. Felt like a sitting duck but I just did my thing and held on real low as he almost nipped me at the line with a difference of 0.098. A very nice win among drivers who were at the front in all my races tonight, and who knows when the next one will come. Good luck on Nations cup tomorrow!
 
Played a few Race B's some time back. Somehow felt in the groove with the Mazda3 & could even lower my qualy time to 1:48:754. Out of the 5 or 6 races I played, 75% of them I finished in the top 5 which I felt awesome about. It's just that I was no being untidy through CoD.

Amazing track + car combo...have said this so many times but can't help but appreciate. Will play some more later in the day but have already clocked 200kms in my races & qualy trials that come in between.
 
Hey guys, I almost forgot. She's ready and shared. Final version will come by the end of the weekend.

What a contrast in Race B races today!!!!!!!!!!

When I played a few races in noon, I enjoyed the tight & clean battles. It was where I finished in top 5 most of the times.

Come evening, came across a bunch of users who feel they own every turn & won't let their their skill dictate their racing but ego. Literally, every race I saw if two cars were side by side through a turn or approaching a turn, neither would want to yield. Instead, they'll try to shove each off to prove their might. And all this for random positions....

So many a times I let a user pass me if he's clearly faster than me. Even when side by side with another user through a turn, I will back off a little if I'm behind the other car. I won't try to muscle my way still. Also when fighting unnecessarily with a car by having contact or missing the turns due to late braking, the cars behind will catch up or even pass through.
 
I guess @TechnoIsLove we just leave it here?

The racing is fine mostly but the odd lobby gets a little sweaty but it’s half term.

It is what it is although man those that “brake” before the COD do cause a lot of confusion, just lift if you need to people!
 
I've been having an absolute laugh with Daily A.

Yesterday a player decided they didn't like me bump-drafting them on the straights, so break-checked me on the long straight, and then braked and decided to side-swipe me crossing the finish line. That debacle somehow gifted me a 3 second penalty despite my complete lack of steering input. Half a lap later and due to me having damage, they caught up with me and decided to try to punt me on the soft right after the hairpin, but instead glanced my back end and went off, somehow gifting me another 2 second penalty. I still finished 5 seconds ahead of the tool.

Today, coming up to the last hairpin on lap one, I'm mid-pack with a gaggle ahead of me. As we all brake, some twonk flies in no brakes and pinballs the lot of us. I come out with four corners of damage AND a 5 second penalty.

Yesterday's crapshoot dropped me to SR A, but today I got it back to S, and thankfully it hasn't dropped back down despite the illogical penalties.
