I mean none of them look particularly appealing. Fuji is the worst racing tarmac on the planet, Yas is built specifically for F1 and races like garbage in anything else, and Daily A is Daily A![]()
Use CSA strong 😉Managed to hit a time 199 in the world at trial mountain, 1.07.6xx, bucket loads of time there still if I can cope with the vibrations 😁 will keep going here there’s a peach of a lap somewhere in there!
I just hate driving Fuji lol I think it's a badly designed track that races very poorly.Worst tarmac? Do you mean the actual track surface?
The opposite of championship track limits must be ‘Nascar on road course’ track limits! If you’ve ever seen them take T1 at Watkins Glen you’ll know what I mean!
I like Fuji, it’s a track that is flowing and precise, that for me makes it very fun because it’s the exits that matter not the late braking.I just hate driving Fuji lol I think it's a badly designed track that races very poorly.
I know exactly what you mean about the Cup track limits at every RC they go to. It's so funny that they can enforce limits at Daytona, Atlanta, and Talladega but have no idea how to enforce limits anywhere else.
It's not just RC for Cup it's any track with a wide apron that cars can run on. Look at Phoenix, Kansas, Vegas, and others of the same design. Every lap you'll see dozens of drivers below the white lines.
Tracks need limits and I prefer them to be enforced by either barriers or surfaces that absolutely cannot be run on. I also understand safety is a thing and so oceans of tarmac get used instead. I'm just saying you don't have limits issues if there's no track outside the limits to drive on![]()
The worst thing about online racing is when you brake early, to give respect to the car in front of you, while the car behind you can't grasp the concept.

Race B is an absolute **** show, just utter chaos as @brockie pointed out. Nice to see you at lunchtime even though you had a rough time 🙉
I will upload a video from this morning, it was just a disgrace
Anyway, i decided to give that damn porsche another go in VR to see could i get to grips with it. First i decided to do the Yas circuit experience as i have no experience of racing there at all. Managed gold on my very first attempt with the 296 so went straight in to do some laps chasing Tidgney's ghost. To say the track limits are harsh is an understatement, they are brutal.
As you can tell, i was getting a bit frustrated 🤣🤣🤣
There is definitely a high 53 in me, i just need to have a break. I am actually beginning to enjoy driving the 911 GT3, it is incredibly stable on corner exit, you can really get the power down so much better than the RSR. I am not brave enough to try a race with it yet though 🤣🤣
Or you are having a decent battle with a guy, taking time to pass him clean so it feels like, you know, actual racing, then schmukko sidles up from 4 seconds back, only catch you both because you're both taking non-ideal lines in your little duel, and just barges his way past you both.The worst thing about online racing is when you brake early, to give respect to the car in front of you, while the car behind you can't grasp the concept.
Is it me or is race A one of the easiest DRs in a while? I just won 3 of these in a row. Granted my Q time was very good but nothing too different than what the licenses (gold) have taught us about Trial Mountain.Well Race A isn’t too bad, think I’ll spend the week there, can’t say it’s going to keep me all week, but for sure B I won’t be doing again!
Use CSA strong 😉
Also 4th is the secret sauce and build from that
Last week was already a very nice update, but now it's even more logical with the images / headers on top of the texts. It feels like it is more text now than before (more than 1 week before)? But I like digesting the info.Again, I've made some tweaks to the layout this week, so please let me know how it feels for you
I think I'll move the boilerplate/overview image back to the end because it feels too crowded with not-prose at the top but... feh.
Yeah, I race from the back and it seems like a lot of online drivers are having difficulty with the slow weight shifting of a road car. So you just have to get them off of the racing line and you'll see some weird turn ins and weight juggling when they try to survive the corner.Is it me or is race A one of the easiest DRs in a while?

Who really race in A? It's a waste of spotIs it me or is race A one of the easiest DRs in a while? I just won 3 of these in a row. Granted my Q time was very good but nothing too different than what the licenses (gold) have taught us about Trial Mountain.
Absolutely loving Race C. With the new Porsche and tyre selection (& so far decent drivers 🙏🏻) it’s a blast 💥Pffffffffft - race B is making me think that this could be a week for making liveries.
Just like IRL, people laser focus on the rear bumper of the car in front of them, and not driving with respect to two-three cars in front.The worst thing about online racing is when you brake early, to give respect to the car in front of you, while the car behind you can't grasp the concept.

I don’t have time to do race C in the week but I’m definitely getting some on at the weekendAbsolutely loving Race C. With the new Porsche and tyre selection (& so far decent drivers 🙏🏻) it’s a blast 💥
To be honest this is one of the better uses of the slot, it teaches car control and braking in a lively torque laden car.Who really race in A? It's a waste of spot
Errrr ok, don’t think I’m gonna do B or C this week and well that’s just TM for me but it will be fleeting at best…roll on the new time trial!Pffffffffft - race B is making me think that this could be a week for making liveries.
I’m with you there, trial mountain is lots of fun, mistakes are happening for all throughout so lots of places are changing and touch wood it’s been really clean.To be honest this is one of the better uses of the slot, it teaches car control and braking in a lively torque laden car.
I’m racing in daily A as I like the practice with challenging cars and extracting the pace and getting better at car control? What are you racing?
Errrr ok, don’t think I’m gonna do B or C this week and well that’s just TM for me but it will be fleeting at best…roll on the new time trial!

Every car is meant to be raced some are harder than others.I race with race cars, cars made for this reason...
And he was missing the whole ethos of the game from day 1 of the original game that we of a certain age grew up with 🤣 Basically tuned road carsEvery car is meant to be raced some are harder than others.
Racing isn’t about cars meant to race it’s about you can race anything and adapt.
57 chevvys weren’t meant to be raced but they were, fiesta xr2s were road weapons, 205 gtis, scoobies
Im slightly confused by your point? I can race an ironing board of I need to. You are separating racing from the tools and frankly that’s the wrong way to look at racing.
Do what you can with what you have, that’s racing the rest is blaming everything else but not learning
Just to tell you that only prototypes are purposely made for racing. All the rest (or the vast majority, if you prefer) are everyday road cars modified for racing. 😉I race with race cars, cars made for this reason...
What annoyed me more is that i made the effort to give space and still get punted around. Granted, the Citroen was probably not the best car to use in the race but come on, that was just crazy. I am certainly not the fastest of people but give some space 🤣 Funnily enough, i do a lot of LMU and we are often around here and even as a gold rated trusted driver i still do the beginner LMGTE races around there and its never as bad. I know the track well and generally do well in those races in higher splits with very few incidents like this. Shame really because i really enjoyed Suzuka last week but this is reminding me why i stopped playing Gt7 for so long 👍That video is just total trash, I particularly love the way you get hurt by all the push passing so the mob decides you are a fish missing a fish and ripe to be eaten. All that contact should have been punished, the game allows way, way, way too much contact.
