My issue with daily races is that my DR is higher than my qualifying pace would suggest.
Since I pretty much only do FIA races I am able to get good results in higher lobbies because I practice with tire wear mostly. I imaging a lot of people in the B/low A lobbies don't practice that much and if they do they just do the free practice. As many of us know, once you turn on tire wear your car and pace change a lot.
That said, In daily races I always end up at the bottom of the grid because my pace is not as good as my DR. So I just avoid them all together. Unless PD changes the matchmaking from matching you with people similar DR/SR and instead matches you with people with similar qualifying times I'll just lose 1000 DR every race. All that on top of the fact that even if I manage to pass a few people from the bottom of the grid, one of them is going to just knock me off track because they'd rather finish 13th instead of 14th. Since my focus with this game is on FIA events I cannot sacrifice my DR to do the daily races.
I've never been a fan of the DR/SR matchmaking for the daily races. Every daily race I've ever been in has always had the top 2 or 3 drivers with a qualifying 3 seconds faster than everyone else. Unless i get a qualifying time near the top hundred I won't even bother anymore. the omly reason I raced last night was because there is such a lull between FIA seasons.
