Oh lord . I lost 40 SR points today just by being tossed around in race C.:indiff:
I then tried to build up some points again in race A and B, but only managed to stay where I was, from 99 (stuck there for weeks) to 64 in a day, what a mess.:ouch:

I can't wait for the new daily races hoping they will be more forgiving.:bowdown:

When I was down on SR, this week's race C is what saved me. First one running all the way, from the back and only making position of race quitting players ahead. Then one more, parked in the pits because I fell asleep behind the wheel. And I was back to SR S.

I tried 2 cars there, this morning. Mustang and Viper. For me, the Dodge seemed to have better handling. Not sure about tire wear.

Good to know, Thanks. I only tried the Lambo quickly but tire wear didn’t seem to be much of an issue. The Lancer was really good around here last time if I remember correctly, I’m not 100% sure on that though. :)

Lancer and WRX are always dependable Gr.4 cars with good handling, but not a lot of speed. They do wear tires, but with AWD, you'll still have good forward bite in the last few laps, when the 2WD cars struggle on corner exit with worn tires. RWD cars will still be the fastest, I think.

I haven't tested it, but I'm assuming the FWD cars will get murdered late in the race.

@Granadier last time we had a C race at Interlagos, I saw pit stoppers win a couple times. You get to skip 3 turns when you pit, there. 👍

Next weeks Race C will be a no stopper, even the Lambo will be able to do it. :)

Yeah, I guessed that would be the case. Fuel at x3 is a low consumption rate and x11 tyre wear doesn't warrant stopping on Hards at 11 laps. Interlagos has a pretty long pit exit so you'd lose a lot of time pitting. Cars renown for burning through their tyres quick like the Italia should be fine as well.

It would've been nice to see more strategic races again. Oh well.

So yeah, as I predicted, Huracan one-make. :lol:
 
I can't wait to get that Supra GT4. Hopefully, it's got the speed of the Vantage and handling of the 86. For now, I'm putting the Atenza aside and using Toyota/Lexus cars.

The 86 was exceptional against the Slophys in the FIA Brands Hatch race. Should do good at Interlagos. I'll be using the RC F as well. Interlagos is a bit of a bowl circuit like Brands Hatch. Might just claw back some time lost versus the awd cars.

Definately race B, I like fast cars and have been able to find some consistency here this week, which is what you need for this combo. Also it being winter Ive had the time to actually get it done!
Click to expand...

I was rooting for you this morning, anxiously looking at the rankings during the race hoping you would stay at the top. Great consistency!

But what's this talk about winter. Full sun today, 19c. I just got back from cycling with my kids. The only sign of winter today, got to go miles to a Mc Donalds because all the ice cream shops are closed for the season. The quest for ice cream lol, after 3 closed places, mcFlurry it is :/

I haven't been able to get under 1:29.777, the game keeps resetting tcs back to 3 as well. I gave up switching it before the race, I'll just go with tcs 3 bleh. At least it's not starting me on heavy wet tires in a dry race anymore :)

That last race, I think I saved the replay. I should check how that serial dive bomber got away without any penalties and a blue rating. He knew full well what he was doing. He dive bombed me in the last turn first, then let me pass on the straight, to dive bomb me again in the chicane, to then slam on full brakes in the bus stop for no reason. I caught it in time, but got nailed by a car coming from behind (who he dive bombed earlier apparently) He obviously couldn't see us braking for nothing in the blind corners.

So, what's it going to be. NosOsH only to be seen in FIA races from now on, or now you know you can get to A+, no worries falling back to A? You just got to leave it untouched until 8pm EST when PD saves your stats for the day ;) The first time I reached DR.S it was gone before it got registered due to a faulty controller lol.

A+ party tonight!

So far I've tried 12 cars (Cayman, TT, F-Type, 458, Vantage, NSX, Megane, Evo, Atenza, GT-R, 650s & Huracan) with tyres on 10x instead of 11x (did it on custom races instead of lobbies because I was offline) and all cars do just fine, even the FR cars..

Here's my opinion on each subcategory I've tried

Front engined AWD (Evo & Atenza)
The Evo and the Atenza are quite similar, they're both very easy to drive and have by far the most grip, you can literally brake right up to the apex and still have enough grip to take the corner... BUT, they're slow on straights (both in acceleration and top speed)... That long main straight will be a massive issue if you decide to venture with any of them (I, unfortunately know that from experience)...
The Evo is better on its tyres, but the Atenza can hold its own..

The GT-R (GT-R)
Although its powertrain is similar to the Evo and Atenza's, the GT-R is a completely different beast, it doesn't struggle on the straights like the other FAWD, but it also doesn't have the same levels of insane grip the others have... And, it requires a somewhat bigger adjustment to tyre wear... Still manageable...

FF (TT & Megane)
They're both very fast cars on straights (the Megane being faster), they're both easy to drive once you get the hang of them, they're not the easiest to adjust to... Tyre wear is more noticeable on the Megane, and you'll need to be more careful in the very last laps, they can catch you out...

FR (Jaaaaag & Vantage)
I love the Jag... Which basically means I love the Vantage too... Very similar cars... Similar tyre wear, similar acceleration figures, similar laptimes in the beginning...
The Jag seems to behave better towards the end and I was overall more consistent with it...

MR (458, Cayman, 650s)
The 650s is trash, straight up trash... The slowest out of the 4 (including the huracan), the harshest on its tyres... I'm just so disappointed because I actually like the car... Why PD, why? It doesn't have any redeeming qualities, why is it so much worse than the others... Handling is fine, but it's not worth the struggle..
The Cayman doesn't like worn tyres too much, but it's still the same old reliable Cayman. I wouldn't go for it though..
The Ferrari, great sound, great straight line speed (just a shy slower than the huracan) and very manageable tyre wear... Very solid choice...

The NSX (NSX)
My god why have I ignored this car until now? It's a beautiful machine... Amazing handling, better tyre wear than any other cars I've tested (better at saving fuel too, which isn't very useful this week)... Blown away by this car, I'm keeping it and loving it forever.... Until PD nerfs it I mean....
Also, it's slower than the huracan and 458 on the straights, but it inspires so much confidence on the corners that you might be able to keep them behind/overtake them

The Huracan (Huracan)
Pick this one.

Edit: doesn't feel right to leave it like that
The Huracan (Huracan)
As you may have noticed, most of the time when there's a Gr.4 daily race B, it's mostly filled with huracans... That's because the only weakness that car has is its tyre wear situation... And since next week's race C tyre wear multipliers aren't that harsh (considering we'll be on hard tyres), the huracan will most likely dominate.... It's very fast on the straights and very capable on the twisty bits... That's literally all you need at Interlagos.. It's either going to be the huracan or the Megane..


I'm very torn about which car to pick... The NSX, the 458 and the Audi TT are all very good options for my style, but they each have their own downsides... I have to make my decision soon because I intend to make a livery for it before going to bed...

Wow! That's a heck of an analysis. 👍
I don't have to waste a bunch of time on testing, now. I'll take your word for it. Well, I still may test some of the cars that you didn't.
Thank you

Not had time for more lapping at DT. Hoping to get on again later. My best lap is set off a 30.4X first sector, so I know were the time is. Just need to crack it. I might even go back to the circuit experience!
Click to expand...

Banged out some laps over the last 40 mins. I've ended up changing BB twice during the lap trying to dial the car in. My average S1 is still 30.3. I did one 30.1 and was on for a 1:28.2 lap but did that thing in the death chicane where the car kinda digs in on the right turn and scrubs speed off which dropped me 0.15 and left me with 1:28.37. Gr.2 continues to be beyond the limits of my abilities. This track has kicked my arse this week. Next time it comes up I'm going to have to put the time in on that S1. Dropping over half a second in that one sector has killed me.

Much appreciation to those doing the yards on race C testing. I'm on 27,100 DR on my no qually mission just now. I really want to get that to 30,000 this week. Ironically Interlagos is another circuit where the first chicane has a massive influence on laptime.
 
Jeez, first I miss the race entry by seconds thanks to the daily workout, then my wifi extender crashes seconds after entering the lobby of the next race. -5 SR, -1500 DR. At least it was on my end this time, no such thing as reliable tech nowadays.

So 40 minute wait to start a race lol.

Although I appreciate your effort on this analysis, I'll have to respectfully disagree with the 650S part ;) I drive for McLaren in FIA and the Gr.4 car has consistently delivered, even getting me what is probably my greatest win in GT. It's never the best car for a given track, but I think that it's one of the more competitive cars in the class. Tire wear isn't much of an issue once you apply some tire saving techniques. Fuel is the car's biggest shortcoming for sure, but thankfully it doesn't matter here.

One thing lots of people don't know about this car is that it's supposed to be shifted when the rev bar is around half full, unlike its GT3 counterpart. If you've been revving it out, try short shifting. The difference should be noticeable. ;)
 
I'm off to @Mistah_MCA 150 mile BMB event, so I'll post my results of DT: Seaside before the race starts. Dinner time!
QjOwYUN.jpg

My clean race bingo for this week with a max clean streak of 6. I did get a 2nd place finish once, however I had to go outside track limits in that race to avoid someone, no crb. No 12th and up clean bonus since the only reason to finish 12 or higher is either from a penalty or a crash.

Fun week at DT: Seaside, increasing my total race count there to 598, only 8 wins there though, but average position gain for that track is up to 4.55 after this week. DR wise, it was going up at first, peaked at 32k, then downwards from getting taken out in races, disconnects and a rather disastrous FIA night on Saturday. Currently down to 23K.

Racing from the back in the morning, DR and SR go up. Pot luck in the afternoon. In the evening DR and SR go down.
 
Did good on Tokyo, not so bad in Tzukuba but bad on Dragontrails.
Even with the upshift trick on curves, I managed to get in the 11th place I think.

I don't for a second doubt that in the right hands, in the right circumstances, the car can deliver great results, but when comparing it with its direct rivals, the 650s is undoubtedly lacking...
My original comment was out of sheer disappointment (given how much potential the car has), but I still stand by it... It's a decent car, it's obviously not trash, but, as you said, it's not strong in any track... There are always at least 3 or cars that are straight up better than it...

I just wish PD would do a better job of balancing the class...

Anyway, thanks for the short shifting tip, I wasn't aware it was necessary on the Mclaren...
 
I’m definitely gonna do some Interlagos.
I have a new look for my AMG, totally rad.
In other news I spent several hours today torturing myself trying to get through sector 1 Seaside worth a damn...
The strain of what I was trying to accomplish was consuming me. I ended up not realizing my dream of taking the Lexus close to 27 broke below the 28.5 range though, and it wasn’t easy! first time ever I loaded up a ghost, and what I learned was I need to go faster. Hahaha. Lines fine, gotta enter faster and carry more speed through...Get off the brake and get on the loud pedal Yano?
So I ran a lot of laps, my wheels all bloody, my chairs a sweat sponge, foots cramped, eyes only seem to focus at the distance to the tv, hands are shot, just kept going after the blisters popped, wrists are toast, and I am all out of nacho fixings. (it’s not that bad really lol)
My brain is fried. Ready for Monday hahaha. My AMG is PIMP YO.

EDIT

My them for this week is ‘tuxedo t shirt.’ There will be no qual on the alt. Damn the torpedoes! Let’s party!

TCS2 > TCS1 progress: Getting more consistant around DTS, three races today with a blue SR on the results board. Given results yesterday and Saturday I was beginning to think I might end up with SR going down so far I'd get a DR reset, however weekday racing and some practice have turned the tide. Recovered 13 SR points today, 66 > 79. I've come to the conclusion that DR points are meaningless in the sort of punt and turn racing that I've seen most of the week unless I'm prepared to compromise my principles and start kicking that ball for goal along with all the rest.

Lap times have not improved yet, but the necessity for more precise throttle control is resulting in more versatility in choosing a line and more resilience/better recovery when traffic forces an unconventional line. Yay!!! :cheers:

You weren’t kidding. Just finished some test laps in the Ferrari and the pit delta looks to be 1-2s tops because of how fast you can enter as well. And pushing the last ~4 laps I was seeing pretty consistent 0.5-1s increase in lap times as the tires fell off.

Hoping that a 1-stop strategy around lap 6 is competitive in the actual races.
 
@Sven Jurgens
By winter I mean, raining buckets for the last two weeks. The sun dipping down below the horizon at what.. like 630pm now?
Definately no more after work pitch-n-putt rounds on the way home.
Only have time for those on a saturday now it the wife lets me out haha. Thats the reason i didnt have the energy to race with you guys last night. I did a couple, went and had a quick smoke... And then literally went a dozed off for 2 hours.
Woke up at 430 this morning, watched Igor win race 2 at Monza and then started grinding for the last 5k dr I needed.
Once I hit my goal I definately called it quits. But NO Im not gonna take my account into hidng and only come out of seclusion for FIA events.
I barely do them anyways. I thought about the same thing for about 2 seconds when I reached A ages ago, and quickly realised it doesnt matter. You quickly reach your equilibrium regardless of what arbitrary level you hit.
I may start another account just to warm up at the starts of the week though, feel out any events im unsure of. Or race in events I enjoy but know are wastes of sr.
 
Jumped on today for a few race Bs in an attempt to repair the DR damage that was done by my last two sport races - the abandoned race Friday and the FIA mess on Saturday... and did ok!

Four starts, four podiums, two 2nd and two wins. Actually gained the most DR for the 2nd place in my first race, which had a guy in from the FIA disaster I was in. He got reported in that, I watched it back and didn't think he was THAT bad, but by god he was bad this race! Amassed 12s of penalties on the first lap! Lightning quick (he did a 28.2 in clean air in the race), but he dive bombed the Turk who was pole in T1, deliberately drove into him again later in the lap and took his frustrations out on others too. At least him dropping to SR B after the race meant I didn't see him again!

The same Turk was on pole for all four races, the second race was a procession albeit quite a quick one. Started and finished 2nd, the next two races, the Turk on pole obviously decided he wanted more of a challenge and switched to the '16 GTR - which he clearly didn't like much because he crashed it at the right hander at the end of sector 1! I inherit the lead (thanks very much!) and stay there. Building up a 3s lead before taking the last lap nice and easy.

Final race, same top three on the grid as the previous two, got very close to going into the back of the leader braking down the hill after the Esses (may have been very slight contact which got rid of my 4th consecutive CRB), then he made a little mistake through the chicane and I did him with a classic outside/cut back inside move into the final turn. It was almost the end of the action but at the same time, nowhere near! At the end of the straight he and 3rd had a coming together, both lost control and the Turk slid straight past my rear end as I went through T1! Almost taking my rear axle into the wall with him. Drama over, 2nd and 3rd in the barrier, built up a nice 3.5s lead before again taking the final lap easy.

So my abandonment and FIA race took me from about 46.5K down to 43K, and these four have got me back up to 45.4K. Maybe can push on this week, Suzuka and Interlagos are two tracks I love so no reason not to do well there.

Will say, I think my big session time trialling yesterday paid off despite not knocking off the time I would have liked. All race laps at DT were consistent low 29s (still refused to go through the chicane flat out in the race though!). And I never left the track

So far I've tried 12 cars (Cayman, TT, F-Type, 458, Vantage, NSX, Megane, Evo, Atenza, GT-R, 650s & Huracan) with tyres on 10x instead of 11x (did it on custom races instead of lobbies because I was offline) and all cars do just fine, even the FR cars..

Also, it's slower than the huracan and 458 on the straights, but it inspires so much confidence on the corners that you might be able to keep them behind/overtake them

The Huracan (Huracan)
Pick this one.

Edit: doesn't feel right to leave it like that
The Huracan (Huracan)
As you may have noticed, most of the time when there's a Gr.4 daily race B, it's mostly filled with huracans... That's because the only weakness that car has is its tyre wear situation... And since next week's race C tyre wear multipliers aren't that harsh (considering we'll be on hard tyres), the huracan will most likely dominate.... It's very fast on the straights and very capable on the twisty bits... That's literally all you need at Interlagos.. It's either going to be the huracan or the Megane..


I'm very torn about which car to pick... The NSX, the 458 and the Audi TT are all very good options for my style, but they each have their own downsides... I have to make my decision soon because I intend to make a livery for it before going to bed...

Great job :bowdown:
thanks for that analysis - strangely enough one of my go to Gr4's is the Megane so i would have tried QF in that no doubt. Veyron? ;)
