This has to be the lightest tap of the history of taps.
Hi, I'm the brazilian that appears in your video. About the Turn 1 incident, personally I thought it was a clean move. I don't know what people may think of it so I will leave the video from my perspective down below. Normally I don't go for that kind of move because it is generally pointless (the driver on the outside usually has better traction exiting the corner and Turn 2 would favor them).
About the bump on that corner after the Schumacher S, I'm sorry but I just can't break at the 100m board. When I try to do that I end up missing the corner. For me it is faster to brake a bit before the 100m board then try to get the left side of the car on the green part of the inside kerb and then accelerate out of the corner earlier (altough it seems that avoiding the inside kerb can be faster).
And about the penalty system, I think this is the best state that I've seen of it, in a rather ironic way. Now any kind of contact can result in a SR Down for either driver, which can take quite some time to recover. Due to this, it seems that people now drive with a mentality of "avoid contact at all costs", which includes even minor contact that wouldn't disrupt a race. This means that players now avoid contact not because the system is fair, but because they don't want to get slapped with a BS penalty. I got one of these penalties in the video below, and it sucks when that happens, but I still think that this "fear of penalties" is better than a guilty driver getting away with a collision thanks to a relaxed penalty system.
aha! I had the door numbers backwardsHaha still going on about door numbers.
It's not that difficult, write out the numbers, for example
12615
4573
25600
63452
9872
402
Sort them left to right
12615
25600
402
4573
63452
9872
The one at the bottom gets door number 1, the one at the top door number 6.
The 'sort' only works when all numbers are the same length, which is 10,000 or more, DR.B or higher.
(Although technically a DR.C driver can have over 10,000 DR by still being in SR.C, but never mind that)
Beating your door number means nothing, not even when the 'sort' works. It all depends where the others finish.
Here's 3 races I tracked long ago to figure out whether DR inflates (it does) by adding in points at the bottom.
They are listed in finishing order, door number in front, DR before and after the race.
3 7191 -> 7961
9 11874 -> 12389
2 7326 -> 7774
10 10238 -> 10469
5 5530 -> 5696
1 8279 -> 8231
8 13352 -> 13043
7 13463 -> 12993
6 15089 -> 14428
4 6198 -> 5556

Total after 98,540

5 26664 -> 26425
8 1669 -> 1753
2 292 -> 241
7 17390 -> 16859
10 1 -> 1
Total before: 186,642
Total after: 187,005 +363 10 gives out points but can't lose them
5 19871 -> 20293
4 412 -> 1064
7 16766 -> 16933

10 1 -> 183
2 5312 -> 5230
1 967 -> 812
8 1298 -> 979
9 1 -> 1
6 1931 -> 1280
Total before: 51,809
Total after: 52,264 +455 9 gives out points but can't lose them
The formula to exchange points per player is 80 + (DR difference / 500).
In the last example number 9 gives out these amounts to each player in order
- 40 - 79 - 46 - 69 - 80 - 69 - 78 - 77 + 83 = -455 (but stays at 1 so more DR enters the total pool)
9 gives 80 - ceil((19871-1) / 500) = 40 points to 5 (ceil() means round up)
and 80 - ceil((412-1)/500) = 79 points to 4
...
and finally 9 receives 80 + floor((1931-1)/500) = 83 points from 6. (floor() round down)
which is the opposite for 6 who gives 80 - ceil((1-1931)/500) = 83
Racing, it's just a bunch of numbers.
Hey guys! Tonight I had the most fun in dailies I think I’ve ever had! I was within 600 points of A-DR! A milestone that felt meaningful, giving the next race substance, risk, and reward!
In this bracket I qualify at around p10 and am more than thrilled to finish there, requiring my best driving. It took 3 races! Finishing p10 and p9 and p9.
But I got it!!! The elusive (too me) DR A!!!
Every race was filled with familiar faces....or names... whatever, and every race I battled them all repeatedly. Fuji + Gr. 2 both seem to give me my biggest leaps in skill, forcing every touch of the brakes and gas to be done with purpose.
They were all some of the best racing of my career. Not without their slips and wobbles, but for me it was the top of my game.
The gaps meant something - strategy meant something - tenths meant something - pushing/patience/defending made a difference in the end - and so on
These are things I’ve only had glimpses of in racing, and they were all here at every moment and it just felt good to compete this way in the mid-field!
Long clean and hard battles, mixed up by pit stops, only to come back again was fun. I practiced a lot of patience and was really able to turn it on when I was ready to make a move. Constantly in the mix with familiar drivers, knowing their corners alittle.
So with the element of these races having meaning, and not folding under pressure, and driving at MY best, I just had a blast! This is what I want from GTS, and hope I continue to find it here.
Thank you everyone in the GTP community and in TPC for making the silly task of achieving DR-A; something to work for, something that had meaning, and something to be achieved only when I’m at my best!!!!

Usually, I'd hop in to a real Daily Race C to test out the strategies.Race C: Gr.3 @ Monza, 10 laps, RM/RH, Tires x13, Fuel x6 ()
I had a penalty for colliding with another car but i watched the incident at every angle there is no touching whatever.Had a 3s penalty for a similar incident on that corner as well. The bump was so imperceptible I didn't even notice it. it I think car models didn't actually had any contact, at least in my case
Worth mentioning that RH tyres are mandatory, so strategy could play a great role in the midst of all the inevitable chaosNext week's dailies:
Race C: Gr.3 @ Monza, 10 laps, RM/RH, Tires x13, Fuel x6 ()
I had a penalty for colliding with another car but i watched the incident at every angle there is no touching whatever.I have spinned myself out of track not to touch the other car. It is hard to believe but true.
F-150 Raptor vs Toyota Tundra??N400 RE AMemiya on SS?
Have the trucks used SS in the past? Really can't remember.F-150 Raptor vs Toyota Tundra??
Have the trucks used SS in the past? Really can't remember.
If they’re giving us SS tires, it must be a pretty uncontrollable car, PD never lets us use SS tires.
It would be fun if it was the Lambo Miura. It would be good for PD to let everyone race with a unicorn car.
Will probably be the Supra though (although the SS tyres would be weird).
As you said... Theres nothing to debate in my opinion. Its overtaking driver responsibility to make it clean. Way to agressive/optimistic to not say stupid.I had followed the racing line as normal then most likely there would have been an accident. W
As you said... Theres nothing to debate in my opinion. Its overtaking driver responsibility to make it clean. Way to agressive/optimistic to not say stupid.
And to not be misundertood IM NOT JUDGING mr @Facosao
Its just my opinion in this situation
It's called "alphabetic sorting" because it's how one would list words in a dictionary.If that's true, then sequential numerical order is a term that would make more sense than alphabetical.
Sportsmanship is really temperamental. Went from SR A to SR E in two races and I only clocked up 3 seconds worth of penalties across both races. That doesn't make sense to me.
The new cap is actually 100000, not 99999. This makes it so that the highest rated driver in a strong top split FIA lobby is actually assigned door #20In GT Sport it's actually reverse alphabetical sorting, so it's the 9s that come first. A driver with a rating of 99,999 (thanks to the new cap) will always be #1, and a driver with a rating of 1 will always be #12/#16/#20 - though of course if there are other drivers rated at 99,999/1 it will apply to one of them via some mechanism I'm not aware of (perhaps by user ID?):
I know. I didn't say that was the highest possible number, a rating of 99,999 was thanks to the new cap - because the value of 99,999 wasn't possible with the previous 75,000 cap.The new cap is actually 100000, not 99999
