Is there a way of knowing your net SR from a race other than on K'?

I have an app on Android called GTS Companion. Free. Ad pops up once in a while. But I've had it for a year without any issue.

N400 just might be the RE Amemiya FD. Could see PD using one of the 911 GT3s, but I think the FD was used in an FIA WT event.

 

[Pigems]

Let’s see how this goes.

 

[D_Dragline]

I'm not sure it is that simple. Ive had days of 2-3 races without a CRB, but my SR stays at 99.

On a separate note, does anybody else here generally run in the Asian zone at around lunch eastern Australian time? There are several names I'm seeing in races repeatedly, but don't know if anyone is on here.

I am occasionally racing at that time. It’s entirely dependent on my work situation. My psn is Dredge_Dragline. Say hello if you see me.

Clean racing in your region. That is not like the 'racing' on emea.
Great throttle control you have.

TYVM Sir, it was a fun few races. I was surprised by the cleanliness myself, it’s usually a little bumpier here too.

 

[Barney Da Dog]

I got a 3 second penalty for this sneaky punt



I wasn't that aware of any contact until I saw the replay. It's funny how this can get me a penalty, but getting deliberately bumped off results in nothing. In Race C though, I've had some really good, clean races - the rammers seem to take themselves out of contention leaving the rest to get on with racing.

 

[Redneckchef]

I've got to say I really enjoyed the Clio race for Daily A this week. Part of that being I got a quick time fairly early and started in the front 2 rows almost every race. Usually if we escaped turns 1 and 2 clean it led to some really good battles with some drivers I have seen frequently and know I can trust. Only had the 1 really bad race all week and that was just getting caught in others' carnage.

If they run the Porsches for race C next week I think I'm out. I seem to have issues at Tsukuba as well as Lago Maggiore in any reasonably fast car.

 

[KosmoKazi]

Never fails. Six straight Daily A races with gained DR on alt, then run a faster QT on main account... think: WTH?... I’ll run a race, and: get shoved off track from fifth place for a DFL and 1000DR lost down the drain, on a night before an FIA race that I’ve got a good chance of a solid finish. Never. Fails. I hate people.

 

[05XR8]

With the way Gr.4 is going, I'll steer clear of the Daily races. Such a shame.
Ran the real GT3 cars, that currently run in the GT3 Australia series. Plus, the bonus GTE 911 RSR, in my last race.

Vantage, R8, 458, Huracan, AMG GT3, GT-R. All cars were good. Well behaved. The GT-R didn't try to kill me, but it was the most loose on throttle. Huracan top speed is real good. AMG was the hardest to get to turn.

As for the RSR, had to drop it to 1st gear at a couple of the slow corners. Wish PD would have just given us the GT3 R.

Well, the F1s are the worse. Just like at Tokyo, top speed is all they got. Players were riding the inside lines and it just slowed me down. I didn't type any post race comments. Really isn't worth it at this stage of the game's life.

 

[Pigems]

Let’s try this again, yesterday was pretty fun.

 

[sturk0167]

At one point I was like "how can he be in the top3 after 3 turns". Seeing your karma video, I think maybe it's better I don't know.

Didn't touch another car.
After a couple races, you can spot some trends. I had a pretty good idea what was gonna happen at turn 2, and set myself up to dive below the demolition derby cars. 👍

Yeah the F1 is the odd ball in GR.3. Dont like racing against them, chaos every where when they are around. I love driving it though, but don't want to race it.

Pretty nice I must say.

Race A this morning, I did 4 of them with mixted result.
1 I hit someone down in the hairpin.
2 Podium finish
3 hit the same guy at the hairpin again!
4 Good race with no incident for me.
Love the combo, close racing on a short track with a car that will loose you lap time if you make the smallest of mistake.

Also raced with TPC_Holdmybeer.

When you're leading the race, and P2 hits you to take the lead, in the last couple of turns, it's nice to have a teammate following closely behind in 3rd, who witnesses the misdeed, and becomes the penalty system. I can't give any specifics.

I can, he hit me too in the next corner after hitting you. He did eventually apologize after the race. But on purpose or not, you don’t get to win when you throw it up the inside and knock off two people in the final two corners.

Edit: Did I overreact a bit? Of course. But I only had one corner left to make my point.



After the race buddy tried to say “you didn’t cover the inside”, as his excuse, before finally apologizing.

 

[baygencos]

I succesfully took out couple of dirty cheaters today at Race A and made way for the good fellas for some good racing.

Somebody had to be the penalty system as the PD one doesn't work.

I have some great replays saved that have scenes to be nominated for the idiot of the week.

Today raced with gotmaxpower couple of times and enjoyed very much.

Was in a race A that you won earlier, unfortunately I was well out of my league in that lobby and finished 9th.

Took care of a driver at the back whose entry message was “I’m the most hated driver on GTS and I love it”, so I made his day.

IDK guys. I didn't think the 1st pass was that bad/not anger worthy. I've made the same pass twice (but against MR2s). Also, it's Final Lap, the driver deserves some benefit of doubt if they were clean the rest of the race, that I don't know, maybe there's more to it.

He’d have gone right off the track if Sturks car wasn’t there to bounce him around the corner. And he ran right out 2 tires in the dirt on me and put me into the grass. While it wasn’t the worst ever, I wasn’t gonna let him get a win after that nonsense.

 

[NAXEHT]

Daily B went from pure enjoyment to grave annoyance.

Seaside II in Gr.3: 10/10

I wasn't there.

You know me, any chance to blame sturk....

 

[jwaaa17]

been doing race B all week. there have been some guys doing some great side by side racing and such. but also a lot of just driving really really fast and no racing at all. enough to make it a fairly frustrating time. eh, it is what it is. i'm not the fastest guy, but i do try to race clean. and yes, i do make mistakes.

In Race C, I "helped" a player I've played against since I started Sport Mode. They always drive a the GR.3/GR.4/GR.B WRXs. Another player dive smashes him at the back esses before the sharp left hander. I catch the culprit at the Stop Sign hairpin. As me run to the final right hand kink, I'm up the inside and nudge the player left. That slows them down, as my "mate" catches up and passes it down the straight.

I actually did one race last night. No qualy and used the M4. An RC F was the only other non-FF. A+/a room.

The RCZ and Scirocco ahead of me, were battling, but so slow in the corners and corner exits. Plus, they try to square the corner by do nearly a 90° turn, into the corners. Seriously?
I did accidentally hit the RCZ off, but gave the place back. Why do a turn like that?

Anyway, guess the RCZ didn't like that it had to battle for last with me and the Scirocco. So, it pulled over and left at the end of Lap 4.

A different RCZ had gone off while battling in a pack. It rejoined, ghosting at the exit of the esses before the last PZ. It's on the inside, the RC F goes up the inside. I take the outside with Scirocco behind me. The RCZ jinks hard right. Right in front of me and I hit it's rear bumper.
Propels it forward. The Scirocco takes my position. As we round the corner before pit exit, the RCZ gets 1 second. As it goes wide at the final corner, another .5 seconds. Gets demoted to last.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

That was an interesting one!

 

[NevilleNobody]

In regards to squaring off the corner, have t confess i do that a bit. I used the 4 way pad and X and square so my inputs are a bit .... non linear! If i try and take a more natural arc, i understeer like crazy. I am aware of it though and try to avoid contact.

There was contact from him before the final lap.
I don't think he meant to be dirty, but rather too aggressive, without thinking about how the other people might race him in the future.
It's worth considering.

 

[Rotary_Pilot]

I am going to miss this week's race C, it's been good to me and I have had some really good racing, a couple of rough ones, but mostly good.

I think a big part was getting my Q time down to a 1:40.5xx. Put me up in the lead pack at my where people are not as interested in high risk dirty driving. I actually was P2 and P1 braked pretty early into T1 on the start and as I braked early, P3 tagged me and sent me wide but not off and slipped by, but actually gave the position back after the decreasing radius left hander and apologized in post race. P1 ran off and set FL faster than I qualified, but had great racing the P3 and P4, the order shuffling several times during the race, but I ultimately finished as I started in P2.

I'll get some more C in tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll see some of you put there.

 

[05XR8]

I agree. Race C is one of the great combos. Just had a little bit of a messy room, but all my other races were good. The strategy reall comes into play. Can do the undercut to move up positions. Laps 4 and 5 work. Running to Lap 8 doesn't. I watched a replay while a long running Vantage(inherited P1 when the leaders pit) on RM, wants to try and battle the pole sitter on fresh RS. The door was open and the pole sitter goes inside. The Vantage on worn tyres tries to shut the door. Too late!
Then, feeling hard done by, starts exacting revenge for their own mess up. Anyway, that player tried to get a last full speed punt into the Stop Sign hairpin and missed. HAd to serve 5 seconds. However, as that player gets moving down the pit straight, a last second choice tpo dive into the pits , didn't work. They hit the wall. Tried to reverse from the reset, all the way back to pit entrance. Turns the wheel into the pits and gets reset again!
The player thendrives a couple of corners, in 17/17 and quits.

No qualy for me and I'm finishing all top 10, with the highest P6. All in the Audi R8, of all cars. Must be cold in hell.
Used the TT in Race B, with good results as well.

Other than seeing Dragline, have been racing different players every race.

Race C has been a very good combo. I’ve tried the Vantage and the F1. I’m always quicker and less cumbersome in the Vantage. I agree about strategy, 4m6s has been my standard, but I’ve also run 3m7s to get out of messy traffic and even did an 8s2m early in the week to avoid joining a battling pack as long as possible.

I’ve seen a few familiar names, but very few of the regularly dirty drivers seem to have run C this week. I do not expect this will persist into next week’s combo. I intend to do a few final races tonight before the good thing comes to an end.
