There is some filth at Bathurst tonight. Been punted twice at the final turn, squeezed against the wall at Griffin’s and seen some heinous moves at the chase.

Such a shame.

I have no recollection about the races yesterday.


I’m going in country again now, I’m not expecting anything but mayhem in the top rooms..,

 

[OJBrit]

Now pushing up towards DR B, so probably won't go again today. Unfortunately my level of incompetence seems to be reached at just over the magic 10K points, causing an annoying yo-yo effect between B and C.

That seems to happen. Eventually you will settle in B if you keep at it.

No wins today as I only entered 1 race. However I did finish 4th at Leguna meaning I have finally breached the 20K mark.

 

[Groundfish]

I’ve done a few c races after dropping sr this week in the Mustang. Shame it forces you to pit, I’ve been using 10-12 laps med then the racing hard a lap or two.
Even with the unnecessary pit I’ve won twice.
It’s shocking how badly people need to turn on the aids, there.
I mean if you brake at the cones and run the line you’ll make up many many spots.
It’s shocking how bad guys are, there.
I run with the line on there, conservative, it’s surprising how the less you push there, the better the time...

Edit
I was just in a top room A/S B/S mix and 2 Brazilians and 1 American were reset TO E!!!
To e sr from 90 plus is quite an accomplishment in only 3 laps! Race B...

How do I interpret the tire rules for next week's C race based on the screenshot from https://www.kudosprime.com/gts/events.php.

1. 1 lap for Medium, 1 lap for Hard - any order - pit stop required.
2. No pitstop and can use Hards for two laps?
3. A medium is required but no other constraint?
4. Something else?

It will affect my strategy. If both tires are need then a pit stop is indirectly required. A forced pit stop for all will favor the FF cars as their grievous tire wear will be mitigated.

I was just accused of dirty driving by a teammate of the player who accosted me multiple times yesterday for defending the final two turns.
Lol
Learn to race.

I watched the replay. There was a tiny knick but you gave full racing room in the final corner.

His real problem is that he got 1.5 s of penalties and he managed that all by himself.

 

[Dairyworker]

Had a bunch of good races at mt. Panarama on friday and again early this morning. After fridays session of clean, fast, and hard racing, i went for a short session of qualifying laps and cut my time down to a 10.5xx. With that time i was able to start near the front for my races this morning, as appose to middle-front on friday. Had a bunch of great races with a couple wins and all podiums. Had nothing but clean races this week and some of the most enjoyable races I've had with this game yet. Really hope N24 next week can provide similar experiances, but not in a fwd car i hope.

I have a few replays I'll share later

 

[RacingGrandpa]

I think I can answer my own question based on @Groundfish 's recent post. The rules are the same for Laguna for this week. A stop was required there. Therefore I expect a stop is required next week for the N24

Also no GR 4 can do 2 laps without running out of fuel, unless you run in FM3 and shortshift....

Yes, THAT was the issue. That player is a faaast time trial player, and feels entitled to positions based on a qual time.
Lol yeah bud, I’m gonna pull over and give you the win the last corner!
Lol riiiii.
I pulled inside to the left and stayed there exiting the chase for crying out loud!
I stayed left the whole way, because I knew he feels entitled. I was worried he’d use the grass, many times they do that.
He pulled onto the outside and tried to late brake?
That’s never gonna work last lap final corner for the lead.
What an entitled jerk!
You see it a lot on the mountain where a fast player makes a mistake and gets angry when people defend.
These last two days on Panorama have been very very entertaining. You name it, I’ve seen it! (And probably done it!)

I did a test laps at N24H

2 laps with hards, only refueling.
Fuel map 1. BB -1
Shifting at 7000 rpm
Car: NSX Gr4
Results. Good. Car very stable

My next test will be with fuel map 2. Same car

Edit:

Fuel map 2.5 XD
First lap GP section FM 1 Nords section FM2
Second lap FM3 all track.
Results: Out of fuel at end of longer straight.

So. You must set between FM2 and FM3

 

[Mc_Yavel]

Instead of racing, i decided to put some lap on the mountain and tried to get more pace. I had a QT of 2.12.5 with optional of 2.11.8. My target was to at least match the optional time. Well 15 laps later I'm at 2.11.2 with an new optional of 2.10.7 with no more time to lap as I have to leave for work.

At least it's good enough for top 500 in my region.

Bring N24 now!

And what are the lap times like compared to flat out laps with either tire?

 

[NoStopN]

Despite our reports, races must be getting more civil because only @RX8 Racer made the IOTW video.

 

[Groundfish]

I’m sure there will be another episode.
I saw a guy from episode 30 get reset up close and personal and, I was sent off many times and returned the favor many many times.
The racing ranged from the worst Ive ever seen to the best.
It’s what makes sport mode fun.

I did a test race.

- assume a pit stop will be required as you will need both tires.
- tested with the VW Scirocco with BB+3.
- was aggressive and had 3 "offs".
- did minor tire saving but went full on the corners leading to long straights.

Tire wear: no problem and the VW is bad with tires- about 70% left on the fronts.
Fuel: need to add significant fuel.

My bet: this will be a mostly "no strategy" race. Race full out. Nil to modest tire saving. No fuel saving.

Yes, I predict that too. And likely with both compounds required so mandatory tire change

 

[gkgamer]

And what are the lap times like compared to flat out laps with either tire?

I randomly entered a training lobby hosted by a top America driver from Canada a couple of days ago. He used the Scirocco and was 14~17 seconds faster doing the no-stopper fuel managing strategy. He lapped around 9' flat a lap if I remember correctly, 9'03" 1st lap, 8'58" final.
His basic strat was fm1 and short shift, down to fm 6 in traffic (there was a huge skill gap with the rest of us), and fm 2 on the straights.
That's if the RH tires only are mandatory ofc.

 

[JoeDaSnow]

Earlier today, I had two additional victories at this week's Daily Race A. I had used the Volkswagen Scirocco Gr. 4 and Audi TT Cup in these respective races.

 

[Baka_Marimo]

The race on SSRX is with the 2006 Ford GT again...

Did you check on day/night status at N24? Keen to know if that's a night race or not.

 

[gkgamer]

Looks like Haw_co1337 was right in his predictions about the Daily C.
No pit required, only RH compound is mandatory.
So best strat is a no-stopper with fuel management.
At the moment in the Asia region the 2 top times were set on the VW Scirocco.

I just ran a Q session but it was in clear weather\daytime.

Phew! I might actually attempt the race in that case!!

 

[Baka_Marimo]

Just ran a race on my second account (haven't used that one for ages). Yeah, it's virtually the same race as 7 months ago. Started from 2nd but was hesitant to bump draft the leader as I didn't know whether this would give him a penalty. Everyone else just went to town and I fell back with no real chance to recover. Turns out bump drafting is fine in this one.

 

[05XR8]

Alt account this week. Starting with the Genesis.

A Veyron is P1 in my first race. Four SCIROCCOS, one TT, one Atenza, one Huracan, two Vantages and three GT-Rs, one WRX.

 

[JoeDaSnow]

A new daily race scheduled arrived on Monday. The first one I had entered was Daily Race A at Special Stage Route X. In this one lap wonder, I turned off the ABS and TCS and I had won this.

 

[Little_Guppy]

Only RH is required. So this *IS* a strategy race. Some have gone with no stop saving fuel.

Was in the same lobby as you. Didn’t know you were on gtp. Finished down in P9.

 

[05XR8]

Alrighty. race C. P11. Fastest Lap because I no stopped. Everyone else did. I didn't conserve at all from the start. When I saw the leader pit, I had .8laps in the tank. I kept going.

When the leader exited the pits, I had a 12 second lead. .5 laps left when I got a quarter into the Nord. 9 second lead.

I had to do fuel 4 once I dropped to .4 laps. When we got to the big Karussel, that's wh n the leader caught up. He was patient and I moved over way before so he could get a clean pass.

P3 was coming up a couple seconds behind. I made room as well. .2 laps left in the tank. Set fuel to 6.

The lead Veyron dropped to 4th. It was 7 seconds behind as I'm h adding through the esses towards the last corners that start the run down the main straight.
Thing is the Veyron must have gone off! Ballooned to 9seconds and dropped to 3secinds by the final corner.

I finished 3rd with .1 lap of fuel!

The leaders thanked me for clean race.
I said no stop works if you qualify high up.

I haven't set a time. Don't need to. I'll have some replays to watch for my enjoyment.

Lots of people punting due to cars slowing for corners and some trying to conserve. The FFs seem to try and conserve more. I'll conserve at the start this time. Starting P15.

Probably set fuel mix to 2 or 3 for the whole race and you'll get round without needing to back off too much at the end of the race I guess?
