If I use my old friend the "Pick a random car" button on Kudosprime I get the Viper for Race B and the NSX for Race C. Any signs of the NSX being any good for the Nordschliefe? Or will that be DR suicide?

“All and all, the ring is the ring. Drive the track instead of fight your opponent and you will do well.”
Great in theory, but on a track like this week all too often my opponent is on the piece of track I need to drive on

I hadn't played GT Sport for a few months until last week...I got the impression they'd basically removed all contact penalties so you can only drop SR by track cutting/hitting the barrier?
It's hilarious how nasty people become on track when the penalty leash is removed. Just shows how important the contact penalties are (even with its very obvious flaws).
Might try Nordschleife this week, it's always been "that track" I've put off practicing on because it's so long/complex (and it's not in ACC!)

Are they alien rank or just a decent driver? I'll give the NSX a run tonight for ships and giggles, but I've not historically had much luck with it!

In higher lobbies it works fine, through self-policing. The punters make enemies and get punted back or even taken out. Also, with penalties, skilled people know how to drive dirty without being penalized...
Personally I prefer no penalty system instead of primitive ones. A sophisticated system however would be most welcome.

They’re borderline alien. Usually top 50 in Asian qualy.

Had a run at race A. Absolutely hilarious . . . . when starting from the back and simply slow driving through the resulting chaos. But there are good races to be had. Simply have to survive Mulsanne. Ran several races in the Americas with a familiar driver. Doing well, then got starting behind and alien and run wide at Tertre Rouge for my only penalty of the night. 2 seconds, served in the middle of the straight. Ouch.
Still had fun setting a couple of laps before I leave for vacation. Enjoy the week all.

With HE pedals you can set up different pedal profiles which save to the pedals, so you could create a profile that would make the GTS brake and accelerator pedals linear instead of the stupid setup they have now, but as Yard_Sale metioned you would also need a drivehub.

I won't expect anything under 7:20 then, with my skillset!

Race is different and interesting? But Gr4 and the Nordschleife. What is one to do? Will have to make time to race both combos I guess

Both A and C are OK, but a lap short. Then you have the issue with everyone just shoving people out of the way, I really want to like this but it's hard. PS plus end at the end of Feb so I'll probably take a month or 2 off then anyway.

Race C is already dirty, A/S style. Bump until you go wide or off. I'm still getting in with the top split, the Viper seems to be the car of choice with 7:08 laps, 14:22 race time. I can do 7:15 in the RC F so far. I'm starting last as I'm in the farming room, all qualified and practiced, A+ and A drivers looking for DR.
Great track, same ugly crowd as usual. I saw one friendly person, @Mc_Yavel good to see you again! Most of the names I recognize are for all the wrong reasons.
Kinda looking forward to people crashing in front of me to knock me out of SR.S lol. The A/S butt bumping gets old fast. Find an opening, don't create an opening.
Next race TT Cup won in 14:18 race time with a 7:06 lap. He had 6:59 quali time. I managed to get down to 7:13 with a draft pass on the straight. Finished 7th, 27 seconds behind the alien.

Definitely feel it's become self policing to a large extent. It's not as if someone got away with a dirty move and didn't get a penalty, therefore any revenge is going to have the original victim penalised. Now it's very much a level playing field. If you try and shove me off to get ahead, and I'm still behind, you have no reason to feel safe going into the next turn and I have no reason not to repay the aggression in kind.
I drive very differently in this aspect now. I'm all fair unless you attack me, if you do then you're fair game when the chance presents itself. Under the current system, I am the luurrrr.

I keep making the mistake of avoiding people. Lose time, get dirty tires, 0.5 sec ignoring track limits penalty, and get bumped off by the car you just narrowly avoided since your tires are now useless for 3 corners. I got in the lower split room, lot of non qualifiers behind me (started 9th) and bumped and spun to last of course. I climbed back to 10th, had a 1.5 sec wall penalty for avoiding a different car in lap 2. Stop punishing me for doing what your stupid etiquette videos say to do 
Track limits are inconsistent at the Nord as well. It's more likely to get an "ignoring track limits" penalty if you already lose time while watching a different car cut the grass without losing time, no penalty. Same for the walls, can use them, but if you hit them and lose time, have 1.5 sec on top.

I don't know what to say about these daily races. Simply ridiculous to set an event with only one lap and two laps on Nordscheleife. I will never understand why they don't set at least two races with a decent number of laps. What's the problem to make events 10-12 laps long?

Race C has room for 3 laps, make it GR.3 and it can easily be 3 laps. We've had that combo before. 4 laps should even be possible with GR.3 cars. 15 minute race, 15 minute wait.
Penalties need to come back as well for GT7. The crap people pull on the Nord, no excuse. These are all experienced drivers A+ and A, know the track, can do 7:12 laps, yet can't pass clean if their lives depended on it. A nose on a bumper is not position. Twice already someone stuck a nose on my inside for the high speed left in the middle straight. Just waiting for you to lift to make the corner, they don't and use you to get through. Dirty as can be.

Qualifying time of 7:41. Yeah I don't think this is the week.

I'd be happy with lower class and 3 laps myself. I feel this track is better with road cars. A is far too short as well not even 5 mins and we had 3 laps of Suzuka which is longer than 2 of le mans. If it was just join and go when lobby is full it wouldn't be too bad, but this is just silly.
