I did this today. I lifted but since I was on the inside he couldn't go there so he ran off to the right.
He had blocked me since Aremberg though.

I'll have a crack later and see how I get on!
EDIT: I have no idea how to drive a clean lap in the NSX. I shouod have taken it as a bad omen when I'd driven 300m on the first attempt, spun up the rears and driven head first into the pit lane barrier. Nearly 100km driven, only two timed laps, countless abandoned laps, plenty of time on the grass. Eeeesh. This will be a tough challenge to master! 7:24 as a starting point...

I like the timed event schedules. Lets you plan your day better than just hoping on and missing a lobby and waiting another 15 minutes for one.

Yeah not really suggesting it, but if they want to do very short races it would be better than this. Say you have 1 hour that's under 15 mins racing in race A and about 30 mins for race C. Race A should be at least 8 mins and race C always over 20.

Having a laugh doing random cars in Germany. Getting good positions from the back and fastest laps in the Jag, Ferrari, Evo and Mustang. Got the NSX this time so just be glad if I finish.

It's a starting point. You should be able to shave seconds off that time. Just go in TT. If there is a section you are really struggling with then use Circuit experience. It even gives you tips on how to drive the section.

Been playing Ace Combat 7. Took a break and did one race at Nurb and one at DTG II(I just had to).
Started 5th, in the 86(no qualy) behind another 86. 458 behind me. P1 GT-R, P2 C7, P3 GT-R.
Clean racing until first casualty(860 gets out of shape, I get on the side and ahead of it. 458 chooses to stay behind me and last second, moves behind the 86. 86 hit the brakes too hard and the 458 accidentally taps it. 86 goes right onto the grass and armco and back across the track to the left(recovered to finish 5th). I ride the bumper of the P3 GT-R until we enter the back straight.
C7 ahead is out of shape. During the straight, instead of bump drafting the C7, Gt-R pulls out to pass. I stay behind the C7. Catch and bump it. Gt-R decides to squeeze the C7, but it's too late. GT-R leaves no room by the time we get to the Bilstein underpass. Nudges the C7 on the edge. C7 pushes back. GT-R rides the grass.
Next casualty is the C7. Too wild at the start of the final lap. I dropped back, it goes off on its own. Catch up to the P1 GT-R. it goes wide. P1 til the finish. 458 had dropped back 6 seconds. Everyone else 15-30 seconds behind. Watched the replay. Most contact stemmed from people just about being cautious and the "bigger" cars slightly wide at corners losing momentum.
DTG Ii in the RX-V. Started 11/16(no qualy). Finished 4/16. Everyone has more torque under acceleration. People kept going wide at the hairpin, riding the exit curb. These weren't slow players either. I'd get the tight corner exit and get beaten halfway up the hill. The Four Brothers is the same 'ol. Players either too hot into the first turn or braking for the middle two corners. No need to brake. tap the brake entering, use engine braking for the next two, start accelerating for the final corner. Easy. Probably due to the RX-V off-throttle cornering. The Mustang is good at that too. Hmmm..... nope! nope! no more racing til GT7!

I want to play it save
I know what you mean, I experienced the same. 1st race was all good, didn't get a penalty, started 8th finished 2nd. I bumpdraft the French Monsenior who was in lead and that gave us a gap, to finish the rest of the track without pressure. Second race, I was, .. well it felt like I was gangraped. couldn't find any race line, where they didn't attack my trunk or right side. After the mulsanne corner, I was finally left alone, dead last and bruised and battered. so I picked up my racing line from the race before. Penalty (only 0.5sec) I don't know where I was "ignoring the track boundaries". maybe PD got in the raping mood, as well.
Besides those two races, I only took part in race B. I want to keep my nervous system in an existing state and getting punt in the 2nd lap at the Nürburgring, would make it fade away.
race B I tried out- Atenza, supra, rcz, rx-7, DB9, beetle and surprisingly I did best in the rx-7, but still only a 1:34.2** (quali) ,in race was 1:35***'s). The supra felt awesome as well, normally I'm no friend of the supra.
unfortunately, I also have to complain about the drive bombing and putting the nose in and all this filthy behaviour.
As usual, the Le Mans track limits are inconsistent.
On one lap, you're fine. Next lap, you get penalized for doing the same thing.
Check out this track limits penalty. I've cut these corners way more than this and got no penalty.

Still 9 seconds ahead of me, and I thought I did well 🙈 I'm going to keep trying though, at least with Gr4 I can stay on the track a bit more

The standing start with false start is awful. Random stopped solid cars on a narrow grid, brilliant. Avoid them and you get an "ignoring track limits" penalty to start your race with. I swear PD does it on purpose, Dr. Evil must be running the show over there.
One race I got punted at Breidscheider Brucke in Adenau, into the wall on the bridge. I get the 0.5 sec ignoring track limits penalty... It could have been worse, get punted at the end into the wall and you get 1.5 sec penalty.
The game actively punishes clean driving
Oh well, it's that time. No more driving carefully. Join the rest, wreckfest it is.

Need to be very careful bump drafting on the Nord. I bump drafted @ShiftingGears about 5 times last night, no other contact or incidents, and ended up with a red S. ALL contact from behind is SR down, even if you're brake checked in the middle of the straight.Been playing Ace Combat 7. Took a break and did one race at Nurb and one at DTG II(I just had to).
Started 5th, in the 86(no qualy) behind another 86. 458 behind me. P1 GT-R, P2 C7, P3 GT-R.

And just on that point, I have a new nemesis. Lobby loaded to find some beef between another Australian and a Singaporean. The Singaporean was calling the Aussie a "crybaby". Interesting. Then watched the Singaporean dude in a WRX run everyone who tried to pass him off the track. When I got to him, same thing. Just waits until you get some overlap and then bumps you when you're vulnerable. Once you do get past, it's a punt next chance. Called him out after the race, he says "another entitled Aussie". Next race I ease up and follow him close until the straight. We get halfway down and I'm preparing to overtake when he fully brake checks out of nowhere. Proceeds to brake check me and the rest of the field for the first half of the second lap. Eventually I had had enough and turned him around at Ausfahrt Breidscheid. We argued in the post race chat and I got a PSN code of conduct warning. Not sure what for, the worst I did was call him slow AND stupid. The final kick in the teeth was that because of all the brake checking, I got dropped to SR A and he had a blue S. Nice.

@D_Dragline Every region has a couple of those. Could even be the same person on a different account. Sounds very familiar to this
That was when the penalties were turned off the first time (Januari 2020) I haven't seen him yet today, probably in the lower SR regions. I did see him again last time N24 was on, still doing the same stuff.

I'm using my step-daughter's account, to access the game with an A/S alt. It was just the one bump. Didn't take note of a red or blue S after the race. Just thanked the 458 for racing clean during the first Lap and left.
Man, that's why I was staying away. Knuckleheads like that.

Race C is sounding like a game of bumper cars according to all of you. I'm up .5 seconds from the B rank average according to GT Blade with a 7:19.4XX. Not the fastest, but hopefully it gets me out of the mess of the standing start. I started in the Ferrari but couldn't get it through the track clean. I then jumped in the Viper as it was in the last few spots in the top 10 and immediately cut 16 seconds off my time. I might be able to find another second, but I need to trust my abilities in the sections where I'm slow and find that time.

I'm just gonna reset DR/SR, don't have any alt accounts. A/S is get rammed, punted and bulldozed after 5pm. Might as well go race in lower SR rooms where I can outrun the bulldozers.
Two accounts would be useful. It's a lot less dirty before 5pm. Atm it's more like wreckfest.
Next race, donuts, to D/E. Enough of the draft tapping my ass in traffic until my car gets loose and sticking noses to finish it off. SR.S is hopeless in the backfield. PD needs to lock everyone to bumper cam, so you can't see **** while draft tapping bumpers. Easy fix. I drive bumper cam and any closer than 0.2 sec, no visibility, yet the car behind is pretty much on my back seat, tap tap tap.
Never heard of these, but fits the racing tonight

In the mid-pack and from the back, probably. Both races I was in with you this evening were pretty clean and straightforward from the front.
2 more second places, but I cannot get the VW off the line at all. Losing 2 positions before turn 1 isn't helping my cause.

The dirt falls to the back, hence I rather race in lower SR where the dirt falls off my radar. In the fast rooms the front dirt falls back to join the rear end dirt coming from behind.

I was all over the shop yesterday, got a TGT with a new pedal set - the wheel immediately had much more feel than the G29 but the brake pedal felt spongy so ended up in some stupid incidents

That guy is way too incompetent to be the same one. The guy I came across last night was a solid high A driver with reasonable pace, but just would not accept other people were faster.
The two races I was just in with you were a mess. I kept taking evasive action with 2 wheels on the grass to try and avoid collisions and then getting a sideswipe or a later punt for my trouble. I even had a knucklehead bump me off on the straight when I was silly enough to pull left so he could pass without being held up. Just swerved into my side. Race C in NA right now is all out warfarez.
I wondered what was going on. I wouldn't usually be anywhere near fast enough to be bump drafting you. I also saw you had some side-by-side argy with another driver who wouldn't admit he'd been outrun. I was hoping I could push you past him.

Did 1 Race C today.
Started practice with the Viper but switch to the Scirocco. Set a QT of 7.11, planned on starting near the back. Started 3rd. Stayed 3rd after 1 lap. Good battle between 1 & 2, I stayed close with 1 other car in the breakaway pack. Got a bit lazy near the end of the 2nd lap and let the car behind get too close. They passed just before the straight and I should have been able to draft and pass. A bit disappointed that I couldn't, it was ideal practice. Finished 4th. More than happy with that.

He can drive straight and fast, he's just being an ass there. He usually qualifies quite high, then if he can't punt those in front of him, he's start brake checking. He hasn't qualified yet for the Nord, will probably meet him again later. He was at Seaside last week.That guy is way too incompetent to be the same one.

I reset myself to D/E, clean start. Sort of. I started 12th (3K DR still too much, only 3 people qualified), everyone in front of me crashed, I was in first after Aremberg where the last drove off the track. Won with 28 sec lead, 14:38 total time, 7:14 FL, CRB, 33 SR earned lol. Which means 10 SR for CRB when starting above SR 50. Which seems right, one punt is a white S or -1 SR if missed another (invisible) SR up.
Anyway, now to find the sweet spot where people race, if there is any this week.
Second race, SR.C, down to 12 sec lead at the finish. Another CRB, this time worth 18 SR, to SR.B (52). Again no overtaking needed, started 9th, first a slalom between all the false start stalling cars and the rest crashed. P1 held on for a while, I slowed down to follow him at 0.5 sec distance. He got nervous after a while and went wide. I was patiently waiting for the straight, no rush, but he didn't make it that far.
SR.B next. 4th place in SR.B, 7 sec behind the leader, FL but no CRB. +9 SR this time, I must have gone off track somewhere, dunno. The start was finding a way between the parked cars again. Competitive racing in SR.B, couple clean passes as well.

My fears from last week have proven correct, group 3 at gardens ii just doesn't work imho. It's just a bit too tight and you're always feathering the throttle , so much time spent switching back and forth its just too much car for this track.
Oddly enough did my best time, 31.3, in the Lancer. I tried a lot of cars, if you are good with the viper i reakon you will donwell, other hidden gem may be the chop top vw if you can control it.

I'd say 7:10 - 7:15 might put you to the front of the grid for a couple of races. Then it starts putting you against A and A+ drivers (but only if you're SR 99). But if that's your unicorn time then you'll most likely get eaten alive even in B lobbies. Here in EMEA I've found that chasing a unicorn time actually puts you at a disadvantage. It is better to only do 2 or 3 qual. laps so the lap times are representative of your actual race pace. In case of the Nordschleife I'd only do 1. It might put you further down the grid but the races are more enjoyable and you might even gain a few positions.

They just should put again the penalties following a cars contact. It was way better, pushing people staying much more careful and thinking twice. I truly do not understand why they removed it. Of course sometimes can be unfair but way better then now.
Anyway had an awesome race starting 14th and finishing 3rd. But just because i have been lucky enough to avoid any kind of accident or too aggressive people.
