Tried a few more cars but went back to the Lancer and pulled a 1.30.7 out my behind. Thats as fast as i can go.

Regardless I may bail this week, no one wants to race, nothing but barge passing no matter the room I am in. Zero patience, just shove, shove, shove. Ridiculous.

Same.
I "only"have a 1:33,2** as Quali time. In 4 races I started P3, P10, P9,P3. The two races, wherein I started in the middle, had me reach last place in the first lap. I have to admit, I'm driving a little bit conservative for the first half of the 1st lap in a race, difference of quali-car and race-car set up. But I'm not losing time to the ones in front of me, so I'm not a block. But what those behind me tried to clear me off the road, to end my existence is ridiculous. It's like they're Hitmen.
As I started 10th (2o'clock in the morning) I was with one DR A driver, rest mainly B's a few C's and one more D driver (I'm the other DR D). Those good drivers are good at bombing and being bungholes on the track, damn.
Just to underline your mentioned mayhem in race B. It's in every Room A,B,C,D, but the better drivers can do more harm and mostly take a big advantage out of it. Me burning alive in my car somewhere off track, and faster pace through a section, because I was there to help them cornering.

to finish it up:
I won the first race, where I started P3 (BMW M3) and finished 2nd, on my second P3 gridstart(BMW M6) But I am proud to have continued the race, where I started p10, after the hairneedle I was 16ths, with 6.5sec. to the 15ths. You know who got me there, a DR B in a WRX, and It was so intentional, it felt personal.He must have hit me (braking for tight corner before it goes uphill), with around 170kmh. It's like you are a professional boxer (Dr B) and you beat up drunk Dteenagers (DR D) in a club.
I was so dedicated, to make a come back, that made it to finish in P6 (Mazda rx-v). I had better lap times, than my qual-time.

Time to retire from GT Sport. I just won a top split daily at the Nurburgring. Nothing else will ever be as thrilling or satisfying. Footage to follow.

P.S. @ShiftingGears was introduced to the previously described nemesis when he abused every Australian in the pre-race lobby. DNF so clearly that didn’t go well for him :D

Yeah he rammed me into the pit wall before T1 then eventually got punted because he was blocking and ramming 4 cars at the same time.

He also had a go at another country's players yesterday calling them dirty and uncircumcised haha. Which is the most absurd attempt at an insult or slur I've heard on GT. Definitely isnt winning friends lol
 
This is the kind of racing I'm looking for

Finally, flat out, nothing left on the table, clean race to the finish. I've never been so delighted to 'lose' a race. He was following me closely most of lap 2, contact free. I would pry the gap open a little only for him to close it again. A close race to the finish and a fully deserved win for my competitor. This all in SR.B, he got a red B for his efforts...

I had more clean racing in lower SR than in SR.S again. Lower SR seems to have the patience to go 2 wide, I've gone through entire sections two wide that would never work in A/S. Of course there are also plenty rammers in lower SR, but that seems to give more incentive to drive clean to those that don't want to join the ramming.

Great racing on the Nord, just got to stay away from the backfield in SR.S.

This is 100pc what happens. I did 3 races, one was fine because I was too slow to win but gapped rest of the field. The other two were identical, I am in REALLY fast rooms with a 30.7 so these should be responsible guys (all SRS). First lap I am right on the bumper of the car in front, like all over him, we get to the 4 brothers and I determine there is no way past, guy behind me just barges past me, i lose momentum and 5 places. It's not racing. It's either that or at the hairpin guys bomb in from miles back and push you off.

It's ridiculous this week after a mostly clean week last week at seaside.
 
I seem to be picking up some regular names now and it is the same people that cause problems. I’ve learnt to let them go as they’ll cost me more than one place anyway. There’s little defense against the ones that steam down the inside of that really slow hairpin in Race B. I see why everyone takes it so much wider than you need to now. If you take it to narrow you’re guaranteed to be hit if anyones close enough.

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 :lol:

I am several races older now, and i would suggest the GT-R, its not the meta, but its stable, keeps you out of trouble and will outrun most other cars on the straight.. or as in my case, catch them :)

My Q lap in the GT-R is a 7:10

Nice qualy time! I managed a 7:11.6 on an empty lap 2 in the RC F. Sticking with that as I'm fully tuned to the car. I got back in DR.A and fully experience the DR discrimination again. Red SR every race for ?, getting jostled in traffic I guess. So down to SR.C after a couple races and reset DR.B. Perfect, I get to start further back again :)

I'm always suspect of GT-R drivers on the track. It is indeed stable and therefore a good choice for the dirtiest drivers. Two races back a GT-R went out of his way to work me off the track. I'm passing on the outside and not leaving room isn't enough, he has to go off track to grind me into the wall, twice. I paid him back into the end, punted him into reset at the bottom of the hill. I'll gladly take that SR deduction. Of course the GTR got a blue S.

I wired my ps4 pro and ps5. It shouldn't matter since they are close to the modem anyway, but I have a suspicion a lot of our problems are from Franks_WIFI. Someone in the neighborhood is using a (likely illegal) booster. Every time that comes on (with max bars, same as my extender 8 ft from me, and far more than my modem downstairs) stuff starts randomly disconnecting... So far so good, no disconnects since using LAN cable. SA is still laggy of course, doesn't make a difference, but I haven't had these periods anymore where everything goes haywire for 5 seconds, then restores or sometimes disconnected due to data loss. It must be interference.

Anyway day 3 of the racing grade 5 math/science teacher. Nothing like going top speed over the ring with my kid asking probability questions :lol: French next, can't help with that lol.

Had 2 enjoyable races this week on Race C. Earlier races I was lucky to start near the front and get away.

Today was my 1st race as DR A. Started 6th-ish. Grid of mostly DR B. Quit about 1/3 through lap 1. Total waste of time. Not racing, just cars hotlapping and counting on the ghosting.

People often complain about how dumb the AI in the game is. At least they follow some kind of driving logic.
 
All I know about race A so far, is that if you start at the back, don't bother with any risky passes in the first few turns.
A lot of the backmarkers can't control the Mitsubishi very well, and you may end up off the track, and losing the slipstream of the leaders. Just take it easy until you get to Mulsanne straight.

The other thing is that starting at the front is really tough, because you'll get beat up all the way down the straight, and not have a great chance of surviving Mulsanne corner at the end. If nobody is on your rear bumper, brake early for that turn, and wait for the mess in front of you to unfold.
Starting 3rd - 8th is probably ideal.

*Update: I just did my first race of the day. I entered the straight in 9th place, patiently waited for people to self-destruct, and won it by 2 seconds. :gtpflag:

SR downs are mysterious there. I lost 9 points in that race, and don't remember doing anything to anybody. :confused:

Due to slipping into the 80's in SR I found myself in the dirty lobbies today. Race 1 was a pushfest or at least against me anyway. It's so difficult to pass so I can understand it to a degree. Of course the grid start doesn't help.
Race 2 was weird. We were all sat there for several minutes waiting for the start. Of course a fair few left leaving a cleaner start as the guy behind wasn't there. Worked my way up past accidents before the car decided not to turn into Metzgesfeld leaving me to slam into the barrier and of course pick up a stupid barrier penalty. Stupid game. That of course hamstrung me on the dottinger. And yet the WRX in front hit the bridge at Breidscheid and didn't get a penalty. I've only had to look at that wall to get a penalty in the past. WTF game!? Came home in 9th in the end after a 458 span at the karussell.

Thank you, i didn't dare to race with that Q time.. yet, another advantage of the 4wd is that it is a strong defender against the rougher types :)

EDIT: ohh and every start is perfect :)

8 races in B today. Got punted or rammed off in only 3 of them and the other 5 were clean fun races. My quali time is lacking so I keep starting between 7th and 10th but in all the clean races I’ve come top 6 including a 2nd and enjoyed them immensely. Every time I go through that hairpin I’m just waiting for it though! I did have one guy 3 cars back that steamed the sausage chicane for a divebomb on me and for some reason he just sort of bounced off my rear quarter and span out. I’ve saved the replay, when I can figure out how to post videos I’ll have to post it, was very funny.
There should be much greater emphasis and detail with driver training before being let loose online. For instance a driving school section on how to negotiate turn 1 at the start to avoid pile ups, touching a car would be a fail, another one about leaving space and not ramming cars off. I genuinely thing people believe that it’s ok to squeeze cars off as that‘s how we’ve always been programmed to play driving games.

Haven't been playing for months and as GT7 is coming soon I don't care as I used to about my fragile DR A rank (never been above 35,3K if I remember well).

I don't have good memories of the daily races I did back in the day (years ago), my rank has mostly been done thanks to FIA races but anyway, let's try A race on Monday...

Monday morning, my 4'34 seems not too bad so let's go, my SR is around 90 because I rage quit my first in almost 200 races the last time and I'm Q4.

Mulsanne of course cost me a lot, I'm put out of track and finish in the back.

I need a handful of races to understand what I have to do to stay on the track and avoid bulldozers.

At the end of the day I've done a 4'32"782, 7 races, 3 poles, 2 wins and a new friend on my friends list after he thought I put him out and had him back on a second race where he actually were sent off track by a REAL unfair guy! 😅 (and a SR around 96).
Tuesday I had 2 more races and 1 more pole.

A Daily Race has finally been a quite good combo for me, unfortunately I probably won't be able to race again before next Monday but if you start in front (pole isn't the best position because of the straight) you can at least achieve a podium if you are aware of the Mulsanne danger AND the random track limits...

Woohoo! After many attempts and a mind reset, I managed a fully clean lap at the Nordschliefe in the NSX, knocking a full 9 seconds off my previous Q time, now down to 7:15! Alonso approves!



I was cautious through some sectors to guarantee keeping the car on the circuit, and at some stages maybe too cautious, so I could find at least another 2 secs, if not 3. It's just a matter of stringing together those perfect lines and keeping concentration levels at their peak for over 7 minutes straight!

For your ranking that's not too lacking. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Finishing the track experience before being allowed on the track should be a given. But will it help? I've had a couple races with someone qualifying in the top half on the Nord, yet doesn't know how to drive the first sector. He was creating chaos every time. No you don't brake there, yes you do brake there... Maybe someone else qualified for him, braking hard for the slight right (T3?) at the start is bound to create a pile up.

It's always a guessing game on the Nord when coming from behind. I usually lift and coast to turns with cars in front of me, create a bit of space in case they brake early. I still get caught out now and then when someone brakes for the slight right at the end of the middle straight. You just went through the left turn at full speed, why brake now...

The esses before the final straight are another candidate for random braking. Always be on your toes there and coast into the right turn in traffic. Something A/S drivers never do. Last race I got matched with A/S drivers again. Had a good shot for the win yet was still behind two Argentinians. (Beetles, easy to out pace on the straight) However the Mexican A/S driver behind me with 1.5 sec penalty flashing couldn't stop humping my ass and pushed me off into the sand trap. I managed to recover, not spin and passed him while he was slowed from the penalty, still got FL and CRB, but one and two were gone.

PD should just put 10 sec penalties back for A/S for any front to back contact.
 
Just finished several A races. Got pole a couple of times and held the lead on one of them for most of the race, but got passed at the last esses (clean pass). On the other one, I flubbed a shift and dropped back into the pack almost immediately. The last I just did was really rough. Q6 so I was in the middle of the scrum. Six cars all trying for the same line. I got a 1.50 penalty for allowing myself to be pushed off the track. After than, everybody in front of me crashed on most of the tricky turns, but I was too far back to take advantage. Oh, well!
 
@Stilva So sorry for the punt. I didn't expect the early brake there. You can safely brake past the blue marker on the road. My bad. I quit the race later as well. Someone messed up in front of me, took me out, back to last after climbing back up to 12th. Nvm, 6:30 pm racing is hopeless.

No hard feelings to you and also it looks like I'm judging. It's just an interesting incident, cause I would behave like the viper (until the last bump, I would have backed off after the second contact), cause it's so much faster, at first.

That move probably wasn't the best way to handle that situation. I wasn't expecting to be shoved off track like that. I just find it weird the 86 took off like a rocket like that. Must have been some netcode issue or something.

That was you that got me? I thought it was someone else. Sorry about that, I was having some major struggles out there tonight. I had some problems in that corner in practice and braked a bit earlier than normal. On the standing start, I thought I was in the clear getting by one driver who had a bad start. Only I misjudged my distance to the car infront of me who was moving to avoid a car that also had a bad start. Then my TV picture cut out on me and I lost total control on lap 2. Got a hitting the wall penalty as an insult to injury. I barely finished the race within the time limit with 3 seconds to go. Total disaster out there. Hopefully tomorrow will go better? Yeah, probably not.

Yep, hope I wasn't a nuisance at the start, was getting my dinner. I did a bit of back and forth driving at DT gardens to speed up the process. Except I overshot a little, SR 15 now :lol:

It was me if it was that blue Ghibli car that waited around, 6:30 race. I had the picture cutting out in the past as well. You probably need a new HDMI cable. It hasn't happened anymore after I switched cables. What still messes me up now and then is all the people that quit. The game stutters every time someone quits, at the wrong time it can mean the difference between making the corner or eat the wall. And now I just quit myself lol. I was hungry! Don't race while hungry :)

Try again tomorrow. I'll be back in SR.S, can't avoid it.
Dinner done, gonna find out what the 8 pm SR.D race is like :crazy:

I checked the replay, it was you. Sorry again for the unintentional brake check. My TV cutting out was a result of my capture software crashing again. I haven't had a major problem with it until last night. So, I won't record my races anymore. I can't take that chance of the TV signal being lost.

Ah, the capture on the ps4 is not great, good enough to check race incidents but a mess when playing in 4K HDR. PS5 can record in 4K I think but no idea how that handles HDR. You can't ffwd on ps5 so pretty useless for checking incidents while waiting to get back to the lobby.

My a bit too far drop to SR 15 gave me an easy victory. There was one nemisis there who had it out for me but he crashed himself. The benefits of low SR, people that try to side swipe you get ghosted, go right through you into the wall :)

Next race in SR.B was a mess, punted, grinded into the wall, dirty blocked on the straight, the usual evening stuff. Still better than the subtle dirty A/S style, push until you go off. A shame it was so bad. That awesome driver from yesterday was in that race, starting behind me, but he didn't survive.

Someone from TPC was there as well, sorry couldn't place the name if you're on here!
 
So I'm fairly happy with my progress in the A race. Got pole a few times, haven't been able to hang on to the lead, but consistently finishing in the top half. In the last race, I was Q6 and got gang raped on T1 and shoved off the track. Recovered back to P9 as we entered Mulsanne, then got punted again at the Mulsanne Corner. Amazingly, I was able to control the skid and make the corner to move past the chaos and get back to P6 before the end. My DR points are moving up satisfactorily, but SR is taking a hit from being involved in the bumper car action.
