"Daily" Race Discussion

[s0cks]

I think the battery charge indicator in the Fit Hybrid at race A is just for show.

I just got my best qualifying lap while the battery was showing fully depleted. Compared to my ghost lap, which began with a full charge, I saw no difference in acceleration.
I believe it's only races with fuel consumption (race C/FIA) that actually consume electric power too.

Do any of you know for a fact if that's true? At this point, it's what I'm presuming.

Pretty sure it won't make any difference in real life either. The electric motor is only used at low speeds and low revs. On the track, it's always going to use the ICE motor because you're pretty much always flooring it. It is either or, you don't get combined power from both motors (at least that's how it is in my Prius, and I'm pretty sure it'll be the same for Honda, though I've only test driven a Hybrid Fit, not owned one).

Perhaps I'm lucky, but it's mostly been clean racing this week for me. Had a few fools in Race A, but the cars are so slow it's difficult to spin off. I haven't tried Race C yet though, gonna give that a blast tonight. Any tips for pit strat? How much fuel do you start with?

Fuel and tire wear not an issue at all, but there's a mandatory pit stop; you'll be doing a stop-and-go. If starting in front, you can pit as late as the end of lap 9. If starting in the middle or the back, you can pit as early as the end of lap 1 to get the pit stop out of the way and go for the undercut.
Pitting at the end of lap 10 won't count, and pitting before the start of lap 1 also won't count.


You start with 100% fuel.

I can imagine the fear the exiting driver felt as 2 cars bore down on them from behind.

I can also imagine the blessed relief when they both went past with no contact.

Great driving and still held position through the chicane.

tbh I think he was trying to get on the inside or force me to back out of it so he could retain at least one position more than anything else

Last night I had a very different version of this. I’ll post vid if I can but I basically did the same as you and defended the inside down the straight.

The car behind followed me and then, aapproaching the braking point, tried to go 4 wheels on the grass to take the inside line. Needless to say the brakes aren’t all that effective on grass and I simply watched him spear into the gravel and out of my way as I took the chicane. To his credit, there was no contact.

It left me wondering how often people who think they have a 1000 IQ strategy are actually overestimating by 999 IQ points.

 

[BawesomeBurf]

I'm actually having a lot of fun with DR A. Trying to learn manual shifting, and the slower pace helps me stay somewhat competitive.

As for penalties, I'd prefer dirty players just be banished to their own lobby for a certain amount of time.

 

[Stilva]

I got my qualifying time down to 1:21.325 which is my limit with my driving skills. That turn I was having trouble with I mentioned my last post is better, but it shouldn't be so bad that it will affect my racing. Which I'm sure the entire time will be dive-bomb city the entire time so it won't matter in the end. Here's hoping to clean racing.

 

[05XR8]

Race B from 14/14. Tried to hang at the back and once the leaders get punted down the order, they try to win from behind. Wound up quitting halfway on the last lap. About four others quit before me.

When everything switches over to GT7, may just join the Meeting Places instead of Daily Racing. Cars and Coffee type stuff.

I’m out the loop on GT7, what is that?

 

[hrnyms]

I really enjoy race B this week, great flow on the track. Managed to get an A DR, and to my surprise the races where quite clean.

Maybe the reason is I joined the new TCR Racing Team (Trustworthy, Clean, Respectful) which Tidgney startet this week. So you make very clear in the lobby with your driver name, that you will drive clean and so you might be treated respectful as well. I really like this approach and support it by heart so make the racing experience better for all of us.

I do no longer seek for revenge after being pushed and try to stay away from drivers or packs which seem dangerous. In the end I might be finishing not as good as I could be, but on the other hand I do not finish last anymore after being rammed into shadow lands of racing

Just saw an article stating DR and SR are carrying over to GT7 - and here I was thinking I could care a little less about the DR loss in recent weeks and start afresh in GT7 with everyone else! Daily race carnage gets to carry it's legacy over! Hopefully they improve it so we can carry on enjoying daily races without coming here to complain about the rammers and punters who wreck our races and tank our DR/SR ratings!

That's very interesting and welcome too - I hadn't been pushing mine much recently as I figured I'd be starting back at zero come GT7
Can I ask which article it was that you saw?

Nice!

 

[NikNakTobasco]

I’m not sure how much difference it will make. There will be so many new players that it will inevitably be carnage in every DR rating. And if they don’t do anything with the penalty system a lot will progress very quickly into the higher lobbies.

Good info, thanks. I don't see how they will manage cases where someone decides to play in both games at the same time. I'm planning to play GT7 but also GTS until all my friends gets the new game.

I reckon whatever your DR is on the 15th Feb, will be what you'll start with on GT7, on GT Sport it will just carry on increasing or decreasing as you play after 15th Feb without affecting your GT7 DR.....
I may be completely wrong though!

We will be transferring data from Gran Turismo Sport to Gran Turismo 7 starting Tuesday, February 15 and will be updated at regular intervals. These transfers will take place automatically. Players will be able to start playing Gran Turismo 7, which will officially be launched on Friday, March 4, with stats and data carried over from Gran Turismo Sport.

I read that your GT Sport and GT7 DR/SR will remain linked until they kill GT Sport off. I may be wrong.

 

[Famine]

Yes - that is exactly what it says. Your DR/SR as of Tuesday February 15 will be applied to GT7.

on GT Sport it will just carry on increasing or decreasing as you play after 15th Feb without affecting your GT7 DR..... I may be completely wrong though!

Well... that's one possibility.

One other that springs to mind is that this week's Daily Races will be the last in GT Sport, and only the last two rounds of "Road to GT7" will run in GT Sport.

Or they may continue and not affect your ratings either way.

I read that your GT Sport and GT7 DR/SR will remain linked until they kill GT Sport off. I may be wrong.

Although that paragraph isn't clear, it's talking about liveries (car, helmet, suit) specifically. DR/SR will transfer from GT Sport to GT7 once only - and that will be your status as of February 15.

Thanks @Famine , much appreciate the clarification.

So we have less than a week to optimise our DR/SR for GT7! Now I need to decide if I want to tank it to start at the beginning or work hard to improve it...

Or to tank it to start GT7 off among the idiots who can't drive to smurf some easy poles/wins which will almost certainly be part of the trophies for the game.

Not quite 4 wheels on grass, but near enough.

Who was the Driver of that Ferrari? You or your opponent?
Edit: ah i see the Ferrari was your Opponent. You are Right.. that wasn't clever from him.

In my oppinion, driving like the Ferrari are huge ********, that's no real/fair driving. Maye it works but that's to hard, the Ferrari pushes the Driver from WRX out or he have to Break extremly and maybe loose his Position to avoid any contact.


In a real race there are also limits that you simply shouldn't cross if you want to do your sport FAIR and DECENT.
In my opinion, such extremely hard pressure with the very high risk of both being thrown out is not appropriate.

But I'm probably wrong with this attitude in the game

😆sorry meant specifically the meeting place cafe thing.

 

[asifzk]

They're being really quiet about the GT7 penalty system. I mean dynamic weather and planetary orbits will be nice but it doesn't help me getting shunted up the arse by an Italian in the Senna Ss.

Lovely scenery to look at while your facing the wrong way in a ditch.

You’re not wrong. Moves like this are indicative of a terrible mindset among a lot of GTS drivers. There’s absolutely no reason to do this sort of thing, particularly since this is lap 7 I think.

I am defending the inside because this guy had already tried some very desperate moves elsewhere. If he was predictable then we could have simply driven the racing line and I would have yielded into the chicane to ensure minimal time was lost. We could have both ended up competing for P6 instead of him sinking like a stone to p15.

I'm back in action after a while. Seems that my competitive side has been itching me to do this week's Daily Race B even though I wasn't feeling it.

Only did one out of curiosity and for starters when I did some quali laps I seem to notice that this track is suited for a car like the Renault R.S01 GT3 so I went for that car. Managed to land a high 1:19 which is enough for pole but originally I started in this race in P2 but the player in pole left before the race begun so it landed me pole position.

And I was in for a treat as the player behind me gave me a good fight for 1st and we were like trading places.



Was able to get through and get my 40th win on my alt account and also my first on this variant of Sardegna. I enjoyed it overall and I needed it just to remove my rust because I haven't been doing dailies for a while now. Also I wasn't prepared that much for this Daily as you can tell on the livery I'm using because normally I would be using a custom livery on my preferred cars for Daily B or C but in this one I was using the stock livery for the R.S.01 GT3.

 

[NevilleNobody]

That yellow fezza above, it's a perfect example of the stupid things people do. Like really? There? I mean come on.

I qualified in Race B last night but PSN seemed to be giving me trouble, my internet seemed fine on all other devices. Managed a 20.4 but I can dip into the 19's if i get it all right. Lancer and QRX definitely fastest for me, cannot keep the Supra under control. Will try the Beetle tonight.

Is there something I did wrong on my pass? I mean it looked fine to me but I'm always in for some learning if I did something wrong and willing to accept my mistakes.
