This has happened to me a few times only on the Group C races, where i'll see no racers on the grid except for me. It occurs at the nighttime hours. I ran 10 laps by myself at the Nurburgring GP track and won 110,000 credits, but no one was in the race. Must be a bug or idk, but what is the fun in doing a race all by yourself?
No it's not fun, it happen to me 2 times, but everyone can Imagine how stupid I felt, when my overall race time was worse. To my excuse, when the race starts, I wait way longer than normal to move forward. first laps were around 2.08.xxx which is horrible. if I start midpack and every other driver is also physically there, it's around 1.55.xxx, I think.

"Watching my line/markers and NOT the car in front of me (still can't break this habit)"
- sounds good, doesn't work ;-) just to recite the trump meme.
No honestly, how can you blend out the car in front of you? You see it, no matter what, consciously or more like subconsciously. And that is good. On race C, there's drag when your like 0.5secs behind. It seems like it's so strong at the end of the straights, that I got 2 tyres in the dirt, even though I had my regular speed at the axis, so you must break earlier. after going uphill, before the next left turn I break shortly before the 100meter marker, if I have someone in front of me, it's shortly after 150.
Besides that, you do want to see if the guy in front of you is going in a turn too hot, so you can easily pass him, without getting hit (in case he is not ghosted then) or take advantage of a little mistake he does, by any means.
- another point I act differently is the revenge part. It became a pattern already, when I start from the front (pole - 4th) First 3 turns at least one of the pack behind me is more willing to push me off, than to stick to the race line and wait at least a bit until the real race pace. Those are poor skilled drivers, who are there, because of this manners. It seems to them (I guess), that they are so fast, because they keep the pace of the first and I'm holding them back. They forget that there is someone in front of me, we are all in the drag of the one in front of us, which can be tempting sure, but they can only pass me by cutting through the inside in a turn and still bumping me, which means, I'm from P3 to P11 if lucky, have dirty tires and lost all nerves.
Good thing, that the meta in race C is the McLaren, I don't like it and the sound it makes is a nuisance. It's so cute when a McLaren tries to ram me in a Mustang. works 1 of 6 times. just this morning in race B, I was in a Veyron and a Alfa 4C bumped in my back, he literally span around, just from hitting me, I honestly barely felt the impact.
My point is, I think those evil drivers do care for the result, meaning their final position in the race, by giving them back or preventing their actions, the possibility that at least a small part reconsider their doing is a bit higher. I mean , I encounter a lot of players over and over again, if he/she knows I"m willing to end both our races in the first lap, I stand a better change not to be their break again.
..do I sound bossy? I just overflew my text, like I'm lecturing something, didn't mean to appear like that, actually I wanted to ask something.
I read through blogs, I watched a YouTube video about it, but I'm still unsure about the break set up.
I became DR. B(which I am again) by changing my Gr. 3 FR cars from -3 to +3. Not sure if I really improved, but it seems like it. but
how would you set up the MR (which is actually a RR) Porsche 911 Gr3, I have it at -2, tried everything else, never felt right. Or the veyron 4wheel drive, I read -3 . my best set up is -1, which is 0.3secs faster than +1. And how are they not able to explain it in the game a bit complexer.
And we just had race B in GT7 so that removes incentive to 'turn back' as well. Race A is 6 slow laps around Tsukaba, not my cup of tea.
