Just went from DR = C and SR = A to DR = C and SR = E.
In 1 race!!!
The daily 'one-make' at Suzuka. Had a bloody hilarious fight with some of the other drivers.
Still... WHAT?!?!?!
I feel you. DR A and SR B, one ram-fest at a one make TT daily race, goes down to DR B and SR D. Clawing my way back up ever since.
Anyway, I seem to remember that the number placed on the side and your hood of your car in daily races means something related to your SR/DR. What exactly does it mean?

Just won a race on Suzuka, starting from 3rd and leading from lap 3 to finish.
But my progress bar is stuck on D (fully maxed bar) for several races now.
Is it bugged? Because most of the time it jumps around half a bar in E/D/C driver rating when winning from non-pole position.

9x Tyre Wear really kills FF cars. I just had a heartbreaking race at Interlagos; going into the final turn of the last lap in 2nd place, I understeered like crazy in my Megane; 3rd place lunged up my inside and, to my horror, 1st place oversteered horribly on the exit and lost a load of time - I would have won if not for my mistake! They were both using the M4, which, I would imagine, shares the tyre wear between front and rear, unlike the Megane and TT Cup which are my go-to Gr.4 machines. Sad times but good racing.

Again. It's stuck.Just won a race on Suzuka, starting from 3rd and leading from lap 3 to finish.

Started in 5th, was leading after turn 2 because the other front cars were having a battle in the sandpit. Won the race and never once gave up my 1st place. All green SR too.
Still full DR = D bar. Won't move.
Tried restarting the game twice aswell.

What's your overall SR like?
Did you go up from DR E to D through achievement or just because you'd had five races at E?

Suzuka's a nightmare - I got hit multiple times, and my SR went down from S to AJust went from DR = C and SR = A to DR = C and SR = E.

Interesting though that first 6 places before the start in one race were all Brits, but we all got completely mugged and finished the race in the last 6 places!
Dragon Trail was not much better, that double chicane causes a lot of problems....

Hmm, you want this thread: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...art-6th-and-finish-5th-in-terms-of-dr.370778/
AFAICT though, the answer is 'no'. It seems far better to qualify as well as you can, and then try to improve your position from there. Then, after a race or two, go back into quali (skip a race if necessary) - I often get a better time, especially if a race has had me chasing someone faster for a few laps.

No. You'll gain a few points for being 5th or 4th, but nowhere near as much as you would for finishing 1st.
Gaining places does seem to have an effect, but it's not much of one. My best guess at the moment is that if you start 12th and finish 5th, you'd get more points for the 5th place itself than you would for the seven gained places; if you started 4th and finished 4th, you'd get more.
The way to get the most DR points is qualify well and finish well.
You might have a situation where your DPUR is stuck well above 100% for some reason. This would be a case of live with it for now, but log back in tomorrow after everything has reset and see if it's changed.

What the 🤬 were you doing to do that?
As for your DR being stuck at D, what are the DRs of the people you are racing against? Could it be that with such a low SR you're getting matched against people with lower DRs than you? In which case you'd barely gain DR by winning.

All of them were DR = D, SR = E when I was, and everyone I matched up with after climbing SR to D and C it was always same ratings as me on everyone. Not sure if visual bug or actual ratings.

Now that your SR is C, I think you'll need to gain some DR before it will consider moving you up to DR=C. (Having SR=D would've stopped you getting DR=C, before).
Have you checked out your actual, numeric, DR score?
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/your-dr-sr-progress-tracker-provided-by-kudosprime.372590/
The charts are day-by-day rather than race-by-race, but the latest values should be your current scores I think.

I tried a while back to qualify slower than I could run and ran 5 races, then upped my qualifying time by 2 seconds to see the effect on my starting grid position and my results were I was just placed in a lobby with faster racers and still started mid pack with both qualifying times.
So from my experience it is luck of the draw where you are placed lobby wise and how you qualify in my experience does not seem to matter much on starting position unless you are one of the fastest online at the time in your SR ranking. Dr rankings can run from the top to the bottom within the same race and I have seen 30 seconds of time difference from place one to place 20.
I have seen less of the lower class racers since the driver DR adjustment a while back though and the times have not been off by as much generally between first and last starter.
This is just from my experiences, yours may differ.

I dropped from an S SR to a B SR in one race yesterday. I think it was the Group 4 daily where I had to bully a few people to raise my position from last. Then again, several people bullied me out of way. I was up to 8th place when I went a little wide and opened the door for my opponent, which was fine, but one fool in an M4 took advantage of the situation and pushed me wide at the next corner. Lost 3 places in the process. From guys with an S SR! Honestly? What are we doing here? Racing or ping pong? Yes I was a bit naughty but I don't think it warranted the SR drop. I've done stupider things and only dropped one SR grade. Doesn't make sense.

So everyone wants a SR S ranking the for clean racing and then complain because they lose that ranking for driving in a manner that is more common in the lower ranks and then wonder why they lose the ranking?
Pretty simple, bulldozer racing is for the lower rankings not S class. Race clean, stay in S, bulldoze get demoted. The way it should be.

What Gr. 4 cars are good for a 60 min race around Nurburgring 24h?

The one you like to drive the most. 1h around Nurb24h with some slightly fast but boring car would be a mistake IMO. FF cars are boring for me.
The M4 seems to be good atm (finally) and a good choice for that race.

Hahahaha that reminds me of F1 game sprint races at Monaco. Did they get penalties?

9 out of 10 of the players (including me) had penalties, so I guess this is the widely used technique? I didn't try it in fear of getting too much penalty. (basically everyone in my session used it, the Japanese and Aussies)

Had sometime spare last night, got online and raced in the GR4 race around Interlagos. First race, started 9th got upto 6th by end of it. Im not the fastest, but im not slow. Better than average, i suppose, very consistent. The first race was clean(ish). There was usual bumping and rubbing, which is all fair. I can play that game.
But, the second race, i gave up. It was a complete joke. Started on pole, my time was half second quicker than P2, i thought ok, if can get through T1 clean i can try to pull good gap and run clear. HAH how wrong was i, the person in P2 used me as a brake into T1, i shot wide, off the track, i came back on not cutting the corner, too badly. I got a damn 7 second penalty. That put me into the pack. Run to T4 i was being pushed off the track. I leave room, as much as i can. If im beat to corner i will ease off and attack at next best time. But to be blatantly push off is to much. But then, T4 i was t-boned off i came back on and yep, i got another penalty. 4 seconds this time. Carried on, fuming, got to last corner and again used as a brake, i went shooting through the last turn, nearly taking person out in front of me. flying off in the grass.
Yep i turned it off then. I had enough.
