I won my first race from pole with the Suzuki, and got 40 points for my troubles. However, I have now moved up to DR B, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if its worth exerting a DR B race for more points?

Yes and no. The points are based off the total DR of the room. You'd expect low B and high C to be of similar points. Gone are the days you could see the points before the race.
You may get more points but it's still a risk.

You can see the points before your race now. There’s a new menu in the lobby which shows the points for each position.

Yeah but I m pretty certain that if you leave the room it registers as 0 points and that’s your most recent race

Yes, but that’s always been true. You can never know the points available until everyone is committed to the lobby.

This combo was utter chaos in Oceania DR B GT2. Too much squabbling in quali at the front. Qualified P7 but the hairpin is a total bowling alley just like this combo was in Daily Race A a couple of weeks ago. Signed up with Porsche and tried the two stop Soft Hard Soft strat which didn't work on the first race and saw me finish in P10. Second try on the Soft / Hard one stop strat and I managed P5. Probably would have been closer to P4 and P3 had it not been for the auto pit exit pushing me across the solid line and giving me a 3 second penalty. Also had this problem on the two stop strat in the earlier race. Has anyone else had this issue?

I didn’t have trouble staying off the pit lines, but I did notice I took control a touch earlier than seemed normal?

Suzuki !!

Damn, this means you’ll probably be faster than me soon enough.

It was odd. Auto pit exit pushed me right to the point where I was grinding against the wall on exit. Instant 3 second penalty as right tyres were over the white line. Mildly frustrating.

Hopped onto one of the morning Euro slots for GT2 (DR low B). Normally I wait until everyone else has gone out in qualification but no good for these 5 min sessions. Had to battle through the traffic to make some space, ended up P9.

Started on the hards as planned. First few laps were absolute carnage in the midfield (think I accidentally bumped someone off into the barrier in the melee). Made a small error at the end of the back straight, ended up nose to a barrier. Had to engage reverse and lost a bunch of positions.

Pretty uneventful after that. Pitted lap 7 for the softs, had good pace (even had a purple sector 1, very surprising in the Suzuki). Too spaced out to make much ground, went from about p13 to p9 at the end. Someone had a tyre penalty which bumped me to 8th. That and the 51 points was my pre-race target so fairly satisfied. Not sure I could’ve done much more.

No danger. According to this, you were around 2 mins faster than me lol

It's also well worth noting you'll still be in GT3 League. That means you'll still be with the same drivers you would have been before; any B drivers you're matched with will be, just like you, very recent B drivers and while you might have an all-B lobby (maybe...) it'll be low B points.

Chances are each position will be worth 2-5 more points.

I thought DR C goes into GT2 ? I’m sure it says that on the website or in-game.

When did the GT leagues change?
Click to expand...
Checking cached versions of that page, it's looked like that since it went up in May. My screenshot is from the time of the Test Season in March.

I am GT3, so Famine seems correct

That honestly makes it worse; if they'd changed it between Test Season and GTWS22, that'd make sense with what we've seen... but if you're in the league appropriate to the Test Season it means the GTWS22 site is wrong...

Unless the rules are different between Test and Official seasons... That might explain it.

Where's your screenshot from @Fezzik ? It doesn't look that official.

It's off the GTWS22 official site.
 
Two races today, taking advantage of afternoon start times yay! 1pm and 2pm EU servers...

Managed to improve to P7 for 127pts after my first race at P8 gave me 122pts.

I'm driving for AMG and I think the 8H/10S strat was probably optimal for me, with minimal fuel saving and a very conservative driving style, refusing to overtake on the infield section and hoping others were the same.

I could've probably done better in both races, with careless track limit penalties costing me 0.5s in each. I couldn't be found guilty, on the other hand, of a ridiculous dive from a WRX driver behind me at the start of Lap 2 on the kink between pit exit and the hairpin. He chucked it to the left after drafting me, causing contact which i barely managed to keep on track. Unfortunately the innocent Mazda ahead was sitting on the apex of the hairpin as I barreled through after being powerless to stop. We both span out, Mazda coming off slightly worse judging by his insta-quit. Dumb move, so early in the race.

So today is a one stop?
Click to expand...
You could do a two-stop if you’re much faster on the softs, but generally it’s one - something around a 11S/7H. No need for fuel saving, just top up a bit at the stop.

I noticed this as I jumped from D to C again, get miles more points in C, hopefully It's 3rd time lucky and I stay here.. 3rd, 14th, and 4th I have had this afternoon. Second race was awful, didn't even get a qualifying lap in.
 
First race in the Americas noon slot. Brutally murdered in the hairpin on the first lap. 3rd to last in the first 20 seconds. Maybe the next slot will be less murdery.
