I believe so.....was watching Kie's stream earlier and he commented about it after the race. Said it was some kind of bug. This race say DR and SR not affected.

Yeah, same. Guess I'll try joining the AMG's for a final attempt after failed RX7 ’02 and Huayra runs.

@GrumpyOldMan , or anyone who uses GranTracker could confirm. Check one's DR number, do a race, and check again.

Just finished the second GT2 slot in the Americas.
Went with the AMG, like most everyone else. A lone Huayra and a pair of RX-7s besides.
Qualified Q6. It was a mostly uneventful race for me. I found a line to join on each straight and bumped it until we got to the front. Some rearranging on the corners as the line broke up, then more bumping.
Into the final corner, I found myself in P2 behind a car that had burned some boost on the prior corner, so I was feeling pretty good about my chances for a win, but... I was late getting on the boost. I did manage to pass the car ahead of me, but fell behind two others on the final sprint.
Finished P3 for 95 points. I'm more than happy with that result. I will NOT be trying again.

GT3 race worth 55ish points. AMG because, why not?
Qualified 6th and top 11 were all within a second of pole. I was laughing about the "DO NOT USE THE NSX" comment upthread because the one NSX was a 16.5s INTERVAL FROM p15, lmao.
Immediately out of the gate see that Quagmire in the Pagani is going to be a huge issue.
HUGE credit to my bump draft boy Vega in the silver GT-R, a lot of the bump drafting was wobbly but with both of us keeping straight wheels we were able to pull ahead. Cooperative bump drafting is what wins this race. Of course he got murdered by the guy who took P2.

Always jealous of the country diversity, my Americas lobby was 15 USA 1 Canada. Usually get a pretty decent chunk of Canadians and Brazilians but thats about it.

Ouch, wondered what happened to you this race.
I am in a much better mood obviously - won my first Nations race for 270 points!
I thought it was over when I ended up in sixth after penultimate corner but it turned out it was a great place for a nitro fueled attack on the last one - finished first with 0.050s gap to P2.

Am i tripping or did the GTWS GT1 times change from 4 - 6 - 8 o'clock to 3-5-7?
Came back home after a busy day thinking i could do a final slot at 20:00 but nothings there. When looking at next weeks Manu Cup it shows 3-5-7 but i swear the last slot in GT1 always was at 8 pm.
Looked like it was boring race but bummed and pissed that i couldn't participate as this looked like a chance for easy points.

I had a mostly-off day in C/S GT3 lobbies that ended surprisingly well, using a Corvette. It's not quite as fast as the AMG, but it is so stable running high in the corner that, if you don't scrape the wall, it will give a good lap time.
Race 1 - Qualified 4th, got caught up in some carnage and ended up with a 2-second penalty to drop to 13th
Race 2 - Didn't qualify, lost touch early and often, finished where I started (dead last)
Race 3 - Scraped the wall in qualifying to start 13th (would have been near the front had I not done so, as I was still less than 0.7 seconds off pole), hung around the back while a couple of wreckers tried to ruin the race for everybody (though the biggest penalty in that race, 5 seconds, ended up on somebody who really couldn't do anything to avoid the ghosted "non-"contact), fell to 3.4 seconds behind at the top of the hill on lap 2 because I overreacted to the last of that wrecker carnage, and used nitrous-assisted bump-drafting (as the lead car of the pack) to finish 4th, with my pusher (and the rest of 5th-through-9th) forgetting to use nitrous at all and the caboose winning that race.
A bit more on the nitrous-assisted bump-draft. Take the first bump-draft as normal, then squeeze just enough nitrous to get up to and maintain 270 or so mph. As you catch cars, you won't need to use nitrous again until after you pass them. You'll make up a couple seconds per straight, but burn through, depending on the breaks (lousy typos), about half a bottle per straight.

That was a fun one, first GT1 slot in NA, @C_Raccoon23 got himself a nice win...well done.
Fouled up Q'ing and gridded up 13th. Basically just kept my nose clean and slowly worked up to the front avoiding a few log jams. Took the lead going into the last lap, but knowing that P1 is the last place you want to be going into the final banking I was happy to see a 2ndary train push its way around the outside earlier in the lap. Going into the last banking I leaned on the nitrous but followed the leader's draft down low instead of staying up on the high line. 3 guys came around my outside. But both the leader and 1 of those 3 guys had a penalty to serve, so I managed to finish in 3rd. Happy enough with that result I'd say. For being a race with no effect on DR or SR I'm kind of bummed as I kept that one quite clean and got a good finish lol.

Simple post tonight.
1900 USA Server, GT3 (D\S) Lobby
Q3, P4 with Fastest Lap star
I should have read the race notes better, Nitrous was allowed? Oh well - didn't need it to place or have fun. Good racing today.

Q’d DFL but got into p9 by the last lap. Then got pitted by a driver who did this multiple times and I went from p9 to p13 after recovering. Wasn’t expecting much thankfully.
Watching the replay he took quite a few down in the race and got 4 seconds for his last takedown in the final corner but he still finished p10 🤬

Quick one and done for me today. In the lobby once again with @SPL170db. As expected, most people were in AMGs, with a few white RX-7’s including myself, and one Huayra.
I qualified 15th, but this may have worked to my advantage. I was in the back for lap 1 until the last banking, where things got pretty out of control; a couple of cars were spinning while others were picking up penalties.
Thanks to that incident, on lap 2, I made my way up to 3rd approaching the first banking but fell towards the back again, being overtaken by the large group of AMGs. There was a sole AMG behind me that assisted with bump drafting.
During the transition into lap 3, a few cars served penalties while a RX-7 crashed into the wall. I was with the front pack once more and I maintained 6th for the entirety of the back straight. Once we got close to the final banking, I made my move and used my nitrous I was saving this whole time. I stayed high and gradually overtook everyone. I was neck and neck with another RX-7 as we gunned for the finish line, but they had a penalty to serve, handing me the win for 205 points.

I wonder why DR and SR are disabled. An admission this week’s race is a dice roll? You’d think they’d want them on to ensure cleaner racing in a race like this.

So I did one of these and actually got a win! Number board 3 in an all A+ lobby. This race is very boring but intense at the same time. Luckily I was in a group that was legit. Qualified P4 and ended up in P2 by the second straight. From there, the top five of us did nothing but bump draft each other for the next 2.5 laps... which is exactly what you want to do. We actually broke away from the group a bit (not a lot, but enough so they were out of our slip).
So, of course, last lap last turn it's every [wo]man for themselves. I decided I was going to do the opposite of P1, so as he went high I went low. I took over P1 but barely. It looked like I was going to get overtaken by a pair that were in the middle but got a big bump from someone (probably by accident) which gave me the momentum to take P1 by .041.
But, again, it was nice to be in a group of smart drivers that just kept tight and worked together...
Definitely one and done for me. The easiest GT1 race I'll ever win.

Looks like you got pit maneuvered by "he who shall not be named". He's well known ever since GTS days for his brain damaged driving. It's sad that he's actually quite fast when he wants to be as proven by his A+ DR ranking.

I finished p3 in that one by .02. It’s amazing what can happen if you have enough fuel in the car.
It was a good group to be in. No one breaking ranks, no unnecessary battling. Good fun, but I could have done without p1 running so close to the top barrier every lap. Very stressful trying to gently bump and avoid ending up in the barrier.

Tried second slot and avoided that same punter from race 1. He was called out by many at the start as toxic and definitely fits the description.
Q’d better this time in q7. Lots of excitement in the corners but stayed out of harm’s way. I finished p9 this time for 178 points and that’s enough ssrx for one day 😁

Same thing. Missed slot 1 due to an event, slot 2 due to the road being closed on the way back from said event, and slot 3 ended before it started. I don't know why I even bothered, no possibility to gain DR which is my main motivation right now, and I ended up in a lobby without enough points to help my score anyway...
