I'm B-rated but since I improved my qualy, I'm always put in lobbies with A or A+ drivers now. Kind of unfair but anyways. I improved to start higher up now I start 13th each time 🤣

Unfair, maybe, but ultimately it's how you get better. I was in the same boat as you a month or two ago, now I'm one of the ones in the top 5ish in A as well.

Try and stick with them and learn their lines, you'll be with them before long.

You’re not matched by qualifying time. You’re matched by SR and DR. Looks like you’re close to DR A. Congrats.

1 minute penalty for this kind of connection!

Nice one! Yeah I watch a lot of replays to see what others do differently so I can improve. Using a controller makes it a bit harder for consistency but that's what I'm working on, trying to remain within 0.1 of each lap I do.

That would be great 🙂 Driving my butt off and always do everything possible for clean races, even giving up positions/ not overtaking to avoid contact, especially with so many dirty drivers around!

Won another race after I was rammed when leading and the guy got a penalty on the final lap and just managed to sneak past. Got fastest lap too 🙂

That’s something that really helped me too. It just results in a lot more consistency as although you may give up a position here and there the fallout of defending too much or pushing to overtake too much can result in a lot more lost positions in the long run. Plus it’s good for stress levels.

Lot of people (seemingly) quitting out at odd places in Race C, I can understand near the back it's a long race but I just had a german leave the door open going up the hill and I nipped by him for second, about half the lap later it looks like he just got the huff and quit out despite still being near 10 seconds ahead of 4th and a second or so behind me at that point. Lots of racing to go.

Could be anything in one situation but I have seen it a fair few times this weekend here.

Incidentally third 2nd place finish in a row in the Mustang, it's definitely competitive here if you want a change from the VW or WRX.

Probably the game freezing. Happened to me a couple of times.

I'm on controller too so don't fret, it's all very doable.

Yep. Seen a lot of people have this problem at Bathurst. Whole game freezes where you can still hear the action, but everything else is dead. I think the only way out is to hard boot the PS.

It’s very concerning because I can hear me crashing and I don’t know if I’ve hit someone and messed up their race as well.

PS 4 or 5? I've not experienced this on 5.

PS5 for me using a DD Pro.

The real spark simulator

I'm really upset about this 1 second penalty as he turned into me as I was overtaking just before turn 1.

Started 12th in an A-level lobby and still finished 7th after this but still, ruined my clean races bonus and chance of better finish... Was I in the wrong?

PS5 from what I've seen. Seems to be a crapshoot.

You were in the Nissan and got a penalty for him side swiping you? BS penalty.

Are yall using wifi or direct connect ethernet cord? I use cord because wifi signal is suspect here in tx

It looks like you were trying to get back on line after the pass but cut it a tad short & clipped car with your rear, dont think it should have gave a penalty but the game mechanics read it as you hit him in his front box, im no expert & may be wrong, better drivers than me in here can probably explain it better

Yes I'm in the white GTR

 

[Mercia]

I mean I wouldn't be too upset over the clean race bonus of 20 pence you can probably find that on the floor

 

[NikNakTobasco]

A race C win with CRB is worth less than 90k for over 20 minutes of online racing. Might as well not bother giving anything.

 

[gigio79]

I think that the biggest problem in daily races is the penalty system, completely wrong, it was much better in GTS.

True but I'm hunting for an A rating. Plus that was a completed triple overtake on the main straight so ruined the moment 🫤🤪

Can't say I have enjoyed this week or Bathurst for that matter, weird how I love the Nordschlife but can't really gel with Bathurst.

Looking forward to something a bit more imaginative this coming week.

 

[fmq75]

Is there a chance for a Nordschleife Daily?Was it in GTS?

 

[NAXEHT]

Absolutely, several times. Both Nordschleife and the 24h layout.

Bet that will be a crazy race, wrecks everywhere lol

 

[mad_as_toast]

Got my first win in sport this evening. Clean race and fastest lap too, and the cherry on top of that is a move up from D/S to C/S.

Sometimes it's all about letting the carnage unfold infront of you. I got tagged at end of first lap, held it, but second got a 3s penalty. Then it was a case of patience. Ended up winning by about 8 seconds which 8 was happy with.

Really enjoying the deep forest reverse.

Was just watching two streamers do the Toyota Cup in the Supra GT500 today.

Aura got to the track loading screen after the quali and it just sat there for about 12ish minutes before he gave up and quit out of the game.



Rory was not so "lucky." Was in the heat of a great battle when it just froze on him and died.

 

[Piloto_OK]

I did a really good lap during the race, my fastest so far, and I decided to share.
