Actually, I do find it interesting. I tried the Porsche yesterday, and yes, it's more fun to drive than the F40. That comes with a price, though: it tries to kill me in the chicane. But when I get through there smoothly, it's a great ride.
Still half a second slower than my F40 time, so I'll try to learn a bit from your video.

I tried it too, but I think the rear is typical of a Porsche, a bit unstable. But I watched your video again, thank you for the video, and I'll try it again.

I'll give that one a go later methinks. Managed a 2:10.4 with the Lexus yesterday evening that's not a bad one to try either, bit slippier but you can make that work for you better than the F40 understeering into the wall.

I found the Porsche very understeery in the chicane but looking at your video I completely forgot that brake balance was a thing in this race. I'd been running all my laps with BB at 0.

Here's some tips. for T1, use more brakes than gear changes to slow down in order to stay tight. for T2 and T4, you might be able to get by with a lift and no brakes. For t4, I start the turn in 4th and then grab 3rd to sweep through. For the last chicane, try to get the turtles to go under the center of the car. I'm using the Lamborghini with +3 brakes.
Get to the mid/high 1:14's and you should start at or near the front.
I'm one of the lucky few that's having a great week. More wins. 1 last night, 1 this morning.

Had a go at Daytona few times, no qualifying. Used the Ford GT... the Test Car one. Times:
7th 1:46.9 18:36
6th 1:46.9 18:26
4th 1:47.0 18:29
9th 1:46.9 18:19
I changed tyres on lap 5 in the first race, the other three I pitted lap 1 and didn't change. A few observations:
If you're wondering where the 5th time is on that list, I was the victim in a sandwich at the chicane on lap 1:
I was furious about it at the time but the Supra behind me really only nudged me as I was slower than normal behind the Peugeot. That Supra ended up winning this race easily, with every lap a 1:45.9. Still, I had fun up until that point.

- I think I saw one Corvette total. Supras everywhere, and the speed difference for all of the oval you run on was hilarious.
- You can tell based on that list when my DR and SR started going up (I'm almost at DR A and my SR is back to max)
- I think people started getting the same idea as me, starting at the back and pitting lap 1 to avoid traffic. By my 5th race I started 11th because there were so many of us.

Thanks the tips! I’m down to 1.15.4xx and managed some races at 4am this morning although they were against A+ and A drivers so won’t do that again at that time 😁Here's some tips. for T1, use more brakes than gear changes to slow down in order to stay tight. for T2 and T4, you might be able to get by with a lift and no brakes.

I'm going to say it, why can't there be a version of this for every track, or even every event in the game? I've said before that I think the game needs a broader, more curated multiplayer version. By adding 1 or more events, like this, to the single player, it makes those events more valuable.
Don't tell me about participation because greater multiplayer participation is the way all games are going. Tim Sweeney spoke about it recently.
In fact, THIS would be a great way to drive car collecting. Imagine if you had to go and get one of the cars available in order to use it, even if PD sets the balance on the car. Let's face it, this rental thing was a reaction to bad economy design and greed trying to drive people toward buying credits.
Hire me ffs, I'll do it. I used to be pretty good at game design

I could not agree more, of all the talk of this game being a nod to the heritage of GT this race epitomises that.
Classic street esque circuit ✅
Tuned road cars we would actually tune and use historically (RUF not Porsche then) ✅
Race format designed for fun ✅
This is what GT was in the 1-4 years, a game based around improving a car and racing it. Now we have that but with human opponents and they tune them is like THANK YOU!
It's fresh yet nostalgic, close but fun, it's fast and furious but also a true cross over to the tuning and track day scene.
It's not a meme race on a meme circuit, although I loved the weather version in the nations/manu season last time.
Just a damn good thought out race setup.

I mean when I eventually stopped, it was lovely till some dude came over with a clipboard and told me I couldn't park there.
My wife went nuts, we stayed and enjoyed the rocket launch and then it was time to head home, which took 17 spins and a very slow drive.
Rate it 10/10 for views.....safety 1/10 and the staff were utter muppets.
🤣
First time this week I have turned on the ps5. Decided to chance Race C. First attempt with no QT was a disaster, rage quit. Did QT at 1:45.4 which started me 2nd. Pitted at the end of lap 1 and just did the best I could to mind my tyres. Got over the line in P1 just!!! Great race 👍
Edit: It's a real shame the Supra is so dominant. Just did a race in the Viper and it was lovely to drive, much nicer than the Supra but nearly 1 second a lap slower 😪😳

This is what (I believe) we all want. Balanced racing. From left to right, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place. I had the Lexus. The gap was 0.013 between us and I believe it was 0.2+ to 3rd.
No meta car. I know the devs can't force people into a car (cough cough shuffle race cough cough) but balance is a good thing.

Yesterday I set a goal of getting a time in the 1:45s for Daytona and I did just that. On my opening lap of my attempt I get a 1:45.991 and was happy I got that. I then dropped my time to a 1:45.501 in the end which is crazy for me.
My first race has me in P4 to start. I survive the bus stop on the opening lap and I feel great. I then get punted entering the first hairpin and that was that. I went "dirt trackin" in the bus stop a few times and I was way off pace overall. I finish P11 and head to the next one.
I start P3 and get shoved aside on the opening lap entering the first hairpin by THE SAME driver who punted me in the first race. I then get forced off track and have a huge spin in the grass exiting the second hairpin on the same lap. I get a 1 second track cut penalty in the bus stop due to my tires being dirty. I quit after another .5 second penalty as I don't see the point of continuing this race.
I was going to enter another one but decide against it. My DR didn't take a huge hit so that's a relief as I'm closer to A rank than I've been in a long time. Hopefully it's better at Daytona tomorrow.

I was already demoted from DR C to DR D twice since the weekend because of my multiples retirements. Demoted also from DS S to DS B. Eventually I don't really care. It's a matter of principle, I don't race with people with "very low level of respect and sportsmanship for others" (euphemistically speaking). I start to believe that there's some catch in the system of penalties. Hit and sent in a huge spun in Tokyo from a psico, I ended with 4.5 sec penalty?!? And the system read the retirement as way more serious than the psico's move? Something is really wrong here.

I encourage lowered skilled drivers to practice as much as you can to get a good ranking on the tracks. That's my usual method for the daily racing. My first two races at Barcelona were aggressive some, and on the last lap on the final chicane, my right tires went off the track limit which gave me a penalty and I couldn't get rid of it because I crossed the finish line a few seconds after the penalty occurred. So there was nothing I could do but sigh and just roll with the flow. But I hate it when I make mistakes like that, I wasn't paying attention either, I was focused on watching my back from some of those crazy drivers.

Speaking of crazy drivers from the back, here's one of my tips to newbies. Know when the jig is up. A lot of people get into crashes because they screw up a corner and don't want to give up the position to someone approaching from the back.
Don't do that, give the car the room to go through, fight to live another day and get behind the slipstream and plan how you're getting back past.

This.
I don't think people realise how little time you actually lose when yielding for safety as opposed to making contact and/or missing your mark.
Also, I think there is usually (a desperate) assumption that the faster opponent will drive perfectly and there'll be no other chances to pass them, forgetting that a little bit of pressure can often force a mistake. If the car in front drives a perfect race, then so be it. They deserve the place.

The best types of races typically fall in to 3 experiences
1. You run away flag to flag with no incidences
2. You are gifted places through others mistakes
3. You actually race and that means trading places, being passed or passing but all cleanly and sometimes you even snatch it on the line
It's sometimes easy to both forget we are all humans that make mistakes, poor judgment and clumsy and sometimes malicious rightly or wrongly.

Latest update hasn't fixed the lack of FFB in the SF's or 65 Honda cars 😕
So I hope they don't appear in any Daily Races soon..
