GT7 Daily Race Discussion

[afc5150]

Despite not feeling well this week, I've managed 3 race Cs. My 8:13:8xx has been good enough for Q1, Q1 and Q4. Race 1 was a mixed bag from CS to A+S, while race 2 and 3 were mostly A and A+.

Each race has very clean at the front and I've gone P1, P2 and P3. Should probably quit at this rate!

Could have won race 2 but ran out of talent going side by side through the last 2 corners and took out the barrier just before hitting the GP circuit.

I wouldn't be upset if PD had a dedicated daily race at Nurburgring each and every week. It's good for my DR!

I'm living at Nurbs this week. I started out trying to use the 2020 Mercedes but the rear traction in that monster is virtually non-existent with the hard tires and the ice cold track surface.

So I figured I would try something mid/rear engine to get some extra weight over the rears and not as much mass trying to yank me around corners. Tried the Ford, the Ferrari, and the Lambo. Didn't really like any of them, they're too twitchy for me.

I was getting times in the 8:28-32 range with those cars. Grabbed the McLaren and immediately set an 8:22 with it. Ran a few races, had a really good time but realized that the Porsches and BMWs would drag me everywhere. I could maintain speed in the corners but ultimately those two were just quicker.

I gave up one race and grabbed the Porsche. Immediately set an 8:17.

I'm B/S for ratiings and consistently starting at or near Pole. I have no idea how people are getting low 8's here but given they're in the higher lobbies I'm not that concerned.
If we could have The Ring every week that would be awesome!

Between low B and high B is a huge swing in talent. I would say that B has more variability than any other group.

A+ = 👽 Well they vacation out in the solar system when not driving
A = Attention seekers. Are serious hard core racers that put the practice in to maintain consistency
B = Blimey! Ranges from talented casual driver to a wannabe hard core racer whose skill is just not there yet
C = Casual folks and those beginning out..
D = Dregs
E = Exceptionally new! you never know, could be a total beginning or a A+ alien starting a new account (though they tend to rapidly progress through the ranks).

Am I wrong?


Edit: What is a good B word that describes DR B folks? Blood thirsty? Bodacious? Boisterous?
