But based on the last 2 weeks literally could be anything now (except karts, I remembered Nebuc 🤣)

Deep Forest + Gr.3? Seems like a week focused on daily race B to me.

Interesting, I’d take deep forest over this week, shame they didn’t say DF reverse! Didn’t we only just have a daily and a TT 🤷‍♂️

Race C with x1 and hards, is that going to throw up something?

Please no gr1 deep forest 🤨

 

[brockie]

Flying! I was 4 tenths up too when the race started!

@newmedia_dev I thought I just beat your time until I looked again and yours had a 7 in there 🤣

 

[Nakano219]

Two weeks in a row with every race being x1/x1 and no pit is, uh, interesting.

This feels like a conscious decision with a reason behind it, I don't think they're just randomly just going super vanilla. I just can't think of what that reason would be.

I recognise a few names there - raced against them yesterday, one in particular is regularly dirty!

Didn't see you though, I was B/A but have now worked my way back up to SR S.

It feels like they are rebasing everything to start from stuff that has less variables.

My hunch is this is data for rebalancing the BoP and also testing what types of races people are gravitating to or ones that have cross pollination of players trying different dailies.

 

[brockie]

I started pole, caught the barrier and ended 4th 30 secs adrift 🤣

Surprisingly everyone seems to let the faster cars past, probably they know the opportunity comes back

 

[Talon16]

RMs & grid start for race A? Interest is piqued.

 

[Chris30]

If the tires in the C races are hard then I wonder what class of Group stock cars PD will choose for this event? I think it might be Group 3 but I'm not 100% sure on that theory.

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

Bad?

 

[_Katt_]

I love Road Atlanta but GT4 on Hards with no strategy sounds like less fun than watching paint dry.

 

[Famine]

Bad?

Banned.

 

[Gurzu]

Banned.

Please don't ban me, but I have few in italian...

Gr.4's at RA seems the only time I can be competitive in the 'Trophy so probably biased, but I love this combo. The racing there is usually pretty good and Gr.4's are about the only class RH's actually work on, imho.👍

PS - Get the paint that changes color as it dries. Makes the process lot more fun...😁

 

[GTWolverine]

Got my time down to a 1:26.7 in Race B and finally managed to take the chicane at 100% throttle. In spite of that I still had a relatively awful night including 2 consecutive disconnects - once while leading and once before the race even started (at least that 2nd one gave me enough time to really dial in my qualifying time above). I got another one in FP and decided to call it a night before I lost even more DR.

 

[Voodoovaj]

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?

I appreciate the sentiment towards the A+

I agree though, B seems to be the catch basin of players. Same with Low A. Many have their success by driving the same as one would in single player, banging of the other cars in order to make the corner. Frankly, I wish PD would fix the single player so that the opponents behaved the same (instead of like concrete barriers) and have penalties applied to bad drivers. Maybe not all events, but definitely the more advanced events. It might even make them interesting.

What is the fascination with deep forest and GR3?

Kyoto is so underused. LeMans is underused. Goodwood is underused....the list of underused tracks is much longer than the list of tracks that are on incessant repeat.

You have to remember Dr is actually an Economy with players trading Dr like currency.

It stands to reason that the majority of the Dr stays in the "middle" class while on either end you have the opposite effects with the highest amount of Dr per person average confined to a small %

 

[stpatty]

The turnaround on this Race C is great. I finished one and by the time I got back to the menu I had 2 seconds to enter the next one.

No I will not simply drive faster.

Well, in the A+ world you can spot some "not so subtles" differences in the paces beteween the pros and the casuals.
For example in a stacked lobby with all A+ drivers, if I start from the back with no qualy set I wont progress so much forward in the field.

However I can name several names who regularly start from the back in those same fileds and they can consistently make podiums.
Those players has they DR bar very close to the full limit and those players are the real aliens.

Believe me when I say theres a massive difference between the aliens and the rest of the A+ mortals

Don't worry mate, I don't think Famine meant it that way. You're an excellent skilled driver and you should stay with us on this journey. I'll check to see if you sent me a friend request. I'm excited about Eiger next week. I'll try my hand at those races, I don't know what kind of car it is though.

 

[bone_tone]

Well, as I've slowly progressed up the DR ranks, and back to the top end of SR S, I've noticed the following:-

• Less people using the Bugatti, I've been the only non-Bugatti in some races, but the last race I did today 50% were in other cars
• Racing has got dirtier, particularly from Bugatti drivers who can't take being overtaken by a non-Bugatti driver!
• I'm back to getting clean race bonuses again, hadn't had any since the 3 on Monday

 

[newmedia_dev]

I tried a daily B first one of the week.

Started on pole as was 1.5s clear by the bus stop. Crashed taking it conservatively.

Did 2 more laps and this is just not my idea of fun. It's like the CoD but at hyper speed knife edge.

I'll see everyone next week, I have TT golds so nothing really to turn the PS on for now.

Yes, I noticed in the 2 races I did at W.G. last night, some drivers were hitting and punting me causing me to hit the wall after the sweepers section. It irks me when people do that. They can't just drive around me, they have to be an ass and ram/shove to gain a position. I sometimes laugh cause I'll see some drivers that do hit me, a lap or two later they'll spin out or someone else will crash into them. Cracks me up everytime. So, what carnage do you guys experience out there on a daily basis?

 

[Gurzu]

Gotta love when you're half-way through a decent lap at N24 and hear the oil go bad...🤬🤬🤬

I know it's not 'supposed' to make a difference. But if that were true, why did I find myself asking what was wrong with my car comin' out of corners? Car didn't sound right and wasn't building rpm's as it should. It was a fractional difference, for sure but if it didn't sound right, it couldn't be running right. Stop by Sir Lube-a-Lot's and, sure enough, oil was at <NORMAL>.

I've always been HYPER sound aware. I attribute it to having really bad eyes and not getting glasses until I was 5 or so. Sound was everything so little nuances bug me.😁

Back to try and get some laps in. Down to 8:22 but pretty sure I can skate around this joint a bit faster.

I noticed that, after just 3 laps of qualify, oil goes to normal from excellent state. So I leave quali after every 3 completed lap to service the car. So, if you do 2 races in a row, it's advisable to service the car before going into 3rd race maybe. Just guessing, since I'm not racing from Tuesday.

There are two camps on oil status for qualifying/racing:

• DOES make a difference
• DOES NOT make a difference

Pretty sure the DOES NOT argument boils-down to "BoP HP is at/below the HP for 'normal/bad' oil so no impact", or something along those lines. If that is incorrect, or if there's more justification for the 'DOES NOT' column, please let me know.

I'm just going by what my brain is telling me...kinda like the proverbial butt dyno. No science, all whimsy. Also, I'm often told my brain simply isn't right, so take it for what it's worth.😁

 

[brockie]

Well I am officially done with B, I’m starting very high but I just cannot string 5 laps crash free through the bus stop so that’s it for me.

I led for 4 laps today, once, hoping for a win, 4 secs lead, binned it on the last lap 🤬

Agreed no fun,

@mellofello9 im definitely in the camp of does make a difference so I’ll change every 5 or 6 races

The "Does Not" is because BoP overrides any power modifications made to the engine, which internally is what worn oil is doing to the car. It might still wear but performance wise it 100% isn't making a difference, it'd be proven by now and more than just speculation.

@newmedia_dev @brockie
Also done with B - just too much of a lottery. Out front, then crash and try to catch up, and go flying up the back of someone braking and down-shifting for the bus stop. Went down to SR A within 3 races 😮

At least Race A is reasonable (I enjoy Gr2 on twisty tracks though) and seen the RCF and GTRs be competitive too.

@mellofello9
I'd have to go with "Does Not" - I noticed one of my Gr2 NSX's had 'bad' oil, and engine and chassis at 'normal' and there was nothing between them as far as qualifying and racing goes.

I went down to SR A in a single race yesterday...my first race of the evening, so hadn't properly warmed up. Started on pole and wiped out on my first time through the bus stop. Was relatively clean the rest of the race until I accidentally punted someone into T1 on the final lap and spun them, then got run over doing a terrible job trying to pull over and wait for them, before just quitting since I'd already fallen to last.
