It may seem somewhat obvious, but relaxing about your ranking is for me the best way to keep enjoying this game. I got pulled back from the brink a few weeks back when had lost all motivation to play Sport Mode. At least Race A is a somewhat safe place to not out-rank yourself with a favourable combination, albeit with a risk of DR-reset thanks to falling SR. Personally, the Super Formula races since Wednesday have been stellar for cleanliness, no small thanks to improving my quali considerably.

There are some very impressive replays in my Showcase

It's an interesting dynamic this week, I did a few As to recover SR starting in my 2000 Benetton, my driving was fine, going from the back really cautious just happy to bring it home.

Nope those A races decimated my SR horrifically and the only contact was with spinners rejoining.

B is a precession quite honestly, in consistent lobbies the veyron is quick but it's slow at the same time so you just end up in a line, I've done Lamo, GTR and NSX and Veyron tonight and honestly if the gearing was different in the Veyron it would be absolutely useless.

Anyways just rambling. Stay safe and race well racers

Edit to change DR to SR for accurate context.

I’ve been finding in race B that it’s hard to tell if a veyron is really quick, for them to hold on to it for a whole race is a lot harder than me holding onto my Lambo or the other awd out there

I’m repairing my sr at the moment because one said veyron driver who was 2 secs clear of me and made a mistake and wouldn’t let me pass 🤨

Anyway one thing led ti another and that was the end of both of our races!

When will I learn!!

I wouldn't know! 😂

Strangely, at my level (bottom end of B/S), I haven't seen a Veyron win yet.

A guy in the Suzuki Swift kept winning yesterday (!), today I've seen the Mazda 3, the Porsche Cayman, and a Jaguar all take wins - none of them 4wd 😯

I've just done the couple of days - finished last in most races, consequently managed to preserve my SR. But, I got caught up in a right old mess in the last race today, SR went from full S to A....

Don’t think I’ve ever see a Swift win! Great stuff.

I agree. I don’t worry about it now. That’s actually the reason my rating has took a hit was that I had a terrible week at Watkins Glen the other week, but I kept at it.

This week, I’m busy and it just doesn’t appeal. I like Trial Mountain in reverse but I’m not a fan in the regular direction.

SF at Suzuka. I’ll save that one for the TT. Don’t even remember what the other one is.

I want a one make Unimog race that can be tuned to a certain PP. Now that would be different!

I suspect I am done for the week, by far the best since returning over xmas and my DR went from a C to a high B over the week. May be a bit of a false dawn as the track and cars work for me, AWD means no assists and I don't lose time on exit like i do with RWD powerful machinery but let's see what next week brings.

I won a race at Suzuka yesterday, without crossing the line in 1st, the leader should be fuming!

I want a one make Unimog race that can be tuned to a certain PP. Now that would be different!

Those PP tuning races never seem to work on this game for the dailies. The last one we had was the Jiimny which was broken by the engine swaps, you could have 200 bhp more than the car starting besides you on the grid and if they weren't an high enough level they pretty much had to sit out the whole week.

Maybe the Unimog would be fairer since it doesn't have that option until at least the next update but it would put everyone on the same playing field if they raced them stock, at SSRX 😏

How’s everyone’s Sunday racing going?

I decided to jump into the Bugatti today and put some laps into it because I was feeling cheated this week, had a good QT, top end of BS and should’ve jumped into AS but this French car has been my nemesis.

Man once you jump into that car boy are you a marked man!
