Race B cut my night short! Pace is picking up some! Driving standards are starting to drop mid B. A lot of desperate drivers. I called a lot of them out! And they settled in and was faster! Nobody is braking on he 1st corner just a send, I was able to go from 11th to a comfortable 4th, my last race of the night

It seems like a majority of A/B drivers are more hasty and aggressive in the B races, I noticed that when I did mine back in 2023-2024. I'll add you as a friend when I get my ps5 back, hopefully a high quality one. When the crowd gets rough, always steer clear and stay back until they calm down otherwise you may get in a crash and you'll lose your good positions. Just a tip and reminder for you when you're in high-level races.
Being cautious, aware of your surroundings and being a little slow is better than being fast and not paying attention all for getting to first or second place. That's why I don't worry about winning every single race.

I wasn't on the top, in fact the best I ever got on my friends list was 10-15th, it varied from week to week but it was fine with me. What mattered was I was learning from my friends driving techniques and watching their replays or listening to their advice and tips. we weren't in online lobbies but we helped each other out to gain SR and DR together. Once you do about 200-300 races you'll start to get a hang of the rules and regulations, and always watch out for contact penalties. Sometimes they are strict and can affect your time.
If you do catch a penalty, you'll serve it once you cross the yellow line shown here.

This 2nd place finish really boosted my confidence coming back to Daily Races. Since firing up GT7 again just this past holiday season and after a hiatus since GT Sport in 2020, I had been so apprehensive about coming back to racing against other players online. I wanted to shake off all the rust inmediately, but I didn't want to be ruining other people's races by going too hard too soon.
Surviving this race long hounding from two other players, with some hard racing thrown in.... I'm sure a win would've felt good, but this 2nd place finish showed me that maybe I didn't lose as much of my racecraft as I thought. š

Got a rare win today! Been a scrappy, frustrating, week at RBR, lots of door banging and dive bombing, but finally had a clean race. Started P9, got up to the sharp end with two drivers battling behind me, and then P1 binned it on the last lap. The two guys battling behind ended up P3 and P4 and were thanking each other for the clean racing in the chat. Makes a nice change from the usual name calling!

Racing in race B and C was mostly great, beccause i was lucky to have at least 2 friends in each race and it seems that the malicious drivers dont like to punt people who chat a lot before the race. Anyway, i am really disappointed by the soft tyres. Even in the r. S. 01 Renault after 2 quali laps i still wasnt planted to the tarmac.

Well that was embarrassing.
Great battle on Race B earlier among super fast guys. I was extremely happy to cross the line in 5th - but then I realized it wasn't actually the last lap!! Wondered why my car was scrapping against the wall šš¤£

Have had mostly positive results in race B so far this week, always like Brands as I consider it my āhomeā track, being about half an hour up the road from home. Had several good races but couldnāt overtake except where others made mistakes.
Took 0.3 off my QT on Wednesday and that put me on pole last night, and finally managed to get it done with two wins, which is always nice (Iāve only got about a 4% win ratio!).
Race C on the other handā¦.Iām sure I did ok there when we had Gr3 with RS tyres there recently, but just canāt seem to get anything like a competitive time this time around.
Itās tempting to spam race B and get into DR A for another short visit, but that would be very much based on group 4 results only!!

I'm curious, what are your QT for race B and C ?
And where do they put you on the grid ?(I guess you drive in high B DR ?)
Race B feels too much like a gamble to me .. with a 30.713 time In low B, I start anywhere from 2nd to 5th but can finish anywhere depending on my luck during the race(best 2nd, worst dead last). I prefer not to risk it anymore
I have the same experience as you for race C , with a 28.815 I know I could be a little faster(like low 28's) but its not slow by my standards. However it puts me above 10 000th place on the global ranking I'll 100% start in the last five of the grid
I did no race C so far because it feels like I have no pace at all on this combo..

1.30.0 for race B (1.29 so close I can taste it š), not sure about C but itās mid 28 I think, had the same experience as you with starting position! Was lower mid b at start of the week (after a bit of a bad week last week), back to what I consider my ānormalā place which is about 60-70% of B now.
I havenāt spent very much time on my C time to be honest, got a bit fed up with always seeing the same time (or worse!) every lap. Obviously repeating the same wrong things isnāt going to get me anywhere so I gave up. In between race Bs Iāve been clearing up a few single player things Iād been putting off (Fuji SF race, RBR gr3 cup wet race, successful in the SF race, not so much in the RBR race, leading until 3 corners before the end š«).

Impressive B time, definetely beyond my skills !
For race C I think I spent 1hour to reach the 28's. Wanted to be in the 27's but quickly saw it was not gonna happen
Not sure I'll do more dailys this week but I sure have some work to do before we meet on track
In the meantime you'll find me doing CEs and online TTs šØ..

Having a good week at Brands, managed to get my QT down to 1.30.5xx and thereās a couple of tenths in there for me, I keep losing it on the second half of the lap
Donāt expect too many wins this weekend but Iām up for some BTCC action so Iām livery hunting for my G70
Good weekend all š
