I actually got a CRB in Race A yesterday, and gained 4 spots. That was a surprise because I knocked a car into the wall that was trying to knock me off. In Race B I have 3 CRB's this week so far.

I managed only my 2nd ever podium yesterday, in race C at Suzuka (DR C).
Started 9th in the Corvette, only passed 1 person on track (lap 1 at the beginning of the S’s). People just kept spinning off ahead of me.
I learnt from Captain Slow - to finish first (or 3rd), first you must finish. Slow and steady!
1 stop strategy. Was right behind the 2nd place Merc for the final few laps but decided to stick with what I had.
Starting to get worringly serious about this game - I really don’t have the budget or space for a wheel. I don’t. Maybe.

Im done with it too. Only done 3 races today and in ever single race some idiot has just punted me off.
Worst issue I had was a lead car obviously had an issue and lost a lot of places, and then just decided to destroy everyone else’s race. They brake checked me on the final corner in race b.
Until PD bring back the penalty system or improve the penalty system Im not racing dailys no more. Just a joke

Yep, saw that myself too. Quite easily get a pen for the smallest clip of a corner, but nothing when you get punted off the track. Such a mess at the moment.

I think it depends, if you just want to have fun a controller is absolut fine. And for me nearly a year long totally enough.
I now have a T300 and it is a total game changer, the feeling is much more realistic and after some weeks of learning my DR went from B to A... I know there are also really competitive controller driver, but I can not imagine to manual shift on a controller... even trail braking seems very hard for me

I'm really annoyed with PD as they are the ones conditioning players to be this way. You can post all the warnings you want but actions, or lack of, speak louder than words!
I started 11th as my best time so far is only 2:00:5 and was soon battling for 8th. Was good driving on his part most of the time but then, turn 1 on the last lap, he used me to turn and that obviously unsettled the car and he exited the chicane better and took the place. Will admit I saw red for a second or two but then decided against being a prick..
Confronted him in the lobby about it and his reply was "Side swiping isn't dirty like ramming! If it was, I would get a penalty!"
Can't blame him for believing that, it's what him and many others have been thought to believe by PD by allowing this crap... Will upload the video here once it finishes uploading on YT. Plenty of others in front and behind doing the same to each other as well 🫤

I can only see myself racing if I can set a time that will see me start top 3 which would need to be about 1.59.3. Can’t see that happening!

You're quite fast man, you'll manage! I came close to equalling your current time a few times but always make a silky mistake which costs me the lap 🤣 If I can do it, you will for sure 😎

Got it down to 1.59.7 now. What are the times today? Guessing that’ll start me around 6th. I think my best achievable time is probably around 1.59.5 so I might see if i can get there at least. I’m only one bad result from losing A+ which would be a shame though.

Told you so 😎 Well done 🎉 Honestly I found that with the change, not dropping more than 2 positions from your starting and getting a clean race bonus still moves you up the ladder. So with almost zero penalties, just avoid people and you should remain A+ 🙂 I've raced against many A+ rammers so if they can keep the rating, you should definitely do the same!

Speaking of carnage, last night there was this one player who qualified a bit slower than me but was also in the Alfa and a touch faster than me in race. He was so sanctimonious, calling everyone dirty and telling me i am dirty and i need to watch my radar etc. This idiot would try to pass IMMEDIATELY, the second he caught you, like mate, I have track position, find another three tenths in qualifying if i am such a burden.
He literally said i wouldn't lose any time if i "moved 1cm to the left" ... i'm like you're asking me to compromise my line so you can execute a pass, are you insane????????????????
Incredible.

This is the race I mentioned, though might need about 30 minutes for YT to increase the video quality to 2080p. No idea why but my uploads always start at 320p then quality goes up after an hour or so 🤔🤨

He is still messaging me next day to leave space! Like WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT. He tries to pass in the fast left/right/left sections entering or exiting tunnels etc, like man, it's going to end in tears, pick your spots or legit get alongside, don't ask me to leave space because you managed to get your nose up to my rear bumper, on the outside. Man.Oh I love these guys, show me the blue flags mate, not seeing any

That's so annoying. Even a bad penalty system is better than no penalty system.

Agreed, and if he’s faster through that section and he’s on your bumper he’d have the run on the straight anyway..
That’s me done with this weeks, been punted off 3 times tonight and it’s knocking my rating down too much. PD need to fix these penalties or this game will lose a big player base.

Doesn't protect you from being punted. Unless the A and A+ drivers are immune against the Race B rage disease (Myself, I have only experienced Class B).
Yup. I got very close to A (full white bar) with my controller and AT. Until destruction derby began, then it went downhill again...

Yes, unfortunately something like that happens when you notice that it's going like this.. don't drive any more races there that day/week. Maybe it works better in C... Or create a 2nd driver like I have, that helps to take some pressure off and still be able to drive.

I ended up having to use the GTR, the RWD SLS gets banged around easily by the terrible "racers" in A/S & A+/S races.
Tonight i watched an A+/S player try to ram someone overtaking him on the final straight into the pits, how are these muppets still SR:S?
The racing in B/S used to be way better and much more fun than these A+/S & A/S mixed races...
At least i gained 2 positions from it and finished behind Techno
I think i'll end up taking a break from these races and probably the game as there isn't any new interesting content, if the penalty system isn't restored soon.

True but if 4th is filthy I’ll let him pass and try to bring it home top 4 to limit DR damage. Often 1 and 2 will start ramming each other so there’s a free place there when one of them gets put into the wall. Can’t say I’ve seen much actual racing. Overtakes seems to be through ramming or gaining positions when people are in the barrier.
A+/A lobbies are absolute carnage at the moment. Seems to make no difference whatsoever, the filth is just happening a second a lap faster

The stupid thing is, it's a GREAT track for proper overtakes as the entry onto the fastest parts of the track are difficult to master and folks do make mistakes. Why people try to pass through the, i dunno, first up hill left before the awkward right on the straight, is beyond me. Gonna end in tears you muppet.

This weeks guide!
Want to say thanks for the guides you put out each week.
I ran a bunch of Race C in the BRZ, and just as you suggested, was able to pull some nice results in every one.
Starting on average in 10th/11th and running up to 6th, typically, even grabbed a solid 4th place without any pressure from behind. Kept it clean, didn't race people that I didn't need to race, and consolidated all those spots by just hitting my marks and running 2:03.9 - 2:04.1's in the race, lap after lap in the US/Americas Top Split (PS4
) lobbies. Usually only beat by A+ drivers who would have me on pace anyway. So your guide was SPOT ON!The new Subaru is really pleasant to drive. So glued at the rear but pretty precise on the front end, too. Never have to catch it on throttle-off or throttle-on, which in the latest updated physics is a plus (the current model is really weird and even the 911 RSR was going around on my in throttle-off entry scenarios, which it never did in GTS...). Nice and flexible power band for the esses. I was even able to occasionally go purple (yes, after lap 2!) in Sector 1, as well as the car tracked through those curves, even on fuel mix 2 or 3.
It helps that Suzuka is one of my statistically better tracks, I've always enjoyed good race results there even if I am not able to put in as banger of QT as many of the people I end up racing with.
Hopefully bolstered by DR a little, which has bled consistently since GT7 launched, since I get matched in the top split but have no chance of beating the other 6 or 10 regulars who show up to race dailies on PS4s... (started GT7 at about 45k, looks to have fallen to about 40k per the bar on My Page.)
