My experience in race C is that it's only for blatant transgressions like ramming someone with significant speed but pushing, shoving and divebombing from way back are all allowed.

Hey Roggers,
First of all.. the RSR Porsche is NOT an MR but an RR. Unfortunately, I personally don't like the Porsche at all. Before 1.13 the car was really great for my taste. It drives very well balanced without too much oversteer or understeer... but now it is the epitome of understeer in general, how other drivers can achieve even halfway good lap times with it is a mystery to me, they probably force the car very hard, which is what it is does not suit my driving style.
If you want to drive an MR that is really very good, is also fast and can also save fuel relatively easily... test the Ford GT LM Spec II RaceCar, of all MRs I think it is the most good-natured and at the same time still fast enough in order to be able to cause surprises on the track.

My finalized tune for the '13 Viper on Race A.

I don’t why i just thought the Porsche was MR. I’ve always been staying away from it due to to think it was an MR car and I was bad at driving it.
I find mid corner the Porsche just does some strange things and Im always having to correct mid corner.
Not tried the Ford. Might take a look at it some time today 👍🏻
Is there any interested in these? I mean, I just scroll right to the settings bit and it's just the same broken suspension trick on every video.
Maybe I should post a video of my race from yesterday on Race B, which I won with skill but don't want to bore you. 😉

Incorrect. The 911 RSR is absolutely an MR drivetrain.
Why the Porsche 911 RSR Had to Go Mid-Engine
Going mid-engine breaks with years of 911 tradition, but it was a necessary step.

In that case, let's see you post a great time with a normal suspension setting.

With the RSR I think the secret is the opposite of what you’re thinking. The harder you drive it, the more it slides and understeers and the slower it is.
I get the most out of it by coasting a lot in corners and avoiding letting it slide. It is a car that allows you to carry very good mid-corner speed as long as you are mindful of its balance and grip levels.

It’s weird to me why they vary so much. I went to the world map and did the CE on Nurburgring GP (I think it’s with the AMG), and then decided to try some TT in a full powered 911 and it was fantastic even with TC0. It was easily the fastest car for me. But as soon as I go into the Daily C to use it it’s all over the place.l The BoP really messes it up.
I tried the Citroen because it has some really interesting specs. Again in TT it was fun but in Race C I flew off the track so many times that I got lapped and wasn’t even able to finish the race before time ran out! The difference is startling.
The reason I’m trying to learn ME cars, and I may be completely wrong here, is because it seems like the fastest people are using them in daily races. I’m also up for a little challenge to learn them. But so far the juice is not worth the squeeze! At least when I switched to TC0 a few weeks ago I could see improvement. Not so with the MRs!
I’ve had the experience except for the chicane at the very end. I’d been abusing the heck out of the curbs all day yesterday and then suddenly in the evening I couldn’t get through it without a penalty. It felt like they somehow changed how it is enforced midday.

Is there any trick while building it? I have the car with same parts and settings as in your Video. Still it has 655pp

Make sure to have all of the aero parts but not the widebody. Also I have the biggest rear wing but I don't know if that matters.

Yeah, front, side, rear and custom wing high. Custom wheels wide and all the performance parts as seen on your sheet. Weird thing, it was the wheels 🤔

I have the stock wheels, I may test different wheels later but I doubt it will be faster.

In the end I was only able to get the pp under 500 with stock wheels. Other/wider wheels made it impossible

Then I made a big mistake... I really didn't know... and NEVER thought that Porsche would do something like that to a 911 and then call it a 911. Well, the technical considerations are clear.... but for purists, a 911 is not an MR.Incorrect. The 911 RSR is absolutely an MR drivetrain.

Still, I don't find it easy to drive...at least not for me. Its cornering qualities are undisputed, but as soon as you step on the accelerator even a little bit too far in a corner, the car understeers incredibly badly.

I posted this a couple days ago: "I am no expert but I try to get most of my braking before turning in since they're super sensitive and get back on the gas asap - even if it doesn't feel natural - as it seems to settle them down." I think they're a completely different driving style and if you're trying to trail brake the MR cars get very unstable... which is odd. But, the way I've been able to make it work was get all but off the brakes before turning in. Then, at the apex, whether it feels like you should or not, give her a tiny bit of throttle (like at least 10%) and that settles the car down and keeps it from wanting to loop around. That was working okay for me, especially on T1.
Problem then is they love to understeer trying to come out of the turns. The only ways I found was to do a quick up shift or let off the throttle some to help dip the front of the car down, then ease back on the throttle. Feel like either one is losing time, though.
PX7 Grove Street has been using the Ferrari with a no stop and winning a lot of races pretty handily. But, you can tell he's really working for it at times.
I think your last bit is key. It's such a fine line though and not as forgiving. I also mentioned this a couple of pages ago about mitigating the slide, then understeer. "If you're really good with it and can manage both of those things at the same time I suppose it would be good." Problem is, that nice slide/rotation of the car eats tires.

PD do a little trolling next week and give us a gr3 race A (on a combination that I don't think has been used yet?).
Idk man this stuff tickles me the wrong way. They take away the one competitive road car option and replace it with random things. Tuning races or the oval races is fun, but just another gr3 race? it's nonsensical for that to replace daily A, and have it not mean anything, whilst still only being 12 cars. Still petitioning for a daily race D that's cross platform and has no SR/DR.
Aside from that, B is decent but already a repeat of what we had literally a month ago (end of May), but C sounds fun.

That's a skill as well
I'm winning at the daily races this week by not playing
I sampled race A before it became too much of a glitch tune fest, no incentive to go back to drive behind the field. Might as well race the AI for some interaction 
GR.2 at Deep Dive Forest hmm. Without a penalty system I guess I'll sample it and then ignore GT7 for another week. Faster cars deeper dives...

Well, I see where you are coming from. So far I've only done one Race C this week: on my second account (low DR B), to see how it's going. I went with the RSR without qualifying from P15 for a no-stopper. This seemed to work out quite nicely. I drove conservatively and climbed to P10 due to other drivers fighting and spinning out. Then everybody pitted, and in Lap 8 I was in P2 surprisingly. Okay, now the one-stoppers were coming for me, and I was curious to see how many positions I would lose in the final three laps. I turned out to be seven, I ended up 9th. The funny part: Not once did I get overtaken cleanly. Even so i made room, even lifted the throttle to let the really fast guys pass. They all rammed me off the track. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.That's a skill as well

Well, not quite. Two of them passed me cleanly while I was holding a picknick on the lawn... So, five punts, of course not a single penalty for any of them.
Oh yeah, the penalty system. Once in the earlier laps another driver I was battling with tried to divebomb me in the chicane. I knew he was coming, braked early, stayed to the right as long as I could, and saw him slide past my left with massive speed, through the grass right hand side of the chicane. He somehow managed to catch his sliding car, get back on track and drive on, gained 3-4 seconds on me. Okay, that's a big penalty for him, right? RIGHT?!?
Nope.
Come on, PD...
