This pretty much sums up my approach on the no-stop strategy. The funny thing I’ve noticed is that in the A/B lobbies everyone is doing no-stoppers with a rare one stop, and it’s just the opposite in the C lobbies. When my driver rating dropped (because I’m horrible at this track!) back to C I was stunned that I was the only person not stopping. I was also finishing much worse that when I was racing A+ drivers because the C guys weee just running me off the road several times a race. There is no recovery for that when you’re trying not to stop. Very frustrating!
You won’t because it’s a superior strategy. The reason this doesn’t work in a C lobby is because of a lesser skill and, I noticed, an absence of patience. I think they both go together in driving, and the A drivers are patient enough to practice and also to know when to choose their battles and make their moves, and when to yield.
In C lobbies, i have seen that it is almost necessary to 1 stop because they will run you off aplenty especially on 1st chicane
I just tried to do a one stop in a C/D lobby (this is how bad this track has been for me) because I was tired of getting clobbered when I was no-stopping. So instead this time . . . I got clobbered and found myself in last. At least with a no-stop approach I know that if I'm in last now, I won't be later because while everyone else stops I'll just keep on trucking. When I got punted in the 1-stop approach and was in last there was absolutely no hope of doing anything other than finish last. I ended up doing something I never do: I just quit on lap 3. I was in last anyway and all the flakes had already left the race, so I was going to lose all those points anyway. I should be rated D again by tomorrow . . . .
There isn't. But, once the race starts just pull over and let everyone go by until you're in the position you want to be.
Think we both got our wires crossed here. Yeah I wasnt criticising you or implying mine or your way is the correct way drive. Just stating that even though I’m on a different strategy both drivers still deserve the same respect on the track and it should be a clean fair fight. Its just when the faster cars think they can do what they like.
Before this happens they need to improve performance cross platform and then get rid of console split in dailies. Maybe then more races will work, otherwise I think splitting the same group of people up into more races will just mean there are fewer people with about the same speed as you to race against. That's already a problem now.
