I love the ring too much as well, but some varying conditions will make it even more fun, hence starting as D/E today.
You used to be able to get rid of your SR, 3 SR at a time, by driving back and forth. Drive the wrong way until the disqualify timer is down to 15 sec, then turn around drive the same way back and repeat. I did that twice at Sardegna (on the pit lane out of the way) yet after two races I was only down to SR.A. At least I wasn't triggering the yellow flag either, so no problems for those actually racing, but pretty ineffective now for ditching SR. Maybe less SR lost per turn around and turning is pretty slow without handbrake (not working anymore) It worked better on the Nord, using the grass at the end stretch to turn around more effectively. That did the trick.
First race at the bottom split. Most were clean and very capable drivers, side by side no issues. There was one troll though, hitting everyone on purpose. He brake checked me at the start of the straight before he got to serve his 1 sec penalty from going wide several times. After the brake check he tried to side swipe but got ghosted. I caught up to first, contact free pass, won with 3 sec difference. Definitely not a true DR C driver I was racing in his 650S. In the top split a GT-R often wins pole to flag with up to 20 sec difference to 2nd place. Back to SR C already, always skipping SR D.
Second race had 2 dirty ones. One old one I recognized the name, he was intent on crashing me. The second a Brazilian who pushed me off twice when I initiated a pass. Third time I made sure to be on the inside and his ramming was ineffective. I finished 3rd, watched a close battle between 1st and 2nd from a distance. Yet most of the people in the room were cleaner than those in SR.S lol. Still SR.C after this race, got hit too many times.
3rd race I'm in the top split, A+/S GT-R on pole
I finish 6th, 28.8 seconds behind the GT-R. Actually a whole bunch of GT-Rs in front of me sigh. I'm still C/C at least (seems SR takes longer to gain now, good!) so hopefully it gets more populated and I can get out of the top split again.4th race, top split again. Same A+/S GT-R does pole to flag victory. 2nd is a Corvette, 7+ sec behind. I finish 5th 34 seconds behind. Same as usual, A+/S farming victories in the morning. I moved up to SR B.
5th race, another pole to flag victory for the same A+/S GR-R. Second is almost 10 sec behind in a Mustang. I finish 7th, got turned in on several times in the race getting shoved up the inside kerb, lose traction, knock the outside car off as result and likely get blamed for that... I finish 7th, 42 seconds behind. Yep, back to SR.C, more chance to get out of the top split!
Race 6: The other extreme, D/B on pole, C/S, D/S down to D/E in the room. The pole sitter won in the WRX, I finished 2nd 10 sec behind him after an altercation with a very dirty Veyron driver. He shoved me off 3 times, then attempted a 4th time on the straight. I pushed back this time, got in front of him and then brake checked him as I saw how this would end. Even 1.6 sec behind he tried to torpedo me at the end, but of course he got ghosted, hit the wall at 150 mph and quit.
Race 7: C/S on pole in GT-R. I pass him in lap 2 while he goes wide at Adenau and win with a 7 sec gap. Very clean room.
Race 8: C/C on pole in the Cayman. Clean fast race. I passed the Cayman just before the straight then slowed at the finish to give him the victory. Clean driver, made no mistakes, deserved. Fun race! Had an awesome outside pass, these drivers know how to share the road
Rcae 9: A/S on pole @Dairyworker yay! Unfortunately the guy I;m trying to avoid was there as well at the back. And yep, immediately he pushes a car off into the grass, into another car and I get to deal with his mess again sigh. @Dairyworker falls to third during the race but manages to get back to 1st to win with 0.275 to spare. Awesome!!! I finish 8th, low DR B now, somewhere in SR B.
Race 10: B/A GT-R on pole. I made it to 3rd but touched grass at the end and finished 5th. Gave too much room, but better me than knocking another clean driver off. Fun race.
Race 11: B/B WRX on pole. I finished 4th after epic 3 wide pass at 2:44 lol. Fun race.
Race 12: B/S GT-R on pole. I finished 3rd, 8 sec behind the GT-R.
Race 13: B/S 650S on pole. 5th place for me after an altercation with a Brazillian. I passed him clean twice, he bumped me off the next corner twice. The third time I passed him I slowed him down a bit, not getting a 3rd chance.. Rest of the room was clean.
Another difference between ps4 and ps5. PS5 must be hard to get / really expensive in Brazil as on PS4 I have rooms with 90% Brazillians. On PS5 only one or two. It seems the dirty ones made the move to ps5 and races on ps4 are definitely cleaner...
Time for a break!
