Really pleasantly surprised by the Lancer around Trial Mountain, I thought it was supposedly god awful but it keeps up well and is immensely stable, nabbed a 2nd in it in top split which certainly isn't too shabby.

Worth a look if you're wanting to try other cars, I'd say.
 
This pretty much sums up my Race B experience too. Great fun, but honest mistakes have unfortunate consequences... When you and your competitors manage to get it right it's SO satisfying.

Boneheads going for overtakes in stupid places are the only thing keeping this race from being the perfect combination.
Agree. If I cut out those silly mistakes this race is def been one of the best races recently. I jumped on today and lap 1, I got tagged in right, left, right combo just after the hairpin on the back straight. Got spun round from P7 to last and lost maybe 10-15 seconds. Managed to keep my cool, reset the car back on track and then went out to set 4 quali laps to the end. Managed to work my way back upto P7 again.
As for the bonehead moves I think with it been 5 laps it bring out peoples aggression more. I normally avoid daily b for that reason as the short races just seem to be more aggressive.

And this sums up mine 😂

Fast corners where you easily loose some control of your car? Sure lets try to go 3 wide and negate space for whoever is on the left side. And what do you mean I can’t bump you over any kind of racing line on the left corner before the last tunel?

This track has 2 overtaking spots with an extra one if you can keep a tight line and everyone is just trying to push and pass because it’s only 5 laps and everyone is close together with the new rolling starts (which is a good thing btw).
I’m having issues with bad driving at T1-T3. Either people brake or lift off early which catches me out. Or you get someone in the slip along the straight thinking they can send it into T1. The other spot is the right, left, right after the back straight. Get a bad exit and car behind sees it as an opportunity to send it.

I find overtaking spots for me is the long left hairpin, the sharp hairpin before the last corner, and the pit straight.
Long left hairpin I find people will carry extra speed and then us you as a brake.
Sharp hairpin I don’t think people are expecting an overtake as every pass I’ve done they turn into you. Ive not divebombed any of them so it’s not like I’ve tried a pass from way back
Last corner/straight I find its better to not attempt a pass here but to set yourself up for the switcharoo and get good traction down the straight to make the easy pass.
 
I wanted to make a video to show the clown who completely freaked out on me last night at race B, and sent me a bunch of hate messages before quitting. :confused:

He quit the previous race also, after crashing himself when he tried to ram me (I honestly have no idea what that was about).

Anyhow, I compiled 3 clips. The first one is the start, with me in second, and him on the pole. He get a track limit penalty, that had nothing to do with me.

Then, we go to the next lap. He served his penalty, and lost a couple of positions. I lost a bunch of positions because I hit a wall. :ouch:
Now I guess he was desperate to get back to the front, because he wrecked himself when he tried to ram another car.

Then, I show how far away I was when it happened.

After I drove past him, the chat messages started.

I had fun with the in-game Share Factory editor. I did a Halloween theme. :mischievous:



By the way, if you haven't tried using the Share Factory, which comes free with the console, give it a go. You can do a lot of cool things with it. 👍

I tried that at first and I couldn’t tame the understeer. I’ve seen one guy in my splits use it effectively. When he gets that turn right he sails past anything else on the straight
It just keeps pulling at the top end and so much torque up the hill.

Tried the Lancer, got my qualy down to a 52 flat from 52.3 and left 3 tenths on table by brushing the wall entering the long straight so it's my fastest car, will give her a lash racing tonight.
 
I’m getting clobbered on Race B and will soon be a B/S driver again because of all the B.S. drivers I’ve been racing against! But I’m ok with it. I’m having fun so I don’t cAre as much.

By the way, just for clarity’s sake on the turns:

Ended up rage-quitting last race before turning off PS5.. Started P7 on main account and was up 1 position by the end of lap 1. In lap 2 could have gained 4 places if I decided to bump-pass in corners but I don't do that so was keeping myself a car length behind a group of cars, waiting for an opportunity..

Lap 3 I get missiled into a different planet, engine and wheel damage plus penalty for kissing the wall on the following corner. The player who hit me got no penalty or anything... Went from 10% away from being promoted to A+ down to B rated DR with this crap over the past 2 weeks... This is horsepoo....
 
Daily B is fun! Also have some good pace, managed 2x 9:17 race time and personal fastest lap in race with a 1:49.9. Porsche feels amazing but the Mazda isn't far off either. Did a 50.1 with that

I saw you in one of the streams, I think it was Aura. Your pace is insane.



Sorry about that first race in the Lambo, @sturk0167. Not sure what happened there, but when that car starts to go it's gone. Yeesh.

ETA:

Having fun with my friend Mr. @Talon16 at race B.

Before anyone thinks otherwise that was 100% on me. I just lost it going through the esses on lap one! Took Sturk out in the process. But I did pre-apologize before the race even started. At least I survived the next race :lol:

lol, I tried an all-out, qualifying laps attempt at race C.... thought I was a chance against a mixed A/B lobby starting from pole. Pulled a 25 second lead running mistake-free, pitted at the end of lap 8....and came out 2.5 off the lead. Finished a second or so behind for 2nd place, but at least it was really fun!! Much more so than the slow-race game of chicken it seems to be on fuel saving....

6th sport mode win, first victory in this car AND first ever Race C victory!

Yeah the race bizzarely had mostly high ranking D drivers when I was just below mid C but I'm not going to let that ruin my victory!
Well done!! So good to get those first wins, especially on race C!
 
Only 2 races for me tonight as it's getting way too dirty for my liking and I'm not getting involved in that junk. I did get my qualifying time to a 1:51.710 so that was a nice bonus.

Race 1 has me in a stacked A+/A/B lobby with me being one of the few B racers. I'm in P9 to start and it's chaos from the get go. Lots of fighting in front of me resulting in some massive penalties that I take advantage of. But, I make a dumb mistake lap 2 and accidentally break check the driver behind me entering turn 1, and that sends us both to the rear of the field. To make it worse, I hit them on lap 1 as I saved a fishtail slide and I slammed the side of their car. I didn't think I did any wrong at first, but the replay shows I did the dumb and caused the wreck. I do catch the back of the field and finish P12. The driver I hit was upset and I didn't know why at first. I wish I did apologize, but it was too late.

Race 2 is another stacked room and I'm in P12 to start. A much cleaner race from my perspective, but still a bunch of drivers spinning out and hitting walls and those were the only passes I made. I didn't destroy anyone this time and come home in P8 with a clean race bonus.

And with those 2 races I will be done for the week. Like I said, it's getting very dirty out there and I want no part of that. I did pretty good at Trial Mountain with the win of course and only 2 finishes below P8 which is my usual goal for Race B. I was also one of the few non RSR cars in each race, and that is cool to do decent against the META car for the week.
 
I found that if I am still inputting a bit of right hand steering as I hit that brake/turn-in point for the left before teh straight, I can much easier "flick" the car to the left (along with some trail braking) to get it to rotate nicely. So I take that right (just before the tunnel) maybe a little wider than some, such the right tires are on the double-yellow line.

Take that for what it's worth from someone who's quali time is a 50.5 in the Corvette. The Porsche would rotate even better but I am done with the Porsche in dailies for a bit.
I'm faster in the Porsche but the Corvette is just infinitely more fun. The engine sound alone makes me drive it more. I do think the FR in the Vette helps it on the turns after the main straight. Tried that with the Audi and that things a death trap.

Epic pace this week mate. Lapping in the 49s is bonkers. Had you start behind me before you improved your qualy earlier in the week and I wasn’t keeping you there 😂.
 
The pace in race B is hot. My 50.4 is only starting me midfield. If any of the people ahead actually work out that fighting for positions from turn 1 is a bad strategy, I’ll struggle to reach the podium. ;)
 
Got back online last night and while in the Porsche from doing some TT laps, I decided to jump into Sport Mode with it. This was on the 1 account and after about four/five laps I knocked like .250" off my quali time, now down to 50.2. Ended up doing a couple races with it on the 2 account with @Bullwinkle but went back to the Lambo for some more abuse.

During some of the pre-race qualifying I did get into the 50s with the Lambo (a 50.985 to be exact lol) on the 2 account! Usually I try to keep my quali time on the 2 account higher on purpose, but I couldn't not accept any time I would get in the Lambo. I mean, come on! haha I can live with that.

The biggest issue on that track for that car isn't even the esses, it's the final chicane. I don't know what it is, but if you're going "too slow" the car will just spin out. Makes no sense at all; the slower you go the more likely it is to spin! I've done probably eight races in that car and I still don't have it figured out.

I am loving this week's B. I think Daily B in the Gr3 cars are the best.

I dedicate this one to @sturk0167 .

I bumped into you and Sturk last night on my American alt, testing with some other cars. Was nice to see some familiar faces.

Although I did find out starting from the back at Trial Mountain is absolute suicide. Carnage back there.

Hopefully you don't mean that literally! Was it the race I went full scrub in the Lambo, because I like embarrassing myself in front of as many GTP people as possible. :lol:

Hahaha no, you were in the Porsche, I did bump you all through the tunnel though because you were slowed down with a 1.5 second penalty.. I figured I'd try and speed you up a bit to try and make the time loss a bit less painful lol.

Thanks to Kie you may have an unwarranted reputation. His race was ruined by himself and decided to try and annoy who he thinks is a dirty driver because someone else said you were.
Sorry about that first race in the Lambo, @sturk0167. Not sure what happened there, but when that car starts to go it's gone. Yeesh.
That she does. Very rewarding when she behaves, but that is a rare occurrence.
 
The rolling starts are SO much better now. I've started up and down the grid this week, and everyone is entitled to a good race, whether you're just behind the pole sitter, in mid pack or at the back.

Sure, we've seen some chaos from time to time but as I've said before, very little of it intentional. Maybe the new format will encourage more drivers to practice caution rather than desperately scramble to close the significant gap like we used to have to do.
 
I just ruined my SR because of a slow and annoying driver in race B repeatedly moving side to side to not let me pass (the long straight in the tunnel). In 2-3 races I went from AS to AB.
What can I do to stop my urge to get revenge? I also keep seeing him race after race.
