LOL. Good racing with you. Were you driving the Mustang? I can't remember where I saw a leader driving it, but it's my favorite care on this track now.

LOL!

That's an interesting strategy. I kind of had that strategy forced on me, this morning. I started out P3, and immediately got knocked to P14. I kept racing, since I wasn't that far from the front, time-wise, and ended up P2. So I may try that strategy intentionally.

I'm getting my best times in the Mustang, believe it or not. I prefer the quicker braking of the Supra, but like I said, my best times are with the Mustang. It's kind of funny at the start, because I usually pass at least one car before we even get to T1.

Using my second player, I'm seeing my C rating increase, and it could possibly get to B before the week is out. Time will tell. My primary player had its SR drop from S to B, so that's the end of using it this week.

what's your second account name? I've been looking for Grumpy but haven't seen him :D
 
Another win at Monza tonight, plus a clean race bonus. Fantastic battle with a Supra who finished 0.3 seconds behind me. He got past me at the first chicane, I got him back at the final chicane a lap later, both leaving each other loads of space.
I’m a bit worried I’ll end up with an A DR at this rate, which will be absolutely disastrous for me at the tracks I stink at. Like all the others except Monza.
 
I'll preface this by saying that I should know better than to type words that could end up being "famous last words", but what the heck. Here goes. Oh, and this is all on daily race b.

So as I mentioned, I've been playing my second account, whose name is SloMo in case you wondered. I started a low C, and I had 3 races in a row where I didn't make it out alive. In fact, in one race on T1 of Lap 1, I got banged by so many cars I needed a cigarette! But the cool thing about using my second account is, who cares? I just kept running Qualifying, and slowly improving my times in the Mustang.

But since then, I've been tearing up the C lobbies (knock on wood). Not necessarily something to brag about, but then again... I'm bragging. :) I usually start anywhere from P2 to P4. The Mustang is faster than most cars at the start, so I can usually pass the guy in front of me on T1. And if I don't pass him, hopefully I'm far enough ahead of the guy behind me to avoid being smashed. Fingers crossed. I seem to have gotten pretty good at the second chicane (not great, but better than the other drivers), and have been squeezing by the car in front of me if I there is one.

After that, I run well enough so nobody catches me (again, knock on wood). Which is interesting because there are 1-3 other players with faster Q times, but they either can't bring it to the track, or they crash.

The point being this: I'm close to going from C to B. Once I get in the B lobbies, if I don't improve my QT enough, I'm sure I'll get trounced back down to C. But again, who cares?

For the first time this week I tried two B races, and in both I received enough penalties to make me go from S to A. All because of corner #1. Trapped in the pack. Classic. Guess I'll stick to race A now.

I don't blame you. On my primary account, I went from S to B, because I wasn't smart enough to switch to my secondary account quick enough.

I miss last week's Autopolis.

Amen to that!

As I said above, it's SloMo. But with your rating, you may not see me this week. Time will tell.

Is the rating also affected by how much I take part in the dailies,like if I don't get on but once a month because Im on the road, would my DR and SR stay the same... because I've been in D/C lobbies pretty much the whole time....and my SR has never dropped below S ..... guess I'm pretty clean and finish usually in the bottom half unless I get a good Qualifying spot

SR/DR is only impacted by your race results. So no matter if you race 800 times a month or 8 times a year, 1 race will still be worth the same amount of change.

In that sense, somebody that races more will see more of a change to their rank. But that's only because they do more races, not because each race is worth different amounts.

DR and SR are only effected by where you finish and how you behave in the race. How often you race doesn't effect this.

I also think it maybe an advantage I'm more fresh racing vs someone who races 7 days a week with the same car....of course it takes me a few races to get into a groove to be competitive...and also figure out which cars work for my driving style, not necessarily the cars that are OP on the leaderboards
 
Race A has been a blast. Tried the NSX for a while, it was fun but couldn't compete with the caymans, so I jumped shipped and bought one.

Shaved over 2.5 seconds off the lap time by making the switch. Is there any good places to look up tuning suggestions?

Man Monza is about as toxic as you can get. Started today and dudes were ramming even before getting to the chicane knowing it didn't matter. PD should just remove this one from the rotation.

Honestly most of it is idiots who don't know their brake spot in a tow. Man it's annoying....brake ffs.
 
So, the day of Monza ends with mixed results. I was a hair from my second account moving up to DR B, but a couple of races of bad driving on my part cost me. Especially because that was followed by a whole ton of crash-a-thon races, which at one point dropped me to SR D. But I'm back on track, and going to bed.

I'm nothing special for Race A this week, around 100th worldwide

"Nothing special". I'm trying to compose a response to that, but I can't do it without swearing. :lol:
 
The BoP for race B is surprisingly less bad than I expected. Almost the entire leaderboard and 15 cars in each race are usually the Supra but other cars can keep close to them if you start towards the front. I had good fun with the 911 last night, it can even pass on the straight if the Toyota's don't know about the short shifting.
 
I've got the feeling that Supra is just more drivable for the less experts (I'm the master of the less experts...).
Good drivers can keep the pace with other cars too
 
Yeah Daily Race A can be easy if you have a good tune for the grippy Cayman GT4 and feel comfortable driving it (well I am usually decent with the sports cars). So far I have 3 wins and 1 P3 (and that one I should have been P2, possibly fighting chance for P1, but I got punted into t1 lap 2 which cost me 3-4 secs). Quali time is a 1.51.751. Seems like not too many aliens do that race, so I usually start on pole and drive away, occassionally there are drivers who can give me a challenge.

Did one daily race B, but definitely lacking a bit of pace. Started from P10 with a high 1.57.5 lap. P9 in the race and had to defend a lot on last lap to finish there. 13 sec from the winner and 3 sec from P8. Wasn't that chaotic, guess I was lucky lol. Race pace is not there for me in that one, I was using the Supra concept.

Oh that is beautiful!

Given up on Monza this week. Just too many idiots going 100% and not know when and where to back out. I have had some decent races but seems to be every 1 in 4.
Hopefully next week we get another banger of a Gr3 race like Trial Mountain. I’d like to see a St Croix race with high fuel wear and two mandatory tyres.
 
Question about DR: When you start in pole position, do you actually gain any DR points if you win? It looks like you do, but how is it calculated?

I'm still loving the Mustang.

Certainly, sir. I'll go fire up my console. I'll get it to you in the next 10 minutes, or so. 👍

Do a search as it's been explained in detail more than a couple of times.

Your DR is effected by your finishing position relative to others and their respective DR. That's it; nothing more. It doesn't matter where you start, how many people you pass, etc. Think of it as you're taking DR from everyone who finishes behind you and losing it to everyone who finishes ahead of you. Their DR comes into play as the bigger the delta (difference) between yours and theirs, the bigger the transfer. Meaning, you could finish P2 and lose DR.

A quick example: You're an A+ rated driver in a lobby with all D rated drivers. You finish the race in 2nd. The D rated driver ahead will take more DR from you than you will from all the remaining 14 D rated drivers behind because of how big the gap is between you and them, respectfully.

There is a lot more to the algorithm than that (and I'd be lying if I said I fully understood it all), but the above is the basic, Cliff's Notes version.

The most annoying thing, is PD mixing lobbies with the same Driver rating but with very diffferent SR.
Maybe shortage of players?

After a 3rd consecutive race, asked politely to some guy (he was DR=A SR= B) to stop sending it in T1 ("please, can you stop divebombing us all in T1?"), he just answered "Cool story, NERD" and keep going rocket launching his Ford GT against everybody...

After starting a new account on the americas I’ve had to race with all sorts of people with mix SR and I have to say its brutal at times. For me getting past these bad drivers hasn’t been too much or a problem but if your new to racing games I can see people been stuck in these lobbies for a while. I was looking at a few of the drivers who have SR ratings C and lower and some of theses drivers have done anywhere between 50-100 races maybe even more. I know some drivers get an SR reset but the majority that permanently stay in the low SR ranks have the wrong attitude to racing. As for that above who replied with “cool story, nerd” will never reach SR S with that attitude.

The one I don’t understand is when your close to moving up a DR rank you get paired with bad SR rank players from the DR above.

I'm a DR middle C, SR top.
I don't like my SR rating.... I'm not a dirty drivers and I don't do contact on purpose, but I'm not good enough to constantly avoid errors. Actually most of the times my errors hurt just me, but it's not always the case.
I think I deserve to float a bit between the SR top and the SR top-1, but my SR never changed.

For time to time I think I should do a carnage on purpose, just to undestand where the limit lies, becouse I really don't understand what someone should do to be a SR C or B driver.
But I'm not brave enough and keep my rating
