You could try my approach: start dead last as an A driver in an A+ lobby, get spun out by someone who goofed on turn 1 and then finish dead last, nearly getting lapped by the leader. It’s hard to be proud of that too! Several times, for that matter!
Actually: yes. Myself included.🤪
I got one, I very rarely get them too.
I get maybe 4 good races to 1 chaotic. Top of d rating and in top 5 most races so can be expected I avoid trouble
It aggravates me that they enforce the penalty at the fastest part of a track. It ends out being much more than a half second penalty because of all the lost momentum. They should enforce the penalty in a slower part of the circuit, or just apply it at the end of the race. Right now, with so few penalties applied in the first place, they’re really making them hurt for minor infractions. As with their entire penalty system, it all seems backwards.
I hadn't even thought of it that way. Man, I wish someone from PD would act like they care what we think. We're the ones paying their salaries, by buying their game. Why can't they understand that all we want is to improve the game? I'd rather they fix the irritating things than give us new cars or tracks.
This is not my experience at all in Asian top lobbies. I’ve been having some great racing in C with A and A+ drivers. No pushing or punting, plenty of side by side action and the occasional costly mistake. There have been a few aggressive peanuts and one very dirty driver, but they are in the minority by far.
I can't wait for this week to end. I already hate the Alfa (and most 4wd), and because of it I'm also starting to hate Fuji. I still can't seem to find the best racing line to get anywhere near 1:42. Again, I hate how the Alfa turns, especially in the two 90 degrees corners. I'm always very cautious there because of the corner cutting penalty, and as people already said, even that 0.5s penalty can ruin your entire race since the penalty area is placed on one of the longest straights (Fuji is famous for it) and it is NOT just 0.5s....In the end, with the momentum and everything, it's more like 1.5 or 2s.
It depends on who gets the penalty. When you get a penalty, it's a stupid place to serve your time. When it's one of your competitors, it's pretty awesome.
Oh, just wait until tomorrow, when the B race changes to Gr.3 at Seaside. So many people will get blasted into the wall at the chicane of death.
Lots of race quitters because of that little section.
I'm enjoying Fuji at the moment, but could do without getting punted in a scrum on lap 1 or 2. Those days when I can drive mid-day (USA Mountain time) I've found the respect and care from the other racers is better than late afternoon/early evening. My times are slower than yours by a couple of seconds, which does put me in a different group. For my skill and driving style I find working on being smooth to work well in making up a few places during the race.
This race has been great to me this week, I always did like Fuji and have countless hours/laps on that track over the years. I started the week as a low B/S and am now within one or two decent races of making DR A. Most of the races I have been in this week were predominantly A and A+ races and I usually started somewhere around 6th with a 42.902 quali, when I do get in a B race, I start first to third. I've had very few incidents of dirty driving this week, and the ones I do have are usually on the last lap where they will do anything to gain a position.
What annoys me about this is they randomly give us a race that lasts a good amount of time before suddenly going back to tiny sprints.
Hi hardvibes. I am 2 3rds along the B rating and have a similar Q time as you. Some thoughts from this week.
I did jump into the livery editor but just for a few seconds. I am running this livery on both of my accounts, so all I did was add numbers to the c-panel (#16 & #67 respectfully) and changed the rear view mirror color on one of them. I wanted the cars to look like they were teammates and those are two things that teams often do to differentiate their two cars.
