oh that, the GTR altercation at the first chicane?
100% his fault. he ran wide into the chicane, made him slow on exit, he then gave you no racing room as he was the slower car. he blatantly tried to run you off track. typical loser move. well played by you

I'm no expert, not at all, but I put the blame on you (in a kind and inoffensive way, of course). He was ahead of you and everyone on that turn gravitates to the curb, so in essence you pitted him. When there's a squabble ahead of you, you can't expect them to drive perfectly until the dust settles. OK, it's possible you weren't at fault, but if it were me, I would have held back a little. But then again, I suck, so there's that... If I were that guy, I'd have been miffed also, but considering my screen name, take it with a grain of salt. I certainly don't think you were malicious or dirty, though.

he "pitted" himself, he had plenty of room to the right but kept moving left. if he drove in a straight line he wouldn't have been spun.
Karma.

Gr4 sucks. Jesus Christ one race in and a total WRX/Alfa snooze fest.
Had more fun on one lap on the Mazdas last week.

B is such a fun combo but it being 4 laps takes the wind out your sails something fierce. You have an awesome few laps, and then oh - it's over and you're waiting 11 minutes for the next one.
Whose idea was that!? Barely any motivation to do the races when I'm waiting for longer than I'm driving. It just makes me want to play something else.

Maybe I’m odd, but to be honest it doesn’t really bother me THAT much. If it’s a good track, and good racing, I’m not too upset if there isn’t many different manufacturers. Obviously it would be much better if there were more competitive cars, but I’m not too upset about battling with cars of the same make….

I agree. Honestly the no brake bias control bothers me way more then a meta car. And giving brake bias back might help with the meta issue also.

I've done about 5 Daily B today and here's what I've figured out:
I have a B Drivers Rating and an S Safety Rating. I have been punted on Lap 1 in every race today with other B/S or B/A players. I have then been punted again on Lap 1 once we get to the chicane.
I have a LOT of SR I can burn and I'm about to. I am not fast enough to achieve an A Driver Rating, which means I have all the points from S down to B Safety Rating to burn in paybacks, preemptive punts because what's the point, and revenge punts for people who've hit me before.
Someone talk me off this ledge before I go on a rampage and forget what trigger the brake button is.......

You're right, I should just stop expecting clean racing at all driver rating levels and go back to boring single player, right?

Race C with my viper is this weekly activity, finally my 100s of money runs on that track will pay off.
I expect to hit the ceiling early but this track I can drive on the limit in my sleep so unlike other tracks this is where I can outlast other drivers.
And earn 78k instead of ten times that much when I grind money, thanks PD for not making sense.

3 more races, 3 more Lap 1 punts. Now I'm wondering if I'm the problem. Do I brake too early? Do I have "Please Punterino" written on the back of my car?

That is something, which in almost 1k Sport Mode races, I have never been called! I saw an opportunity and tried to take it. I could have chilled as GoM suggested, but I figured i would have ended up being crashed into by those coming in hot as we were all bunched up since it was just 3rd turn of the race.
I've been punted on purpose a 100 times and never resorted to it, ever!
It is indeed frustrating.
I try to watch very carefully:
- how many tenths of a second the next player is behind me
- if he is within 4/10 sec, try to make sure he is not straight behind me on the radar, also if this means sacrificing the race line or the defensive line
Good luck!

These two points are related. Maybe if the race was a little longer, people wouldn't be so desperate to get in front.
It's a shame. It really puts the onus on qualifying, and we all know that even though a driver is quick it doesn't mean they'll be clean.

I like your cars
Did 2 race B yesterday, both finished quite bad....
I tried to stay out of troubles, but troubles didn't stay out of me
In the first race with a Supra, started 10, reached 5 (not because of my skills) , and then someone used my as a additional brake. Last....
In the second race with a Beettle, started 11, reached 7 (not because of my skills), but and the final turn of lap 3, a guy went too deep, had some handling issue touching a bit the grass, recovered, and then, side by side on the straight, he forced my to crash into the wedge between the track and the pit. Last... no penality for him, clean race for me (PD please explain....) .
I didn't go to the replay to figure out if it was on purpose of if his car had a move just after coming back from the grass. I actually don't care.
All I know is that I was exactly in the middle on the track, so I did nothing wrong, even thought seeing what was happening to him I could have anticipated his troubles shifting more to the right
However....
I don't like Supra here. Too much understeer, and little bit more of a braking distance if I compare to the Beetle.
Probably someone good can squeeze out more from the Supra, but I feel the Beetle more foregiving here and more stick to the racing line.
The only bit of track where Supra handles better (at least in my hands) is the chicane of death.
Supra: just lift when the out curb before the left-right occours
Beetle: I need to brake a bit, lifting is not enough
I don't like it, touching the brake is more risky, but cannot avoid it

Starting Race C in a WRX vs the Alfa's who qualified behind you
Also not sure I'm fond of the barrier penalties in the CoD. Mess it up and get 1.5, this carries through to a bad exit and hitting the outside wall, 3 seconds (plus acceleration time at that part of the track) on top of what you lost from just hitting the barrier in the first place.
Its a bit harsh!

Is it possible to do Race C with some RWD car? Is any car good enough to compete with the boring 4WD? I tried couple of laps with the WRX last night just to feel the track, but it feels like slow motion, the Gr4 just doesn't suit the high speed track. Maybe to spice things up with some Viper or Vette or something?

Guys I need help to understand what happened to my DR.
Normally I'm AS but recently, with all the stupid crashers on Fuji and my thirst for vengeance, I've continually moved as follows:
AS>AA>AB>AA>AB>AA>AS>AA>AB
and then all of the sudden and for no particular reason, BB! Why B driver rating? Keep in mind that I didn't go as low as AC or even lower due to my temper. I went straight to BB. I didn't lose any significant amount of positions during Dragon Trail races and my QT is 1:37.880. I crashed into the chicane of death a couple of times giving me a 1.5 penalty but that's it.
Now I'm working my way up (I'm BA now), but I don't know what I have to do to have A DR again.
