lobby races for next weeks raceC are being topped by the 919 no stopping,good racing tbf

how is that even possible? I guess if you're running fuel map 5+ it'll work. I can't get 5 laps from a tank using Map 4 or less. Nor do I want to. Fuel saver races are stupid. I'll die on this hill lol

I know it's tempting man, but that's how you do end up truly stuck there.

mainly just short shifting and a bit of map 2 through the slow stuff for me

It's getting even worse! Some idiot tried to pass me going into the chicane. I made him pay, although it was already game over for me.

 

[TechnoIsLove]

Just when PD piss me off to the point of almost quitting, they give me some good karma! Shame it's not on the main account but considering how crap the penalty system is, I'll take it! 🤣

wtf lolol
all dude had to do was wait a hot second for you to serve your penalty and he had the spot free and clear.

You don't typically find that kind of common sense at SR C

If race A for next week actually ends up being any tires, the Mini glitches the pp system by a lot. I haven't glitched the engine swapped one yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible.

 

[Grayfox]

Did a quick spin of Daily Race A.
Man, its a free for all.
Idiots who dont know how the brake pedal works.
Guess its cause SR/DR is not effected,

well you lift off at the first chicane, it's a full throttle corner so thats why he is fast but the way he tried to pass, putting you to the wall is ugly

That Viper looks familiar - see post 11912 above!

I didn't notice, oops. I will remove as it doesn't feel fair.

Must have been some history between those two....

Jumped in race B on my alt to see how is "Sport Mode" right now... Waste of time... No sport, no racing, no penalties for dirty drivers, penalties for being pushed to the wall... Ahhhh I hate this game right now, thanks PD
Edit: didnt mentioned that after 3 races I dropped from A/S to B/C

Seems a bit harsh that as C drivers we are all SR S but yet to fill out the lobby get put with B drivers in SR C.

Priority should be SR in my opinion.

When I'm matched with people who have very close SR to mine, I think it's because I tend to move to that SR they have (lower or higher). Not because there aren't enough players with the same SR.

But here.....all C SR with faster QT placed in the same lobby as S SR, it's just nonsensical trouble. A difference of not 1, not 2, but 3 levels.
I need a serious explanation for this because it doesn't make sense to me, other than trying to ruin S players level and race.

 

[vprkl]

Yeah I'm at B/S and half the daily races now are with B/C-D, it's a very tangible difference in how those races play out too compared to S. I guess there's not enough SR S players in the pool to draw from at this DR for some reason, when i was at D/S the lobbies were all D/S too.

I think it's a problem that PD create themselves. The weird penalty system sends players down in SR so quickly. Two or three races with reckless drivers on a track with a crazy chicane where you can get three wall penalties on a single incident do that easily.

Yep, story of my life. It all happened this week. I can't be happy in AS for more than a day. I have to be sent to BB.

He knew he was going to get murdered because the guy was waiting up, he should've avoided the first attack as well like he did with the others.

Haha it’s lap 1 aswell. Honestly some people need to understand the basics of racing and overtaking been allowed online. As someone said above you had a 5 seconds penalty so they would have taken the position of you anyway

well you lift off at the first chicane, it's a full throttle corner so thats why he is fast but the way he tried to pass, putting you to the wall is ugly

I agree that the first part is flat out and the Lambo had the run, but any sensible person there would have backed out of an overtake especially when the car in front has a time penalty to serve in the next corner.


I’ve noticed the racing lately has started to get dirtier again. When they introduced those harsh damage penalties the racing I thought had actually clean up a bit as people were avoiding picking up damage.
Im seeing lots of people now with SR A,B & C in races, which makes me think have PD changed the SR system? Are people now getting correctly placed in the SR?

 

[Leon Kowalski]

I had it happen twice so far. The second time I grinded a lot of CRBs running races behind the pack just to build some cushion on my SR rating. Of course I lost a lot of DR points, my DR was a low B afterwards. But it was easier to get good enough results to climb back to DR A than it is to maintain a good SR rating.
Downside is that since climbing back to DR A again I haven't done a single daily race on my main account because I can't stand the bull**** you are describing.

 

[Rossell2]

One of my better races recently. A cracking battle with the black 911 all race long, if you can see this, cheers for that well played.

While I'm here and we're talking SR ratings and stuff, if you lads or ladies ever meet me on a lobby and I barrel into you, that's because I'm an idiot, not using you as my brakes. I enjoy racing clean.

These kinds of observations seem to be a lot more frequent these days. I think I’m done racing this week (and probably next) because the penalty system is actually punishing the clean drivers and benefitting the dirty ones. It’s INSANE that the penalties are still this bad. PD is more worried about a few wall riders than they are a whole generation of bad sports/dirty drivers. It irks me so much because it could be easily solved if they ever cared to try.

I’m in a transition phase where I’m consistently A/S now, which is hard enough. But the other night I got stuck in a lobby with A+ drivers but also A/A drivers who were the absolute worst at flaunting the lack of penalties for their horrible antics. Last night I was stuck with more A/A and B/B drivers, which was even more chaotic and just plain ****ty.

Add to that the fact that Race B takes 7 minutes, and then I have to wait ten minutes for the next one, and they’ve pretty much made it a lock that I won’t even bother with any more races. What’s the point? They aren’t competitive in any way that actually “simulates” a real race. It feels more like a dodge ball tournament. I had fun doing quali laps, but that’s it for me.

Be better, PD. Seriously. I can’t wait to see the new update: five new cars and no fixes to anything that anyone actually wants.

How do you like it?

 

[TechnoIsLove]

Starting to think my main account is cursed. If it's not dirty drivers, then it's PD screwing me over 😂 But then on my 2nd account, I tend to have some fun racing...

I just had a race which is the rarest of all - a clean, close and fun race for the win from start to finish! Ended up getting P2 just a car length or 2 behind but it was close all race, giving each other space and respect in the corners, etc.

Wish all races were like this! 4 races on 2nd account and 4 great events 🙂

Hard to argue with this really, and it's sad to read. I would say that apart from the handful of stupid moves and things I've seen, a couple I've posted on here, Race C has been overall pretty positive in terms of the racing standards and it's a solid track to put 10 laps into for me, I quite enjoy it.. even in the tanker ship Gr 4's.

Tuen 1 is dangerous of course, but these things happen in real life too, after that it does settle down and I've had some good, fair battles. You have to put some trust in other players as there are 2 very clear divebomb ready turns and I would say most of the time getting through unscathed has been fine.

It just needs so much more added overall; more races, more frequent cycling of races, better penalty system, just some bloody love and attention would go a long way.

Nice!

What are your ratings on your second account, and how were the lobbies ratings-wise?

I've always had the cleanest races with a medium-to-high DR B rating and lobbies exclusively consisting of B/S players.
