But in real life racing is about whoever tunes best wins. Not only race craft. You don’t see on tv but there are a lot of small details in winning and they do add up. Which is great. I’m happy that this part of GT is back and it has so much more variety than before and it looks like it’s working.
We've been patient since 2017 🧐
Sure but that's generally the job of a team, the driver isn't expected to be putting together setups. Most people jumping on to race aren't engineers or even wannabe engineers.
When I first started doing Time Trials with my car I was thinking is just about driving well now I know what a good alignment looks like, what spring rates are what a shock does, what is an air filter etc. Still not to the point to start changing parts on my own but slowly getting there. And I imagine anyone starting in racing with cheap old FF cars to be at least technical enough to change your own oil (thankfully we have the guys in GT Auto for that). And I'm happy that this game very realistically represent the financial pain of building your own car. I would have loved if there is a list of this parts and how much credits you have put in a car tunning like the ****ing Mini but still it's realistic enough. I still don't get why everyone is complaining about PP based Daily races but not complaining about all the imaginary Gr. 3 and Gr. 4 cars like the VW Beetle Gr. 3. For anyone who watch at least some endurance racing this is a joke.
From the PD announcements, that's supposed to be updated. Maybe before the proper Daily Races start on March 14?
Having just done my first Daily Race A, it also appears that this format results in the race being totally pointless unless you’re in the fastest car. At least at High Speed Ring, only the Aqua is competitive. I just got beat by D-rated players who were sliding and battling the entire time yet finished 6 seconds in front of my Mazda in third place. If these cars were BoP’d they would obviously have different power numbers. I suppose I’ll buy an Aqua to see how the same amount of power results in so much more speed lol.
I’m thinking perhaps user builds would have to be aesthetic only. The BoP could simply override parts and tuning with a standardized BoP. Takes the “fun” out of it but also prevents a B rated driver from getting beat by a D and losing DR simply because they chose the wrong car. If variety of useable cars is what we’re after then not using BoP is a bad strategy imo.
Well is was a lobby of Sciroccos last night & tonight it’s a lobby of 911’s.
