It is probably the DR in play rather than QT. That first race, if you did well, you added bunch of points to your DR. Next race you get placed with higher DR drivers that, most likely, have better QT times.
For race C I had a good QT. When my DR was low, I was always old pole. But as my DR improved, I was started at P2, P3, P4…

A humble request from a Grumpy Old Man: @Famine (or whoever), can you guys start a separate thread on DR gains, and pin it? Then if anyone wants to learn about it, or argue about it, they can do it there, and not in this thread. I'm Grumpy, and I'm getting tired of people rehashing the same thing over and over again.
I realize this is ironic (or whatever word is appropriate) because it was only weeks ago that I was the one learning, but if there had been a pinned thread on the subject, I could have just gone there to learn.
Just a request.

I know we're all focused on the new races now, but I finished last week off with about as perfect a Race C as I could expect with the competition I was up against. I started 5th and ended 4th as I mentioned above. I has managed to gain P2 on the first lap but under pressure from P3 I made a small braking mistake at hairpin to let them slip by (MuffinMan went on to win) dropping to 3rd. I was then under pressure again throughout the remainder of lap 2 and 3 until they out braked me into the Casio complex (they must have had better brakes or geared down that much faster for how they were able to dive inside and control - quite impressive in replay) and after that I stayed P4.
I alluded that my car (SX180) was pretty strong. Off the line I would usually out accelerate others, I tuned it for low/mid down grunt, and it mostly held it own in the curves though the Sileighties definitely appeared to have better grip and top end speed. Where it was weak was the brakes. Standard brakes with racing pads. I thought that was an okay trade as there is not much braking in Suzuka, but where there was, was where I tended to get passed in the races I lost spots (not many occurrences as most lost spots where through messing up). I worked it through finding many tunes on the net for the SX180 and then worked it from there to work with my style. It evolved through the week. I never could quite figure out the suspension/LSD to improve that for better cornering grip but what I ended up with worked well enough for me. The critical tuning was the gearbox. I tuned it so that it would max out gear five on the fastest point but that 1, 2 and 3 were pretty close with 4 closer to 3 than 5. 3 was tuned to stay in the torque zone on the S curves and 2 to give a usable pull out of the hairpin. Anyway this was my final tune for that last race. Got to say, entering the week knowing nothing about tuning, this proved to be great fun!
It was too late for this car as you can't uncharge it but next time I would probably skip the body rigidity and see if that left enough PP for at least sports brakes...
Anyway on to this weeks races!

Race A is a one make (usually with road cars) so it's only that car.
Was the best race of the three back in GT Sport but a month or two after 7 came out they got rid of DR/SR Updates for it, which killed off half of its playerbase and made it pointless to race.
To this day I think it's the worst decision they ever made with GT7.
I'm aware you might have been joking but I'm always up for a moan about Daily A!

We did an entire article on it, almost exactly five years ago. It's for GT Sport (and A+ now goes up to 100,000), but it's no less true now:
Unravelling the Mysteries of GT Sport's Driver Rating System (and How To Improve Yours)
Whether you're new to GT Sport or you've been playing it a while, you'll likely be aware of the Driver Rating (DR) system. It's a scoring system the game uses to rank drivers according to ability. DR is a significant part of GT Sport's esports focus; you'll see your own DR score in the top-right

It depends.
For the PP or power-restricted tuning events, no DR/SR change makes sense, to encourage people to drive the cars they enjoy instead of the meta pick. (which doesn't stop people from doing it anyway, but you know...
)For the BoP one-makes, I completely agree. There's no reason for those events not to update your DR and SR.

I've already got a time for Daily Race A in the top 700! That's fantastic, but then again, it's only Monday. I did a race with that time and had a clean Q2/P2, but for a bit, I was down in P4, eventually barely getting P2 back after the last turn of the last lap. P3 was definitely less than a tenth behind me.
EDIT: And the icing on top was that after that close race, I got a six-star engine ticket! Granted, I won a second LS9, and AFAIK only that Firebird Trans-Am is compatible, but that second LS9 could easily come in handy if/when PD makes more cars compatible with it.

I don't have the opportunity to do the Daily races much as I'm focusing on the Manufacturers Cup and trying to get lap times on the "new" tracks with the Lexus (wanted NA cars). Is there a separate Manufacturers Cup thread? I couldn't find it.
I'll try to get myself into the Gr.3 or Gr.4 Daily races tonight. Will need practice. Does anyone set up a race in the online section just to practice, or is the BoP adjustment hard to replicate there for any good practice running? Be fun to practice with other GTP racers.

GrumpyOldMan: "Get Off Mah Lawn!

I don't do a lot A races and found last weeks with the Mono very frustrating.
With the Grid start I tried 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears all with and without TC to start the race
and no matter what I did I'd lose 2 to 3 positions before I got to the first turn.
So I guess my question is, what was the best way out of the hole with that car?

Not sure I had the "best" starts but I don't recall getting passed on the start. I would start with TCS 1 and around 2/3rd throttle; I would keep it in TCS 1 throughout the race. On green, as the throttle dumps I would ease off momentarily to say 40% then as the tires bite, then linearly increase to max within about a second or so. Also very rapid upshifting with a bit of short shifting in 4th and 5th to hit 6th by T1. Sometimes, depending on position, I might not hit 6th in first turn and then kept it redlined in 5th down to the left hander with rapid downshifting which I would take in 3rd. I'd only drop to 2nd, if there was traffic in front and I was not in P1.
At least that is how I think it worked out for me.

Since the addition of un-ranked Race A, that one week of upgraded credits rewards made me realise the ideal scenario is to keep No DR/SR but make it worth your while via credits payouts.
I'd still prefer both but that's never gonna happen.

I know we're all excited but what is this attempt at a pass, man, come on.
I was going a bit slow as had just had a wheel off but this was just bonkers to me, am I wrong?
At least he hit the brakes and gave up on it. He had another wild go at turn 2 but ended up off into the sand.

I mean, from his perspective the gap was there and you squeezed it as soon as he put his nose in. You admit going slightly slower and he cant go round the outside on that corner without ending up in the sand. Not sure what was expected by either party. It's a weird corner

Have no idea why people do it in a fuel saving race...separates the men from the boys in how the actual race needs to be run.

ran some quali sessions for both circuits. Decided I really wasn't interested in Big Willow. GL to the drivers who head there this week.
Ran two Race B from the back. Finished around 9th each time due to attrition and me being slow AF.
Set a time of 1:35 or something like that and started mid pack. Finished mid pack too. Carnage behind me, lots of being spun or almost spun at the hair pin and at T1, too slow to hang with the top drivers in my lobby. Will probably set a better time later this week but I'm kinda meh.
I didn't think Le Mans could have a two week let down but oof kinda feels like it does lol

I have started gardening leave as I transition to a new role.
Managed to place top 500 for all of the dailies.
Did some races on B and it was great, my down fall being me pushing hard.
Once all the proper times start to come in and I'm better filtered to where I'm realistically at I'm gonna have a good week or B or C. Qualy pays dividends. Yes starting position but more importantly you get track experience that is worth more than its weight in gold for me.
Edit: to add I don't use the control aids (TC, ASM or CS) abs to weak. Would have ABS off if it wasn't so grabby set to none.
