The A rated lobbies are a disgrace in race B.

Competitive all the way through the pack, which is good, but it's clear the guys that have wheels are pretty much easily dominating this race. There's something about cambered races, like deep forest & Lago Maggiore that's a nightmare for controller users.

Some of the races I've had were absolutely horrific. Races that were going well (maybe I'd gained 2 or 3 spots) but then someone either punts me from behind, or lunges & forces me into the wall in the tunnel, or waits for me to lap them so they can crash me off

This stuff is brutal, because often in the one getting the penalty , & I genuinely cannot believe it's happening.

I know full well when I've done something penalty worthy (like if I outbrake myself into T1 and have to go up the inside to avoid running in the back of someone or something).

But too many situations where I'm blatantly the one being punted, & yet I come away with a penalty.

For instance, a guy barged me out of the way in T1 (no penalty)...I managed to follow him to the back straight & got a great run on him going into the tunnel, so he sideswiped me and pushed me into the wall... He then bounces off my car into the other wall & who gets the 5 second penalty? Of course it's me

This type of bull**** is making me flat out rage quit so many races this week that it's absolutely tanking all the progress I make on my rank

The penalty system right now is worse than I ever remember it being in GT Sport, & I had that from release also. They're just throwing out penalties for almost anything

Hell, if I outbrake myself into T1... & SLIGHTLY bump someone so they run wide but clearly stay in track... & Then I slow down to allow them to regain the position going up the hill out of T1... 99% of the time I get a 2 second penalty. It's ****** ridiculous.
Accidental contact that barely does any harm, & you give them the position back, should not suddenly ruin your race (because the penalty zone is in the absolute worst area for ruining your race, when everyone is at full speed)
 
Apologies if it's already been covered somewhere in this thread, but how are people doing Race C (Spa 8 laps) in the RCZ without making a pitstop?

I did it with the Lexus, alernating between FM2 and FM3, drafting cars, shift before the rev bar shows, coast into corners, stay in higher gears. It's pretty boring, going almost 4 sec per lap slower. But still faster overall than the long pit stop.
 
Only really fancied Race B this week, sadly haven't found it that enjoyable to be honest. My quali time is pretty crap for my rating, i try to aim to be under 2 secs from top time but i can't even get into the 1.27's.....i haven't been punted or noticed much dirty driving, but there wasn't much passing from what i remember. Finishing 11th/12th kinda most of the time get's a bit boring tbh......it's all on me though, i maybe just need to get a bit better at quali or the game in general
 
I don’t think Race B is that dirty but it’s track where it’s incredibly easy to have contact with inviting corners. T1 and the hairpin you’re almost guaranteed to be able to overtake if you get an inside line but you have to park it on the apex (literally at the hairpin) and it causes a bottleneck and then you have 5 cars with no space.
This track doesn’t suit a 5 lap gr3 sprint. Could work as a race c or with road cars.

Precisely, one of the best tracks in the game for road cars/sports cars 🏁

My point about no-stoppers is that they are the antithesis of everything I just said... There is no joy racing no-stoppers because they have effectively chosen the non-racing strategy, the easy mode strategy that is less vulnerable to mistakes (easier to make mistakes when you're on the limit obviously).

I find no stoppers to be a bit anti climatic to my driving style as well in my opinion, but punting drivers who follow said strategy is highly uncalled for and basically means sportsmanship is non-existent. If this thread were a real motorsport council, your license would be revoked immediately via unanimous vote, and would possibly have a restraining order against many race tracks with that mentality.

On a quick side note, I've been doing nothing but Race B this week. Deep Forest and Group 3 feels crowded, but I'm quite enjoying it with the Ford GT.

Ignore him. He‘s in another thread complaining he got banned for sending dirty drivers abusive psn messages while he’s here gloating about punting people off. I don’t like the fact that Race C is now a no stop only race; we need more options like we had at Daytona but it’s a hate the game not the player situation. Race B is hit and miss, I enjoy it but it‘s very easy to have one mistake by you or someone else to completely ruin the race, and the penalties are a bit off as well.

Maybe that's the way you took it idk, I was just pointing out some of the reasons why people do dirty things, & one of mine.
It's a game, therefore there are no moral or legal obligations... I can do whatever I want within the framework the developers set.

I only get on a few times a week, & that's mainly to mess around in online lobbies (non sport mode) & then do some sport mode/fia.

I only woke up recently, had a quick browse & saw the inevitable salty replies that this forum always has to this type of stuff. It's never changed on here, people think they're holyer than thou

I think you completely misread or misunderstood it tbh.

They were two different points.

What I meant was, having races where you are basically flawless, maybe trading fastest laps with another guy within half a second of you (on the track obviously) & having great overtakes, or equally great (non-dirty) defenses that keep q guy behind while you get your eye in so to speak .. all of that is good race craft.

I'm almost positive if you're anywhere near an A+/S driver in this game you've had races that just were so much fun, full of fantastic overtakes from dummies, or setting a guy up going into the corner for the drive off the exit, or just races where you constantly have to defend from a guy that's slightly faster but can't get the move done.

Those are all situations which make for GREAT, fun races & don't involve anything dirty.

My point about no-stoppers is that they are the antithesis of everything I just said... There is no joy racing no-stoppers because they have effectively chosen the non-racing strategy, the easy mode strategy that is less vulnerable to mistakes (easier to make mistakes when you're on the limit obviously).

And for me, it justifies & will continue to justify getting dirty with them. I don't care how it sounds, & I don't really care what you think about it. I wouldn't have gotten to 60-65K driver score at A+/S constantly racing in the top split lobbies if I was "totally clueless".

The truth is as per usual with these forums, you don't like when someone openly admits they'll be dirty towards a strategy that you as an individual use. Morally I don't agree with no-stopping, it is weak & so it justifies my wrecking them to ruin their strategy.

I can take the hit to DR/SR because I know in fast enough to get back to the top quickly. Maybe if no stoppers were adjusted to reduce their effectiveness slightly so that they weren't the Meta strategy I wouldn't have a problem with it ... But there's something fundamentally wrong when the Meta strategy is the least racey, most boring & least fun to use & race against.

Don't bother replying, I'm done on here for today, can't stick around answering salty responses all the time.

This is utter rubbish. Some of the most intriguing races I’ve done have been in situations where fuel saving no-stoppers create enormous strategy and tension requiring supreme race craft.

The idea that it’s ok to drive dirty against people just because they race smarter than you is ridiculous. Do you also punt people who are driving cars that are better in the handling sections but not as quick in a straight line? It’s the same logic.

Toxic masculinity anyone?

sorry,forgot to recharge my sarcasm detector:boggled:

It was not a sarcasm!
If the offender gets more penalty time, good! The offended should never get more or the same penalty.
So **** simple.

Just ignore mate, please.

Yesterday, I only have made two races, one at Daily A and the other at Daily C.

Daily A (didn't set a qual time yet). Funny race tho, from last to 7th. I supposed I was lucky with the room.

Daily C, would need at least one more lap IMHO.
Anyways, starting from 4th with the Viper, finished 3rd, behind P1 Z4 and P2 RZC and in front of another 8 RCZ.
The others, if my memory is fine, were an AMG, Mazda Vision, AM, Beetle, Subaru mix.

Incredibly note, it was my first Daily C race without no-stoppers strategy. Amazing.


Sorry for doubling

Why so agressive,all good with you?I think you did not understand my original post but nevermind…
 
Well, all the races I've done in SPA so far have not been decided because someone made a 0 stop and I made 1 stop, but because I made mistakes or someone blocked or shot me. And the driver(s) in front of me who didn't have a stop drove faultlessly at a good speed.

And of course I have nothing against drivers who drive 0 stops, why should they... but unfortunately they sometimes get in the way in Spa, for example in the Eau Rouge. If you are faster but there is no line past it, then unfortunately it costs a lot of time.

You doing any race B? I’m back near DR B now so may see you.
Two races in a row disconnects. SR and DR hit bad.

Did one Spa race this morning in the Corvette, DR ranged from A+ to C in the lobby. I did a no stop starting on FM6 and working up to FM3 for the last lap. Finished 3rd, 35 seconds being the winning RCZ 😂. A 911 ran me down 10 seconds in the last two laps and finished right on my bumper.
 
Please. How do I upload clips. I want you all to see what I deal with in B/B. I’m so close to uninstalling



What did I do to deserve this penalty

The mechanics of the penalty system clear as day here. You touched the rear of a car that then, from what I could tell of the video, went on to leave the track/hit the barrier (whether they did so on purpose or not) while you continued on-track and gained a place.
Click to expand...
So then bouncing off the barriers like a damn pinball has no affect at all? Just me slamming on brakes and still hitting them? It’s all my fault. Total ********
 
how about this one, i did not even notice a contact while overtaking and player could go on just fine….2 seconds for me lol.

But even if its sometimes between ridiculous and annoying,many times it works just fine and it‘s good to have it.

hello good, could someone tell me where I can look at the times of the daily races, is there an app or a page to be able to look at it?

At this point, I don't think there is any resource to view qualifying rankings.
PD/Sony don't want us have that information, apparently. :indiff:
 
I have enjoyed Race B far more this week than last week. Dragon Trail - Gardens was horrible, maybe I just don't like the track but there was so much ramming and punting. Deep Forest has been cleaner and more enjoyable.

Must be great to come up with your own rules about who finishes a race first and then hand out your personal penalties to those that are able to come up with a better strategy than you. You have no moral.

Please help me to understand how to be a better driver. This happened two laps apart. I’m sure this is all my fault and I want to hear your explanation on this please

Unfortunate.

I would suggest when you know you're going to serve the penalty on this run into the hairpin that you pull in to the left hand side knowing there's going to be faster cars piling through there, and it gives you a shot at potentially defending your position still.

The collisions come because you've stopped ghosting as the other car arrives behind, while they could take action to move around you (you are right in the middle of the track however) they can't know at a quick glance when you're about to pop back into this dimension.

You have some responsibility here to not be a road block when you know you're going to be slowed down.

You’re right, I probably could have moved over and that’s probably what I will start doing now. Just seems crazy to me that something like this is possible and I get the penalty for it. I’ve seen so many penalty cars get ghosted all the way to the hairpin
