Yeah it should have been 3 laps. But like let us not forget it is a long track, race distance is equivalent like 8 laps of Suzuka or so. So if you make the tire decision right with all them corners over a long lap and the others do not choose correct, it is easy pickings. But yeah imo dynamic weather not the best in Daily C, too few laps and long at that to allow a change of heart with switching tires..

Yeah the race will be about 20mins In total. The issue is have is the dynamic weather. If it’s anything like Le Mans and Spa pitting just seems a bit pointless, plus you only have 1 opportunity to pit aswell. Just seems a strange race.

Only way I can see this race been good is if we have a day/night cycle and cold weather. Cold weather will mean the track stays wet for longer which then forces the pit stop.

Did some American daily race c today. Not jumped on to my America account in a while. Was some good and strange racing today.
Good - had some good battles with a few drivers in multiple races alomg with a few good results.
Strange - the quality of racing. This was the biggest difference I’ve noticed between EU and Americas. They never seemed to be a balance between races. It was either pure chaos and then the next race it was clean and fair. Either way both race types of races were fun.

Did couple of race B, using ferrari first and switching to silvia later.
Silvia is much more agile in the s and less nervous on the kurbs, but I feel ferrari may be more performing in the hands of someone able to use it.

Overall funny races with mixed results, I enjoyed them

3 laps would be well over 25 minutes. Not that that's a bad thing, necessarily - just that 25 minutes is the usual target for C, and there's additional time needed between races (for the after-race lobby, the pre-race lobby, the race startup-time, etc.)

As much as I love Nurburgring Endurance as a circuit it just doesn't work for dailies I think. Most of your action is going to happen on lap 1 and the circuit is just too large to really have competitive racing on it. Give me a legit enduro tho and I'll reinstall the game :D

And that's assuming it doesn't rain... which it's supposed to. 25 min, three lap race around N24 is assuming 8:20/lap... so yea, there's a high probability that a three lap race with weather and a pit would take longer than the 30 minutes allotted.

I think two is good, just to see how it goes anyway.

The Manu race at Nord a few weeks back was fantastic. So much fun.

Have we ever had weather on a 14 mile track?

The point was it's going to be weak weather or chaos.

I mean did you find S -10 "fun"

We had a dynamic weather race on the Nords. I think Manufacturers cup. (2laps long)
It was fun.

You were saying weather would not be dynamic. Which is something we have not had as far as I remember.

That's true.

What I meant in the weather not being dynamic is that when we have had weather it uses a fixed wind speed and direction and follows a similar pattern. That's understandable though to level the playing field.

It will repeat the same patterns over the week.

It could be really fun or a wash out :) pun intended
 
As stated above, Race C will probably be 1% carnage at the start and 99% lonely driving so not quite interested.

Predictions for meta Gr4 at Deep Forest? I'm guessing/ hoping GT-R or AMG anything really as all I've been seeing is the Silvia, Ferrari and Lambo over the past weeks...

Not saying I mind driving the Silvia 🤣

 
Day of randomness for me yesterday. Did my second ever nations cup race in the afternoon (I can't do the Wednesday races only the Saturdays) and was really suprised at how incident and carnage free the race was considering it was SF23s round Deep Forest with fellow B/S drivers. People managing to avoid contact for the most part and pretty respectful.

In contrast I jumped in Race B for a few races last night and was subject to the worst behaviour at Road Atlanta I've seen since playing sport mode. Felt like nearly everyone was seeing the red mist, purposefully wrecking everyone and in some cases actively slowing down to initiate contact rather than trying to just pull away from the player behind them. On more than a few occasions people were making mistakes on there own, going off track then sideswiping people for having the nerve to pass them. Serving a penalty seemed to activate rage mode in people who decided to not break into the last breaking zone.

After about 5 races of this on the bounce it was nearly an Uninstall Game moment, but I decided to just chill and play Dirt Rally instead. I drove off a cliff as it happens...

I actually noticed some similar behavior. For me it was still raceable, as long as I didn't do something stupid, which for me is about a 50/50 proposition.
 
Anyone got any good shouts for the Nordschleife 24h next week? Want to practice a bit, that's going to be a hoot in wet weather.

They need to fix quali though (as in, lock in the weather/time of day) , a fixed rain qualifying would be neat for example.

Absolutely, I notice this a lot even in S lobbies. Yes, the drivers tend to avoid collisions in the first place, but they seem to exact vendettas the minute there's any contact. One little tap and suddenly both drivers are trying to end each others' lives.

Made a new livery for the Jaguar I use in Race B that I'm immensely proud of - don't know why it took me so long to actually apply my favourite colour scheme to it.. and not to toot my own horn (though I unashamedly am).. but god do I think it looks good.

Jaguar is a weapon in B if you haven't given it a shot yet. Hoping it's as good in Deep Forest as it is here - quite a few shared characteristics so I'm hoping it will be.
 
A little bit gutted to be missing the majority of next week's races.

M3 around Goodwood will have some serious replayability, and I would quite like to attempt the challenge of a possibly-wet Nurb.

I'm leaving on a flight on Tuesday, back in a week, so I'll have to choose my races on Monday carefully.

Just a couple of goes at each then!

Same boat, I go away for work tomorrow morning and not back till late Thursday. But I so want to do good in the M3 races :(
 
Not sure on next weeks Daily C???
Dome a few test races against AI and the weather is just so stupid. So I set the race up as per the info we know and I set the weather to random, rain, random with a x8 multiplier to try and replicate the fast moving weather.
1st attempt I had rain around halfway into the lap. It’s didn’t rain enough to move the track wetness to inters, but when I got the start finish the weather was still showing rain… now I didn’t know if I should have pitted or stayed out. In the end staying out worked as it didn’t rain after that.
2nd attempt full dry race.
3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th…etc... I only did half a lap as I wanted to test the track when wet, but on the X attempt I had a race which showed the blue clouds in like an island and no weather around it. I start on dry tyres as I think everyone else would and then around 1/3rd into the lap it rained and it was enough to bring inters into play. The hard tyres are like ice when it’s wet and I couldn’t even keep the car on the track. It got to the point where it was just ridiculous and I ended up quitting. I have a feeling a lot of people could have a similar issue and quit. Obviously things could be totally different come tomorrow and the racing be good, but I don’t know….

It's a high quit race, which I'm sure the time trial stats will show.

Fun...thats relative and I only speak for me but I can't see this race as fun. Interesting yes, idiot moments? Yes. Fun I don't think so. I think more grind than fun and the weather will be fixed weather for the daily so it will be repeatable but it's a 6 min lap on a good day. The grind is real imo

I always try to avoid quitting, since I don't wanna waste my time getting my SR back up to 99. But I can imagine using dry tires on a more wet track is super risky at Nurb 24, due to a tricky narrow track with bumps and some height differences.
 
Yeah, dry tyres on a wet track are very tricky, in places there seems to be just no grip at all.

At least things started off differently. Got up early, did a shorter morning run than planned to have some time for the Nordschleife before work.

Tried a pre-race qualifying run, hit rain 1/3rd of the way into the lap, went off. Restarted in the hope of a dry lap, hit rain in the same place, wasn't too bad so managed to complete the lap around 20s off dry pace. Still had a time for another qualifying lap in the lobby before the race started, this time 100% dry, got a good lap in for my first ever pole. What's the point of giving some people wet laps when others have dry?

Led for over half a lap, thought I was on for my first win, silly mistake dropped me to 2nd. A lap later a fast closing 3rd place catches and passes me. The gap between the top 3 closed down to 2.5s at the line, could have been my first win, but I'd blown it. Still, time for another run.

My qualifying time gives me pole again, this time it's wet in the warm up, I stick on dry tyres, the weather always clears fast right? From a mix of inexperience on a wet track and opponents on inters I was soon down outside the top 10, after numerous offs on a soaking wet track, finally with a now drying track I made it to the end of the 1st lap. No idea how much time you'd lose on Inters in the dry, but I can't imagine it's more than I'd already lost with all the offs on lap 1. Then my internet connection goes! At least it chose a good race to do it on.

Tried a third race, pole was 5s faster than I've ever lapped, so not much chance of going for a win. Running third before we leave the new circuit, disconnected again! Bloody Virgin Media had to choose today of all days to go in the blink. And top it all the mix of crashing in the wet and disconnects has got my SR down to A for the first time I can rememeber.

Fingers crossed for a reliable connection later today, off on holiday on Wednesday, so not much time left to race on the glorious Nordschleife.

I'll be curious to see if there is any consistent weather in C or it'll be like the other 'dynamic' weather races, where 9/10 are dry as a bone. I'd prefer a more 50% are dry with the chance of rain and/or sprinkles, 25% are just wet the whole race, and 25% start as wet or dry then go the other way about half way through (just to give people the chance to pit).

quite curious to see @Tidgney weekly guide for race C. I'm wondering if there will be some sort of break in the middle to go to the bathroom or get new popcorns like in the movie theater

just kidding
😜

thanks in advance for your activity!
 
Snuck a little break from work to get another run, 2nd on the grid, wet warm up so go for Inters after my experience last time out. This time despite some rain on the radar the tracks just not getting wet. I'm quickly sliding down the order on the wrong tyres, hints of rain come and go during the first lap, but never enough to start filling up the gauge.

Half way around lap 2 I'm down in 11th out of 13 runners, the Inters aren't that bad, not too worn, but not fast enough to be competitive. Finally it now starts to get wetter, wipers are going, the gauge is filling up, I get past 10th place, takes a while to catch 9th, but I've got the edge on speed, catching 7th and 8th. And off they go, then straight past a recovering 6th, and a recovering 5th. Catching 2nd, 3rd and 4th in time to see all three go off together. Easily got the pace to breeze past 1st and bring it home for a 14s win.
 
It's been a long, long, long old while since I've tried, but you can run an engine-swapped car under BOP right? The game just caps power and weight at the given values, but you still have the power band and torque (and sound) of the swapped engine.
