Why?
It's a genuine opinion? With all the help, tutorials, guides, community support why isn't "everyone" getting better?
I don't see you on the time trial thread but we all seem to improve our times there?
I dunno just perplexes me how many bad races people seem to have and I posted my stats to show that maybe proportionally I remember (or don't) my better races over all the rage quits I've done or the muppets I've raced with.
I dunno but yeah I like buttered popcorn if your buying.

Yes we have to remember that there are highs and lows with any race. Last night I had a few bad actors in my races which absolutely killed me and I thought I was done. But for the heck, I decided to have another go but with the R8 this time. Shaved more time off my QT and started Q4. Finished third on the podium in a mostly clean race. That should help bump my SR again.
Of course in my QT attempts I had a run that was going to be in the 1:19s (I was over a second up) when of course I spin last corner
. Still shaving .3 off feels good (I'm ahead of @GrumpyOldMan
) and I know I can potentially do 1:19s now..- 3,746

And I do understand that human behaviour.
It's natural that the most upsetting stuff sticks the most and you want to share/rage/diatribe about it.
I was just saying that it "can" and my own biases included look to be disproportionately negative and concentrated because there is more bad races than good.
But I do take the point entirely that it's skewed to recency bias.

How is that a baffling decision? Consider that race C for the most part has accelerated tyre wear figures which makes competing on a DualSense compared to wheel harder as you will always wear your tyres more. It wouldn’t be fair for C to give more DR and I also don’t see how it would work, logically. It takes and gives DR based on your position and how high or low ranked your competitors are and where they place compared to you. The race length is irrelevant.

Some people just may not have the aptitude to get to that point regardless of the availability of guides. Maybe they don't have the time to dedicate to it. There's also a difference between being able to put down a quick qualifier and being consistent from lap to lap when you're going wheel to wheel with others on the track.
For myself, for now I seem to be pretty much topping out as a low A driver, depending on the track/car combo and my time available to race and hone in on that aforementioned consistency.
Edited to add - Not sure if this has been linked yet, but here are some educated guesses as to next week's races.

I just realized that my last race dropped my SR even further to a lowly C!!!
This is the race.
My two prior races yesterday were bumpy affairs that dropped my SR rating from SR S to SR B. Horrified I almost quite daily race B for the week but decided to try one more, this time with the Audi R8. I had a faster QT and started on 4th. By race end I was on the podium in 3rd. I might have been a second but an initial penalty and then being spun by a punt at the end of lap 2 had drop back and then me needing to regain position from there.
I don't understand why my SR dropped. There was some contact with other cars but in the first 2-1/2 laps any contact was caused by actions of another car. There is only one impact that I can see as attributable to me, and that is lap 3, when a car rejoins after going off at Pouhon. They get in front of me just as I hit my braking zone into Les Fagnes and the speed difference causes a minor punt where they did not go off track and did not lose position.
If that was the only reason it seems somewhat harsh to drop my SR for that. Unless it is also attributing the contacts caused my the other cars?
Thoughts?

100% agree
But that's sort of my point. If you don't have the ability, can't spare the time to practice and learn to be consistent and some race craft then what expectations can you reasonably have?
If you do 2 races a week don't bother to do the circuit experiences and then go racing competitively online with expectations beyond ability or consideration of those around you. Of course you are going to have a lot of bad races.

Ahh gotcha never seen those before, I meant daily race B & C though, just GT cars. I'm 100% certain me, my dad and brother use to be in a party and race in daily b and c.

No mate, it's not possible unless set up as a private lobby as shown above. No idea how it worked on GT6 but on Sport and 7 matchmaking for daillies is based on your DR / SR level, it doesn't have any function to be played as party, the game would just matchmake individually based on DR / SR regardless. If you got in the same lobby it would be luck.

We were all DR D but I'm certain it was dailies but I'm doubting myself, shame really because that would be an easy way to have consistently good races even if the field is mixed on pace it would be easier to learn quicker and smoother lines for the slower drivers rather than individual created races, different rules and regs to daily b and c but is what it is, majority of my races are good even though Spa ruined my SR .

Driver Rating wasn't in GT6. It was introduced in GT Sport - as were official, ranked, scheduled public races.
You could party up and join user-created lobbies in GT6, but there were no Daily Races. There were Seasonal Races that it was possible to join but not - as I recall - as a group, only as individuals jumping into the same race at the same time.

Thanks to gtsh-rank for posting next week predictions.
Putting this in a format that helps people like me who don’t want to watch a video to gain this information. 😉

You know, Spa is much easier when the people behind me crash and burn. Just sayin'.

What about in Sport? It was the PS4 days but I went to the Xbox Series S after and I might be mistaken but I can remember Sport coming out and it wasn't even a full game for the next gen consoles or am I getting confused with a beta?
None the less it's an idea that's been talked about and will never happen, I would imagine if you had say 4 people in a party the DR and SR would just have to be mixed as a sacrifice for racing with friends, pretty similar to GT racing in real life hence the changes to GT4, GT3, GTE and GTH with the introduction of ABS etc which has slowed down pros and speeded up AMs making the mixed Championships safer and more competitive to an extent.
Tell me we wasn't just in a DR C SR A&B together?

I must be mistaken or just thought it had happened, I remember racing in GT3 cars around Dragon Trail and my dad moaning he wasn't moving from DR D and SR D, we must have been in party chats racing seperate races or coincidentally getting into the same groups, beer, age and work have taken a toll on my memory 😁

In reply to your comments regarding my post relating to my most recent Sports Mode races.
The only expectation I have is that the users of Sport Mode do so with respect.
And to end you finally accuse anyone reporting bad race experiences of being deluded and having no consideration for others.
I am a mild mannered person and have had no previous “run-ins” with any members of this forum. Your recent posts, however, have resulted in me engaging you in a manner that I am not comfortable doing. I will not be doing so again.
In reply to your comments regarding my post relating to my most recent Sports Mode races.
On what criteria have you based this assertion upon? You have no knowledge of mine, or anyone else‘s, aptitude limits upon which to base such a remark. Reading guides, tips etc is one thing. Having the abilities to put knowledge into practical application is another.
Are you implying that I am fabricating my reports?
Perhaps because you haven’t considered that some people don’t have the same skills that your statistics demonstrate.
I have said before that I came to this forum from GT Sport. I played GT Sport because I came to enjoy the multiplayer aspect of a driving game. GT7 was launched with a Sport Mode option and I, like many others, followed the hype of GT7 and “moved” from GTS to GT7. I didn’t come here to do time trials. I came here for Sport Mode, livery design and photography.
Yet your reply to my post was to criticise both it’s content and my apparent inability to “git gud”.
Now you 100% agree that there ARE aptitude limits. Somewhat contradictory to your initial assessment.
I didn’t say I did 2 races a week. I have made no mention of circuit experience nor do you know what I have or have not completed in that respect.
The only expectation I have is that the users of Sport Mode do so with respect.

Well....as is very difficult to have a clean overtake in Spa, people act as if they can do whatever they want to pass you, 90% of time they punt you from behind or they take really narrow turns touching your side...it's really frustrating, as I said yesterday every evening I turn on my PS and find the same 1-2-3 guys in the lobby wreaking havoc in the race, I don't wanna name names cause it's useless and I think also against the rules of the forum but, I mean, after a week that this attitude goes on there should be a mechanism to, at least, degrade their SR....we are talking about C-S lobby.
And so...first race obviously I was tete-a-tete with one of ours, started 8 finished 13, sayin that I was expecting that is implied.
Second Q5 F5
Third Q8 F7
Then called it a day cause I was lucky to save two races with those guys around and moved to some local custom races....
....GT is great online, only if PD would put some time to adjust the penalties and have a temporary ban system, even at least a night, for recurrent bad users......

It was a good time when Nenkai was posting next week's daily races on Fridays (usually) on Twitter. It gave time to practice during the weekend instead of having to do so after a work day (for those who don't work during weekends and work on Mondays at least).
Also, the ambulance not being available for sale until the end of September probably prevents it from being used in a daily race until then. The Clio V6 24V popped up in the UCD today, so, you know, that would be a good car to drive
