Since yesterdayIs anyone else having server issues when trying to join a race?
Crapbut been waiting 10 mins for this one to start...
Try it and find out! LOL. But yes, I believe it does.Does it definitely affect DR if you quit
The two times I've hit it, once in race C yesterday, once in the World Series race this morning I left it 50 and 45 minutes before quitting and it didn't affect my DR. Others seem to have had a different experience, it may well be if you quit, then the race does eventually start you lose DR. Whereas in my cases I guess it was left so long the race never happened.Does it definitely affect DR if you quit
Great to hear it works for you.Caution: Opinion Ahead
Don't fully agree with this. Settings aren't really there to 'improve' the car, just change it. Since everyone drives a bit differently, how much impact those settings have is largely up to the driver. They aren't a magic pill designed to cast seconds from your lap time, obviously.
For me it was a very noticeable difference. For instance, when in full dumbass mode and diving into races w/out updating settings I was well aware of my gaffe by the end of turn 1. The improvements I realized were:
All of these things added-up to much stronger lap times and far more consistent races. As cautioned, though, this is through the lens of a party of one.
- Better traction out of tight turns
- Kerbing could be attacked w/out unsettling the car much, if at all
- Smoother around the course
PS - ...and the 911 can drift beautifully when softened up. Not what you're shooting for, but nice to have when you find yourself there anyway.😁
I think it affected mineI had 3 good races, all loaded on fine on both UK and US accounts.... but been waiting 10 mins for this one to start...

Back from holidays, been inactive the last 2/3 weeks. How has everyone's week been so far?
Good to have you back. Sorry to report that there's big issues with the race servers. Or I suppose it could be something in the update (which might explain why it isn't fixed yet), although there've been sporadic issues the past week or two. Now it's just plain terrible.Back from holidays, been inactive the last 2/3 weeks. How has everyone's week been so far?
So I got stuck again and just let it load until it sent me back to the homescreen I think it's the exact same length as this would have been so I suspect it's a 50 minute time limit for Daily Race B before it completely ends the session. Although it's "53" on the clock but it felt the exact same time as this race I've quoted plus the laps.Just to add I did report this to PD on the very first Daily Race C that was available after the patch (8:30am on Patch day), well reported in the feedback group that is.
Edit: Interesting.... If you get in the race it also comes up with a timer after awhile? When the timer runs out you just go straight to the home page, I've no idea of the impact of DR in this situation.

You, Rory, Kie, and all of us are having this issue. I mean I'd understand if they said they were doing critical infrastructure updates and it should go back to normal. But nothing, just stonewall anything really is disrespectful to the money we spend and the time we invest trying to enjoy their product.So I got stuck again and just let it load until it sent me back to the homescreen I think it's the exact same length as this would have been so I suspect it's a 50 minute time limit for Daily Race B before it completely ends the session.

But what is the point, everyone else has quit.I don't quit the delayed races so as not to hurt my SR, but it's artificially inflating my DR when I start in 12th and beat the 8-14 DNFs when the race starts.
For sure, the 2-4 player races aren't great unless you were close to start with, then you can get some fun dueling. Mostly everyone just parades through 5 laps in qualifying order.But what is the point, everyone else has quit.
It's just shoddy that me and you have to wait out their game being terrible to protect SR and DR I'd rather earn or lose in a race.
Both of those come and go so don't waste time or electricity waiting, you'll earn it back in a race or 2 if the servers ever work again....
They can be fun, but I don't like waiting 15 mins for it. That's the bugbear for me.For sure, the 2-4 player races aren't great unless you were close to start with, then you can get some fun dueling. Mostly everyone just parades through 5 laps in qualifying order.

BoP negates the loss of speed due to worn fuel.Possibly a stupid question... Does BoP in the daily races negate any loss of power from poor engine oil condition? Just did a race which I felt was great but in garage, noticed the oil was poor (orange) and I gained 15bhp after changing to new oil... 🤔
I've been called a lot of things in life, but not that!Yes mate and you've become a chicane.
