Ok I gotcha, is it too late to Double Down!?🤣 I just thought it was the best score per Rd not your last posted score. I totally get that way of doing it though too. I grinded like that last Wed to get to harder lobbies then got 126. Saturday I had 96 but then the lobbies got easier & the Points weren't as generous. The best lessons are the ones the hit the hardest. Thank you guys GL
Yea, it's like Mercia said... if you think you can do better than go another round. But if you're happy with the points you earned, best to leave well enough alone. You never know and a lot of it is out of your hands. You can place P3 in your first race for 150 points, want to go again thinking you can get more points, and the next lobby P1 is worth 140 so you're guaranteed to lose out. Or, maybe the next round is worth 170 points. You just never know so it's a bit of a gamble.
I managed ~1:46.5 in qualifying with the Mazda, with TC 0, default BB, automatic transmission. After corner apex I use 50-70% throttle (depending on corner speed) and then quickly ramp up to 100%. As for understeer, I guess I don't notice it a lot except for the first chicane, I feel like you just need to be more patient before going on throttle, maybe break and turn in a little earlier too than you might think.
This is true, but I do feel the Gr.4 is so damn close now. In fact, once the Mazda is sorted then I feel a whole slew of cars are viable. Same with Gr.3 (generally speaking), the balance is much better than it has historically been.
I was gonna whine about one car being dominant over all others at some tracks but, you do make a good point. There are exceptions that are just blatantly bad/obvious (Mazda and Ford for this round) but this happens IRL, too. Pick a year/era and a motorsport and I'm pretty sure you'll find a singular dominant car/manufacturer for that same period. You'll probably also be able to correlate a rules change to balance that the following year.
Not sure what happened here keeping this car stuck on track but my friend beside me did not catch on in time
Almost put me off the lap I couldn't help laughing.
Hey
It's even better with soundCant stop watching this over and over again
Man I was chasseing Mr Fishtail myself, I was at 1:48 and had just hit 1:47.7 and thought for sure I had him, but like you I found he went to a higher ground. lol@Dep Fishtail thanks for the 'list racing' last night. We kept goin' back and forth but I finally had to throw in the towel...it was after midnight and I gots work, lol. Pretty sure I saw when you had your 'A-HA' moment with the CoD, too. Was chasing you and @GrumpyOldMan through the 47's...but then you crushed my hopes and landed a '46.8xx. Time for bed.🤣
PS - I got 46's in me...you ain't outta the woods yet.😁
I guess calling him "Mr Tail" could be misconstrued, eh? I digress...
Do you mean close apart from the Mazda? Because it’s clearly OP at DTS this week. It just drives away from the other cars on the straights even if they are in its slip (with the possible exception of the 650S?).
For me (a high B/low A) it hasn't really been an issue so far. Sure, the Mazda is faster on the straights, but I've been managing to hold my own. However I'm sure in a race with A/A+ drivers, it can seriously cause issues.
When they brought out the new car (the Mazda3), it wasn't balanced right (obviously). They usually release an update that fixes the issue, and I'm sure they will with this - I suspect the holidays interfered with this. If they don't fix it in the next update, I'll be really surprised.
I understand the sentiment but the Mazda3 was released in this state in September, not in the holidays. It hasn't been changed for a quarter of a year at this point.
