I think I need to spend some time adjusting my wheel. I am using the DD Pro but with a larger wheel (the much nicer CSL V1 or whatever wheel), I like the larger diameter but I think the default settings are designed to work with the smaller wheel which is why I feel I don't have enough lock. I also want more weight, I get too much vibration and not enough weight.

I hear ya, I'm still getting use to my T-598, and that could be some of my problems also

In a lower ranked lobby thanks to DR reset from Race A but still had a good clean race B having from last to first.

That will be a lot of it, I’m noticing in VR even with the standard DDP GT wheel I can get almost fully crossed up and feel my elbow touching my leg. Which is an odd sensation as in VR the driver model I can’t see that and the gap is bigger between them on screen.

Weight I am constantly changing now based on the car and car class as they vary so wildly

That will definitely be part of it, are you using the T-LCMs? When I first had them with my TGT2 it took a fair while to adjust let alone going to DD

I feel my DR reset is in coming 🤣

Im joining the party a bit late (had a busy week) and now I understand all the hype for daily C.
What a blast!

The no DR stuff is always a negative thing for me but in this case it is encouraging me to try different cars starting for the back and Im loving the experience!

I had a full monsoon race that it felt like a type 5 hurricane .
The noise of the water on my headphones was loud enough to compete with the engine. Some wind gusts crossing the track in form of water spray and I dont know if it was a VR induced placebo or not but it felt like the wind was really pushing the car in that direction.

Last night after 3 races I went to sleep with a big smile on my face.

Please PD, just keep this level of creativity for the weeks to come!

Race C is great. They should add this (and other races like it) to the singleplayer. Do it as a custom championship or something, it can't be that hard.

Sweated this out quite a lot.

Then realised I was in a lobby full of DR B with one guy doing a last to first who still nearly managed it. Whoops.

I agree - had 3 races today, with 2 wins, including this one:-

Should have been 3 wins, but I stayed on dry tyres when pitting at the end of lap 9, and it rained on the last lap - I literally slipped to 3rd 😂

 

[newmedia_dev]

In the aim of trying to salvage some DR I’m gonna head to spa, I’ve said a few times I don’t particularly like Spa or Nordschlife just on fatigue as they are the go to for pretty much every racing game since the 90s especially in GT3 class cars.

*I also might be pretty slow at them as well 🤣

Three dry races for me. Shame, I reckon I could have had some fun in the wet.

Man I wish! I've just got the standard pedals, however coming from the g29, pedals, lights out! Still adjusting everything. My son got a computer, and I came home to wheel, but wanted an upgrade, I've been looking, but she about killed him over the thrust master, I was going to push it a little bit, those pedals are on my radar for sure

I've had just the one real wet race this week, plus two of the three today where it rained on the last lap!

Annoyingly I sold my TLCMs a few months back with my tgt and playseat to a young dude (who got a bargain, but the wife wanted it gone seeing I had a rig and DD wheel) I would have sorted you out

2:26 on spa

It's the thought that counts

 

[newmedia_dev]

I’m 2.20:7 and started the last 2 races in 12th and 14th omg

I’m in 2 minds wether to flog a dead horse and repair SR on the main account while trading DR or to go on my US or UK alt and not worry and just have fun.

 

[DannyPorter]

I just been doing track on circuit experience! I need to figure this out, and refigure GR.3, too much GR.4
Might as well have fun

The too much Gr4 resonates with me a lot!

Even thought the Gr3 stuff is slower it’s also become a heavier faster Gr4 race these days and I don’t particularly enjoy that sharp end stuff as much where mistakes are amplified due to the cars

Yeah I really enjoy GR.4 myself. Yeah they're way heavier that's for sure!

 

[newmedia_dev]

Turned the PS off till next week, I’m not finding a lot of fun in these races and that definitely more on me wanting to be more competitive (but fair, and clean)

I’m going to take the weekend to figure out what I want from racing time as it’s really hard in GT to balance fun and racing (at all levels) need to think about things.

What I am is mostly tired trying to extract fun/real race feelings from it at the moment. It’s just clumsy driving or sweaty as hell

I run my 8nm DD Pro with the 320mm CS RS wheel. I like my settings. If you’d like to give them a try message me and I’ll share.

Race C is pretty chill though, you have the pace not to take risks, just circulate and pulverise with lap time.

Yeah, ...I like the longer races, where patience, consistency, and strategy take part in the outcome.

I reckon that those impatient sprint racers, who want to win a 10-lap race on the first lap, ...but spin, or venture into the gravel, ...then disconnect, or waste their time trying to catch-up, is GREAT! 👏

 

[TheNormsk]

Hmm. Remember folks, don’t poke bears with big sticks!

Killer time @Nebuc72

That’s absolutely fair and true, but flip that on its head and at the faster lobbies where the pace is higher generally so the expectation is better car control and decision making. Qualifying in the top 2/300, the racing gets closer.

Based on my QT times for all the races, in B lobbies I’m at the sharp end, in a lobbies their are the people who are top 100 and that’s a lot of 100ths and then there is consistency, in mixed lobbies it’s hard to get that because of speed differentials

I’d ague that QT should factor more than DR or SR and what the whole pre race qualifying is supposed to counter.

Ability and lap time expectations are relative but this week I don’t have a lot of love for my peers on all the measures. Control, restraint and decision making. All lacking so far

Edit:

Reap what you sow @TheNormsk

🤣

Thank you, I'll always come back for a daily like this. Love it.
