🎶Wayee….wayah …yah..eee 🎶 Daytonaaaaaah…..let’s go away …wayee🎶 I remember that arcade game was an instant hit when it was released in the 90’s. Great song to bring people in, they would blast it level 10. It was way way ahead of its time and also a blast for everyone who tried it alike. I would regularly get my ass kicked by little kids. The graphics and gameplay despite it being nascar were unreal at the time. By the late 90’s you could find arcades with like 8 units all connected racing against each other, which was also ahead of its time. I’m sure it’s long gone from arcades now. Ahh memories from when the air was still fresh. 😂

I’m not a circle track person but Daytona Road Course is loads of fun. I have not raced it in daily races before. I’m hoping for gr1 or 2 maybe? Gr3 is fine too. Anyone know what they will be or they only tease the tracks each week through that Hungarian post was it I think?

I would love to see a longer format. I have only been daily racing for about 2 months. Have they done races longer the 1hr window, like Nurburgring was a few weeks ago? Would be fun to have a mini 2 hr endurance race C.
 
Yeah, the Oval is boring, the Road Course has a lot more turns and variety. It least it gives people fun and enjoyment while driving on the track. I'm focusing on Race B this week because of the 600% money increase. That will help a lot of people.
 
Having a bit more fun out there today. QT of 1.30.124 was all I could muster at brands and that’s putting me in the top 6 starting places, some good racing out there, would prefer half as many laps but I just can’t get on with mt panorama this week.

@Barney Da Dog i stole your ddpro settings which you shared recently and that immediately took 8 tenths off my time 😳

They were ones that @PirovacBoy posted originally 👍
They work great - can feel what's happening and react much quicker than I could previously. I keep the in-game FFB at 8-10 depending on car.

I'm struggling a bit at Brands this week. As much as I dislike tuning, it made the G70 feel 'great?' (well, less horrible perhaps) and last week I was on pole for many races - whereas this week I'm starting mid-field and not gaining any ground.

I've avoided B this week, but have had great success and good racing on A - hardly seeing any familar names though as most people must dislike it.

I've made peace with the car now and understand a lot better how to drive it. I think in real life you'd never have a 4WD with the sort of diff and transfer box as this is represented in the game.

It is a mixed week as have only done Brands and the racing is mixed in the better ish split lobbies it's been ok with the odd win here or there but others it's funny to watch in my rear view as a car comes up the inside at 1 gazzilon miles per hour I'm to druids....

It's also been a week of some types of drivers either honing their "craft" or just clumsy/poor decision making in to the middle sector and not being able to race side by side.

I'm really looking forward to Daytona next week. Less so Catalunya though as my TT laps for practice make me feel it's going to be a "touring car-esque" type of race...

I've definitely improved with the G70 (after tips you posted previously). I think there's a 1:29.0 doable, so may try again later..
All the Brands races I've tried have had some kind of drama unfortunately - either self inflicted after a trip though the gravel and the resulting 5 cars flying past, or getting caught up in some kind of grudge match :indiff:

As you know and most of forum know the race suicide is my thing 🤣

Same for me regarding the grudge matches there seems to be something in the water. 3 races this week I've been handed 2nd and 2 I've been included in a party I'd not RSVPd to....the rest is just me being slower in race conditions.

All three of my accounts are now A, first world problem is I'm not fast enough for A. This is a problem.

Edit: grammar

I did wonder however about the fact that you did yours on a 8nm and I have a 5nm, they are good settings in any case but I wonder if I miss some ‘strength in the wheel.

Yeah its been a lean week 😏

I managed a couple of wins today but it’s been a little rough in the races I have to say

5nm is more than fine.

The amount of force isn't the thing it's the weight and personal preference that is the key.

I change my wheel force dependent on car category but rarely if ever go full on 8NM.

That's not what you need although that stupid RA Honda race is have died to have a 50nm wheel!

I finished 12 races at Bathurst and did 2 at Autopolis, the Group 2 event is way more fun and enjoyable than the Bathurst one. I haven't been in the racing mood this weekend. I found out my mother has Stage 4 Cancer Friday afternoon. What an unpleasant surprise to my birthday weekend.

Well I can hardly blame you for not feeling it. I'm really sorry to hear that mate.
 
The Daytona Oval races they've had with Gr3 Corvettes, Ford GTs and Vipers was heaps of fun. Slip streaming super speedway races are heaps of tactical fun, and i find the racing better than the Special Route X, which is spoiled by the nitrous.

Has there ever been a Northern Isle daily? a low PP race there would be great.
 
I don't think I've driven Daytona since the update - I like the course but have never been that quick there, so will need to improve myself there.
I've had a ridiculously good run of wins the last couple of weeks at Brands Indy and then Autopolis. 53 poles and 42 wins - a feat I will probably never repeat, but it's been good while it lasted.
 
Looks like Supra is back to being the META at Daytona. Not surprised because PD. I really liked it when it was the GT LM II but since this combo showed up last time the Ford top end was Nerf'ed and the Supra top end was buffed.

Other than Nord, Gr3 at Daytona is my favorite combo so hoping to do some this week.
 
I don't know if anyone's mentioned this or not, but not only haven't we ever raced "Tokyo Express East Counterclockwise" before in daily races, but AFAIK we also haven't raced "Catalunya National" either. Admittedly it's just a truncated version "Catalunya GP", but still, it's new-ish.

What is PD thinking? Are they suddenly realizing there's other tracks out there that could be used for daily races? Did they wake up one day and say "Hey! Why don't we make more use the other tracks? I wonder why nobody ever thought of this before?"

All kidding aside, thanks PD for something different. (Not that they'd ever read this, but I'll throw it out into the universe anyway.)

I was doing lobby races last night and the GT LM has gone to ****. Bounces all over the place and is horrible to drive now. Couldn't get below 1:46.2 . Tried a few other cars but the Supra just breezed past me every time we got to the banking
 
I know that SOME people don't like fuel saving races, because it required patience and setting a deliberate pace. But, the reaction by PD to NEVER EVER EVER have these races again is a bit extreme.

Why not just dump the pit stops altogether? A required stop and required change throws pit strategy out the window, so why not just abandon it altogether? I get that it's a slight variable, but I'd rather just race than be forced into the same strategy as everyone else.
 
Daytona chikane: pLS hALp!

I have done perhaps an hour of QT (following a fast ghost) and three races. I still have absolutely no idea how to take the chikane without either driving like a grandma or making it nice, clean and fast, but of course getting the 0.5sec penalty.
Could somebody perhaps put some words to this or maybe even do a simple and clear drawing? 🙏🏼
Clearly there is something I don´t get.
Thanks!
