Well no racing for me for a few days - while at work, I got bitten on both hands by an Otter (long story)
Sore hands, tetanus injection and a course of antibiotics. Bloody Otters - though I wasn't enjoying the racing much anyway, so not to bothered
A: GR2 / Karts?
Karts are always Sports Softs, it won't be the kart.A: GR2 / Karts?
B: GR3 (because GTWS maybe?)
C: GR4
Just guesses
@Barney Da Dog Oh my, you got bit by an otter, seriously? I hope your hands heal up
I wonder if it will be the GT-R T-spec '24 car or the Lancer Evo XIII one. I'm guessing this but usually the week after PD releases an update one of those featured cars in it will appear in one of the next set of daily races.Karts are always Sports Softs, it won't be the kart.
Excellent, a rubbish set of tracks for the week I'm away on holiday.
Got to love a bit of TM reverse! Nice
Glad I wasn't alone on this...was hoping for a backstory on that one. It's a rare opportunity:You can’t just post about getting bitten by an otter while at work without the story. lol. The chances of that sentence and experience ever occurring is like 1 in a billion. Obviously im sorry you got hurt and you’re hopefully ok, but that has to be the best story ever!! You must have a wild job, what are the chances! I’ve seen otters, but they always go the other way. You have to tell it lol.
I'd loved to have heard the explanation to the medics.Well no racing for me for a few days - while at work, I got bitten on both hands by an Otter (long story)

It's the leader. Pit delta at Daytona assuming no fuel no tires is ~15 seconds.I've got an example of the gaps to other drivers (who either did or did not make a pit stop yet) thing that I told you about I didn't understand, 2 or 3 pages back in this thread. It's a screenshot from a TheKie stream, but this will do.
I thought before the time in red was the time you are behind the leader, but now I am confused about it. This is the screenshot:

TheKie already pitted at this point (his pit animation took about 31 seconds). He was already driving at the back, and after his stop he's driving 15th place, 27.348 seconds behind... who? So this 27 odd seconds is not his gap to the leader? Because if the leader (anyone behind that still needs to pit) takes a pitstop of 31 seconds, than TheKie will pass them all, but in reality it's quite a hopeless drive from the back because he was punted in the first corner.
Because you're not coming out of the pits at the same location of the track you went in. It takes about 15 seconds for you to go from entry to exit on a normal hot lap. Thus, 30 second pit time - 15 second hot lap time = 15 seconds lost total to pit.How can the pit delta be 15 seconds while the whole pit animation is more than double (no fuel, no tires), this I just don't get 😅
This is his pit entry, so he is 6.7 seconds behind the leader:

This is pit exit (so more than 30 seconds into the pits):

Now this is his delta, 21 seconds:

So you guys are right. It is indeed a 15 seconds. But how is this possible when the animation takes longer.. the rest of the field keeps racing during this animation?
We're getting off topic of the dailies, but again, what you are suggesting (although technically possible) is far more complex that you think.With the amount of data that Polyphony has on quali-laps from different skilled players, races (dayly or official contests) from all DR an DS categories, I don't see the "science fiction" of an algorithm monitoring and policing 12 to 16 objects (players) in a rather confined space. Especially when those aren't always altogether engaged like at the start (in fps games the algorithm takes care of 128-150 players)
Ah ofcourse, I forgot to take this into consideration. I finally get it now (and I'm hopefully not so slow of mind in other areas ).Because you're not coming out of the pits at the same location of the track you went in. It takes about 15 seconds for you to go from entry to exit on a normal hot lap. Thus, 30 second pit time - 15 second hot lap time = 15 seconds lost total to pit.
