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. Didn't realise that it actually takes a full 15 seconds to cover that part of the track. 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.

All good. Glad to help.Ah ofcourse, I forgot to take this into consideration. Didn't realise that it actually takes a full 15 seconds to cover that part of the track. I finally get it now (and I'm hopefully not so slow of mind in other areas ).
The 300 board, but you have to sort of trail brake or hard, ease off, hard if you need to and then as needed to keep tight.Where are we all braking for the hairpin at the end of the front straight? The meter boards are either too early or too late, and the grass and striped kerbing on the left seem too late as well. Can’t find a brake marker.
Thanks. 300 seemed too early but will try it.The 300 board, but you have to sort of trail brake or hard, ease off, hard if you need to and then as needed to keep tight.
Edit:
Don't fall in to the trap of trying to keep going deeper and deeper as it's not the fastest way.
Also a tip: taking the earlier initial braking point gives you options to avoid people or run faster in to the first apex of the hairpin as it's got 2 apexes or one really late one
Exactly that, you want to take the corner tighter for the better exit up the hill.Thanks. 300 seemed too early but will try it.
Also feel like if you go too wide at the exit of the hairpin on the left you’ll compromise the entry to the next corner as it’s then harder to get back to the right side of the track to set up properly for the uphill left hander.
I wondered what happened to you Glen 😁3 times in the same race my wheel disconnected at the same place every time, the straight at Catalunya. This is beyond a joke.
If it was over working it, fine but I did 2 A races where I am definitely working the wheel for the slides.
This is nothing to do with the forum but PD/Fanatec fix your stuff or tell us why it breaks time after time after time.
If there are reasons admit them, give us work arounds or just acknowledge them. Patch after useless car update patch yet no fundamental fixes to FFB, disconnection issues, fresh daily content, weak season update.
What is the point of competitive racing when a wheel disconnects for no reason that is shown to the user? Was fine the lap before? Fine the lap after? I mean is this really a triple A title? It's not like my wheel unplugged itself or suddenly ran out of batteries.
I'm still very much distracted with other things but TM reverse is a track I often do well on and quite like, I'm one of these weidos that prefers reverse than regular here. I may be tempted, but why racing hards? I'm guessing this'll be Gr.4.
Annoying, just annoying. Did I say annoying.I wondered what happened to you Glen 😁
Hopefully see you out on track soon and that stuff gets sorted.
👊
Which Fanatec wheel base?3 times in the same race my wheel disconnected at the same place every time,
