Plus the course map gives you an idea of where to brake and what direction you need to be going.

Dunno what it is about Interlagos, but it feels like there just aren't that many good spots to overtake, barring the start/finish straight and that straight that's after the Senna S. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fun, but the races themselves that I've had there just seem sort of OK. Could it also be the relatively short length of the race, since it's Race A and not the comparatively longer C? Maybe it's just me and the two particular races I've had so far, and I should enter some more rounds before making a judgment.

At any rate, I really do look forward to next week's races, especially Race C since I wanted to aim for DR A - plus I'm a fan of Spa-Francorchamps as a track, too.

Spa will be great on mediums buddy, you’re right, interlagos is a tough track to pass on, it’s a good track but just too many worrying corners to be punted on 😁 I’m looking forward to race b next week sooooooo much, sardegna A is a proper fast circuit and despite wanting gr4, I guess we kinda need gr3 as it will be a monster to tame it

Enjoy your days racing

Do you hate the first left turn after you pass the finish? I do because if I drive on the green coating, I risk getting penalized, if I veer to far at the right I may crash in the barrier. So it's not a great situation here. Sector 3 is tricky and takes a lot of time and practice to get every turn right. Yeah, I'll most likely do several races at Spa, maybe it isn't so bad after all.

I've had generally great racing at Interlagos this week, and bad races have been down to me going off by myself.

Somehow managed to get around unscathed here despite being 4 wide at some points... I don't mind losing a few places if the racing is clean

Proved to be a decent day for racing, some outstanding racing and I managed a win in amongst it all, TM reverse is a decent track for gr4.

Added a 3 star win 🏆

Wow mate, that is amazing progress. Glad to hear you all are having fun out there,

I agree, PD chose the right combo this time, the Group 3 cars were a little faster and harder to control on the mountain.

Sunday morning drive again bears fruit, managed a couple of wins from a guy who I just couldn’t overcome yesterday and turned out I had make the move stick in the first turns! Or he was gone.

Picked up 3 wins in 5 races,

Hi guys, hope your racing weekend is going well. Here's my first one in DR B. Bit of a gift cause the 1st lost it at last esses. Just 5 races till now in this class, and I can see the difference from the lowers levels, particularly regarding pace. The tighter grid helps, I believe. Starting to feel more "at home", regardless some psico that's still fooling around. I didn't really care too much about DS rating while ranking up. Being now in DS B/C (continuously switching between the two) doesn't help. When back to DS S, they'll be filtered away hopefully.

 

[Chris30]

I had a few hours of fun last night battling at Interlagos and Trial Mountain. However almost every race I started near the back. I usually start near the middle pack. I can't get my lap times down anymore. So I'll just relax and enjoy my races and not worry about finishing first.

So here’s a strange one, been sat at BB/BA all weekend, got a shed load of wins today and sure I was low B at some stage and then somehow jumped to AA? Let’s just say I know I ain’t staying there but I’m going to use today to get ahead, just finished 4th in a mostly A lobby

Edit. What a salty lot them A drivers are 🤨

Low A and high B is a violent place🤕🤯☠️ . It's much nicer being in the middle of any rank, I think

You ain't joking. These weeks are always tough where the higher level players come to daily B when typically they would be doing C so you get this massive pace spread (relative to the closeness of the times). Add in walls and "fear of losing A/A+" and being only 4 laps the sweat level goes up to 11

 

[Chris30]

I've noticed that some of the drivers I've dealt with at Interlagos have been mean, one guy punted me off track near Sector 2. I'm dealing with mostly D drivers and a couple C's. I can't imagine the carnage and chaos that would be happening if I was in a higher ranked lobby. I was able to improve my lap time by a small bit, 1'36.368. This is probably the best I can do for now. How are you guys coming along? I'm sticking with the Porsche RSR in this scenario.

I have one solitary attempt at Race C this week, and the sweat just completely put me off.

Obviously, Nurburgring is a bad track for dive bombs. What's annoying is you're left to feel incompetent, when what your actually doing is trying to stay clean.

Haven't touched online since.

 

[Chris30]

Oh, take a look at this guys. I had weird thing happen to me at the start of my 20th race at Trial Mountain. The game was acting like I was the leader. I chose the RCZ as you can see in the grid list. This has never happened to me and I hope it never does again. PD needs to fix these bugs/glitches. It ruins the fun of the game.

Reached 3,000 races this week at Interlagos.
