No rain people say, what about pit stops?

Agreed, some people are lifting, some braking a tiny bit some are pretty much flat out.Watkins Glen, what can I say. You ruined that one 😂 but I did get a time which was 985 in the world, went to 1017 after the race.
Strange wheel effects, bumpy when running straight, no feeling when turning? BB+5 helped a bit.
Just a strange mixture of ppl doing the bus stop flat out against ppl who are braking 🤔
Carnage it is
Look forward to see the settings and the racing develop, might sit this week out
Ya, I'm sitting that one out. I don't want to buy the Bugatti just to compete.Watkins Glen, what can I say. You ruined that one 😂 but I did get a time which was 985 in the world, went to 1017 after the race.

Indeed. Frankly pd’s choices have been perplexing since a little before the movie release. Almost as if the marketing division took over the reigns. Which, from experience with that breed, is a flipping face palming excruciating train wreck most of the time.It definitely feels like something's changed at PD Daily Race Selection HQ lately.
Three race car races again, two weeks in a row without using Gr.4, Gr.1 as one of the shorter races for what I think is the first time ever, using the Nordschleife in dailies instead of just in GTWS, custom slipstream, the seemingly permanent Gr.3 credit bonus...
None of that was happening three months ago.
Not in GT7.Isn’t there a version of WG which doesn’t have a bus stop? Like Monza, seems a faux pas not to have chose that one.
Anyways probably need a week out.
Here's this week guide! Not a huge fan of the constant use of the Nurburgring but certainly some very odd combos this week! Downforce = Danger is what I take from this one though haha!
This might be confusion.Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races October 21: Race C
Mandatory Pit Stop: 1
And the worst thing is, the race is 8 laps, so anything can happen during that period. I ran a first decent lap of 1'25.342 in the NSX Concept, which is the meta car. Well we can't say that this has been the worst combination. That Jimny tuned race at Alsace was bad and they allowed some people to do engine swaps with a slightly more powerful car.Was really hoping for Gr4 at Watkins. Better racing I think than the much quicker prototypes.
Also Gr2 at Nurb Sprint. Wth?
Think I’ll be over on Simgrid Season (tho’ may give Watkins in Gr1 a try).
This was not a lot of fun to get in to the 1.28s let alone wanting to get in to the 1.27/6s

Edit:
I'd love to see how this week stacks up to other weeks.
The A player base has been largely conditioned to slower races and cars (memes included)
B player base was pretty much Gr4 and Gr3 sprints
C players longer races with or without strat
This week has mixed that up quite a bit so may well be received well or just turn people away.
Anecdotally the people I speak to on my leaderboards aren't very invested in this week. Will be interesting to see.
It's still early and probably not a race that pulls a lot of the normal names in to B as they are all going to be in C because "Nurbs" and also practice for Saturday.Good lord, 3s gap from 1st to 390!?
It's not Christmas yet unless it is in your country, Malta. We're hoping to see you back racing with us soon. Take care and enjoy your break.Logged in for 30 minutes. Had a little go at Race B and Race C time trials, came to the conclusion that I hate them both and logged out.
See you in a week, good luck and Merry Xmas 🎅🏻🤣🤐
Was gonna make a great joke but thought better of it 🤣I tried Race C. My hands can't do it. My right hand goes numb near the end of lap 2
It'll feel like someone else driving?Was gonna make a great joke but thought better of it 🤣
That was definitely the gist 🤣It'll feel like someone else driving?
Wasn’t the payoff only in race B last week? I recall noticing the +600 was present on B, but missing from the entry screen of c. Between a really busy week, and bad timing, i never got to actually race.That was definitely the gist 🤣
It's a very interesting thing that PD want people to practice for Saturday, C being essentially a short version of Saturday and the credit multiplier (and I could be wrong on this but for most sport players money/credits isn't the reason they race)
It makes me feel these races have been presented to push players to C to increase the pool in C and probably the GTWS as they aren't expecting big numbers for it. Not ideal if you want to regain that esports platform crown.
