Tough slog this QT in the Lambo

Edit:

I really don't understand the tuning to race competitively thing. I can see road car classes (junior touring cars etc) but I can't see that there is a massive online racing scene for it.

For drag racing yeah but multiple lap circuit races it's just not a motorsport thing.

I know people love it and that's why the Paddock areas exist to admire cars and go to the track. Just something I don't really get in the GT universe context of online races.

All that said we have a meme race in the nations on Saturday....🤷‍♂️
I actually really like the tuning aspect of Dailies when they are allowed. It creates more immersion and makes you want to improve as you naturally tweak settings to get a better time. I (stupidly) imagine that if people spend time trying to be better, they would care about results and try and drive cleaner...

What I would give my left nut for is for Poly to allow us to save car settings in between sessions and races rather than have to screenshot/ write down what we did to improve because they are lost as soon as you exit the session!

I get the race setup tuning but in a fixed class, what I'm talking about is the run what ya brung type scenarios.

Not saving tuning is such a let down for the Sports mode players quite honestly :(

Then join a race with 60 seconds left and try and rush entering all the settings, accidentally missing a few bits or moving the wrong slider... Race starts and you've got a car that handles like skateboard with castor wheels :boggled:

Personally I'm not a fan of tuning as most of the fast tunes seem like a hack rather than a realistic option, but if they could be saved to each car and readily available that would be an improvement :)

As Gr4 is mostly single-type races it would be nice to see how every other week they maybe had a different mandatory car to use - about 80 percent of my Gr4 garage has never been used.

I'm happy with the brake balance adjustment, because that alone can make or break your experience. I for one am awful when the brake balance is forced at 0, but open up the adjustment and I find the setting that works for me.

I have to admit that the other settings are more of a hassle and not really beneficial, especially since we have to redo them before every race.

Not being able to access saved tunes seems completely ridiculous for TUNED races...that seems solidly on the 'common sense' spectrum. Maybe that's the issue.

I like tuning cars, but only to suit my preferences. To your point, going to extremes on any of the settings starts to feel a bit arcade-like for me. Couple notches here and there to clean things up out of a tough corner? Sure, that's what it's there for. Maxing the ARB's? That's a bridge too far for me, starts to feel like you're taking advantage of something.

I really think the magic to getting more use out of more cars is better BoP. I don't think there's another answer and I really don't understand why a good balance is so elusive given the dedicated resources they have to work with. Then again, I have no clue what I'm talking about with regard to game development so imma shut-up now.😁

This.

I try every week we have a Gr4 race with something a little off meta but it's a hard grind and even then it is pseudo metas.

I've said this many many many years before that ranked Clio cup races are good. Ranked cossie 500s is good, golf's, DS's all good and that slower cars doesn't equal worse racing, in fact it offers better racing in an environment that would help get some of the players up to speed

Edit:

And it's more realistic, support races outnumber feature races by huge amounts.

I've had a few good races in the 458 on Race B (good, being 4th to 8th). A guy in a 650 finished 2nd and seen an NSX and G70 and Jag doing ok. Huracan seems a bit crashy, and I'd say the 458 is more stable in the turns - but it is only Monday.

Qualy-wise I'm 3 to 4 tenths slower with the 458 and 650 than I am in the Huracan.
 
Surely a nice bump to my DR.

Pretty sure the top 4 were all minimum B drivers

I returned to daily C after quite some time away and it was pretty good racing overall. It seems the fastest way to race is to take tyres around lap 5.
You can also pit on lap 1 or 10 and not take tyres, it’s only a few seconds slower over the entire race but you’ll be in for a boring drive on your own and then you will have little defence from those who did.
 
Last week Race C was dope. Really fell in love with Road Atlanta. What an awesome track to race. Just like someone said earlier, more people need to lift off throttle a give space, especially in sector 1.

Anyway, started the week high DR.B to low DR.A so racing from top 8 to racing dfl. Could manage 1.26.low steadily and some flash in the high 25. Lost two podium due to track limits in the last lap.

Did two great overtake in turn 1. Like I said awesome track
