When you go from full SR and 3 CRB in a row get rammed, slightly show the rammer you are holding your line.

Lose 3/4 of your SR bar and 5 second penalty. I'll hold my hands up and say I could have given him more room but this was not racing ending contact more "I'm on the apex and leaving less room than I could have"

Yet another race guy spins, doesn't ghost hit him by accident "clean race bonus" this system is bloody awful especially if you play this game a load

Well, I have to say, the search for pace was not straight-forward. I found that the input my PS5 was using was not as free of delay as I had first believed, and everything was less optimized compared to my PS4. I turned off all the TV effects (all image improvement features) that could cause a delay between the PS5 output and what I was seeing on screen. I went so far as to turn off the HDR (more so because I didn't like the image quality, which I found to be too dark).

Once everything was optimized for frame rate, as I have it with my PS4, I managed to get my times down. Still, there is some differences in the physics. it might not make a big difference over a lap, it does over the course of a race. I can feel it when I play.

Hopefully the next update makes the two versions more equal.

This sounds like it could be a tv issue more than a PS5. All 4k HDR tv's aren't created equal. Is your PS5 plugged into a 2.1 HDMI port? What is the unput lag time of your tv? Does your tv have a Game Mode? If you're having to turn off a bunch of features to get the game to run better, it may be time to upgrade your tv. Read more about it here https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/ps5 . If this isn't the problem than I would say it's just a matter of adapting. But I can't see a case of the PS5 inducing more input lag than a PS4.

Very crashy evening this evening.

Race 1 started on pole, and after getting knocked off early on got back into a four way fight at the end and got second back but very ill tempered in places.

Race 2 was the one mentioned earlier. Feel quite guilty about that race, took the win, but less said the better.

Race 3 was determined to do a much better job so decided to take the Porsche which I had no experience in whatsoever. Had a race long fight against a Lexus eventually taking the win which was a nice tonic.

Race 4 I decided to try the Lexus. I really want to win in this car but this race isn't the one, it just does not handle to my tastes. Race long battle with a Mazda eventually stuffing it at the end and taking the Mazda out on accident. From playback he wasn't exactly clean either but gave me some in the comments.

Race 5 went back to the Porsche. Had a lovely race long battle with a Jaguar, taking third.
 
Do you need to have a tune for the Ring race? I see that it’s not BoP and I really cba with figuring out what car and tuning it, but maybe I’m misunderstanding.

I don’t know how the A/B/C race system works in these Daily Races though, I’ve only done 9 or 10 races. Reading in here it looks like A is never for DR or something?
 
Advise please: I'm still at 1.50.6 in the mountain, but great sector 1 and 2: 0.29.7 and 1.08.7. Comparing with ghosts it seems I loose it all in S3, and more specifically the last two turns. Also in races I notice that I'm always caught up on the start/finish straight.

I'm in the 911 - any advise? How are you managing last two turns? Brake marks, turn in marks, BB adjustments... anything you would be willing to share? What's the secret I don't know?

You do not need to do the tuning for race A, it's already done for you. Your only car options are pre-tuned road cars. Most of them are pretty closely matched with my go-to being the LFA or the 911. None of them truly suck, though.

Dr is off this week for race A, again, and it looks like that might be a permanent feature. Races B and C are both Dr/Sr on with no tuning. Both are BoP races with brake balance/TCS being the only things that can be changed. Race B will typically be the 'sprint' for the week with race C being the longer event that includes a pit stop. Sometimes they throw tuning in the mix but it's been a while. If they DO offer tuning as an option, most folks in here share what they are using for set-ups so it's a great place to start.👍

:cheers:

EDIT
@skandiamannen something feels off this week at the mountain. Can't put my finger on it but the cars feel sketchy/unstable. Didn't check the track temp but I've been struggling as well. Not much help, sorry, just a bit of co-misery on offer.

Beyond that, I usually start with what @Tidgney recommends and then season to taste, if you will. For the last left, he drops anchor just before the second blank barrier wall on the left. Watch his guide a page or so ago, you'll see what I mean.

There must not be much SR on offer in Daily A. I've done 11 races in my effort to recover my SR from mid B to full S, and 10 of those have resulted in SR-up indicators and I'm still only 3/4 SR-S.

Hey, guys. Just thought I'd stick my head in and say "hi". I've done 3 race B's this week so far, and although I know the track like the back of my hand, it's hard to shake the dust off.

Anyway, I may be around more. We'll see.

You can admit it...you're just here drummin'-up fresh traffic to GranTracker.😁

Been a minute, hope all is well. Curious, have you not been playing at all or just not been vocal here? Assuming not playing so was gonna ask what you thought of the changes since you last played. There's been a ton so it might not just be cobwebs you're fightin', lol.

I finally figured-out who's name was consistently missing from the friends list when you popped-up again the other day, so thanks for that.🤣

:cheers:
 
I'm back at it at Trial Mountain this week. I tried the cars at the top of the leader boards with little success. I then tried my old dependable in the Huracan and got a time of 01:51.5XX. So, I jumped into 2 races this evening.

The first one had me P4 on the grid. Thanks to some lap 1 heroes, I got pushed into the wall in the twisty bits and lost some time. I then went off track trying to avoid a car I thought wasn't going to ghost after a spin. It did thankfully, but you never know with this game. I spin on my own after I get on the grass and had a heck of a time trying not to spin again as it felt I had no grip in my tires. A P13 finish for this one

My second race had me in P6 this time. The experience was much better as there were no lap 1 heroes and I kept it clean with no off track adventures. I did almost lose it on lap 3, but I've gotten much better at catching the car once the back end kicks out on me. I finish P5 after one of the leaders has a spin.

I'm still at 1:51.2 (matching your 1:50.6 only ideally). Losing from 4 to 9 tenths just at first esses (I've some homework to do there). For what is worth, don't brake too deep for the first left (in 1 gear) clinch lil the curb and, as soon as you see the right curb blue/white appearance, put the 2nd pointing towards the curb (gentile with the throttle) and go full throttle just before hitting it. Brake mark: at ar 1/3 of total lenght of external curb (always before the braking red blinking ligth start, if it has already started blinking it means you're too late on braking, but if it blinks just after start braking then you're spot on). I'm always matching (if not being lil in front) ghosts in the 1:49s at the approach of first esses, then I start messing. BB 0 to +2 max depending on "taste". +2 gives more instability downhill after the back straight on the third to last corner to the right. Beware, in race is better to sacrifice the entry a bit in order to avoid idiotic diving bombers. Hope it may help you to get in the 49's club.

Oh man, I feel bad for those stuck with the PS5 version. Especially this week with the Nurb Race A. ON PS5, you can't even breath on the curbing or the car ends up bounding like and east LA Impala

I play the ps4 version on my ps5. I do not notice any problems. Could also be my own lack of skill ;-)

I haven't been playing, nor have I been reading much. I'm not sure what changes you're talking about. I mean, some of the cars seem much squirrely than before, but adjusting the BB seems to help.

Nature of the race as it's typically not really close racing for large parts of it.
Click to expand...
I've always been under the impression that SR was calculated by completing clean sectors, not close racing. Ie a lonely race out front would yield the same result as a closely contested (but clean) race in the mid pack.

It is one of the most fun races I've seen in sport mode, race A is usually dead after a few hours but this week it seems like the Nordschleife fans are hitting it hard!

This has to be one of the best combos they have on offer, period. Cars/Tunes are perfect for the venue. In my opinion, they found the perfect blend of speed and traction to let things get a little messy without dying. The opposite of this equation would be: Gr.3's + RH's + cold track = NO.😁

Had a great run there yesterday. Been trying to shave some time off my QT since the 7:16 I had included a trip to the wall and a complete stop through Swallow Tail. This is not the place (for me) to play back row hero, lol. A 7:05 and change, even after taking flight through Hedwig's, was a welcome improvement. Landed me sub-1000 so happy with that.

I know this track has a strong love/hate thing going on. For me, no matter how many times I run it, no other place is as rewarding to put down a decent time at. ANY decent lap here is a freakin' triumph.🤣

Given the limited hours to play that I have for this week, Im having such a difficult decision to make between A and C.
A is all fun but C is one of my strongest combos (dont know why but I can overperform and match the pace of some drivers who usually are way ahead of my times).
So the decision is to have fun at the nords or farm DR at Suzuka...

Thanks a lot mate, i'll take another look, but I'm in VR, should have mentioned that, so it's hard to translate.

Personally I would always go where you are having the most fun, whichever race that is. DR comes and goes so I try to not pay too much attention to it.

The cars is one of the great things about this race, the Mazda is probably the fastest car on the leaderboard but everything is competitive so people are choosing whatever they like the feel off best and you get a load of variety on the grid.

I haven't tried a qualifying lap yet but have been having good fun starting from the back, I even managed a win last night when the lead group self-destructed 😅

That's weird. I pound those curbs like it's my job and it feels no different than it has in years at this track.

Are you going back and forth between the two platforms? Maybe it's just me but I haven't had the street cars on the PS4 version bounce they way they do on PS5. I did Race A with the Supra on PS5 and the bouncing was killing me. On the PS4, it's a minor nuisance.

Ya, could be, but I have seen many complain about the darkness of the PS5 HDR. I was suffering that as well, so I turned it off. Personally, I think it looks better. Then again, I feel that way about HDR on other platforms as well...and yes, it totally could be the TV since it's from 2015.

I don't think it's the machine. I think it's the version. Who knows? Some alteration may not have been merged into the PS4/PS5 version properly. All I can say is that the PS4 (albeit on the PS4) version seems more stable. I haven't tested the PS4 version on PS5.

i had to reality check myself today when i got home from work.

i really do need to remember on my improvement journey i have come a long way from when i picked sim racing up again and with a little more focus than casually playing.

i got home swearing to myself on the drive from the office that i can improve my time and get in to the 1.49s so i've just done 30 miles (after driving 20 home 🤣) and i did improve by 2/10s to a 1.50.062 and looked at the leaderboard and that is a bloody good time for my skill level. i need to stop trying to be at the bleeding edge and race more again is the moral of my story.

tl:dr stop pushing for times so hard and embrace the race more again Glen!

When you get hit off track early on by the first place car and then after a failed block by said car on the straight you then punt them off in a fit of red mist only to watch the replay and find the first hit might have been an accident 😕
Click to expand...
That's the main reason I don't take revenge on anyone. Most the time I did, watching the replay shows a different story. Sometimes the guy was hit beforehand and just rebound on you or sometime like you said, I fail to identify the bad guy correctly.

The other reason is I'm just bad at it. Since I'm not a dirty driver, when I want to be one, I fail miserably, taking myself out in the procces.

@mellofello9 great time you have on The Nord, you are at the top of my leaderboard by quite a margin. I will probably put a time before the end of the week. But for now, I really enjoy starting from behind and try to follow / avoid anything the track and people throw at me. You really have to care and not be in a hurry. One race I just had to follow a fast non-qualiflyer and he just barge pass trough anybody in front of him. It was ugly.

Thanks! I missed you guys too. I wish I could do VR without getting sick, but I think I've mentioned before that I get seasick standing on a dock (true story), so I'll just have to be envious of you. 😂
