Has anyone tried B yet? I did a couple of laps this morning before going to work (didn't even realise tuning was enabled!)

Report from Race C. Started last, didn't come close to any cars, took 3 track penalty = red SR.

Seems really easy to loose SR.
Edit: forgot to mention I hit the in the pit entry.

About the Bump Drafts... I did a Race C today. No penaltys, no incidents except some normal Bump Drafts. SR dropped from S to A :-(

Race A is an absolute boatload of fun. Windmills might be in my top 5 favourite tracks in the game, love when it shows up.

I had one race this morning Q8 to P4, the Nissan seems to be meta at least for now due to pure top end speed. I ran my trusty Hyundai N2025 and found myself quicker in the corners and able to overtake some cars including the Nissan. Looks like a good race for this week imo.

Race C does look fun! I think I’ll at least try doing some qualifying and see where I land.

Cracking set of races this week, something for everyone and completely unusual combos!

First off, congrats on the podium!!👍

IMHO, this is a prime example of why the way they build lobbies is just fine. You showed-up and felt you wouldn't be competitive yet finished third. There's a reason that can happen at all. It comes down to matching drivers based on more than just the simple B/S -vs- C/S moniker.

There's a huge talent spread from the bottom of a rank to the top of it. This isn't true when you're at the crossover point, though, so the further up your rank you go, the more you start to see the next level up in your races. The points system in the background is the 'magic' that makes it work about as good as any system is going to. Those points (that we don't see) define a lot of things about a driver, from pace to consistency.

Again, Op Ed...😁

Except when they do mixed DR lobbies they match people with a high DR at one level with those in the next level up who have a low SR. So a C/S driver ends up in a lobby with B/B drivers or even B/C drivers!

Now this may be because low SR often equates with low DR so the unsafe B/C driver has a lower DR than most B/S drivers. But I think it would be better if they grouped mixed lobbies by SR even if there’s more of a gap in skill and pace. Much better to race with safe drivers imho!

What setting on my wheel do I have to change to stop the mental wheel wobble at HSR peeps?

Will likely pass on Race A, as dirt's not my thing. Weird combination for Races B and C.

Race A: NSX Gr.B Rally Car - 1:24.171 Maybe I'll do a pad lap later.

Race B: Hyundai N 2025 VGT (Gr.1) with default settings - 0:59.585 Not sure if I should be allowed on a track with normal human people on this track with something this fast. 😶

Race C: NSX Gr.3 - 3:41.654 Maxxing out at 180mph, and it takes forever to get there. Might try this later in the week. So... I'm boned without the slipstream, and bump drafting murders my SR? Nice. 😅

FFB problem in general since the physics change. Car dependant issue, nothing you can do to fix it that isn't just neutering the wheel entirely.

Ah man that sucks, I haven't noticed it this bad before, and I agree I tried with turning the FFB down to next to nothing but then any fidelity is absolutely impossible without the resistance.

Thanks for explaining

Buy a bigger wheel? I run a 330mm rim. LOL.
