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?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

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.

Edit: I'd love the Porsche GT one but I've just blown half of that budget on VR....sim racing is a slippery slope! 🤣

Yeah I think it's worse with the R92CP which is fantastic considering the meta car is the R92CP. I don't know how they didn't notice it in their own testing to be honest?

You are probably right on that.

This week is a bit meh both race wise and TT wise, usually I can settle on something for the week but this week there isn't a lot grabbing me.

You would have imagined someone would have piped up and said "is it normal that I've lost all my fillings driving this car and have carpal tunnel syndrome now?"

The mind boggles sometimes with PD.

Edit:

Just done 2 daily Bs and apart from the god awful wheel oscillation the racing is a horror show. Not deliberately but the nature of the cars.

I am absolutely out this week sadly, no no no not for me.

I tried one at lunch and I have to say, I won’t be doing that one all week that’s for sure.

Not sure 5 laps Le Mans interests me either, they seem to have over done things last week and now we are left with some rallying, which is a good track if I remember from the drift trophy for the plat.

Did see @Barney Da Dog hit a .57.xxx 😵‍💫 in B

A week for getting the menus done and cars collected

I ordered VR which should be here tomorrow on Wed so that's one saving grace this week a new toy to distract me from some less than my taste races.

Ooh nice mate! I reckon 5 laps Le Mans could be really cool in VR!

Enjoy!

I've only done Q laps, so far.
It takes some time to figure out how much downforce you want.
You have to find that sweet spot where you get a lot of speed, but still can make it through the turns without losing it.

 

[Goanaut]

Race A: I hate dirt so I'll pass.

Race B: I like qualifying at HSR but racing should be hectic. But going to try at least once. If people are going meta mostly than it's perhaps less chaotic than in Tidg's video?

Race C: Probably shameful to admit but I dont know the circuit at all. Should be s great chance to get to know it, but I dont like killing SR for bumpdrafting. Do you stand any chance of you don't do it?

The cars are so twitchy and the margins sooo small, especially if you have a grid that has done extremes (SIC) the speed differential is big even with the meta car.

It's chaotic in my A/S lobbies no where near top split stuff.
