Well, for race C it depends on the lenght of the race.Next week:
A - Road Atlanta (CS)
B - Grand Valley - Highway 1 (RH)
C - Le Mans - No Chicane (RM)
Showing all three races 1x for tyres & fuel, no pit stops, no strategy.
If its an 1 hour endurance race (wich I suspect could be), you should pit for tyres at some point.

Not a ton of actual racing in Race A this week but felt it was a jolly good car to hustle about with TC2 engaged. How some of you do it with no TV is utterly beyond me. I do feel I have bene making progress getting used to a wheel too, by last night I felt I was hustling not tip-toeing in races.
I may have been the wrong end of the result but how close was that for a finish 00.002 !!!!
I saved the reply for public view, first time in 2 weeks using VR so my first laps were sketchy to say the least 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately that again put me back into B lobbies and the ****e started immediately. They are disgraceful 😔. Anyway I'm on my other account at the moment and this isn't going too badly so far. If anyone gets a friend request from Father_Dougal80 then don't worry, it's me 🤣🤣

1 win tonight and a second tonight.
The 2nd was a no change in the NSX and I finished 1.4s behind but the traffic was pretty tricky to work through as there was a lot of fighting
The p1 was 4/7 with change and I caught the leader at paddock hill stayed behind for 3 laps but he was unlucky with a few tiny mistakes and ultimately running wide at Paddock.

Brought my NSX Gr.4's (default) Race C QT down to a 1:28.925.
Race 1: Started P1. A G70 helped me celebrate my 16th Pole Position by pushing me into a spin at Surtees on Lap 2. They waited, but the damage was done. Took new tires at the end of Lap 6. Finished P8. 😤
Race 2: Started P3. Pace wasn't great. Had a brown pants dorifto moment at Paddock Hill on Lap 5. Took new tires at the end of Lap 6 again. Finished P5.
Race 3: Started P1. Lost the early lead to an Alfa 155, but had fun trying to keep pace. Took new tires at the end of Lap 7. Had a very costly solo off at at Wesfield on Lap 8. Finished P6. 😤
Race 4: Started P5. Pace was decent. Took new tires at the end of Lap 7 again. A bobble at Surtees on Lap 10 lost me a potential podium. Finished P4.
Called it a day at race #400, licking the wounds of two very rare Pole Positions that went to waste. Ah well... let's review some statistics:
Clean Races: 133 (33.25%)
Fastest Laps: 13 (3.25%)
Pole Positions: 16 (4%)
Victories: 14 (3.5%)
Top 5 Finishes: 122 (30.5%)

@Chris30 yeah, had to really step back a while. Learning wheel and getting stuck in a rabbit hole of leagues where I proceeded to wreck out of 90% of my races, even while cruising and fuel saving. Needed a break. And real life turned qup to 11.
But having more fun now. Back doing more dailies and just fun stuff. Don't see many here online since I haven't booted up my US account in a year, but need to look at that.
As for someone talking about streamers, they get what happens. Run your race and if things are good or bad that's just the roll of the dice. Also assume over half the time they're not actually streaming or have less viewers than when my family sat on the couch behind me for a league race with my kids heckling me. (New style of streaming content for anyone looking to be different). We all know how well someone with a temper would handle that and I can think of at least 2 streamers I'd love to watch meltdown in that situation.

I agree, taking a break for like a week or two is understandable. Especially when you get stressed during intense races with baddies from the A club. That's a good analogy, it's like a roll of the dice. You never know what kind of lobby you'll get. Whether it's with a decent, friendly group or a bunch of egomanias that like to win and do any dirty things/tricks to do so. That's my way of putting it in this scenario.
Well, I hope you're doing well. All I've been doing is running laps in the qualifying mode, I've been steering clear from the racing for a while. I need to rest and get my mind back in the positive range instead of being negative and complaining that I can't be as quick as everyone else.

Looks like the 4C has taken over the leaderboards in race C. Someone found a tune? I don't know about race vs. quali. Anyway I can start in the middle and gain some places in the Trophy, almost up to C rating, (again) haha.

Guys, I need your help pls. I'm new to racing online, just got PS+ two days ago. Did my first daily race yesterday evening and it was pretty much what I was expecting it to be.
But now I just did my second race and I'm confused.
Daily Race A, I was in pole. At the left turn after the tunnel I was on the inside and P2 passed me, riding the rails on the outside. While he did this I saw that his car was getting transparent.
At the corners leading to the start/stop straight he was braking early. Too early for me. I hit the brakes with full force, expecting to crash into him but his car went transparent again and I drove right through.... I was so confused that I quit the race. What's going on here?

Because you have lower DR the ghosting settings are on max to stop contact.
Typically in the lower DR levels drivers are less consistent and less aware so this is the games way of stopping constant accidents.
As you move up the DR levels ghosting is minimal as typically people have better car control and consistent pace.

Thx for the reply! But I'm still confused. Does that mean I just drive like it's a hot lap and don't care about the other cars at all?

No on the contrary, to move up in DR and more importantly SR drive like there is no ghosting and focus on being clean.
Don't rely on the ghosting....I know this from experience...

Yeah, but I thought that Race A doesn't effect rating. So if I care about cars there and the others don't, it's not really a fair race, is it?

That's not the way to look at it, you can only race your way and not worry about how others are racing just be aware of them.
SR updates are typically on in daily race A and the better your SR generally the more cleaner your opponents will be. That is why it is important to race like there is no ghosting
1. Your SR will improve and get better safety rating lobbies and "generally" better racing etiquette
2. Its practice for when you eventually do races that impact your DR you know how to race, leave space and consistently avoid contact with other racers.
Having just started with dailies and being placed in lobbies where there are people like you who are just starting and don't have a lot of experience don't let them or this period create bad habits or incorrect expectations on how to race and what good racing looks like
