Ever join a daily race qualy, do a decent lap....I mean you have more but a decent lap...... then look at the times your friends set and your first reaction is to go to car settings to start adding more hp only tonrealise BOP is applied.

Chastening.

I'm a solid 5 seconds shy at road atlanta. Ouch.
Uhhh...I call that Monday. Am I doing it wrong??🤣
 
Have had a couple of good races in Race C, although it's basically just a drag race. The bump drafting is annoying too, not only because it renders the leading car a sitting duck, but it prevents the clean race bonus

The other problem with Race A is that the lack of DR adjustment means that you just keep seeing the same drivers in every race. When you're 3 seconds slower than the guys at the front, it makes for some pretty boring races.

In each race I did yesterday, the race broke up into two groups, the fast guys near the front who just ran off into the distance, and then a big gap back to the other half of the field scrapping for the lower places!
 
Race C seems to be mainly about the stability of the rig, if there is one. The steering wheel is just shaking badly the whole time. I used my most humane preset and it's still bad and I haven't even talked about the race itself. Let's see what happens in B, otherwise we'll just have to do A again.

Additionally, as I've mentioned in the past, the only negotiable factor is SR. And assuming you start with 99, the only way is down. Then we begin the messy conversation of what happens if you have an SR nightmare and then your DR will take a tumble, too!

Often these are the most interesting races, with the most nuanced driving lessons, and yet it's a perennially slippery slope.

There seems to be a high tolerance on SR - I only saw one SR down in 6 races yesterday (and no, it wasn't me!)
 
How do i do those cool helicopter Ariel replays?

Best I could find, nothing from a helicopter....😁

Kidding aside, those are from the Music Replay. Big thanks to @GOTMAXPOWER for mentioning in here. Had no clue and it's a nice option.
 
During my races on the alt yesterday I tried out some cars:

Vette - Pretty good. Not great, but decent enough to be competitive.

Viper - This thing is a monster on acceleration. If you're starting behind a turbocharged car, you'll likely gain a spot before T1; it also has good top end. Maybe having Toothless on the rear wing helped some. :D But, it's Achilles's heal us gobs of understeer.

Mustang - Don't bother.

GT-R 13 - Figured I'd give this old girl a whirl as I wanted to rock my custom @sturk0167 livery. Unfortunately, after he made this livery the 2018 model was released and the once META 2013 car was BoP'ed into a driving roadblock. But hey, that's what alts are for!

I did one qual lap in it and clocked a 50.1 (1.6 seconds off my Genny time). Started P3. Had some good battles with a couple Lambos (and boy was it inherent how good those MR cars are on the infield).

Good racing with you last night.

I hate CS tires! I’ll give Race A more chances this week, but the tire choice really makes the race less desirable for me.
Yeah it was good, I got my delta to my friends down to just over a second so need to find more pace. That race was actually going really well, i was pleasantly surprised but I made a small error, got a penalty then got absolutely mugged and pushed off the road by everyone.
