Hello mate, literally the sight of you in my lobby gained me half a sec a lap 🤣 I think I actually got 20 wins since last Monday, I’ve really enjoyed the glen and the civic and I guess with the non DR lift I’d have been in AS.@brockie Nice to see you today - I did a good job of holding everybody up for you to get a big lead in that 2nd race
I got caught up in some kind of revenge punt thing - that Italian chap just pushed me and some others straight off the track then he got taken out by someone else.
didn’t have too many A+ drivers today, so could fight clean and generally won most, towards the end of the day it got abit dirty - I guess they all had enough of me 🤣
Back to reality next week 😁
But I do love those kinds of combos, I can remember Mini Cooper at shorten Alsace reverse, arbarth at maggoire short & this one ranks right up there!
Thanks for the help though - legend 👊

It’s literally going into all corners in third and pulling away in fourth, even the uphill turn before the penalty line, I saw many racers smash my time in the getting fed up with me stage 🤣
I’ll get a few more in tomorrow morning before work and before my run and fingers crossed we have a good week next week 🙏

Did my last three race A this morning. I really enjoy this combo, managing the FF with it's infamous torque steer was not as painful as I expected. Hope PD keeps that one make race going for Race A, it's really fun.
Got three poles this morning but I still can't figure out where to brake for turn 1 at the start of the race, thus making the race more interesting.
So Race 1 I brake early and 2nd bump me lightly. I don't get a penalty but i don't have the racing line going in the uphill esses and I have to lift off. Of course, half the field could pass me before the chicane. Nevertheless, I put my head down and push the rest of the race and got the win.
Race 2 I brake too late and I get a penalty, drop 2 places at penality line but head down and climb back to win.
Race 3 I can manage turn 1 better finally and I can keep first through the race finally.
I have to say, morning crowd is less competitive and the room are not always filled up. I'm well aware I wouldn't be as competitive in evening racing.

We often talk about a 4th category for longer races etc, but maybe a gets DR ranked again and the forth race is the feeder racer in to sport mode?
I've not turned the wheel that much some of it family time and most of it I can't really be that bothered this week, looking at the streams my pace isn't as far away as I thought but my motivation levels are near zero.

Had enough of the civic for this week, 3 more races today and 3 wins 🏆 my aim was to repair my battered SR rating and I have achieved that 😉. It did help that I was starting on pole for all of those races and once I survived turn 1 it was just a case of keeping the head down. I did get my QT down to a 1.56.2 which got me in the top 500 at least, I just don't see the point in trying anymore 🤣. Tried the F3500 earlier...it's interesting 🙈 it's fantastic in VR though. I'm going to concentrate on the cup now on Wednesday, I stupidly signed for Genesis and after 3 laps regretted that decision....I hate it 🤣🤣🙈 Might switch accounts and stick to a good all-rounder like the 911 I think 👍

I picked the McLaren which has the pace but very very full on to extract its strengths.
Also if there is weather it's probably the most compliant of the contender picks.
911 or GTR/lambo will probably be the strongest cars for all 4 races but the Genesis well driven is probably the fastest car out right (for my alt I'm going corvette just knowing it isn't great in weather but an alternative to the Genesis and Supra speed wise)

I just knew after a few laps that it is not going to suit me, I cannot explain it better but I do know I just don't feel comfortable with it. I will go with the 911 for my Alt account and most likely the GTR on my US one...keeping my options open 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I will have to just plod along so 🤣🤣🤣. It fits in with my new work schedule so I will just enjoy it..I actually chose the GTR for my alt account, got 4 laps in and an army of teeny boppers invaded our pub so now I am on baby watch 🙈 hopefully get in some more practice when wife gets away from behind the bar 🙈

Doesn't take long away to go completely dumb on the controls. Hadn't raced for a bit but jumped in C this week anyway. Mostly qt laps trying to remember how to drive...then switching cars and starting over. Started early this morning thinking the place would be chill. Nope. Elbows out smash fests with the adrenaline cranked to 11. Too early for that 💩 but managed to keep it together for P6/P4/P3 finishes on P1/P2/P1 starts. Not the results I'd hoped for but could've been a lot worse. Way too stressful so bailed.
Came back to run one later and glad I did. Won't bore you with the whole thing as P1 went off L2 and I was all by myself for the rest of it. Ended with a 12 sec. lead so confidence restored. Monday should tear that down, lol:
EDIT: Pardon the stupidity with the editing. Looks like you can skip the whole first 1:30 of me being button dumb. 😔

Summarising the weekend at DF I can only say that the amount of "plebs" is drastically increased. Went down to 1:31.916 just to be sure to keep myself on front row, so I started all my races either from pole or front row but one. Only two wins without any contact. All the rest was (few wins also) a destruction derby all the way around. I can't count how many times I was "forced" to the back of the field, to then climb back to front positions (sometimes in a quite rude way, but if it's "wide elbows out" I can keep those wider than how some dumb can imagine). It may be due to the nature of the Alfa? Was maybe the threshold for contact's penalties lowered by PD. Don't know, but at a certain moment I went for full retaliation against whom liked to punt me or used my sides as braking helpers. Don't really mind to serve 4 sec penalty, if it's for a good cause. The funny thing? Almost no impact on DR (marginally different from last week, but no losses at least). Lots of impact on SR though, I was demoted to A (being S since several months) and needed to restore that also, wich is now back to S. I very few occasion I met some very good drivers to race with, clean and respectfully. Those were however outliers compared to the average.
Edit. I'll share later tonyt some collage of explicatives replays.

Hey guys. Sorry for asking something that's probably already been discussed, but apparently the DR thresholds have changed - specifically A+ top has been increased to 150,000. Is this true? So all I need to update in GranTracker is the top-end? Or have the values for each tier changed?
Thanks.
Thanks.

No.
Only A+ rating was changed. It is now 50k-150k rather than 50k-100k. All other letter tiers' DR are the same as before.
