I've never tried that car... Will give it a go ššI took a couple of p1 finishes in the Lexus.
Have to disagree with you there (imo) have done 2 races this week at brands, started 10, finished 4 at BS and just today had the first 4 cars including me with QT of 1.30.7xx, started 4, finished 2Brands is awful for racing, it really is. Even people trying to be clean hit each other, it's a circuit suited to a Lotus SUper 7 not a large touring car.
Itās a fine track to race on, if you know how to apply pressure rather than lunge.Have to disagree with you there (imo) have done 2 races this week at brands, started 10, finished 4 at BS and just today had the first 4 cars including me with QT of 1.30.7xx, started 4, finished 2
Both clean apart from a chap today in 3rd blatantly blocking me from passing but dispatched fairly quickly just missed out on the win by about 8 tenths in the end
Come the weekend Iāll leave it and do race A, I guess race B will be carnage then
To be fair people forget to brake all the time, I've done that a few times to. But I do try highlight good driving with the stars of the week. I only mentioned plebs of the week due to the thing I'm doing that I want to submit to PD. I don't want them using the video series but something else I use in the background once it's finished I'll be happy to share.4 races at B so far.
1 win (first one)
4th some absolute moron in a 155 decided that it was cage fighting not racing, got to the front from P9 in 4 corners, there was bodies along the way
1 win first a supra in first lost it
Quit: clearly a friend of the earlier Italian had no concept of racing, not even the illusion of racing just carnage
@Tidgney as I said in the comments I think these videos highlighting crappy driving, yours, murder of the weak stuff and all the shorts create unintended consequences.
There is a substantial increase in controller users (anecdotally) and they are definitely benefiting from the latest changes, but there is also a massive influx of people who arenāt āracersā but players.
The thing that is really really boiling my piss, is that Iām 493rd in the world for daily B, Iām in high B low A mixed lobbies, not starting pole. This is all fine this how we learn and progress.
Being absolutely murdered in to the first hairpin for the 3rd time tonight is not people āforgetting to brakeā or not knowing there markers, they are top 1000 drivers, and that takes effort and laps. Itās become a tactic or some sort of bragging right. There is a lessening of race craft.
Iāll be completely candid, if we saw videos of ādrivers of the weekā versus murder of the week pleb of the week āweād see more people want to emulate cool overtakes and recoveriesā but people shown the negatives makes it a normal prolific thing that starts to creep in to acceptability.
There is a reason those videos do so well, people see themselves in them (metaphorically) and itās easier to excuse and promote bad driving than it is to make good driving fun and less chaotic.
Correlation is not causation I know but more bad driving videos, more bad driving happens, it fuels the content pipe and hype, couple this with improved controller handling, more people coming back to the game post Xmas and some of these people probably left the game early at decent levels DR/SR wise.
As much as I appreciate the penalty efforts and reporting efforts, itās the fundamental mentality of the players who just think this is the right sort of behaviour.
Won the last 2 and then was t-boned by a recovering driver, honestly not their fault but Iād expect a slightly less 90 degree rejoin but wasnāt deliberate so annoying but fine.
Won the next 2, started pole and basically people are idiots.
I just donāt understand how they are so fast but canāt keep up or brake, itās very much a conundrum if Iām being honest. .3 back QT so Iād expect them to run the same pace as meā¦.nopeā¦
As I go back to my earlier post, highlighting poor driving is going to be the tree that keeps giving. Will it improve standards

No it wonāt when the top 10/20/50 percent of the game donāt feature.
Mellow said it earlier, there is some rage in the water at the moment and itās pretty ****** to race in if Iām honest.
The problem I have is that the qualifying tyre is so much faster than the race tyre. I think that causes issues because people aren't prepared.Would be great too if most people realize that what you do in qualifying isn't necessarily going to translate during races. Racecraft includes the ability to qualify well, but qualifying well isn't racecraft per se.
Isn't it the same tires for the races and their respective qualis? š¤The problem I have is that the qualifying tyre is so much faster than the race tyre. I think that causes issues because people aren't prepared.
Did you take the 5 additional days of PS Plus into account? Originally my membership (bought this past February) ends today as well, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have extended my membership by 5 days because of the online network outage in February. So maybe you can get to see if todayās Daily Races (or Manufacturersā Cup event) are to your likingMy PS+ expired last week, this week's offering isn't exactly encouraging a renewal. š“

I must really like this week's Race A. I haven't won a race since GT Sport, and I finally got rid of the egg in my Sport mantel by notching my first win in GT7.

Granted it was given to me (started in 3rd, and for some reason the first two didn't go at race start), but I'll take it! š„³
