Venho notando que, como sendo um circuito muito técnico e que exige bastante perícia do piloto, o que acontece é que, na maioria das vezes, não é maldade quando você leva uma traseirada; simplesmente, foi uma pilotagem que o adversário não soube executar e sobrou pra você. Mas, isso não quer dizer que tem muitos pilotos que estão trabalhando muito sujo durante as corridas.

I had ten races there today, five on each account. Only TWO of them were okay-ish, the others all ended in disaster. In one of them I made unforced mistakes, but the other seven races were just... unbelievable, when it comes to driving standards. I'm not saying that everyone is dirty, I found a couple of nice drivers, but the majority is pushing, leaning and what-not. No one gave back a position. And lots of drivers missing their braking points. I mean, in slipstream you can't brake at your qualifying brake marker, right? So many didn't get that memo. I mean, I understand that you can't avoid everything, even when strictly applying the four rules. Even with a VERY careful and conservative driving style, you get pushed and punted etc., how can you stay there in a good mood? So many silly moves, such as three wide into the final chicane? Or trying to pass on that segment from T1 leading up to the tunnel? And when you then watch the replay, the all of a whole x-mas tree blinking, every possible assist active. I mean, I'm not a driving god, I'm using the Corvette, my qualifying time is on my account, it's not the best, but in the race I can keep up with most drivers using the new 911 (btw. I saw another Vette and a Mustang doing VERY well at Trial Mountain). And what's the point of using the meta with every assist on?

What makes me really angry is the vast amount of DR you lose, and you gain so little when you finish on P5 or P8 (when on both occasions starting on P11 and P12). Ten races, in two I gained less than 200 points, and in the other eight I lost close to 1,400. Yes, I can do the math, this is okay for eight races, but I think PD should find a way to let you keep your points when the downfall (loss of positions) was caused by other drivers. And in my first race I started from the back, finished on P9. I think I should have been awared a couple of points. Nope.

I like this track so much, but it got ruined this week...

that car is stning i just think the 922 is overrated sometimes and i'm D/S i don't know i've been here for a year so yeah by the way have you got any tips for me?

Providing tips is difficult, I may not be the right one for this, but I can tell you what I do. I have two main accounts, one is registered here, the other not. This other one is my "challenge account", currently using everything Corvette related. My idea was to get used to the Gr.4 and Gr.3 Vettes, so that I can feel comfortable at any track. Normally I set up custom races using my Corvette Challenge account, mimicking the daily race with the AI using the meta car, Sophy if available. Two-chili difficulty, boost set to weak (for disabling rubberbanding for the AI cars, which doesn't work if you are in the lead). By this I get a feeling for my race pace and strategy. After a couple of custom races, I switch to sport mode and do my first race starting from the back. Racing human players is obiously not the same as racing against AI or Sophy AI. After one or two races I will set a qualifying lap time, and go again.

If I feel comfortable enough, I switch to the account registered here, doing my qualy lap, then go racing. I try several cars, and this time, at the time of writing this, I was fastest with the Corvette, slightly quicker than with the Audi.

I don't mind finishing last because of my car choice or because of my lack of racing skill, but at least I want clean races, and that people don't behave like morons.

Yesterday I saw a guy on pole position falling back to P16 on purpose, then munching his way back to the front, using every elbow he had at his disposal, finishing on P3. I mean, he was quick, had very good pace, maybe an A/A+ driver in disguise, but wtf?

I'm B/S rated, and I just realised I got it wrong with the DR loss. 1,400 points not in eight reaces, but in five or so, since I did five races on each account, and only one is registered here. This is me: https://www.dg-edge.com/players/TCR_710-Cap_…

and yeah i did really terrible in the last brands hatch race i absolutely hate the car i used i shoulda used something else

hey man what's your rank have you considered starting back or maybe just staying out of their way lettig them go

Qualy time on the other account is a 1:53.9xx.
I wish the top players would use this car, I would like to know THEIR lap time with it.

Staying out of way is not always possible, you can't just wave by everyone.

I need to improve my qualy time, in order to start futher forward. Problem is, I REFUSE using the meta...
I was quite confident in the Audi, I will try the old 911, and the other yank tanks. Saw a Viper and a Mustang getting along nicely.

For starting at the back, I think as the week progresses, this will happen anyway... HA!

In my very first race on the other account, I started from P16, finished on P9, with no practice at all. Too bad I didn't save the replay for sharing on YT...
