Week 32 Daily B: Red Bull Ring GR.4

Sì,bisogna stare attenti ai limiti nelle curve altrimenti le penalità in questa gara si pagano a caro prezzo.

Pare che nel cordolo alla prima curva ci sia un punto dove lo puoi oltrepassare senza prendere penalità e questo non piace a molti.

1.36,735 credo proprio di essere oltre il mio limite al momento anche se qualche cosina da limare c'è ma dovrebbero allinearsi i pianeti per far uscire lo swing dal giro,prendo l'ottimo risultato personale e lo porto a casa 2 mesi fa ero lontano di almeno 1/1,5 secondi da queste classiche a tempo.

1.36,899 eeee però....🔥

i agree with the car that drives well but some meta's do feel really good on the track like for me r8 on deep forest

The more I race sport mode, the more I'm reminded DR isn't a representation of driver's skill, instead its really just an expression of a driver's average results. I believe a smart driver with a thoughtful approach to the game should inevitably rank up given enough time. The unfortunate thing is due to misaligned incentives the ranking system will also promote unskilled and unconciderate drivers. In a perfect world DR would not be viewed as a goal, a reward or a trophy but simply as a means to group drivers of similar skill into the same lobbies to even the playing field.

I know i'm not the norm, but I just drive the car I like, the car that I feel I can confidently drive well. It's rarely the meta b/c I hate that Porsche and I don't do well in FR cars in general, but there are always exceptions. I probably won't drive the Atenza or the G70 because I'm so bad in them, its embarassing 😖  I am also not skilled enough to win every race and I don't expect to finish in the points every race, so I don't even care if the car I'm using isn't advantaged, I just like to race, and using a "slow car" makes me drive that much more consistently and cleaner - to extract everything I can out of it 🙃 

Achieving "A" level DR isn't a realistic goal for me, so I am not too worried about having to get good at handling the usual metas, kind-of a nice perk of being casually competitive, I'm not boxed into using the same car as everyone to capture every 100th of a second possible.

Yeah, that's way easier on a level playing field. I'm often like, "oh no, not the usual metas", trying a different car I fancy but am 0,5s off the pace and get chewed up in the races. Then I hop into the 992 or G70 and my first or second lap is already faster than after 15+ minutes in the non-meta. 

As much as I would want to grind it out, the metas are not necessarily unfairly unbalanced, the G70 and 992 aren't the nicest handling cars, but their drivetrain layouts allow to fire out of corners where turbocharged FRs like the M6 would kick out its tail and that is faster for most players on medium level, that's why they are meta most of the time. There are indeed other examples like the Viper's straightline speed giving you an unfair advantage, but meta is mostly about how easy the average player can extract laptime, and everybody's fighting for laptime.

I like the Supra, but it absolutely gets murdered by the AWDs on RBR, so nobody uses them: FR-only races or at least a selection of unused and similar cars would definitely mix that up.

i thought it was a nice challenge when PD forced a FR-only race at Circuit de Sainte-Croix a few months ago. made a lot of us choose a car we ordinarily wouldn't prefer - but isn't that the point? get outside your comfort zone and further enhance your driving skillset? i'd like to see them do more of that (occasionally!) 

Yesss

I think mee too big penalty 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 annoying
