Please be aware that the data may take a while to fully populate, as all the times have been reset.

It's a shame, I'm doing nothing else than quali laps this week. That's really annoying. I'm now quite exited which car will be the new meta. 

same here...a completely different experience with the Mercedes AMG...Brakepoint Chicane was between 100m and 150m (at least for me)...now, its even short after the 100m. The car feels 50KG heavier. It feels like I´m driving on the meds and not on softs anymore. Best time now a 55.2...nearly a second slower than my other (5!) times. 

And yeah...lokks like the meta is gonna be the Genesis...right PD...congrats! This week is in every matter broken. I love GT but this has become really annoying. 

 

Edit: ok, now i´m back in the 54´s but, anyway, the car is different from monday or tuesday...

No cheating. 992 is weaker and the whole game feels totally different. Breaking points changed, everything feels changed (physics) in my opinion.

They should give them a lifetime ban

I'm not even gonna bother with this one. I've set 3 gold level times and they've been deleted because of cheaters apparently. This one can go fuck itself

Yes, it looks like. There are also no DR update or stats to see.

After a week of racing Gr4 I'm happy to drive Gr3 cars.  I am discovering this circuit for the first time in a sim. Feels sterile like many other modern tracks but there are interesting corners to come to grips with. I espacialy like the two off-camb…

Sarebbe fantastica una daily che le Formula su questo circuito difficile e molto tecnico 😍

Hi, finde die Strafen sehr streng eingestellt, aber ansonsten mag ich die Strecke. Heute first try ohne Qualizeit zu setzen von P 14 auf P3. Kann so weiter gehen! Grüße

The worst thing of this situation is, that right now I'm only driving against aliens. The matching is complete crazy. This will be a wild week.

But that’s only the case in the morning and late at night. I can’t complain; the races were mostly clean.

Good to know. I was playing last night. Will give it a try today.

How many more times am I going to have to set a lap? Cheaters should be stripped of points and put back to E DR

Well, this week's been a real fuster cluck so far, hasn't it?

Although I'm not invested in the whole let's-set-a-really-good-lap-time-and-etch-my-name-near-the-top-of-the-leaderboard aspect of the game, I understand many people are and this situation must feel very frustrating to say the least. Let's hope it lights a fire under the staff responsible for this sort of thing over at Polyphony Digital and they take the actions necessary to fix this once and for all.

As for me, who's really only interested in what happens on track between the green and checquered flags, if I squint, PD's clumsy attempts at mitigating this exploit's impact have taken Sport mode (squint harder now) a very little bit closer to my ideal: have drivers set their qualifying time in conditions that mimic the start of a race immidiately before they take to the grid. As in; one lap, cold tires, full tank of fuel. You get only one chance to perform and you should feel the pressure. IMHO qualifying must measure how well drivers can manage the tension between their desire to perform and their fear of failure. After all that's exactly what they'll have to do once the green flag drops.

By no means am I argueing against time trialing or keeping a record of participant's results on a leaderboard. This practice can, and should, remain in the game. However, its quite possibly the worst method to set the starting grid of a race. I'm willing to die on that hill.

This is completely ridiculous! Why did PD erase nearly all of the times? I did a 54.5 yesterday...for me like winning an Oscar. Even the times of the people in my list...come on!  I understand that some of the times are crazy. I mean, I try to follow…
Even after the results were reset for the third time, they continue to cheat.:((((

I didn't get that luck yet. I managed 1:53:7 then i wasn't able to reproduce it yet and now my best was 1:53:9 and 1:53:6 with a penalty in the last corner. Maybe later.

I guess it was reseted again.

   They have reset the leaderboards 3 times so far, hopefully no more.  

Oh no I really hope not I did a 54.1 which is even better than my previous times.

 

I don't know if I can stand aborting that many penalty laps again trying for a good time.

 

That time was good enough to put me on pole.

Too bad I finished dead last from penalties but that's another story.
