Daily Race Discussion

I don't know how many races you did in the EMEA region, but you need to have a minimun amount of races to be statistically relevant. A tons of guys who race in the EU regularly, have a totally different experience. 

Also, keep in mind that a larger pool of drivers means that statistically there are more people that doesn't have better standard as the majority of EU drivers have (at least in A/A+ lobbies).

Honestly I just won't bother with that region any more. I'm in Oceania/Asia and I race mostly Japanese drivers and the consistency level and race pace is just a better standard. It's not always the cleanest but it's normally isolated to one driver and reputation precedes people in such a small pool of drivers so you can prepare for it. The EU servers/lobbies are just a mess from my experience. It didn't take long to get to a A dr in those lobbies so I think it's just a case of a lot more higher rated drivers with a lot less experience. At least that what it appears to me. 

Driving in quali and driving in races are two separate skills in their own right. The pressure in quali and during the race come from different places and require different approaches. Some people are faster in quali but make more mistakes in the race (me) and vice versa.

Not denying there are people who dont put in enough effort during the race to drive cleanly and fairly, but the former is more my experience in eu lobbys.

Interessante é ver a Porsche, como sendo o carro mais utilizado por jogadores, a meu ver, parece que é a marca que mais tem "identidade" com a POLYPHONE, sem condições. É meta em praticamente todos os circuitos.

Honestly, i understand your point but i true believe there is a misconception on your explanation. Qualifying is about all out, give everything and risk to spin or something even bad. I follow a lot of top grid players to learn from them and i don't see any replicating quality laps in the race, i see the opposite, i see them getting impressed once getting 1s closer to their qualy lap times during the race. I can tell about myself, i managed a way to to 1:59:8, but in the race, when on medium, i set the pace around 2:01 (low) or 2:00 (high) and its ok. You should consider the tyres, they don't survive if you attack like in qualifying. But in one point i need to agree with you, i've already faced player quicker than me that during the race seems to be slower, and i don't understand why...

Alright so I created a UK account to race against apparently fast drivers. And I have to say it's been an absolute letdown. I started the account got to A dr and the racing is horrible at A/A+. Honestly Iv backed out of more races on this account purely because of how jarring they are to race in. And what I mean is I'm starting anywhere between 2-8th respectively and I'm behind A+ drivers with 0.300-0.500 second faster qualifying times but they are SOOOO SLOW it actually painful, every exit is a lift to not run up there rear. I'm coasting a lot into braking zones because people are braking so early and just all in all inconsistent and difficult to pass Because surprisingly there not really clean racers either. I'm just in complete disbelief! I never just leave a race when I'm in the top 5 purely because the racing is depressing. 

like my qualification time is not anything special 1:59.510 my lap times are in the 2:00.900-2:00.200 at Suzuka but these lobbies are 2:01-2:02s just getting held up every lap every corner. How are these A+ drivers doing 1:58s and not doing 2:00.400-1:59.7s in the race? It's like a mid A high B dr lobby in my own region but at least they haven't spent 20+ hrs in qualifying to do a time they can't replicate. 

Adding weather would have been cool

Lots of good clean racing here this week! 

I like this little circuit a lot! Gr4 cars are perfect for it, too. Such fun!

I lost 1000 points thanks to the divebombers in this weekly race and I don't understand why they don't fix the problem! In this race they don't even give penalties! It's crazy!

PD is on vacation...more than usual anyway 😂

Audi, BRZ, AMG, Beetle, 458 Ferrari. The Supra was always strong here ect...ect.... there's a few if you know how to drive and willing to put a little effort in. This is just a perfect example of how everyone just follows blindly what the top time is and doesn't try another car. It would be absolutely hilarious if the top guys started just using some of the slowest cars each week and did there magic times they do. everyone would all think it's the best car and use it. Have a good week driving the second slowest accelerating car in Gr3 with understeer under power on exits if you don't hit the line correctly and apply the throttle smoothly. It's not as easy to drive quick the way people seem to think.  it's not as stable as a lot people think when your trying to extract the absolute maximum out of it. It's fun but! And looks killer. 

Suzuka again.... gr3 again... Porsche meta again... and hards💀

Finally Nurbugring GP is back. Thanks PD

Many cars competitive.....lol

I only just realized its reverse i was like that spoils it 😩😭

At le mans Porsche was meta...

yes definitely do you know the track experience for redbull ring like that but a race would be very fun

oh shitt..haha that would be too chaotic for the lower lobbies. i think the track needs to be simpler if its to be a B or A but if its a C then it would be EPIC! 

even better they should do nurburgring 2 laps with a pit or with rain

Thanks mate. I'm usually in the low A high B groups.

i really should just grind out some more quali laps and get into the 18s.

if I could just string my best segments together in one lap😩😩

Love it when they do unique races like this. 

Weird race cars are so much fun!
