Daily Race Discussion

Hi, my advise, racing myself in D and C:

Start form the back (I usually do not do Qualification-Laps), let all the others sort themselves out in Chicane 1. Normally, when you get out of that, you are somewhere between 11 and 14.

Do the same with chicane 2.

After that, just follow you race. Avoid trouble, let the makers do their job in self-killing out of the race.

Works for me with race results normally somewhere in upper half of result-sheet up to Top-3

Daily C this week proves my point very clearly I think. After watching Tidgney's video and some of Rory Alexander's and Digit's stream (all of who are in top split), you could see the effect of the slipstream especially in high lobbies. There were many occasions where, due to slipstream, there would form a huge pack going into a corner and it would lead to a huge crash (Tidgneys video has a good example of this). I usually would always do St.Croix B if it came up, but I was quite surprised to see it in Gr.4 and not group 1 or 2 maybe. When it was a Gr.3 race at the same track it was such a good race, but in group 4 the slipstream is way too strong and I would much rather do race B this week :(

I'm brand new to this and I can't even imagine how we're going to get through Turn-1 in D-lobby :-(( 

Nope sorry this race gets a 3 out of 10 for me. It's a high powered daily race A. I'm getting flash backs of Daytona and sardegna. Viper has far too much straight line speed. Honestly this game does a good job of giving the illusion of choice. Straight line speed in circuit racing isn't true speed. People love the car that makes up for there lack of ability to take a corner. 

It will be interesting to see then how people get on this week with Gr.3 daily B and Gr.4 daily C. For me, in D rank, it doen't really make that much of a difference.

No worries.

Sorry for being a bit impatient... 

Thank you 👍

New daily races have been added. The logic hasn’t been changed, but the process is handled manually on our side, so some delays can be expected.

Wow, this track is unforgiving, but so nice indeed if you complete a race (or lap) without error... Like the Nürburgring, but then it's small brother.. 

Are there no future races for next week (week 10 2026) on the website this time? I usually see them on the website on Friday, but since there aren't any by now does that mean that they are changing something with the races next week that can't be predicted?

I agree, in B with Gr3 there is quite some mess and irrespect of basic race rules, sometimes quite frustrating; but I remarked it is often linked to the day and time of playing. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays being the worst, leaving 4 days to race and others to practice :-) 

Did some quite fair and enjoyable races this week. Waiting for next weeks Gr.3 weekly race. Online Racing ist quite fun till Wednesday, latest Thursday. But as the week goes by, the races start to get annoing, because it seems, the fair and good racers just quit the daily races, as the carnage grows, as later the week went. (Already stated by other usres several times here in this forum)

Absolute wonderful daily, this is the content that needs to be consistent in Gran Turismo.

Lets hope the tuning races continue 

I think the issue with Gr.4, especially in A/A+ lobbies, is that since the cars are so slow that by the end of the week everyone is so even on pace - to the point where you could qualify like 3-4 positions ahead with a time that is a tenth faster. This added to the fact that the slipstream is so strong in Gr.4 and tracks like Watkins Glen with huge straights are used means that the racing is absolutely chaotic, with packs of like 5+ cars going into the same corner. Contact is almost inevitable at that point, and racing doesn't feel as fulfilling, as it is almost luck what position you end up in. Such short races with only 4 laps only increases people's aggression, and therefore increases the number of incidents. As someone who reached A+ for the first time by doing a lot of Gr.4 races, I always avoided doing these races on the weekend, where all of these factors are taken to the extreme - racing earlier in the week on Mondays to Thursday/Friday is so much cleaner (this doesn't always apply, but is a general trend I have seen almost every week). If they just reduced slipstream strength and increased the length of the race, this race would be a lot better in my opinion.

Gr.4 is the only category I stand a change in. Like Alvaro says in D rank gr.4 is ususally a lot more pleasant. There is some tapping but not the huge pileups you get Gr.3. That said I got punted off twice in a row today at Watkins, lol.

I love this track!!!

It's tough, technical & one wrong move can cost you positions or give you positions. Overtaking is not easy & attempting an overtake could be risky if not done cleanly.

Glad there are no ROO's to knock us out, unless it's YOU, lol. 

Please guys, lets race fairly.

good daily. Always enjoy the evolution of tunes throughout the week

Gr.4 is too slow and easy, very boring indeed.

Thanks man

I dont think so. In mi rank D the players only dont know where brake. But no one try to crash.

I guess in higerst rank the drivers drives better
