Daily Race Discussion

Finally reached DR A in my favourite track ;)

I like it. Hard tyres turns people away who in general can't steer and control a car. The best races I find are the ones that take actual car control. Most players appear to use the same car as everyone else each week, "the easy one" this race isn't any different however the control required to actually be consistently quick and not rely on the cars top speed and be able to maintain speed through consecutive corners is something I don't see many players being able to do. 

not for me...

I agree. It usually happen when there  is a track with many slow corners.

First time going back into daily races, and I'm welcomed back with all my races being involved with dirty drivers and wrecks as my DR and SR get tanked. Fun combination but yeah, really unfortunate for the driving standards

I concur and think most people forget they start on cold tires and they can not use the same breaking point in T2 as in quali. Especially not when they start further down the grid...

I have experienced to be punted in almost every single race starting from the front in T2. Then there have also been some antics with brake checking and weaving back and forth

so many dirty drivers here, it's sad that it's like that, it could have been a fun event otherwise

bad week overalll

yes, i agree

Skipping this week. Bad sportsmanship overall

Very challenging, like the green hell, but this is the brown dry version... I like it a lot though... the feeling when you finish without a scratch is indescribable =) though it is also a track that let's you meet evil inside you when you make a small steering error, haha

Willow Springs. Very challenging event. 

I'm hoping in one of these updates they will address the penalty system. They have spend countless hours on making it the most beautiful"Simulator" there is but the penalties are way, way bad I can't tell you how many times I've been hit then hit someone else they go of track and I get a 2-4.5 second penalty. Then the penalties for hitting another car are weird sometimes yes and sometimes no. Nobody is ever black flagged or given a pit stop penalty so they go on to podium or win and you got dead last from hitting the wall and given penalties for it. The point system is also so messed up NASA can't figure it out. 3 podiums can be erased with one last place finish. I get frustrated when I make it to C or whatever then get spun or wrecked and I'm back to D. Also why is it this amazing program will still take points DR and SR if you are disconnected. The racing is fun no doubt but when dirty drivers wreck you and PSN won't do anything to them it makes the game worth about 1/4 of what it cost. If you don't have Internet or PSN it's not worth a 10th of what you paid it's just a disk. If they want to be taken seriously as a "simulator" they need to address these issues and maybe do a pro edition the opposite of what IRacing is doing and creating an Arcadish version for child-young teens to crash out everyone without penalty. Iracing and ACC have bans from competing why doesn't GT7? 

Somehow I haven't had an issue with clean racing, but like you said it is a very fun and competitive race resulting in very close finishes if you get the right lobby.

If we could get some clean racing in it would be so much fun. But it's not been all bad! I tried the counter steer at strong and it seems to slow me down so I've turned it off but set my steering sensitivity to 6 (G-29). Seems faster and not as quick to get away from you.

Your advice just helped me.

 I recommend setting counter steering assistance to “Strong.” It makes the car more stable and can help you stay in control when things get hectic.
