Daily Race Discussion

Deep Forest AGAIN. Same tracks, same time of day, same weather, same cars, over and over again.

Ice skate grip and traction AGAIN. You literally just slide through most turns. Completely unrealistic for Gr.3 race cars on RM tires on a dry track. 

Polyphony doesn't listen to the player base and doesn't care at all. 

Again :O

I want to love this race, but being rammed from behind by wallriders in D lobbies is infuriating.

Only the top players like this race.

Mixing GT500 race cars with highly tuned sports cars on RH tires is too difficult to navigate for most players. The VERY unrealistic traction issues is one of the biggest problems in this game.

Suzuka again. There are so many tracks that are never used. We are stuck with the same rotation of tracks every week over and over.

The rain isn't consistent at all. It doesn't happen near often enough. I think it should definitely happen at some point with varying degrees in every race.

What most players want is very simple: more car variety with GOOD tires that don't slide everywhere, use ALL of the tracks in rotation, use both day and night times, and have consistent rain during rain races.

The "daily races" which are actually weekly races are stale after a few days and by the weekend who cares. There should be actual daily races.

Qualification should be before each race just like in the manufacturer's cup races. Your time there should determine where you are in the grid.

Also, it's impossible to tell exactly how close you are to other cars with the bumper cam view. That really needs to be addressed because it causes so many accidental race issues. The roof camera is too high and the downward angle is weird. I think the camera should be in the middle of the front windshield to give the most optimal field of view while being able gauge where the front of your car is in relation to other cars.

What a week we have ahead!

First post on the forum so go easy on me. 

Haven't played sport in a long time and decided to get back into it after finally building a rig.  

I really enjoyed this combo, I felt it quite a rewarding track getting the corners at the start and end of the long tunnel nailed. 

Hopefully next weeks B will be a combo that I'm able to master and get my A back for the first time since I moved over from controller to wheel 2 years ago then gave up lol

Fair enough. And don't take this the wrong way. But lap time differences between your races and my races are very different. There is a lot more stress on the tyres and at the pointy end of the field.  90% of drivers are using a steering wheel which is a lot easier on the tyres.i pitted 3 times in one race yesterday and finished in 3rd luckily. I also run +5 on the rears. I would probably shred the tyres in 2 laps if I didn't. 

It's fun because of that for me :D I last 7 laps (in 8th i lose left front in the last 5 corners) in Ferrari. I am doing race with +5 Rear brake bias on gamepad.

This would be a good race if not for the extreme tyre wear on controller. I'm killing a set of softs in 4 laps with the Porsche and 6 with the Ferrari . BOP is not balanced for this track. Bad tyre wear setting it should never be higher than x3. 

Agree 100%

This race is alright and at least the track has some overtaking options but is stretching the concept of a Sprint Race to the limit - 4 laps is awfully short, far nearer to 8 mins than the 10 mins Race B is suppose to be.  Quite a few times I've been approaching the line and thinking I've got one lap left to make a move on the car in front only for the race to finsh as I cross the line.

Usually when we get these kinds of events, the popularity tends to be pretty low. Not a lot of people join those lobbies because the cars are generally harder to drive. Still, I think there should be more variety in the daily races, they really need to include more Group 2 events.

Another big issue is how tough these races are to manage because of the slipstream. With the way Gran Turismo is set up, it’s almost impossible to properly race in Group 1 or Group 2. Following someone closely becomes really tricky, and that ruins the experience. That’s why the slipstream is currently set to a custom configuration.

If they could make it a bit easier to follow without completely removing dirty air, just tone it down enough so we can still stay close, I think a lot more people would jump in. There’s a really fine balance they need to find to make it enjoyable. And of course, they should also start using tracks we almost never see.

Why aren't there any Gr.1 or Gr.2 Daily Races, ever?

Just wanted express my gratitude to PD for these god awful dailies we've been having the last couple weeks. god forbid your playerbase enjoys themselves with some good track and car combinations. you genuinely start to wonder if the people in charge of the daily races get paid enough.

Gosh, Trial Mountain again. This Track, esp. with GR.4 will be anoying again.....

Just my 2 Cents: This weekend was Nürburgring 24 hours. Why not a race the Nürburgring this week? GR.2 on GP-Course or GR.3/4 on Sprint Course?

A fun race where a balance of patience, speed , and race craft will be very important. 

Those with no patience and all speed and aggressiveness will not have consistent results
