How's this event going to work with tyre management, no mandatory pit requirement.

Start with RS and change to RM? Will probably need to pit 2/3 times?

Lots of contact throughout the race. The key for me was a short shift to 3rd at every chicane. Staying off curbs helped alot as well. Demanding car

Just did the first slot, and on the first lap starting from 9th I ended up in 2nd - which shows how nobody could control the car (A DR btw). Every battle ended in some sort of contact. It was quite funny gaining so many positions from 9th but after that it was essentially a 14 lap time trial as everyone ended up so spread apart :( I'll take the points though

This combination is insanely hard! The car is already hard enough to drive, then they use CGV as the track, where it was difficult to even race around in Gr.4. Why do they always chose this car for Nations cup races because I don't forsee any proper racing happening in this car in lobbies below A+ DR.

I ran one race, got 13th on the grid, watched everyone bin it and came in 9th. Not bad for my First Nations Cup in C lobbies.

  Yeah, as we thought it is a full wet race with varying wetness. I took pole but made a few mistakes at bad times and finished 5th. This was my first Nations Cup entry so I was happy with 5th in rnd 1

Did the same, never stopped. Ended up alright though apart from dirty racers

Hey Noodles, you have to wait a loooong time for the rain to clear up during practice. I do believe it will be a wet race but just to be safe I waited the storm out to get some dry laps in.

Has anyone had a dry practice? Seems like it will be a wet race

Genau, es zählt jeweils der letzte gefahrene Versuch einer Veranstaltung und insgesamt zählen die 5 besten Ergebnisse der 6 Rennen

I have race three times this Event. I finished in 3rd, 5th and the last raste I quited after I crashed. Now I see, that I have earned 0 points... so does only the last race count and not the best one? I am lost how this works in scoring???

Many thanks for your Answer Digit. 

Obviously it was always clear to me, that it's not possible to earn 500 points for a win in a B-Lobby.

In the last Manufacturers Cup, i was also B rank in GT-2 but with much less DR points than now (think it was under 20000, now near 28000) so i thought a win yesterday would at least gain me more than 100 points, last cup i got 109 and 118 for a win, so 81 yesterday seems very few to mee. And i only did this race one time yesterday the slot at 10am.

But again, thanks for the explanation, i know it is not you distributing the points :D

 

Edit: should have been waiting a few minutes, now i realized you posted a Guide concerning the points, "...determined by the average DriverRating of all drivers in that race". So i guess that was the main reason.

The point system is a bit complicated, but I will explain it as clearly as possible.
Lobbies are based on driver rating. All drivers who enter an event are grouped into multiple splits according to their rating. For example, if 160 drivers enter, they are divided into 10 splits with 16 drivers in each. Because you are B rated, you will usually be placed somewhere in the middle splits.
Points follow the same structure. The top split earns the most points, and each lower split earns fewer. To give an example, the top split might award around 500 points, while the middle splits might only award about 100 points. This means that even if you win your race, you cannot earn top split points unless you are actually racing in that top split.
It is also important to note that only your last result counts for each event. Points do not stack within a single event, but they do accumulate over the course of the entire season.

How are the points calculated for each lobby? i did only one race yesterday in GT-2 (B S), started on pole, won the race but only gained 81 points. Today i see in the leaderboards, that the best GT-2 B Driver gained 131 points. Does it mean i was in a lobby with drivers that had less DR or there were too many worse drivers?  

Edit: or is it because i did the second slot in the morning? the later the slot, the more points you gain?
