Tbf I've been on cleaner wreckfest lobbies. He was 2 cars ahead on the grid for the 3 times I did daily race c every time someone come near him or he went near someone else just see clouds of smoke and a car off on the grass. Then someone dive bombed him and sent in flying great too see. I don't get the mentality he's a quick driver too he must does it for the attention on YouTube etc. Surprised he hasn't been banned yet.

They (PD) seem nonchalant about banning players. I think the only reason Dinisio got banned is because he was using multiple accounts for FIA races

The M6's handling has been sanitised. It is much less snappy than it used to be IMO. Plenty of traction on the RS tyre, too. Not much between it and the Genesis for me. I just need to learn the track, especially the line through the bus stop.

[JRFrench]

Just switched to the Genesis and within 3 laps was well over a second quicker than I was yesterday. Might give the M6 a try again as well, don’t think I’ve used it since the update.

Had 4 enjoyable dialy race c last night 2 wins and 2 3rds bumped my driving rating up nicely too.
Something about the track that just gel so nice with it in the genesis.

Nice one, is the Genesis the car to go for you reckon? The ones I was in seemed to be mostly using the M6 but I haven’t got on with that car before, and the rest made up of Genesis and the WRX.

After my first few races being more like a demolition derby I ended up in a better group and had some good results. Although one of them I was so in the zone battling for the lead I forgot to pit which was stupid

More importantly though, everything seemed really stable and didn’t have any issues. Have I read somewhere that they’ve now separated PS4/5 users to try and help this?

Yea seems BMW and genesis are top of the leader boards with genesis being better during race easier on tyres. Daily races are split been a while like it now believe manufacture is as well now.

It's weird because guys like him really ruin racing for no reason whatsoever I could understand if players had history with each other but he does it to everyone so you either wait behind and let other get close to him then pass punt him off which will more than likely get a pen or attempt a pass and wait for the contact.

I seem to always have things on on your race nights. Figure I should add in a shameless plug for the league I race with: https://www.facebook.com/groups/medwayracingleague... they race every night of the week and it's generally clean driving

They're closely matched. My opt is 1:42.1 but I can't put the lap together yet. Worryingly I can't get the opt into the 1:41s in qually. People are doing that in races. I can't replicate the front end grip the fast people appear to generate.

What's the gold, silver and bronze record finishes thing about then? Not seen that before?

[JRFrench]

Think it’s for the online championships and time trials if you place top 3.

[ferrisbueller]

On the online time trial in the sport lobby if you finish within a certain %age of the top time you get an award e.g. 3% of fastest time is 2 million credits.

[Norbury90]

Thanks guys. Sounds like its time to miserably underperform in the time trials!

Ah that’s interesting, so it’s basically a tier based system then and everyone should get something? Or to get bronze you still have to hit a minimum time?

I'd have to check bronze, expect there's a minimum qualification set at something like 10%, similar to how the license tests work. I did my usual; Got to 2.9% and parked it. Will check back just to make sure the fastest time isn't improved by too much.

Makes sense now that I’ve actually gone on there and looked! Done the same as you and just got a solid time in for now, interesting car to drive!

Chundersteer.

There's no incentive to do anymore than the minimum required to get the gold.

[rampageturke]

Got plenty of engine swaps now thanks for the glitch

These things are fun, and frankly fk PD for locking this fun content behind a 1/1000000 chance of even getting 1/3rd of these swaps

Agreed on both. Didn’t spend too long on it but was amazed how much time could be gained just by unloading the steering slightly earlier.

3/10ths off gold and I can't get close to my own time now. It's not a car that can be driven with a pad. I'd go as far as to say it's a complete pile
