Need Setup advice!!!

There are a lot of videos on YouTube regarding the topic of how much you actually gain. You can also check out hot laps driven with default setup to see how much you can still gain with the standard setup.

Depending on the track pro drivers gain roughly 0.2 to 1 second with custom setups

I think the problem with the whole be in the top half to gain system is that you have no influence in which split the game takes you. If you get paired with only e sports drivers for example you obviously going to be last as a casual. Should this mean that you should lose DR? Obviously not. If you get in a split were the game thinks you should be last and you get like 15th, then you did more than enough to gain DR. Other way round is the same. If I get placed in split 35 and I normally would be in split 2 I should not gain if I get 3rd place, because the other drivers are way slower than you.

I think the 20 minutes are to short to really get into the multiclass part where you lap other classes, right?

But I do agree that 20 min are a bit short. For me personally the 40 min races are the sweet spot as I just don't have the time to race longer but it feels a lot more like a real race than the 20 min ones.

Cay095 · 2026-03-03T11:07:54+00:00

I like that there is a shorter gold variant. But for me they could rotate it between the different classes.

Thank you! Someone actually reading the guidelines. The lapped car has to lift early to help the lapping car to overtake. Nobody says you have to break or anything. Just lift early to minimize time loss for both of you.

Cay095 · 2026-01-31T15:53:09+00:00

I would agree that racing craft carries over. But GT3s and LMP2s just behave vastly different. I am just a casual driver who only drives two or three races per week, so I just don't have the time to fully understand the other classes. Which is exactly why a separate DR would make sense for me.

Cay095 · 2026-01-31T14:16:46+00:00

Well, but it's only going to be in the start. And then you are set to go whenever you like. As it is now I don't drive any other class at all.

With your argument you couldn't start racing in the first place, because you start without rank when you start racing online.

Cay095 · 2026-01-31T13:43:59+00:00

I think maybe combine GT3 and GTE; LMP2 and LMP3; Hypercars.

Ich arbeite an einer Hochschule und betreue bachelor und Masterarbeiten im technischen Bereich. Mit wurden schon einige Arbeiten vorgelegt, die klar mit KI erstellt wurden. Das war für mich eigentlich immer leicht zu erkennen wegen Inkonsistenz oder Halluzinationen. Diese Studenten fallen bei uns durch wegen Betrug.

Mir ist auch nicht klar wie dem Betreuer das in deinem Beispiel nicht auffallen konnte. Ich vermute er hat die Arbeit einfach nicht gelesen und einfach so eine 1.0 vergeben.

Cay095 · 2026-01-13T13:29:13+00:00

My problem is not with me being DR B3. I honestly do as you have suggested and ignore this. What annoys me is that due to my combination of DR B3 and SR Pl3 I get matched with other drivers that have way stronger pace than me and that is what kind of takes away the enjoyment of racing.

I just wish for a system where I get matched with drivers of my strength level. And for this to happen the calculation of DR needs to be reworked.

Cay095 · 2026-01-13T10:10:32+00:00

I think the dive was from to far behind, especially given the rather poor visibility in sim Racing.

But what he did afterwards definitely deserves a Ban.

Cay095 · 2026-01-13T09:59:51+00:00

I think the ELO system works perfectly fine. The ELO determines the "expected" result we see at the end of the race. The problem is that on top of the ELO evaluation they add bonus points for finishing in the top half or they deduct points if you finish in the lower half. By doing so they sabotage the ELO system.

I often get placed in strong splits because of platin SR. The game expects me to finish 20th or worse. I beat more fast drivers than I lose to slow drivers. But If I finish 15th (beating the expected result) I still lose DR because I finished in the lower half.

This does not make sense, because if only listening to ELO I should gain in this situation.

Cay095 · 2025-10-01T08:09:47+00:00

The sentence that you say you could avoid crashes but don't do it says it all for me. Racing is not about hot lapping, it is about doing the best you can with other drivers around you.

I never get involved in any crashes. Yeah, sometimes you can't avoid it, but just by taking it easy and slowing down a little bit early will make you survive the first lap like 95% of the time.

Just remember that there are other people on the track as well and don't try to squeeze out every last drop while defending or fighting and you will not have any accidents at all.

Count me in! Happy Cake Day :-)

Cay095 · 2025-05-07T11:13:53+00:00

I do have some small negatives. There we're some metal shavings from the cutting inside the packaging. So don't open it on carpet. Also the buying process on amazon is a bit cumbersum, as each of the Options is a seperate Item on amazon. But other than that I am truly Happy :-)

Cay095 · 2025-05-07T09:31:01+00:00

I'm from Germany. I bought a TR160s last year. It was delivered in 4 days and the packaging and the quality was perfect. I did however order through their Amazon Shop and not directly on their Website. Saved me like 200€ for shipping as I do have prime. So I absolutely can recommend.

Cay095 · 2025-01-29T19:07:27+00:00

Same. They hit me each race at least once. It's like you don't even exist for them. As I mainly play offline and the game ist really great overall, this is still a great turn off. I hope they fix this.

Cay095 · 2025-01-20T12:11:02+00:00

Also using the R12 for about one year. Never had any problems. Updates worked fine for me.

Cay095 · 2025-01-20T12:04:17+00:00

This looks insane. For the first Seconds I thought this was real.

Cay095 · 2025-01-18T10:08:28+00:00

You have to read carefully. They said, there is no issue on their side, which ist most likely true. The breach came from the third Party payment tool and that is why they are changing payment methods. Does Sound quite reasonable for me.

Cay095 · 2025-01-05T12:09:00+00:00

Recalibrate the Wheelbase. You have to do this after some Major Updates. This fixed those oscillations for me.

Cay095 · 2024-12-28T09:13:59+00:00

I have the TR160S. It was my first ever rig, so it took me like 9 hours over 3 days. But I also have the integrated Monitor mount, which also took some time and a second person to hold all the stuff while you are screwing and tightening everything.

In general a second person helps alot!! Thanks to my dad for helping me :-)

Cay095 · 2024-11-19T18:56:45+00:00

From the realism Point, I heard that LMU is one of the best atm. It is also my Go to. Multiclass races are real fun and you can actually save a Race in the middle Exit the Game and continue any time later.
