I feel like a very lousy driver when I do a very good corner but the guy even darting and doing lousy late braking can still keep the car stable and pass me.... But sure as hell they doing this usually break my good lap time on qualifying... I had 3 very good laps ruined by people ramming in me. It's kinda of useless the yellow flag... the guy is spinning on the road or hit the barrier, are we supposed to just stop and wait he to come back? I got a 10s penalty for a very light touch that was caused by another and having to touch a little out of the track... I'm enjoying the race more for the wack of it... but SP still being better. Yesterday done Nurb 4 laps. A very silly mistake costed me 20s and the race (done pitless with map 5 on hard tyres, but on the end the tyre was quite bad even if showing like 60% still good). But I was surprised I could control myself so decently for 4 full laps. |
I made the mistake of starting that 4 lap race on intermediate tires, those didn't last. Then I did it on hard, simply pitted in the middle and when the rest of the field pitted at the end of lap 3 I was way ahead. Single player, always pit early, and rubber banding will work to your advantage.
The darting behind you could also be lag, and yeah the draft effect is quite strong. You have to brake earlier than usual as you're missing the wind resistance. Not everyone gets that and when they brake at the same time they'll run into you, lights flashing and all.
I guess a good strategy for the 10 minute qualifying is to get out first, set a good lap time, then slow down and make sure nobody else can improve their time by driving in the way... I swear I've seen people do that, move aside if you can't keep your speed up. It's a qualifier not tour mode!
