The track experience was indeed a lot of easy cash, spend it well :)

I had a good race as well today for a change, moved up 12 places (didn't qualify again) in the 8 lap race with a nearly clean race (blue ranking yet no clean race bonus, someone got nervous in the sharp corner on Dragontrail) The whole field behind me had red rankings, few in front as well.

I did see an DR.S player yesterday, GTAcademy2013. Shows how good matchmaking is when I'm in DR.D lol. The SR.S field must be very small.

Well there probably aren't much SR S DR D players =]

Congrats on the race.

The curious part is that on the first corner I got two bumps behing and even gone to the green zone on Senna's S curve of interlagos... but it counted as a clean race.

It was no different when I was in DR B though, same mix of DR D to DR A players.

And indeed the clean race is sometimes unexpected. Sometimes I swear everything went perfect and no bonus, other times I got rammed off the road and still got it. Anyway congrats on starting your clean race streak :) The only way I managed to complete the 15 in a row achievement was by starting last and being extra careful to be far away from other players. Damn it sucked to get hit at a streak of 11 lol. The most I got to when actually racing was 4 in a row.

Cleared the track experience (time trial) in about 3h play...I thought I wouldn't be able to pass Nurb, but I managed it with couple seconds to spare... was easier than I thought, thanks it wasn't like challenges or the GT5 time for gold trophy.

Also had my first satisfactoy race online. decent qualification in 7th, clean race with very few mistakes, finishing in 2nd.

Now I'll have to play online until the career mode doesn't launch.

"Doesn't" launch?!

But why...?! you can essentially play the career today already...you just have to build the races yourself in the custom race mode.

This achievement isn't related to trophies right?

I'm getting so much rammers in some racers... got rank down due to 2 suckers that every other corner would hit me. managed just 2 clean... best place is the ovals

How fast was this guy??? Because I'm seeing some qualifying laps on the best 10 that are unbelievable

He actually started second but still comfortably won the race. I never saw him as I started last as usual.
Indeed some qualifying times are hard to believe, and why is it usually a DR.A player from far away with a shitty ping time that is in pole with a 2 sec faster lap time than the rest of the field. Does the matchmaking put laggy players with DR.D class to get rid of them or something lol.

That clean race achievement is just for xp (10k for lvl 3 plus 3K mileage). Trophies are for getting a lot of wins and pole positions in sport mode. My conversion rate from pole position to a win is quite dire, damn first corner rammers... From pole to 7th or even 10th in the first corner has happened so many times ugh. Just need to get lucky that nr 3 hits nr 2 first, then get away.

Got 2 poles and 1 win so far.

but yes, rammers are very bad... will try to play at very early in the morning to see if everybody is sleeping and just easy win waiting for me

Just learnt some guys like to ram but don't like to receive payback

That's when you always get matched with DR.A players with those 2 sec faster qualifying times thinking the same ;)
Yet you can get lucky, start in third, seconds takes out first, and win! 80% of my passes are when the two people in front of me take each other out. It's classic, when two dogs fight over a bone.

Winning is mostly up to favorable matchmaking, let me know when you find the best time :)



Got my BB ranking

Yep, for those like me that aren't able enough, finding a good match helps.
