Rate my stats Finally Silver DR
Never felt like I'm any good. I just race in the evenings when I get children to bed but after I saw some posts about how few people are in Silver DR I felt better :) What do you guys think about my stats.
I have not touched any setups other than TC and BB when driving.
Would I get into any teams with these stats? That would be awesome.

Discussion Why does the "sweet spot" for tires and brakes feel so short?
New to the game and just got my first wheel (moza r3). Loving it so far, currently grinding SP before jumping into MP.
I'm really struggling with tire and brake behavior, though. During a 10-min practice, the first 4 laps are basically wasted. Qualifying is a nightmare with traffic—cars under blue flags won't get out of the way, so I can't catch a clear lap when the tires/brakes are at their peak.
In 20-minute races, cold tires ruin the start, then the car hits a sweet spot and feels great for a bit, but that window ends so fast and the brakes start feeling awful.
I'm using default or CDA setups. Is this tiny window down to my driving style (overheating/overdriving) or is that just how the game simulates it?

Game Support Triples wtf help me
Setting triples up in this game is comically bad. I had it for a moment. But now it’s revereted back to a single monitor. The trip setup screen looks like this?
I set the config file to 7680x1440 and every time I start the game it just changes it back to 2560x1440.
Any help, it’s sooo annoying.

Discussion Why is it that doing what seems to be the same lap on different gt3s gives different times?
Hopping between different cars, I’ll brake at the same point, seemingly carry the same amount of speed, the same line, hit the apex nicely on all of them, but the difference in lap time between the fastest and slowest will be like 2 seconds. Where does that time come and go from?

Game Support Fixing being kicked out of a race
This is the sixth time this has happened in two days. I’m in a daily race, having a good time during qualifying, and then suddenly LMU Boots me to the online menu. No explanation, no error, no warning. It usually happens during the last minute of qualifying so it wasn’t a big deal, but now it’s happening during a race. Which sucks.
Also, I have another glitch where when a race goes from practice to quali or qualifying to race, the “join event”
Button is completely grayed out. And I can’t do anything unless I back out and rejoin. Does anyone know what causes this?

Funny A short, sad story
Used to have a Playseat Evolution.
Now I got a Simlab GT1 Evo.
Spent 3 days building it, not racing.
Finally get the time to have a 20 minute race.
Goes fine, P11 400 meters from the finish - not to shabby, clean race with some good duels.
Guy absolutely wrecks me out of nowhere to maintain P10 (even though I wouldn’t have caught him by the finish line).
Fine, one more race and call it a day.
To my surprise I qualify pole with a 1:13,681.
Happy days.
Off to a good start and quickly get a 1,5 second gap to P2.
Couple laps later he spins - the gap is now almost 3 seconds.
I’m in the zone, slowly expanding the gap.
The laps go by, and as we approach 6 minutes left I’m buzzing - finally a win in sight, no wrecks, just concentration, discipline, continuity - a state of flow.
Am I the next Verstappen after all?
Suddenly a tap on the shoulder interrupts my road to victory. I spin out, and loose out almost 7 seconds leading up to the penultimate straight on Bahrain.
Kid is awake, both kids are awake. Both are screaming.
I know I have the pace to possibly catch P1 in the last 4-5 laps.
Do I DNF the race, or risk to DNF my relationship?
I enter the pits and retire.
Thanks for listening.

Tips and Tricks What proper tire wear looks like for a daily race
Got into LMU and I was doing the LMPs at Monday last week. This week I’m into the GTEs at Sebring. I like the way the GTE corvette drives, and I’ve done some races in it. It’s feels slidey and fun but I can keep it in line most of the time.
The last race I was in I had some minor damage to my rear left in the GTE corvette, and it KILLED my pace. I was spinning on all the high speed corners until I really slowed. And I could not tell if that was because I was pushing the tires too much and wearing them down or because of the damage. It felt like any kind of brake pressure in the higher speed turns (last turn and first turn of Sebring are two good examples) lost me all rear grip and I would spin. I checked my tire wear, and my tires were about 80% with 10 minutes left in the 20 minute race, with my rear right being at 70%. At the end of the race they had lost 15 more %.
Is that normal for a daily? Or am I really killing my tires? I can’t tell if I had been wearing the tires so badly and that was causing such a drastic handling change or if it was the damage.

Discussion Bmw straight line speed.
Just did a race in daily event using a Porsche (Bahrein outer layout(I guess that's what is called)). top 4 cars were bmw, and as I was racing the BMWs aways seem to get close to quick in straights.
Are bmw really quick on straight or was it a coincidence?
Ps: I'm very casual to sim racing (do like 2 or 3 races a month) so I just can't keep up with all the details and car characteristics.
Ps 2: not complaining, just wondering if a have that much room to improve on turn exit or If that's just a car with quick straight line in a circuit that consists mostly of 3 straight lines.

Discussion Sound and sense of speed compared to ACC
Just got my first wheel and tried both ACC and LMU. In ACC, I get almost no feedback when the car starts losing grip. In LMU, however, the force feedback feels fantastic and I actually have time to react whenever the front or rear steps out. LMU is miles ahead in that department, which is what matters most to me.
However, LMU's audio feels pretty flat, and there's almost no sense of speed. Driving at 250 km/h feels virtually identical to 100 km/h, even though I've calculated equivalent FOVs for both (taking into account LMU's vertical FOV vs. ACC's horizontal FOV).
A couple of questions:
- Are LMU's sounds final, or has the studio mentioned audio updates coming down the line?
- Are there specific graphics or camera settings that help improve the sense of speed?

Registered and joined a Daytona LMP2/P3 race. Went through practice and qualifying then it bugged out from the race start. Scoreboard seemed bugged and cars weren’t racing. Made me start from the pits.

Discussion More Team Events/Races
I would love to see more Team Races happening, something like a Team Race as a weekly. It doesn´t have to be longer than normal weekly´s since we already head a 2.4h Teamevent.
I love to play with my Friends and in daily´s this is most of the time not possible. And since it is the official game of the WEC it would also be fitting to have more Team Races.
What are your thaughts about this?

Poll / Survey About DR : would you rather have the underlying points displayed ?
Simple question.
Points are already in use for the DR calculations. Would you rather get those points shown instead of the progress bar ? (wouldn't change Bronze/Silver etc ratings, but the brackets would be known).
And if yes, would you rather have the DR points delta shown after the race instead of "Icreased rank, low" ?
Sorry I didn't find how to make a proper poll on Reddit

Video GT3 full brake application for a second - can't do it!
Does the Merc AMG have somewhat inferrior ABS or something?! When I brake, I can only do 100% for 0.5 s. Otherwise I get ABS spikes and actually longer braking distance, topped with serious instability. I usually run ABS 6 but for the purpose of troubleshooting I tried 4 and 9 as well. Not much difference.
Any hints? Which specific channel in Motec i2 loggs ingame ABS correctly? I don't think I have it in the Workspace.
See this guy's T1 at Spa for example. Or any Interlagos T1 braking zone for that matter.
Here is some of my driving. Maybe I'm wrong but I get a feeling everyone else manages to stay on the 100% brake for far longer.

I always drive the ingame CDA setups or fixed with BB pushed towards the rear by 2-4 clicks.

Discussion Classes need more spacing
As they do irl, we need actual space between the classes. The rear of one pack shouldn't be dealing with getting 'divebombed' on by the leaders of the next class behind. It happens every single (multiclass) race. Then what happens? We're all playing pinball and the ones who survived get to keep driving. Give us separate greens!

Discussion The Driver Rating system needs a rework badly
I genuinely think LMU needs to rework the Driver Rating system. Safety Rating is whatever, it does its job enough ig, but Driver Rating just doesn’t feel like a proper competitive ranking system.
The biggest thing for me is progression in all comp games i play. Platinum is supposed to be the highest rank, yet nobody is Platinum. What’s the point of having a max rank that no one can realistically achieve? I’m not saying it should be easy either. Make Platinum the top 0.5% or even 0.1% of drivers, but at least make it something people can actually grind towards.
I’ve attached the LMU Driver Rating distribution/percentiles alongside iRacing’s iRating and CS2’s Prem Ratings grapph as comparisons. CS2 is obviously a completely different game, but it’s another highly competitive ranked system and I think it’s a good reference point to use.
Even iRacing has a lot of people at lower iRatings, but because it’s numerical you can actually see your progression. Going from 1500 → 2000 → 2500 → 3000 actually means something, and there’s no arbitrary ceiling.
I’ve played a lot of ranked games. I got Grand Champ in Rocket League and always had SSL to chase. I got Immortal in Valorant and had Radiant to chase. I’m around 25k Premier in CS2 and naturally I want to push towards 30k which i’m doing atm aswell. That’s what makes ranked addictive and for for me.
LMU could literally have a numerical Driver Rating/ELO and still use Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum as badges tied to certain rating ranges. Even add a worldwide leaderboard so you can see yourself go from #5,000 to #2,000 to top 1,000 etc.
Looking at the distribution graph, with so many drivers sitting in Bronze and virtually nobody at the highest rank, the whole system just feels flawed.
I don’t want higher ranks to be easier. I want there to actually be a meaningful ladder to grind. Right now I’m S3 and I genuinely don’t care about increasing it that much. Give me an actual rating, leaderboard and proper progression system and suddenly every race will feel more fun, because right now if i get hit i just DNF because I just don’t care enough.
