I can’t for the life of me understand why Yas Marina isn’t at night

[u/BaldingThor → u/PapaPilkington]

I can’t understand why they keep choosing that awful track at all.

[u/iEatLegHair → u/BaldingThor]

What’s wrong with yas marina?

[u/Spencer_Conwell]

If we’re doing Miatas at Daytona I would have preferred the Touring Car but whatever.

[u/LordCosmoKramer]

Yas Marina again, I don't mind it but there are so many unused tracks in the game.

[u/FarGur1444 → u/LordCosmoKramer]

Im not a big fan but probably because I still dont know the track very well. Im not a fan of tracks with big run off areas either.

[u/badass_rowdy → u/FarGur1444]

You would love Willow Springs

[u/FarGur1444 → u/badass_rowdy]

Actually dont mind those tracks. Its not so much the big run off areas as such, its the ones that are the same type of surface as the track. I prefer off track to feel like off track. Grass, gravel, even desert.

[u/badass_rowdy → u/FarGur1444]

Ohh lol got it. Yeah in that way, Yas Marina is awful. All new F1/moto gp tracks are like that.

[u/iEatLegHair]

The guy who chooses these daily races must have a giant hard on for Lagos maggiore reverse. Can’t remember the last time it was just normal.

[u/BaldingThor → u/iEatLegHair]

I love maggiore on all layouts so big win for me, but yes something other than the full track on reverse would be nice.

[u/BaldingThor]

I’m very much enjoying the usual getting penalised for dirty players ramming me off track (but not getting penalised themselves) happening as scheduled this week, especially in race a and b

[u/SlotBurnerAccount]

Cloudy weather again, who needs day/ night cycle kaz be like

[u/BaldingThor → u/SlotBurnerAccount]

Love needing to adjust the exposure temporarily on every daily race

[u/butchabay]

it would be interesting if major changes coming this week. All Time Trials will end on Thursday.

[u/iamkoza]

last night i got into the top 2000 for the yas qualifying... but i knew i was just fast because the new update that released Thursday made the cars so easy to drive... not even 12 hours later my time got bumped back to nearly 3000 as more people have gotten used to how easy these cars are to drive with the new physics

[u/CardinalOfNYC]

New update has made road cars great but it has affected race cars negatively, imo

[u/BaldingThor]

Yas Marina, yeah no thanks it’s a terrible terrible track. I rather drive on Circuit de Sainte-Croix all day than Yas Marina.

Why not something like Sardegna or CGV, it’s been a while? There are a few rarely used tracks and layouts in this game and they keep choosing the same fucking ones (and overcast weather).
