is anyone else having trouble with these races? i seem to have lost just as many as ive won and more often than not if you "just" win a race you gain less points than you lose if you "just" lose a ra...
@WildeKnight07 SP points awarding - I haven't yet made first hundred of BRR races, but I think it is quite balanced and you can see same or similar mechanism in many games. Facing an opponent with same SP as you have, about 30 points are at stake - same if you win and if you lose. The better rating you have, the more will a loss cost you, and the less you can gain if you win. It is capped - I've never lost more than 50 points, but guess I won a bit more (57, maybe) after beating an opponent with SP 200+ more than I've had. Similarly, 3-5 points is about as low as it can get, I suppose.
And that trick for a perfect start was something @TheRealJony let off in another thread: push the pedal to the full throttle and hold. Wait 3... 2... 1 and right when the number 1 completely disappears, release. Though it is not perfect, I suppose I am getting much more perfect starts with this way than just plain old "tap lightly and quickly and try to hold to the green field". On my phone it depends heavily on its state. Sometimes I need to release before the number disappears completely (slight gray shadow), otherwise I overrev, but on other occasions I release at the right time and get a good start only, meaning I should hold even longer. Changing to a new phone soon, so maybe a better hardware gets me to more predictable behaviour.
After few weeks of racing I change my mind about BRR - I can't like it, it has to many bugs, errors, wrong opponents assignments (Super with Hyper just can't compete), etc.
Until it will be fixed I stop caring of it and race only 3x/day for daily assignment. I suggest any of you do the same, unless you have maxed CCX/LaFerrari. 😉 I don't have. ;]
