I seriously wish you luck
14 wins, 12 poles, 8 fastest laps. Back to a perfect 99 SR and gained a total of 6303 DR points. At one point early on was Top 10 Q time on Americas with a 13.669, finshed 49th Q Time (didnt care to try to top it). Check my work but pretty sure those updated stats are correct.
It's all in your head for the haters of this track. Yes, it's a short track oval (Bristol Speedway inspired), yes, its round and round in circles, yes, if something goes wrong its very costly, but what'sthe difference compared to the Monza chicanes, or Interlagos turn 1, or most of Bathhurst in terms of DR/SR? A wreck is a wreck. Punting is punting!
I'm trying not to hate on the haters of this track, but this game is, and always has been, about road courses and ISMA/Endro style racing tracks for sure. Though there is a discipline and consistency factor to a half mile oval in close quarters....especially with SR and DR on the line.
I only wanted to point this out today because of the thread, as I have followed this community since the GT Sport launch in mid October, and I respect the great feedback and helpfulness of the many great drivers, much better that I, that help those who look for assistance here.
Especially the Ciphers and Geologists of the world and others who constantly contribute to help others become better players. That's cool of you all to lend tips and tricks.
I only wanted to squash what I feel is an unfair review of this track here today. Yes, the real road courses kick this tracks butt. No doubt. Not even trying to rank this track outside of the bottom 3 (NIS, BMB, Toyko). I think the majority of regular Sport players agree with those bottom tracks for the most part. But there is a skill to oval racing, even sport mode oval racing, and not all good drivers can replicate that, nor want to risk it.
Northern Isle is Norther Isle man. Enter the Thunderdome at your own (DR/SR) risk. But I've had plenty of great races, clean races, door to door races, with many a great driver(s) out there. With many a great mulitple battles every 20-30 minutes repeatedly.
And for every punt/side slam/jerk driver I've ever encountered.....I, again refer to Turn 1 of almost every other track in this game.
(This post is not intended to change minds in any way, but rather give the opinion of "to each, their own" and to just play the game for what it is, the best online racing sim in the year 2018)
