Looking at next weeks races, I'm feeling somewhat uninspired. Another week of grinding la Sarthe for my next car I guess. A Gr3 or Gr1 night race at la Sarthe would be nice pretty please PD. I doubt we will see any radical changes.. My impression is they are matching tracks with classes that actually race there, although they show clips of races that have never existed, like Gr1 at Bathurst
.
Or perhaps I should try one of those lunges in T1, seems to work for others...
I wouldn't mind any one of the three N300 Skyline GTRs.
🤬
So inquiring minds want to know if there’s going to be a @Pigems practice lounge tonight?
Yeah PD, can you not? At Brands, you’re only ever going to end up hitting the wall if you spin or forget to brake altogether. The last thing you need in that case is a 5 second penalty, which is even worse now that the penalty zone has been implemented. Wall penalties need a major rework in general, even in Tokyo where their existence makes actual sense they can be very problematic.Oh and I'm stating the obvious but wall/barrier penalties are not needed at Brands Hatch (except maybe on pit in) and many other tracks for that matter, so why are they there, there is no way you can gain an advantage by hitting any of them and it's just rubbing it in when you are belted off and then get a 3 second penalty for hitting the barrier.
Oh yeah, breaking my personal records. Race time down to 19:04, best lap down to 1:12.383
8 positions gained as well, never bothered with qualifying again so still starting with that 1:15.6 or so.
Out of 5 races finished so far today, 5 second places, 3 with fastest lap. Consistent, just always someone faster starting on pole.
Watch out for nr 5, bumped me off twice the race before.
Improved again to 1:12.337 Unfortunately an alien showed up showing off with an 1:11.122 best lap. There's always someone faster!
In the race before someone targeted me, took me out 4 times before the penalty zone could stop him, then he quit. No clue why he targeted me. I'll upload the first 3 laps in a bit. Most of it happened in lap 3 and he got my lap time down to 1:35 for that lap. I still ended up 7th in the end with fastest lap, but damn. Penalty zone failure.
Hmm, his profile is nothing but DR resets...
The race after I got a 4 sec penalty. Unfortunate lag spike, thought I had more room yet suddenly the car in front of me jumps back onto my bumper, then goes off. It's getting more and more messy by the race. Saturday afternoon in full effect, getting punted every race now. I gave the position back at the finish as it wasn't his fault the damn internet still doesn't work right in 2019. It cost me 5 places doh, oh well not racing for DR anyway. No fastest lap either as mr. Alien is still cruising at the front.
Ok enough, too messy. Still got 3rd but it's not fun getting punted off all the time. Mr annoying is back as well, don't want to race him. Heading out for a bit.
What are next weeks?
I was in a room that had only 8 cars still running at the end. It was just like I was really racing an '80s F1 car!
Oh I thought at least the race at Fuji was in the Super Formula for a change, turns out it's the same race we've had many times. Such an arrogant attitude from the developers.
I hate this part sooo much, but I guess its to stop people cutting the final corner and getting a higher than legally possible speed as they cross the line to start next lap.
