Took some time to improve my laptime around Fuji, and practice starts so that I could keep up my race pace. Managed to shave off half a second to mid 2:02 from low 2:03.
Been qualifying on the front row until things started going bad.
Round 1 Grid P2 Race P5 - got hit at the first corner because a Taiwan player was going berserk. Ended up last out with a 2 second penalty and SR drop out of nowhere (screw the game it's f-ed), so I had to work pretty hard to get around the slower drivers to P6. Pretty disappointing since there were lots of scratches and paint exchanging. SR dropped to A because of that huge chain punting, despite keeping a very clean drive for the rest of the race. But I was real happy that I managed clean racing to the end form the back of the field to earn a decent recovery drive.
Round 2 Grid P3 Race P6 - another carnage run. Getting consistently hit by this dirty Japanese player that's kept weaving across the back straight and punting people out. Got a little fed up and sent him off the road, he dropped behind and lost his podium while I got a well deserved 5 second. At least I'm happy to do some justice while losing my SR to B rating.
Round 3 Grid P1 Race P1 -
Finally ended my long winless streak and my 2nd pole start. The race was decent until the first few laps were total carnage, got pushed down to 3rd while the podium covered only 1 second apart. We're racing closely until I managed to wrestle my way cleanly up and got punted off just after the long radius. So I stuck closely and drove tactically until the front two had a bit of drama pushing each other and running across the grass, still down on 3rd at lap 3. As the final lap started, I took the chance to follow closely and pulled off a wonderful overtaking trick to take the lead, with late braking and throttle turning technique that I developed while doing practice pace laps. It all almost ended when I got pushed to the grass on the final sector, drifting across the edge and getting it all together. The 3rd place has a penalty for shoving gave me a bump start and I took the advantage to rapidly boost my lead to a second. That pretty held on until the chequered flag for my 5th Sport win.
However, I didn't really feel happy about this win despite pushing as much as I could. Huge fall from SR S to SR C because of these plain idiots and the F-ed up penalty system. I mean, it could've been better if others didn't go for the punting and saved everyone their ratings. I had to review the replays to backtrack on my mistakes as well as others.
Whichever it is, I just find SR equivalent to S... Rating system. Sorry to excessively swear, but F the idiot players, developers and the game penalty mechanics, we do feel for the victims in here as well. At least I've got that race win right in your stupid faces. After a proper quest of winning at least a race, it's time to go back on building up the driving skills on the challenging Race B and C.

which one is it then? Cars that are good at straight line speed do tend to be cheesy (Gr.3 Bathurst + F1 GTR) but last time this combo was around I remember the Megane and the TT being the actual top cars on the EMEA leaderboard.
