Well I'll let you know later if it's your supreme skill or a physics change that's brought about the improvement! I was 3:22.5 last time out in the Alpine but felt I could have gone quicker and focused on the Toyota once I started racing. I do tend to do well at La Sarthe.Most likely, unless if I can somehow pull a 3:19 before I have to start editing. Last time this combo was live, I was at 3:22.2, and I felt like I was pushing it back then haha. Same goes for now.
... then again, I have to make the Nurburgring video as well.
Thank you!

@GT5Power R4M is coming for my booty!
Also like your videos a lot mate, very helpful. Up there with David Perel's lap guides 👍
I love sound and the "feel" of the Group C cars. I'm not in to current le mans prototypes. 787B is so addictive. I love "my"
era of prototypes(I had tamiya models of these when I was in my early 20s/. Love this stuff). Here are my results thus far. Some real turnips ruining my clean race. Bumping me as I pass and then they throw their car into the wall and it gets me 5 seconds. I was A/S/ Now, A/B.
Back up to A/A.

Say what?Guys, its free DR week at race C again.
I just wish the group C were more competitive
I've been no stopping all night. Starting at the back. Besides the gifted places from "the crazies", the only car that was a problem, was an Alpine VGT on fresh tyres. It pitted last lap and I caught up to it, but it had that new car acceleration as I was on old tyres. A 962C won from Pole. Plus, that first race I posted, the 962C finished 2nd. If I was in the Jag or 787B, I would have stayed with it. They're all good. However, i feel, those two are the best all round Group C. Oh and excellent fuel economy from the Nissan. Can go Fuel 1 with 1.5 laps to go if needed.
I had a great week at Tokyo, tons of fun racing through traffic. These are the best results with fastest laps and a few clean race bonuses.
One of them (highlighted with door number 0) is from @Pigems lobby, fastest lap in the reverse grid start
My DR has more than doubled while maintaining SR.S throughout the week. Only once did I drop into the lower SR.S split for a race.
Friday was the cleanest, Saturday the best day for getting fastest laps and today was a mixed bag. Some really good races, but also a lot of split rooms, A/S and D/S with almost no B/S or C/S in between which meant getting faced with a huge gap to overcome between the backfield and the front. By the time I cleared the middle gap the race would be over. I could have won a lot more races than the one if there was one more lap, just had to be a bit faster. My best lap of the week was a 2:08.7 while doing mid 2:09's without drafting. Not fast enough to get near the aliens, but plenty fast for some good racing.
Here are the good, the bad and the ugly of some 20 odd races condensed to the length of one race.
Next time in the rain!
It’s a shoe with wheels.A coworker brought his toy to work today, I thought you guys may enjoy it, it’s a 74.

I know it's Garfield, but...
I like Autopolis too. And has advanced age.Just ran my first race of the week on n00burgring.... at least half the field look like they've never done more than two laps on the track and/or haven't bothered to practice in the Lancer. Start P5, finish P5, plus 500 DR, down 8 SR
With Q times in the 8 minutes plus range, it looks like about a third of drivers aren't even going to bother qualifying.
I may have to overcome my dislike of FF cars and race Autopolis this week. With slow reaction times brought on by my advanced years (they were never that quick to begin with) and lack of a wheel/pedal set, the Gr.1 cars aren't really a practical option.
On the plus side, I seem to be one of the few that actually like Autopolis.

He knows. Gr 1 is too fast, so it's a good thing he likes Autopolis, even if he dislikes FF cars
Yes, you're reading that right and you're right. I wont do Sarthe with Gr.1 cars, so I'm opting for FF Gr.4 cars at autopolis (and maybe later in the week when the n00bs have either given up on or learnt the circuit at Nurburgring, I'll try race B again).

However T1 at Autopolis is a nightmare with a grid start... SR is down to A for the first time in a while. Still gaining DR though...in fact I've hit my DR PB, cracked 13K
Yep. And I just got (another) one as a daily reward yesterday - I'll never drive the thing and I can't sell it, what use is it?

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I like driving the Gr.1 cars. I just suck at it 'coz my reactions are too slow and a DS4 is not suited to those speeds.
