Thankfully it was all going on behind me - people in front kept going off track, and I went from 8th to 3rd without actually overtaking anyone!You may have doneSome fairly snidey driving going on. It's generally people trying to minimise the damage from their mistakes. Then there's the ****** punt.
Aye, that is the truth!
You probably didn't realise but I was concentrating extremely hard, to the point where my head was hurting. Having to work the brake, gears, steering, throttle, conserve fuel and hold off other cars took a lot of brainpower. I had to let the green Porsche through as getting into a battle would increase my fuel consumption, and I was more concerned about that. You only got onto the back of me because I stuffed up No-Name Corner. I can't believe I managed to hold you off at the Bus Stop with only 1% fuel! 3rd is probably the best result I'll get...In another one with CLowndes. Drag to the finish.
Thought he got offed by that 991 again. I had a shaky start. The Beetle got ahead and battled with the front runners. When I caught up, the same green 991 had just punted the Beetle into the gravel. I was too far to do anything, but caught CLowndes at the final chicane.
I use the AMG GT3 because a) I'm very familiar with it and b) I find it quite stable, which gives me a lot of confidence. Most mid-engined cars I struggle with, however I can drive the Porsche. I did manage a 2:39 whilst short-shifting during 3 of my races, so that's a decent gain over what I did previously. But I only made it across the line with 1% fuel and on one attempt, I ran out with 2 corners to go. At least I know that the pace is there.What car are you using? Because, honestly, the 911, NSX, R8, and RCZ will all make it without issue.
The REALLY good guys are lapping in the 2:36's or less while saving fuel. I am hovering around 2:38-2:39. When I get a 2;40 lap, something has gone terribly wrong.
Traction control steal A LOT of time in the rain, so try not to use it. It steals a lot of time in general and there really isn't a need to use it.
Now, that said, I have run out of fuel with the R8 and the NSX, but both time it was because I wasn't properly paying attention to it. My mind wanders from time to time when I race
). I slid (literally) into quali for race B & have chipped it down to 1:30.846, good enough for 5th. 
both good & bad feeling, I got nervous didn't push to keep up the the top 3 before the end of 1st lap I had a gap of 6sec behind 3 sec infront so I decided to fuel save. Got caught & rammed to the back that teach me.
Sorry, not any more.... I pulled another 1.5s plus off my time. I don't think there's more than another 0.5 in it for the me in the Jag though, too much fish tailing coming out of corners.During the 15min pre-race qualify I somehow put in a Hail Mary lap and beat my time by over a second.. and passed @The_Tullster 's time.
"Pace and control" are what's making this race different from recent races.First ever race on Race C this week? On pace for a good race moving up from 9th to 5th on just the 3rd lap? What's that, wheel? You wanna die on me mid-race and spoil all of the good mojo I was having? Okay!
Grief aside, Race C is quite dynamic this week with the wet conditions. Pace and control are what really matters; one little mistake, and if you don't save it, you're done. Makes for some really close nail-biting competition when players who make mistakes up front have the whole pack who's been mostly consistent catch up from behind. I'll try again tomorrow in hopes that my wheel doesn't die again.
I liked it too, even though I did only one race and had it ruined due to my wheel acting up. In any case, even if aggressive players only stick to one line and just expect to ram their way through you, you can switch up your line and lose no time in doing so all because of the wet surface. Everyone has to slow down early and be at the same speed to make the corners without spinning out, so those who get greedy will often be extra careful, or will face track limits penalties. The prior race I did was Race A, and everyone was driving beyond their limits and using other cars as barrier-brakes or guides. You can't exactly get away with that in Race C without both players experiencing trouble.
