I'm also struggling to find speed this week. I guess I'm just slow with this combo. I had to point something out to you, though. There is (typically) much more time to be made up in fast sections, than slow. Because you cover more ground at high speed. I find that slowing down going in, and getting on the gas earlier will net bigger gains than pushing on the brakes, or trying for ultimate corner speed. Of course, I still can't seem to get out of the 24's this week.
Sven said if you get an SR down, along with a time penalty, it's -10 SR points. If you get SR down and no time penalty with it, it's a lower amount. Maybe -5?Got a SR down last night cause I hit the pit wall, with 1 lap to go. Finished with a blue SR and stayed 99.
I gave up trying to figure it out a long time ago.
Yes sir. I just did an FIA race and had one SR down for rear ending someone at the chicane, but got a blue S at the end.
This is my Q lap for Le Mans:
P8 in EMEA, quite happy with the lap honestlyFirst time getting top 10 in the world as well

all week.
I had an identical week. Maybe 2 decent results, the rest crap luck. Mostly clean racing. No complaints there. Close to the pack. Unfortunately at the back end. Similar drop in DR too.I’ve had a very unusual week in race B, I’ve performed very well in just about every entry but have had some sort of tiny mistake or bad luck that costs me a lot in the final results. I almost dipped into DR C from like 18-20k DR at the start of the week.
Examples.
I’m able to lap consistently in the 1:39’s, and near my lowest dip I was basically supposed to have been handed a race win on a silver platter. Started pole and was never contested once in a single corner, managed to pull a hefty gap even with some mistakes. Final lap with a 7s lead I took the final high speed sweeper slightly too wide and touched the gravel, managing to spin five or so times before coming to a stop. Lost three positions. A Porsche spun in the death chicane, and another guy dove into the sand in the final corner, and I managed 2nd. This was my best result all week.
I had another where I made a minor mishap of the death chicane on the final lap. It wouldn’t have been that much of an issue but my nose dug into the left wall on the exit and for some reason my car didn’t seem to want to break contact and was sucked on at a weird angle. The game deemed that a 5s penalty for wall contact, and I lost out to a pack of five cars (7th to 12th) from the penalty.
I had three poles, and at least half my starts were in the top 4, in fact rarely do I remember starting lower than P8. The racing overall l was really good and I had a lot of great battles, but the circumstances surrounding my finishing positions and DR tank had me

I see Nordschleife is up next, hoping that can be more of a happy place this week. In fact all the combos look good so far but I don’t yet know what the provided cars are gonna be in races A & B.
Yep, that's the answer^. I got away with a lot of things in that lap funnily enough, including this absolutely filthy Tertre Rouge cut:The penalties at LeMans aren't very consistent. There's at least 3 things in that lap that I've been penalized for. But sometimes I get away with it.
Either way, that was a great lap. He's way faster than I am.
Yeah, that's what we have to do.
I was definitely quicker in the Supra. It's faster. I just prefer to know I have a more stable vehicle in my hands.
This.
