I have to ask, how people married with kids manage to squeeze more gaming time from wife?![]()
A freshly ahhh, “serviced” wife is much more likely to be ok with you going to do some racing.

Just wait to you get old enough,all you have to do is suggest a "service" and she'll go "wouldn't you like to race a little, honey?".A freshly ahhh, “serviced” wife is much more likely to be ok with you going to do some racing.![]()
I don't know how. Luckily my wife has gotten into some Netflix series so she plugs in her headphones and tunes in once the kids are down. Special lobbies like @Pigems involve some 'negotiating' and set up. Hence why I can't get there as often. I can usually get on just after 8 but if I have a morning shift the next day it is a short run.I have to ask, how people married with kids manage to squeeze more gaming time from wife?![]()

hmmm something weird happened with my quote for reply, but my post is in reference to the question of game time with wife n kids hehe
I'm married but don't have kids. During the day it's easy, my wife always has some project or rearranging or some things she's always working on. As long as I occassionally come out and check on her, move a few heavy things, I'm good. It also helps that's she's a bit of a gamer, as well. It's evenings when she wants to hang out, have dinner, watch a movie, stuff like that.
Thats hard but managable, like recharging hybrid in gr1, little braking and careful on throttle![]()
Don't know that you will need a super fast qualifying time to get up to A there. I have been starting mainly mid pack or lower the couple days I have raced. Just kept moving up and avoiding the chaos without wrecking myself and the points have been appearing. That said I had a run in with a right 🤬 this morning for my 1 race that bumped me to A. He missed the start, so bumped or shoved 4 of us off that got near or ahead of him lap 1 because of his mistake. I accidentally ran him wide onto the curbs on the exit of the Hillcrest hairpin after he bumped me wide a second time as I got near him. Favor returned near the end as well when he caught me and pushed me totally wide but not spun out with a dive from 0.5 back going into turn 1 near the end.Nice vid @Pigems.
Ive done some Autopolis from the back today also. Good clean fun racing I found. I was using my sons low B rated account. I wasnt sure how i would do, but made it to podium twice.
So how is the week going? I was struggling for pace Monday, as its a new track and car for me to learn. After trying all the cars i decided to knuckle down and get to grips with the GTR was a toss up GTR and Lexus. Did a few 30min quali sessions and got down to 1.37.9 i was made up with that.
Tommorrow we see how i do trying to get into A rated on my Acc .. think ill need a 1.37.5 thou.
See you on track

On my alt UK account on race b yesterday and this was a replay from my stream of a racer with fantastic 1 red bar internet taking a penalty with a difference lol.
Well my first race c didnt go well Started 11th ( QT 1.37. 9 28KDR door num 12) finished 13th. Lost 800DR in lobby of A / A+ and a SS. driversDon't know that you will need a super fast qualifying time to get up to A there.

Had he not been such a 🤬 at the start I wouldnt have taken the move on him and could have probably had a CRB. Oh well. There goes the streak of 4 CRB I had going.
I swear these SR S ratings are just participation trophies at this point. A whole lobby of them and yet 6 laps into race C I actually got so annoyed with it that I quit the race as I'd been shunted off so many times. Literally turn 1 I'm pushed blatantly off into the gravel and any time I make some progress I'll have my brakes used by someone else. I think the penalties aren't strong enough, costs me 10 seconds to get back on the track and up to speed but they get a 1.5 second penalty.

I bought the game the day it came out. I don't remember the price but I got a discount for pre-order.The game is not really new, they are working on the next version, they have given us, free of charge, tons of updates along the way and yet people complain about lack of updates.
In my world that is disrespectful. How much did you pay for the game?
I know I got a lot for my money. If I calculate by the hour it's amazingly cheap!
Many more to comeHurray - just won my first ever C-race (in a B&C/S mix) Started 3rd, changed up too early and ended up 4th, until 3rd place took out P2 at the first corner. P1 pitted on lap 5 and came out 8th. I then had a 1-2 second lead until P1 man caught me on the last lap but lost it at the hairpin at the top of the hill. I had cramp in my left hand after lap 7 due gripping the controller so tightly, lol.
Full of joy, I tried a B-race - started last in my Viper, behind a Vantage and 14 RCZ's. One guy dropped out, and I managed a clean pass after one RCZ got dirty with another.
Sr should be deducted in every contact too, for all parties involved
AFAIK SR is deducted on every contact. There is the punt: -sr on both of you. Then you run off track: -SR for you. If you also run into a wall then -sr for that too.Best way to do it at this point imo. I got the classic punt in turn 1 at Maggiore, went off track, got 2 seconds penalty and and lost 4 SR. The other guy finished 7th and blue SR.
I'm always super careful and this stuff rarely happens to me, also I don't care anymore, but if you do care I can definitely see how this stuff is frustrating.
The races always gets messy when you have a lot of people driving a car they aren't used to. There is but one line and they can't sway from it....Warning all mid-B, 99SR EMEA drivers;
Race B remains a pugfest, but is now a sideswipefest as well. Dangerous in there. Had to claw back to 5th purely from being knocked about, people very unaware out there, and then lap 3 naturally ends up getting dirty as people have cemented their grudges. Not many places to hide on this track without losing a bag of time.
