There are enough tracks. We could have gotten anything. Race B could be Barcelona or RBR Rain. RAce A NUrburgring GP or BMB Infield B or Brands HAtch Indy. PD don't know how to rotate.

I'll try the C7 tomorrow. Had a few good runs. RCZ is a dog. Not fun when turning. TT was fine(set my fastest time for the night in it). Just not a thrilling sounding car. Scirocco(turning) and Megane(mid-range & top end) are my picks for the FF of choice.

Don't know how the Viper would have faired. Race start, I got punted from 3rd, at T1 by a turnip RCZ. Lost touch with the front pack.
 
I could cry.

First Race A on my second account (ranked D) was in a room with Cs and Bs who barged me out of the way and went -everywhere- despite the 911 being a tricky beast to drive. Second one, I was doing well - both guys ahead of me went off and I thought I had a genuine chance until.... *disconnect from network*

I guess it's the FIA races this week.
 
GT500 was okay. Cars are spread out some much, only time to catch someone is if they make a mistake. Some did two stops. I just pit mid-race like the majority. Only the 2016 cars were in my race.
 
Looks like I'll just be working on my K'score this week, I ain't touching RBR as an actual race. Shame, fun track.

That’s why it’s great to have an alt account, you can always race no matter how bad it looks, while your main account is safely tucked away. :)

It’s great for practicing tracks you don’t know well or aren’t good at yet too. 👍
 
Hi guys if you want to have a good laugh, check out the replay I uploaded just now
It's tagged with ruzzwald, fail, and funny

Its the funniest incident I've had for a while
If someone could upload it on to here with their magic I'd much appreciate it because its an amazing clip

To summarise, Race A at tsukuba in the porsches
T1 the guy in P4 pushes through everyone into the lead
I catch him up by the hairpin before the back straight on lap 2 I give him an aggressive pass to say thanks for earlier and watch what happens and the rest of his face if you like cos he has some adventures let's say

I typed, "May as well be TCR Australia". I guess just make your favorite TCR/WTCR livery and bring an FF.:rolleyes:

Ah so another RCZ Cup, even after the BoP update. Just like I predicted last week. Race C it is for me this week (if I have the time).

Tsubakabakabakabakabaka is only worth racing if it's karts :p.

I have to say it's a fun track with the kei cars and a Sambabus on "steroids" (two wheel flip overs) but other than that I do kinda avoid the track.
 
Lmao just went to go past a slow driver in race A hit a concrete bollard and stopped dead.

But what if you have 2 alt accounts? Team account has the lowest DR, but highest SR. Technically, all of mine have DR B, so I guess I should preserve the SR. Main account it is.
 
Good morning every-one!

Race B for me was almost all I did last week. I think i did 1 races, came away with 5 wins in the top split. The Viper and Mt Panorama are just peanut butter and jelly. Luckily i was able to qualify up from to stay away from the DR mess in the back. Managed a 2:02.1 on Sunday from a 2:02.3. Every-one in the top 5 were fantastic to race against except one guy who tried to punt me from the lead on the last lap. I’ll post a video of that soon to shame this guy. I made an awesome pass on the inside and he rammed me in the next corner.

For this week, super pumped about race c, but it looks like there aren't any stops required just looking real quick. What races are you guys doing?

We just had a group 4 at RBR too. Im not a fan of being forced to use the RCZ here. I hate the way a FF car drives and feels. There are so many other decent cars in group 4, but they are basically useless because the FF cars have such an insane speed advantage.

Nice lol

I’ve avoided racing full Suzuka Circuit in the past, because I cannot figure out the two high speed turns (mid track - don’t know turn names :) )

I generally watch a video at some point for tracks, but not until I feel confident in my own technique, before looking at a guide.

After about 10 practice laps, I almos can take the turn and stay on the track lmao. Think I have to give in and check the video on this one before I’m comfy

Tsukuba is tons of fun ... with a penalty system that works right. With the SR system as it is where getting divebombed and rammed from the inside hurts you, it's going to be a nightmare. I'm so confused how PD can look at what's going on and think "yeah that's working as intended."
 
Was dreading going on Tuskuba but have found it to be a fun race, looking forward to a good week of racing and improving with all you race A Guru's :)
