Yo homies:lol: Im in work so bit bored... Whats your wish list for next week dailies? Ill start:
A. Interlagos gr3
B. Autopolis gr2
C. Any track except BMB in SFormula
Click to expand...

Don't care about the other two but Race C at Brands Hatch in anything please. :D

However PD be like:-

Race A at one of the small Maggiore tracks in some low powered car or selection of
Race B at Dragon Trail Seaside, in Gr4 so the FWD cars can smash each other some more
Race C at one of the Tokyo variants, in the rain of course with Gr3 cars so only the MR cars are of any use and there's the carnage that seems to be a requirement these days. :lol:

Woohoo! I got my 1st win at B/S rating at Suzuka last night!

Started P4. P1-3 all made errors in T1 or the esses to give me an early lead. Good battle through the first 5 laps with P2 and then I pitted. They went for a no stop. Caught up by the start of lap 9. They did really well to maintain pace and control and defended their lines. I didn’t want to ruin a podium with an aggressive, stupid mistake so I just kept the pressure up. Passed on the final chicane for the win!

Phew! Gr. 2 races are real butt-clinchers.

Dang! Finally a chance to fight for p1/2 in Suzuka and I went off the track for the first time in awhile :( lol. Down too p9. Finished p4 so I’ll take it. Next time!

Edit - it was not the first time I went off 130r following someone. I don’t know if it’s slipstream, or me misjudging the corner lol, watch out!

I've decided (after just two races) the newer Lexus is actually a better car in the race than the newer Nissan, especially starting from the back. The extra grip/stability allows you to overtake slower cars easier and do things that would be very hard to do in the Nissan. It has the pace too, no doubt about it, definitely worth a try if you are racing in the pack. ;)





Above is one of the races in full (two parts, before and after pit stop). I actually got no penalties too. :odd::eek::D

I always run the newer Lexus, it's a lot more predictable and stable and it's only a fraction slower.

I can tell you from what I feel, the aero is very tricky with Gr. 2 cars. Slipstream will slip you right off the track.
 
Man Gr.4 at Red Bull Ring sucks. Everyone driving the same car. Boring track warranting penalties for total jack****. Only reason I did a few races is because I haven’t decided what other game to play besides GTS for the moment.
 
This weeks daily races are trash. Everyone is racing dirty in all three races. Race A is full of first turn rammers, Race B is a dive bomber track full with Gr. TCR cars. Race C is a Gr.2 race, I hate Super GT cars, they handle like GT3 cars with comfort tires.
 
I'm having great time this morning at Race A. (Forget about yerterdays late night) :)
A victory, couple podiums, all in top 5.
6th consecutive clean race, hard fought clean battles, group of cars (maybe 5) in the same corner with no dirty moves. Unbelievable.
I will go for breaking my ccr record of 6 if possible.
I only wish i could drive this thing tcs0..!

Edit: 7th ccr with a victory but couldnt pull the 8th consecutive clean race.

Much "rip" yesterday from my Race B experiences and surely some of the craziest "dives" I have seen in recent weeks.

I think people seem to think the RCZ is a "tank" and that you don't need to slow down and it will bounced off another car and you can just keep going full speed ahead!

Still no sign of next week's races but hopefully that will show up soon as really want a week where I can actually go racing, that said someone gave the Peugeot the nickname of "Pepe Le Peugeot" so that's kinda stuck with me for a livery idea which I will reveal over the weekend!

Doing same thing and expecting different results is definition of insanity;) I didnt race even single one B this week, just set QT for Kscore... Whats more, I didnt race ANY gr4 combo without tyre wear in few weeks. I sleep better:)

That's me in an nutshell! Definition of insanity!

In da good way of course!

Only reason I've stuck with B is I really can't be bothered with the Gr2's at Suzuka and the Porsche....well that's still UGH on Sport tyres!

Ideally I want the coming week to be like the beginning of March where had Autopolis Gr 4's for A, BMB for B in Gr 3 and Spa for Super Formula again, it was a week where the SR/DR was good, I had some fun races and it was good to be in the Evo which is still one of my favourite cars when it can win.

Was looking at some old race video's from 2018 and it's amazing to see how far Sport mode has declined in terms of carnage/clean races and although things were still not perfect back then it was WAY less stressful!

I really hope for some SF in next week. F1 is finnaly starting, so maybe PD make some combo, like they did in the past... Maybe SF on RBR? I gotta check SF calendar...

Here it is. My dream is PD adds Twin Ring Motegi in new update...
https://formulascout.com/new-super-formula-calendar-reveals-december-end-date/63023
BTW SF is much more interesting to watch than F1, only minus is time differences, sometimes its hard to get up 5-6a.m. on Sunday...

Could happen I suppose! Would be nice!

I got plenty time to refresh for the next week daily races info but if it's not there by lunchtime I guess I'll look tomorrow!

In before they suddenly decide to add a Super Formula championship and tracks to the game!

Next week:
B: Gr.4 (1 make) - Fuji Short - 4 laps - RH
Click to expand...

I really hope this is not a one make race with the RCZ!

PD be trolling us if it is!

PD Staff: Oh the RCZ is actually very popular with the players, look how many have used it past two weeks...

Players - Um you gave it a straight line buff so no other car can keep up with it!

Did PD somehow hear my internal thoughts as somehow I feel I can handle N100 and Gr 3's next week and can probably survive Fuji too, now if they make it Mustang's I'm sold....
 
Hope Race B uses a fun Gr.4 car next week. One Make at Fuji is classic fun.



Maybe the RC F. Similar to the CCS-R class in Inter Proto

No, off course not... Itll be Scirocco:lol:
Click to expand...

Scirocco would be approved! I would have to make a livery for it though as not done one yet...at least I don't have to worry about track practice since Fuji I can drive while my brain dozes (have frequently started to doze off from engine noise down start/finish straight) :lol:
 
Tbf the races arent awful when you don't get taken out
Race C is max concentration even if your driving on your own, the cars so fast and pointy with the track so narrow
Something really rewarding when you make it to the end with no mistakes let alone winning it

Race B is all about precision and patience, yeah front wheel drive isn't for everyone but doesnt mean the racing isn't fun
You just gotta learn to drive them
Then be precise with the steering to not extend or cut and learn to brake hard and deep into corners
Lunging for an overtake isn't against the law in fact a lot of the time it's the only move you can pull, if pulled off correctly with respect from both parties it's great
We all love ricciardo sending it but then someone sends it on you, it's the worst thing in the world
We've got radars, mirrors we use them or defend and brake late and you won't get lunged

Race A is the sort of racing I like a bit too much power and not enough grip
Sideways all over the place
Reminds me of go karting slicks in the wet so much fun feeling for grip balancing it
Yes it's a bit bumpy especially T1
But once your past that when it settles down to pull a move is quite technical
Lots of switch backs and clever positioning it's pretty intense esepcially when you can follow within an inch of them

The default livery makes the car look like a skunk, so the nickname is fitting. :lol:

Next week:
A: N100 - Autopolis Short - 4 laps - CS
B: Gr.4 (1 make) - Fuji Short - 4 laps - RH
C: Gr.3 - Catalunya - 10 laps - RH - x2 fuel, x6 tyres
Click to expand...

Looks like my "career" is permanently shifting from race B to race C. May just have to give up on trying to win every race & focus on picking up DR & SR as much as I can.
 
It's a great feeling racing Race C when you have battled hard all race, mainly trying not to crash as you struggle with the dirty air and then see the person/multiple people in front of you, go off the track just handing you the win.:D

It just happened twice in a row to me on my main account after I set a just ok qualifying time in the Lexus, won from 2nd and then 6th. :lol:

I can't even reach the level I was at the other morning for some reason, grip seems a touch less but it does even not matter when three cars in front of you go off, one tried a no stopper though so I don't know what they expected. :p

Honestly though it's so easy to make mistakes with the Gr2 cars at Suzuka, I've done it many times myself. :dopey: I don't know why anyone would quit this race after crashing, even after ending up last, you can get tons of places back when others do the same thing and that's without the idiots causing accidents, which also happens quite often. ;)

Race C next week should be good too. 👍

Alright! Consider me interested, then.

AGAIN Fuji and autopolis FFS!!!
Click to expand...

I agree, too much bias at the moment, it's a shame really. Also Tokyo the week after this is almost confirmed I'd say. :ouch:
 
Had a great week racing so far in race A, tried a few different things some worked some not, had my first win and starting to finish in top 5 more often and clean I'm sure more consistency will happen in good time.
Made some prity good overtaking moves on some and had some amazing overtaking past me. Its brill when it's a good close race, love it.
