My DR is tanking due to idiots. The racing is closer and better, but people know they can touch your rear quarter in a fight and get past, plus divebombing. Tried 3 races at DTG to try and raise my DR. Plenty of battles ahead and made places due to people going off. However last lap there was always an idiot gunning for me. I seemed to have a target on my back. Race 1 this happened.
The Frenchman got a bad run out of the chicane which got me close. I didn't intend to make a move at the hairpin but realised I was going to hit them so moved out. They obviously were unaware of their surroundings. Due to this and other battles which hadn't gone their way they decided to dive up my inside and continue turning left into me spinning me out. They too spun and quit in the end. Left me to finish DFL.
Nice to see
@MARLEY_75 again.
Changed to the 911 and it races really well here.
Race 2 started o.k. I got a run on a Spaniard ahead and they didn't like that and tried to put me off the track. I squeezed past and at the hairpin they punt me clean off. They do get a penalty. I manage to recover and find myself in 8th on the last lap. Nope, the guy behind dives in from way back and punts me off at the hairpin. End up 12th whilst he got away scott free with my 8th place.
I manage to shave just under half a second from my Qualy time before the next race. O.k. that might put me ahead of some carnage. Nope.
Race 3 started 5th. (Finally on the welcome screen this week outside A) Several Italians are bashing each other all over the track. I swap positions all over and the guy in the M3 is constantly diving at the hairpin. I know he is doing this so give him room. He does go off at the first part of Istanbul and I gain 4th. Right last lap just keep it on the track for a good result. Finally. Nope I run to close over the corner in the right after the hairpin. I get a 0.5 penalty and this messes me up. I then run wide through Istanbul and the car wants to spin. I control it but it tankslaps and I control it. Only for it to tankslap again and this time it goes round. I recover and cross the line 12th again.
This really frustrated me most of all as I avoided the idiots this time to be undone by the one behind my wheel.
I was going to quit but decided to try a race A as I had somewhat got an affinity with the race and found it to be quite clean the last few days.
Qualified 5th. Got a daemon start and found myself 3rd off the line before the dives put me back to 5th. Turn 4 and someone goes wide. Gain a place. Stay here for a few laps. 2nd and 3rd are in a close fair race. Then lap 4 one goes wide at turn 4 and I gain their place. Up to 3rd. Nice. I don't seem to have the pace of the top 2. However 2nd outbrakes themselves at turn 1 on the penultimate lap. I grab 2nd and stay there for the rest of the race.
Had a couple of side by side moments with another Brit. egobreed. Very fair racing, so shoutout to them.
Might try a few more Race A's before the 2pm nations start. Otherwise not many points will be on offer.
off my K time in C with the TS050. 
... but c'mon, the other mandatory tyre should be pre-selected. Other than the spinout I had at Indianapolis, that tyre fumble ruined my race.
