I'm kind of regretting letting myself fall out of Dr.A now. I don't know how I did it last time, but now I'm stuck in this place where any progress I make over a few hours is instantly lost in a single race.
 
Took 1 race tonight to finally get the A+ rating. Then I lost it because my internet dropped for a short maintenance period. Lost 4k DR points because of it and dropped 17 SR points.

Awesome....

You can’t overtake so you need to try different fuel strategies to move up the order! Hasn’t worked against you though! You’re too fast and don’t burn enough fuel. I tried...

Just fast enough to stay ahead compared to the field. I do think these Gr.2 races that involves fuel saving helps me push the car more by using a lower power setting.
 
Gr.1 at Maggiore eh...I don't usually like Maggiore because it's too wide and 'open', but Gr.1 cars do suit it well.
 
Here is the list for today's races
Race A - Suzuka East 4 laps in a Toyota NR2 GT-S '97 one make race
Race B - Gr3 10 laps Blue moon Bay Speddway
Race C - Gr1 11 laps Lago Maggiore GP

Oh, really nice to have GTP mates in the same race. Most of my cars post a SR decal on the rear bumper. Though nice kiss from behind could not be avoided.:lol: Unlike my Asia account, all my Gr 3 & 4 cars in EU have the same colour. You can recognise me by these signs.:D Hopefully I will meet many of you on the tracks soon.:gtpflag:

That SR down decal is a cool idea, I like it. Wonder though, if it won't be some oil to the fire for the einstein-type "gamers". For those, who misses the bus stop, loosing speed, keeping right after it in the tunnel, you think they give space for the others till they pick up some speed, and when you're trying to sweep past, they ram you into the wall. (Yesterday, 2 different muppet in 2 laps out of 4.)

Did 3 Race B last night.
2 miserable ones...
1 amazing!

1st I got pole, messed up big time on the hairpin in the first lap because I was looking at the mirror for dive bombers and missed the braking point. As I was the only A+ I didn’t know if I was ghosted or not so I had to let everybody pass before getting back into track, was then in 12th place... managed to get to 5th at the end of 3rd lap, was close to pass 4th place but 6th place took the 3 of us out on the 3rd turn (the fast one)... finished 10th

2nd Race I was 3rd in the grid, another A+ was pole and between us was a B/S driver... first turn they both got penalties because of the second place mistake... I followed them closely for the entire first lap, on second lap the B/S driver tried to dive bomb 1st place on the hairpin but wasn’t expecting his expertise on avoiding dirty drivers and hit the wall, I believe at this point he got more penalties, I slow down and let him on the track expecting to pass him after the bus stop... the idiot decided to take his penalties in the middle of the bus stop and didn’t let me pass.... I hit the wall, got 3sec penalties and got 9th place... he quit the race...


3rd Race was amazing... a fantastic fast and clean race with the 4 drivers on the front...

Yesterday raced with a gentleman from Italy. He had a faster q time and started before me. He spun at one corner while I had better exit speed. He drove off the racing line instantly to let me pass without any unnecessary defend. I flashed the warning lights and he returned me with headlight. Next lap was my turn and I did the same to give way as he was way faster than me. We traded the lights again.:lol::lol::lol: Enjoy the race very much and the way to lost to a nice guy.👍👍👍
 
I feel people that still race with the red dunce cap, should get more time added per lap. It's not right that some ghost and others ruin the lap by impeding non-offending drivers, from racing at their optimum.
