I'll check in an hour or so... But presuming it will be 86GT in A, since 2000GT was few days here, and it is just yesterday for 86.

For sure... hopefully not Tokyo!

I quite liked the 86 race yesterday actually... was good fun because it oversteers easily but as it is slow, you have a lot of time to correct it.

That sucks.
btw I think I met you in the Daily C yesterday, did you drive the Huracan? I think I hit you at one point braking towards the slow right, sorry for that!
Was a very bad race for me, apparently GTS still matches me to the top group in Gr. 4 but I am not up to the task in Gr. 4 (and Gr. 3 and Gr. 1...). Too many people who have too much experience and make hardly any mistakes. Started 12th, made maybe 2 mistakes in 10 laps (maybe lost 7 seconds) and ended up 19th out of 20...

Np, **** happens :-) Yh, it was my first race with the Huracan, but there were some dirty players in that race, got bumped down too. Too bad :(

Race A is onemake on Northern Isle, 86 GT '15
Race B is onemake on Lago Magiorre - East, Viper GTS '02
Race C is GR.1 on Interlagos... Fuel x6 Tire Wear x13...

I'm out!

Cool, GR.1 on Interlagos again. Loved that race and had last time really cool races! Im lucky with it!

You may not be so lucky today with the tyre change cheaters, which can be broken into two camps - those who do it blatantly and those who are "testing" it :D
 
Might have to do a few Viper races and then onto Gr1.

Does PD have a soft spot for Toyotas? The GT2000 did become one of my favorite cars in the game but the 86 is no fun..
 
I really enjoyed the Gr.1 race at Interlagos before, but with this tire wear exploit, I think I'll pass on the endurance race.

I'm annoyed when there's two Single Make races. Rarely my cup of tea.

I can tolerate one "onemake" race per day... but two guys... what a mess!

Yeah I don't know why they do that sometimes... hope the Viper handles well... I remember from (I think) GT2 the Viper being an uncontrollable animal!
 
I'll be terrible at it but gleefully shouting out my 5 a day! :lol:
Not sure I'll actually race in it though. I wouldn't visit that upon the community!

He bumped me from behind and give me some extra speed... This is not so bad at all... :lol:

Well I don't think I optimized your lap time :lol:
IIRC I did however wait for you to pass me again.

Why all the hate for Tokyo :(
The Tokyo tracks are probably the ones were I'm best at...
And I think especially the East reverse layout also gives some good and clean overtaking opportunities.

I just don't get on with them tbh, too many walls and no run off... I can never time the corners correctly and either brake way too early or slide into the walls.

I gave Expressway the chance last week, did loads of Q laps and got to my best time... I was over 10 seconds off the top 10 :lol:

YAH.. HOW DO WE HANDLE THAT MAD OVERSTEERING?? Brakes equilibrium??
 
Mirror_man
what´s your advice for the brake balance?? (please..) :)

Honestly no idea. I'm keyboard driving at work atm. Haven't turned a wheel in the '02 since I got it, so no prior experience either, sorry. Maybe you can have a play and let me know? :D :cheers:
I would go about it by doing qualifying laps on bb0 until I was consistent. Then 5 laps on +2 and another 5 on -2. If say, +2 was better I'd try another 5 laps on +5 and work out the optimum for my style. Takes time but can be well worth it and you'll have a head start next time the Viper strikes!:gtpflag:
 
...and we can all go into C race and spam options button trolololo... nerve wrecking
 
12 laps with Gr1 in Interlagos is actually very nice!
Did 2 so far, 3rd and 2nd and clean bonus on both.
First one I pit at lap 8/9 but the second place didn’t and he took a 22 seconds advance to me.
Second one I decide not to pit, it’s actually possible, first lap in 1, 4 next 6 laps (only turn to 1 on the big straight), 6 until middle of 10th and then 1... arrived with 0.4 lap remaining.
I used the Mazda and the tires didn’t even went to 1/4 red.

People are using a bug to change tires without pitting.
 
Drove a lap in the Viper. It's just ridiculous how there's no feedback at all of what the tires are doing. I feel like I'm completely disconnected from the road.

Just stupid.
