Honestly SR B/A looks cleaner than that.

Agreed, but the problem is that in the A and B configs, where T1 is a right hander, the pit exit is on the correct side, off the racing line. It’s only on C that it’s an issue.
Fifth day, Acceptance. A new plan, no change in track, so change the car. NTSC racing, never the same car. A few hours ago I completed my quest to drive every single GR.3 car on St Croix. Here are the results sorted by finish position and door number. All from the back, never qualified.
Surprise surprise, the only win was in a Ford. Mind most of the other cars are from a sample size of one race with skewed results as some are from the (s)lower SR.S rooms and a couple from in the morning when half the room is D/S anyway. However the Beetle was by far the most awful to drive. It's rightfully last.
This is where I decided against going to that St. Croix race last week. I used the Tsukuba races to fix my drivers rating and won at least one of theem.
I was doing all day the Viper with excelent results - I noticed that in track pace is more important then speed as everyone commits some mistake on that long track.Just a question, what would u consider a decent lap time for Saint Croix in a non Ford GT

Wow that is very fast I would say. I did some more laps yesterday and I couldn’t break into the ’27s in the 458. Maybe wrong line idk, I should have watched some Top10 replays, damn. So the Ford actually isn’t that brutally overpowered like ithought, it’s just me driving like an old fart
I went through the 5 stages of grief this week on St. Croix.
First day denial, jump on the new track as if it was the only chance to drive it that day.
Second day, anger. I was racing by the rules, however not giving up space or avoiding bumpers, let them come, enjoy your penalty. However the game doesn't give a 🤬 about racing rules and it only took two races to get down to SR.B. Then it took 5 painful races to get back to SR.A.
So back to avoiding at all cost, let the divers dive someone else, wave the punters through, drive by rear view mirror more than look at where you're going, and drive by radar through busy corners.
Third day, Bargaining. There's the thread here about the weekly races I participated in and I briefly contemplated signing up to Twitter to tweet along, yet then I remembered I have no cell phone and it's not worth the hassle creating a fake rerouting number. So I suggested in game to all drive the course in reverse in protest, or have a race of the slowest, without getting DQ, wins, let's stretch this race to an hour and mess with the servers! No takers
Fourth day, Depression. I only did 3 or 4 races and watched Alien Covenant and Extinction instead.

It was not an easy task with rooms sometimes looking like this
Fun working your way up through that... and that's from this evening. Racing did not get cleaner over time, rather the opposite. So much bumping. It seems it takes longer each night for the races to clean up. Before the penalty changes it was usually already better after 8pm. The last couple days you better not join in until 11pm or after midnight.
I managed to avoid most penalties yet now and then the bumping was so thick a red S was unavoidable. And what to do when both cars decide to brake early in front of you, thread the needle!
Here are some more clips from St.Croix, Broken start, broken penalties, broken pit exit (dumb idea for the pit exit to be on the racing line and making people gamble with ghosting) and a broken player. No clue how he keeps coming back to SR.S, never changes.
In the end this weekly race thing became a fun experiment, however it can be changed back now. I can confirm that the races are actually changing. Next up in 30 minutes, GR.4 NGP bleh.
Final stats for St.Croix. 69 races completed, 344 laps, 1 win, 10 top 5 finishes. Avg start position 17.7, avg finish position 8.7. Avg 9 positions gained per race.
Daily A changed over as well now, it's the N400 BMW M4 Coupe for Big Willow 5 laps, tuning allowed. Scratch that, settings are greyed out. Odd, it says settings open, BOP none.

Well, actually I don’t know what that is but if makes me at least look faster than I am, lets do thisYou're going to have to add a kourei mark decal to your car now

Disposed of all my old TOCA and GT games, years ago. Gotta get my Super Touring car fix somehow.
Stellar time mate considering new tire model. Do you happen to know why sometimes a replay is unavailable for viewing? Not saying yours is, but i've seen this phenomenon a lot. Is it that people run their qualifying offline and only then connect to the internet? What's up with that.Not used the Ford GT yet but I reckon this will give it a run for its money at Interlagos.. 30's are possible with the VW as I only did 15 minutes.
