Monza was Monza again today. However I only got a red rating in one out of 12 races and snagged 2 wins as well. 10 out of 12 starts were a mess though, here's a compilation of those 10 starts in under 4 minutes.

That's all SR.S, cream of the crop! I liked how I got pushed into first a couple times.

Not many people dared to go on Monza today, many rooms were not filled with a low of only 11 participants in one of the races, of which only 8 finished. By the end of the night I was also the only DR.A left. The rest had either their DR reset or had run for the hills. I gained about 2K over all, fun night.

Tomorrow's races look great, more Bathurst and GR.2!

Well, if anyone sees a pink donut king RC F, you'll know it's me. :D

Good to see an RC F in the top spot. i'm running my Allan Moffat trans Am livery on the 'Stang. With my lazy 2:16.253, should be an interesting race.

even if you meet me I on backmarker and still BS lmao
use NSX if you can handle it, I can't handle it on DS4 so I use GTR now for stable and thing. RCF speed doesn't help on Suzuka hahahaha

The best place for the Alpine is a rally stage!

In another game where the rally physics are actually good perhaps. In GTS I'll take Alsace. I just ran qualifying on Tokyo, it's laughable there. It's rev limited to 150mph and does this rev cycling all the way down the straight that sounds horrible.

Best I've managed so far is a 1:53.1 in the Lexus. Did one race, fought off two cars and placed 5th. The one S/S in the race qualified with a 1:49, that's insane. I kind of wish they had chosen a different track as we already got Gr.2 on Suzuka in FIA, but I'm happy just to have it.

Four races in and Gr2 race grids have been mostly NSX and GTR with just a couple of RCF's. I tried qualifying with GTR too and though it seems quicker through some corners than RCF, I could not get near my time with RCF.. Tried it with NSX and beat my qt on the first try. NSX is a beast!!

I'm just not good enough or familiar on Suzuka to really race. Lost many positions purely because of my own mistakes.

QT with NSX now 1.51.2.

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely do that :)
Edit: 1:49.685 on the RC F
The NSX is too much of a handful! :lol: Let's see how this Q time transaltes in the race

Two-stop???

Yes. When I got rear-ended on Lap 1, I got slammed into the track exit wall, left side of The Chase corner exit. Relegated me to about 10 seconds in 20th. I decided to pit for tyres and top up fuel and just run hard to the finish. I caught up, when cars started pitting with 4-5 laps to go(had about half tank). Lap 6.5, I was getting too much understeer. Fuel warning came up and read ".8 laps". i pitted for tyres and fuel. Lap 8, caught up to the four last place cars conserving, from The Cutting to Skyline.

For some reason, yellow flags were waving on Conrod Straight, for the whole race. I caught an 86 that had no grip and out-braked it into The Chase.

Is it realistic that you can take the 130R in a GT500 flat out so easily? Can't check onboard videos atm, but was wondering when doing the GT League Event with the Gr. 2 Nissan (RH tires).

Btw., the GT League event being multiclass with GT3 cars is so so sweet... Why can't we have that in Lobbies or an endurance sport mode race even? I would glady accept the carnage that would likely happen :D.
Click to expand...
Possibly you can, as GT500 cars have real strong aero. In GT3 I turn in at speed 240+ and manage thru apex at 220+, so not _completely_ flat out, but almost
Oh yeah, it would be sweet until it kicks you back to SR E and makes your DR free fall as well :D

After an abyssmal first race at Suzuka Race B, I took some time to trim my quali
Hopefully my 1:48.653 will take my to the top field :lol:
Click to expand...

Hahahaha that's pretty messed up race, glad I manage to 6 to finish didn't know 2 guys front of me get penalty :lol: and yes cause of that I manage get DR.A (I want more freedom on DR.B tbh :lol:)

I can't get above 1:51 I guess that's my peak :boggled:

Keep that A- it's bragging rights man :lol:

I think with the NSX we can both trim our times a bit more, but it's too hard to handle :lol:
 
Every race I start thinking I’m getting used to the pushy-loose handling of the Alpine it spits me off into the barriers. I shouldn’t complain though as every race so far has been clean as a whistle through T1.
 
:grumpy::grumpy: Just had a very bad C race... all my fault...
Qualified good, 2:12.759, had pole position
On lap 4 I was 8seconds ahead of p2.
Getting into pit I stepped a bit outside the track.
Coming out of the pit I have 15seconds penalty!!
I try to take it out but never goes down...
I let P2 pass me and still have 5 seconds to go...
On lap 7 I managed to take out all penalties, P1 is now 10seconds ahead and P3 is 5seconds behind.

I got disconnected even having yellow bars
Not orange, not red, YELLOW!!

2000dr points lost!!
