I can't for the life of me wake up early, so I stay up late insteadEven if I find enjoyable races, I'm still not jumping out of bed at 3am lol. But I will try to get up earlier than usual (maybe 7 or 8) to do a couple of races.

Trust me in summer I literally wake up at 4pm. This darn schoolTheres a thing known as not waking up early? Think I should quit my job and become a hermit or something.
I shall pass upon this luck all the other kind players in this thread have gifted upon me, as well as my own wishes of luck to youJust waiting for the clock to count down. Managed a qualifying time under 2mins for Monza, so I guess I'll see where that lands me. Why Monza? Because I'm touched in the head!

Remember not to brake in T1![]()
The TT Cup is borderline boring. To me, it actually makes Brands Hatch a boring circuit.
My "pattern" is:
Turn 1 4th gear
hairpin 2nd gear - off throttle turn in, Turn 3 3rd gear
Turn 4 3rd gear trail brake
Turn 5 4th gear trail brake
Turn 6 4th gear
Turn 7 4th gear
Turn 8 3rd gear slow in, fast out
Final Turn 4th gear medium brake pick up throttle before apex
Repeat
had 2 wins there this afternoon so far but my SR has taken a battering keep getting penalised for being t boned and rear ended.....Just waiting for the clock to count down.

managed a 1.58.415 so I am sure that is nowhere near the top 10 but has me qualifying in the top 4 or 5 for most races.Just waiting for the clock to count down. Managed a qualifying time under 2mins for Monza, so I guess I'll see where that lands me. Why Monza? Because I'm touched in the head!
Was really cool driving with you earlier in the day!Been doing some Golfing at Brands. Some great races with clean and close battles against top drivers.
Yeah, those darn TX3 guys are bloody quick. Nice move btw. I left the door wide open for youWas really cool driving with you earlier in the day!(PSN: blabla_)
The polish driver who started on p1 was just too fast for me...
LagOn race I see someone hit me in some battle position and get red dot but he just run away till end plus doesn't get red dot![]()
Uh I hope tomorrow will have better races as it's going to rain all day. Yet we already had nurb24 last weekend and Bathurst yesterday, what are my chances one of them will be on tomorrow :/
Bathurst was great last night except for a few minor issues. I didn't qualify well (never do on that track) yet made up 6 to 12 places every race. The first race I could have finished higher, yet I tanked for 4 laps in the Vette which drank it all before the final corner doh, forgot I was patiently drafting traffic in the first 4 laps. I'm so used to tune out the fuel warning that it's essentially worthless now.
Only one race I could not avoid the bump passer which went on to mess with the rest of the race. It only takes one... That race I only made up one place as after that early bump pass, when I was behind traffic in L1, he was hell bent on blocking the rest of the race and ran me off two more times when I tried to pass. Good job defending 14th place and end up with a red A at the end. I came away with very minor SR loss, only race with a red rating, as when he bumped me another car tried to squeeze through as well and clipped me. 1 sec from the bump pass, 3 sec from the opportunist, then some shortcut penalty time after getting bumped from behind by someone else. It adds up :/
However, most races went great, my DR was climbing slow but steady, I even survived the dirtiest first 2 laps of the night in the last race I did and climbed away from the back, set up for a great last race. Then one of my kids started crying... I quickly park in the pit, and by the time I came back I was 1 minute 30 behind last place. Oh well, finished 36 seconds behind last, SR fully intact, all DR gains undone. Matchmaking had made a nice room with C/S and D/S players in it...
What times were you running? I am Australian so know Bathurst well but could not do better than a flat 2.08 but really inconsistent, as slow as 2.11's when i get it wrong. i anm a C DR.
I qualified with a high 2:06, run in race with 2:05 / 2:06 with the GR.3 Corvette. That got me to start in the back all the time with as many as 4 A+ drivers at the front. 2:02 qualifying time would get me closer to the front. I generally finished 25 seconds behind first. At my DR level (avg 38K) with max SR, winning is not an option. Except on Monza, the aliens stay away from that track
I've done over 150 sport races on Bathurst, practice practice practice!
Smokin in the Men's Room at Monza!!!
Despite being hit twice by the same Veyron, I still somehow managed to get a Clean Race bonus for Win #50...

Think we should start issuing a Clean Race on Monza medal for the those that succeed despite all odds being against![]()
