How´s Race B going??? This track is usually used for races with higher powered cars.. and it´s a Mayehm.. how does it behaves when race is done with these less powered cars??
 
I will be doing Race B later on today so if no one else comments I'll add some comments on it.

Overall I think I should be able to rank up a bit in today's races but time is restricted today due to a few other things I have to
do and I didn't have time after the FIA races yesterday to do many daily races.
 
I'm busy today but it's nice to see something different with the Mazda race. Incredibly fun cars and being raced on a different track to the normal Miyabi/Suzuka East/Tsukuba sort of tracks

Will keep that in mind when I go racing but not for a little while yet as still at work and have to redo my Mazda Roadster with a new
livery for today's race.
 
10th and 2 seconds behinds the leader lol. It's time to win some DR points :)

N200 Miata daily?

I'm sorry, what?

Haha, those straights are going to be so long and lonely. I'm torn between Brands and Bathurst but I don't like either car. Actually, the Miata isn't that bad.

Off topic but whenever I see Yamagiwa + Miyabi it makes me think of this Fujiya & Miyagi song.

 
Well I gave Bathurst a go as my first race after going up to DR/C again. I qualified P10 out of 15. The first 8 positions were B/S :crazy:.

At one stage I was P6, but I just couldn't hold it. I was doing well with penalties till the final lap and I picked up a 3s penalty on the dipper. The final nail was doing some rallying on the corner at the end of Conrad resulting in loosing 2 positions. Finished P9.

Final result, DR down 12, SR still on 99. Still Race C to go in about an hour, lets see if I can hang on to DR/C for more than 2 days this time :lol:.

I love how the MX5's chassis and suspension turn to rubber under braking. Why put so much ballast in that poor little car?
Feels like I'm driving a blancmange on four wheels at times.
 
How did yesterday's Race B at Big Willow go for everyone? I was going to get a race in lastnight, but had to quit at the last minute.

Second race, Race C. Things did not go well. I thought I was doing ok and put in what I thought was a reasonable qualifying time. No chance. The grid was made up of DR/C and D, and I started in P14.

The whole race was a slam fest and I was constantly pestered by rammers and slammers. Maybe it was cleaner up the front. I got spun and by the time I crossed the line I had a 3s penalty and a headache. Crossed P17. I did discover that on at least one of the tight corners dropping down to first instead of the recommended second had me making passes.

So lost 1.1k DR and 3 SR. I don't know why I was thinking SR 99 would have me in clean races :crazy:. Another day in DR/C.... barely.
 
I hope that this type of race b becomes more common. I am really enjoying it. Had 4 good essentially clean races this morning. Started 3,4,2,5. Was able to hold my place or fall only one in each race. The track has really grown on me, i never really liked it or was able to find the flow till the mustang race like 2 months back.

Gr2 was fun, did 3 races, 1 win 3rd. Trick was to get ahead and avoid all the people that can't control exit speeds, especially in Lexus which seems to glide off in some curves.

I was going to use the NSX and my best qualifying lap at the time was somewhere around 1.08.XX. I'm sure I would've finished the race somewhere near the top of the grid. It's easy to make serious gains on that track.

It's a mix, and the cars are varied on the leaderboards. Generally just go for a car you're comfortable in.

You sure it isn't just a mix of Lexus of RC Fs and Toyota GT 86s (with the odd Lancer every now and then)?
 
Next week, think we'll have Gr. A(Group C cars) 10 Laps Le Mans, afternoon Sunny, 7x Fuel/9x Tires, 20 cars?

- One Make Fiat 500 5 laps Tsukuba,

- One Make Veyron 5 Laps Bugatti Circuit :sly:
 
Had lots of fun with the ONE MAKE RCZ the last coupe of days - really nice and clean races managed to get to 9 consecutive streak, would have scored 16 if it wasn't for a mistake of mine where I went off track...got 5 wins, and I'm almost back to DR A after I got reset.

So I wasn't going crazy. I was driving the Lexus and it would randomly understeer in some curves and just stop responding to my turn input. I literally thought it was my controller losing connection but it would happen on the same turns (3 and 4 on Budweiser Balcony).
 
Entered a couple of daily Cs, grid was like an fia top lobby! Loads of fast drivers, Gr4 so no mistakes either qualified 15th! Only made up a couple of places, so congested at the start it’s almost impossible to not come out the first lap with some form a penalty
