Details man, details!
The guy in 2nd trying to overtake on the outside at the end was pretty reckless. Did he think the race physics would magically suck your car deeper into the inside and slingshot him ahead?

I think it would be cool if Sport mode limited your entry options somewhat, maybe based on time spent in the cars of that group?Nice last lap yet this is not leaving a car width of space
You forced him off as he corrects to avoid hitting you, just before this picture, instead of holding his line.
It started raining so I did some Sunday afternoon racing, messy stuff. I missed the race C entry so I went to Interlagos. I had time to burns and I was only going to do one race there anyway so qualify I did. Started 6th, got bumped all along the way, finished 5th while keeping my clean streak from yesterday, increased to 6. Not willing to push my luck, quit while you're ahead. Too much bumping there.
Then race C in the Vette. It was worse than Interlagos :/ First race I got bumped off twice, finished 15th, 3 positions up as I started 18th without qualifying. Clean streak gone yet still blue S at least.
The second race however a red connection and unstable Mustang driver got me. I need to fuel save in the Vette and it's not that fast on the straight in map 1 already. Even the best exit onto the straight, passing the Mustang, the Mustang simply gets up to speed and passes me again, Drafting one my Vette won't keep up. My bad luck, the Mustang driver didn't know the braking point and started braking hard way too early while driving in the middle of the road. Sure my fault for hitting him yet I'm braking at 180 instead of 150 and still run into him when braking out of his slipstream... After serving the penalties and avoiding other chaos I finish 16th, 1 position gained.
I switch to the Mustang myself since those keep harassing me and manage to finish 4th. 15 positions up, with clean race bonus back to max SR. Next race is a very fast room, clean again, 10th place finish, 10 positions gained with a gap of 0.069 to the car I just passed on the way to the line. Fun stuff. I'll stick to the Mustang for tonight, that can do the whole race in map 1. In the Vette I pretty much need to run in map 2 for the first or last 5 laps.
If you use manual transmission, no need to use the fuel map, just keep it at 1 and short shift when the rev limiter is between 1/2 and 3/4.

. Contact is cheaper.
Mount Panorama is always fun. I kept going without qualifying again, trying out some different cars.
The Corvette didn't suit me today, best was 15th. However that was in the afternoon with very dirty races where I got bumped off and later ended up with penalties from a heavy early braker. The Corvette also doesn't make it in fuel map one.
The Mustang easily makes it and has great speed on the straights. Best was 4th, however that's skewed a bit as it was in an easier room after some SR loss from the previous Vette race. The other race I did with the Stang I ended up 10th.
The Ferrari, fun to drive, too slippery for me on worn tires. I kept holding people up behind me sliding off the mountain. 9th wasn't bad.
McLaren has better cornering yet slower over all, 12th place finish.
Renault pos, so slow on the straights and not really any advantage in the mountain, useless, 16th.
Nissan GT-R corners nicely, good acceleration and top speed, first attempt I beat my best lap from the Mustang so I decided to use that for the rest of the night. The competion was strong, mostly A and quite a few A+ and S drivers showed up. At first 9th to 11th was the best I could manage. As the maintenance drew closer the fast people started to go to bed while I was also still getting better with the car. Last race was the best with a 3rd place finish, 14 positions up, despite a dirty first 2 laps. I'm getting quite adept at predicting when someone is going to screw up in front of me. Honing that 6th sense to avoid penalties.
I only got one contact penalty in the night races when a car turned in on me from behind, glanced off and scraped the wall. It was only 2 sec, didn't matter. The time I avoided a car and scraped the wall myself was worse, 5 sec for avoiding
And there was this start....
One car lagged out, so auto drive piled everyone on top of each other.
Same thing happened in a later race with slightly less drastic results. One car turned into an immovable obstacle before disappearing. stayed long enough to start a chain reaction.
Fun night as usual, always fun on the mountain. SR never got challenged at night, just in the one race with the Vette which was fixed the race after. I can't check DR atm, servers are down. The patch is downloading! 3.565 GB version 1.23
Wow looks like I can go for weeks at a time without playing then because the track and car combos are quite often rubbish
but I had totally forgotten this sweet double overtake!
But yes, I'd love to do Race C too, get ready to goodbye DR
