Waiting for the races to change. I have some time tonight to get some laps in, but won't have time to make videos on them. :(
I am going to do some b4 I race ... I can for a couple of days this week. Never driven the full track in a race and I don't recall driving a GR3 car there ... should be fun I hope.
 
Race A car selection:

Unfortunately not in Race A. I use the VW anyways. Wish we had an Alfa. Lets see how we go with this. Rcae pace may even things up with the VW's off-throttle cornering. Might jump in the Megane as it looks closest to the Alfa.

Glad Race A isn't just one make. HOPEFULLY it won't be filled with TTs.

Redbull Junior in C? Could give that a try... Honestly barely used that car.
 
The only downside is you'll have innocent people incurring damage from the punter.

Yep. FIA Gr.1 race at Maggiore couple of weeks back. Actually got a great start and went up 5/6 positions nice and cleanly to have someone overcook into the back of me and backwards we went with all the damage.


That's. What. We're. Talking. About.

I love the TT around Auto. It may become a 1 make race after all but I'll be happy, if no-one else is!

Now to get PD to allow garage liveries.
 
Gave Race B a try and wow, what a totally different race then Monza last week. no brainless divebombs and overall clean racing. The only real worry was getting to others as grip with the mid-engine cars seems abit iffy from all the skidding I saw. Lots of door reading was possible with how sideways people were.
 
I just did three races at Brands Hatch.

A very good field with the lowest an A. I qualified before the start with a 1:24.2 I think ... in the Audi A8. There were lots of those there, and also, Porches, a fake VW Golf, pretty sure there was a BMW engined McLaren.

I started off by touching the Porsche in front of me at the second corner - he braked very early, I was some distance behind him .. but he was still behind me after corner three, so I pulled over ... but I then let two cars through ... so i was now 5th. I got probably an unintentional tap next lap into the sand; I came out then in last place. Passed a couple and came 12th or 13th.

Next race not much better, and this time my qualifying was 1: 23.6x ... started 5th though. Ran wide somewhere and it was my fault - a very good driver slowly creeping up on me ... I was 5th. So back to the back but I finished 7th or 8. Large loss of DR no doubt, as is my normal behaviour.

I was on a good qualifying lap before the 3rd race, after a phone call in between ... darn with the line in front I went to the race ... didn't get the time. An easier field though with just two A's and I won by 7 seconds.

Lesson - best to practice more b4 racing I guess but then I was a touch unlucky I reckon, I should have played it safer while racing. I just loose focus in my first races. The weather too is semi dark - I hate that. Why not have a mid day race, and the lights are all off. I need now to turn the brightness up in the game I suppose ... its possible to do that ... somehow ....

Really I was the worst driver out there, only unpainted car too, apologies from To_Blitz if I got in anybody's way ...
 
May switch to the Megane as the Scirocco catches on.

Edit:
Got bumped off at T1 by 4th place. Fell to 2nd and nearly attacked again at T2. !st place went a lil wide at bottom right sweeper. Left enough room as I went on the inside of the following turn. Pulled away after that. Another FL of 53.434 this time. Peugeot next. I won't try the TT.

RCZ is scary fast down the straight. Orange arrow as I nudged the rear bumper of P1 on Lap 2. 3rd place made a cheeky move on P1 at T2. I grabbed P2 again. and ran that way til the end. FL 53.201. P1 apologized to the Pole Sitter afterwards.

Overall, an actually interesting set of races this week. Funny enough, some friends and I were specifically saying on Saturday that they need to shake up the dailies. Wasn't expecting it THIS soon, but I'll take it 👍
