Well done mate, good seeing you on track again!! ;)

A question, where do you get that rating info from? Is it an app? Cheers bud! ;)

A shame I couldn't keep up in the last few laps. Could have been fun.

Yeah, it's called GTS Companion. Handy for keeping an eye on ratings, and where you stand regarding your quali times. It can occasionally be a little buggy/laggy. But, it works perfectly fine 99% of the time.
 
I've raced all the awd cars I like. ;) Finished where I started. Now, the META for my final race.

S'all good, man. I've got another quarter second to catch in the first sector . . If work is dead again tomorrow, I've got a few more lieu hours I can use for qualifying, instead :cheers:

First race went pretty well until the chicane of death bit me on lap 4 or 5, was up to 6th or 7th I think at the time, gonna try it again next race. @Qyn was in that race, he looked to have had a good race from what I saw, he finished just ahead of me in the end. Good race man! :cheers:

Believe it or not that was my 1st race @ DT this week. Hadn't quite got my game plan together. Next race I don't know what happened. Just couldn't stop, next thing I know, I'm sideways sliding into the back of you :scared:. Good race though.

Edit. Glad I didn't ruin your race.

@Qyn It was a pleasure racing with you tonight man, I apologize if ended up bumping you at any point, things got a little hectic at times with all the traffic. Great racing man! :cheers:


Both of my races ended the same way, I’ll let the videos do the talking for me. :lol:

Man the pleasure is all mine. Always great to share the track with you too.

I couldn't tell what was going on in that second video of the death chicane while we were racing. I just saw smoke, and started seeing cars fly all over the place :scared: :lol:.

After that race, I had a few races with @Trone_Colby, @NosOsH, and @NevilleNobody. GTPlanet was out in droves tonight :gtpflag:. Great racing with you guys.

On another note, I'm back in my natural habitat of DR/B. Knew it was only a matter of time lol.

Cool, I guess they've set them up early as they have a busy weekend ahead! And back to some regulars I see.

I need to practice Interlagos, not a strong track for me. With x 7 tyre wear on medium tyres over 12 laps it will be interesting to see if a pit stop is necessary. I'm guessing it will be? Hopefully it will be a bit more balanced than this weeks Race C anyway.

Suzuka is going to be a mess :lol: short race, and in a class that usually gives close racing.

I'm not particularly strong at Interlagos. But, I've been wanting a longer race there. Should be good. Hopefully we get a choice of medium, and hard tyres.

Last time out I ran the TT. Made so many positions through T1-2 and 130R when all the Rear Wheel Drive cars stuck a toe on the slippy stuff and went around and around.

I think pit will be necessary, Interlagos does not take that long and you leave pitlane on a good place.

Yay, one lap less to suck through Senna. I did alright here for 4-5 laps in the Vantage last time.
 
Well, two lovely races where I'd qualified (win and 3rd) and two races where I hadn't (3rd and 13th:mad:). I'll just mention the 4th race.

Was a good quality lobby, S, six A+, three B and the rest were A. Did it tell or what?!

I'd been swapping places with a Spaniard in a Huracan for the first eight laps and we were both looking at a top ten finish. He starts getting more adventurous with his passing attempts as we're closer to the end and lunges one up the inside of the right hander at the end of sector 1 from about 0.5s behind, hits me and goes into a spin... 3s penalty to me. Then immediately into the esses a guy tries around the outside (I'm recovering from the hit), we go side by side through the first two, I give him space, then he just sweeps across to the apex for the final left hander ignoring that I'm still there, hits me, goes wide and I get another 2s added to my penalty :banghead:. Down 20SR after a perfectly clean race up to then and the only thing I could have done to avoid it was just wave them past.

Luckily (in a sense) they both had other incidents on the last lap and I finished ahead of both, but the desperation that crept in was ridiculous. Just race, it can get frustrating if you can't get an opportunity to pass but it doesn't mean you go flying in with your eyes closed hoping for the best
 
It has bin a long time since i played the game, end of june i believe. Last week with Kyoto Gr.3 i began again. Now, with DT Seaside, i'm hungry to nail the nice shores around the beach. In the beginning of the week with the Lambo, Aston, Veyron and Mustang. Best was .47.4 with the Aston. Then today, i try'd the Lexus, the M4 and my favourite Gr.4 car, the Jag. With the Jag i did a .46.3. After that, i try'd the Viper. Whilest i was driving it i felt i was going a bit quiker but laptime showed wrong. (I've try'd to take my eyes off of the sector times). It was .6 slower. This is something i felt when driving the Gr.3 Viper also. Anyone also shares this feeling? Grtz.

Actually I want to unlike that :banghead:

A it's the most boring loop of all the Tokyo loops.
B 4 laps of Snoorzuka in GR.4, nope.
C I already get dive bombed enough this week.

It looks like my No Man's sky addiction has a good chance to gain a full hold again. I'll only race if the race A car is something awesome. Meanwhile my multi level base is starting to look awesome. So much has changed in no man's sky it's a whole new game.

Race C -- chances are, I will stay far far away from. I and Interlagos do not get along.

Suzuka GR4, I'm going to assume TT's vs Megane's?

And Race A, hmmm, why do I have this feeling it's going to the Roadster again? It would be nice if it were the 2015 Civic, that's a fun car to drive (The fact that I recently purchased a 2016 has nothing to do with my opinion at all) however, that's an N300 car, not N200. I'm sure it will be a car that has snap oversteer because PD has a very sick sense of humor making us drive those types of car on a circuit that gives out 5-second penalties for smashing into walls.
