Mustang is good. The Pepe le'Pewgeot is bad(well, not as good as the Megane) on brakes and changing direction. Holds me up.

The RCZ that snuffed me, watched the replay and apologized at the start of this last race. Said I made light contact twice and he shouldn't have reacted that way. All good.

Started 8th and a bit of mayhem out of the second chicane. Contact from an RCZ saw me do a bit of offroading.

Gonna drive the little Gr.4 4C in some Custom Races. Nite nite.
 
Finally found the time to drive on Monza this morning. it was complete chaos.

I ended up winning the race and here´s how:

Started last because I did not have the time for qualifying.

First lap 3 guys crash ahead of me in Lesmo 1 taking out the 50m and 100m board.

Lap 2 EVERYBODY except for me misses the breakingpoint in that very corner due to the missing boards.

Fun.

Fixed it for you, no gender bias here :D

Do you see any boobs? It has very slender arms though.

First race on Monza today, ruined by someone's potato internet. Standing start chaos. Then I catch up to the person that messed up the race and it turns out he can't even see anyone on the track. I pass him, but his car simply bumps me out of the way with zero effect to his car. I try again, same thing. I get in front again and try to brake check him for the next corner, no effect to his car, I simply get pushed along wide again in the turn. I try if I can bump him out of the way, nope, solid block that car. My car simply matches speed with zero effect to his car. So he just gets to hot lap pushing me out of the way in corners, nothing I can do.

I might be wrong but I don't think we've seen a SF race outside of the Japan based tracks so far. This Saturdays Nations race seems to be the first break from that at Monza. Whether or not that has any bearing on next weeks daily race I don't know.

Would love for it to be the SF as I really enjoy driving that car. It has also been a while since we've seen the X2019.

In short, I'm also guessing :lol:

Spa could be a lot of fun if it's the SF cars. Blue Moon Bay will also be a large source of DR for me, can't wait.
 
Just thought I'd leave this one here...
Felt bad for the innocent party on this one, but was lucky and then gifted 2 positions, went on to take 2 more as they pitted final lap and took second.

Needless to say he'd been a chump all race and quit right after this beautiful move.
Some people do not like being passed...
 
typical fight to the death for every position then gets past because of his mistake then tries to take anybody he can with him. I am just as competitive as the next person but at the end of the day its a game ................

Top 10 Tips for Brands Hatch (Race C) from obvious to genius
  1. Use all tire compounds
  2. The race is not won on Lap 1
  3. However, most bottles happen on Lap 1
  4. Practice the tricky corners (i.e. all corners)
  5. Practice defensive lines, you will need them
  6. Manage tires - be smooth
  7. Focus on exit speeds
  8. Use a strategy according to starting position like 6-6-2, 6-2-6, or 2-6-6
  9. If they lunge you, get out of the way, otherwise the penalty is on you
  10. For the bottom 20% of drivers, staying in the pits is favorable, just let others bottle and rage quit
 
Did some testing at spa for next weeks race C to see what car is best suited to the settings and I'm putting my money on the f1500T being the car.

Super formula is an option but I'm ruling out the x2019 as it handles horribly on the hard tyres.

Outside bet is the merc f1 but honestly I'd be shocked if they use it.

Good list. Unfortunately 5 and 7 contradict each other. And yep the further back you start, start with hard tires first, draft the field while passing wrecks then enjoy better tires later in the race. I usually change on when I pit based on whether I'm drafting a good driver or getting held up by a clumsy driver or traffic.

So it's likely the X2019 :lol:

(Secretly hoping for the SRT Tomahawk, total mayhem!)

I really hope you're right about it being the F1500T, but you think PD won't use the X2019 in spite of horrible handling? I wish I had your confidence in their decision-making...especially because I don't have the X2019 and just blew all my money on a 330 P4 after hitting the 20 million credit limit...

I really would like to see something different, like some GR.x vision, some car that has never been used. Would be really sad if it be the red bull car again.
It could be like:
Aston Martin VGT
Audio E-tron VGT
the chapparaal, the merc, the jag...

Any of those: https://www.kudosprime.com/gts/carlist.php?cartype=5 which hasn't been used before.

I'd like to see the Ford Mk. IV vs. Ferrari 330 P4 vs. Jag XJ13 (properly BoP'd of course).
