The N100 race for this week will feature the older and newer Mini Cooper.

Damn Race B is 1 lap with the 1981 911 Turbo. not really what i was hoping for.

Time to take the German death beetle to the hills!!!!!

Umm. Think I will be skipping this one except on my alt.

Morning! Week ended, I will miss this combo. DR higher than ever, only 1 PP left to 65... Good thing is that la Sarthe be back in September, when real 24h le mans start...

Got my 65th PP on the last Race B of the week, also my 83rd victory.

Doubt there will be any wins or poles for me this week, with these combos.

 

[05XR8]

Yeah. No rush for me this week. Even with DTG as a dangling carrot.

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

Here is a refreshing lap for Race A.

I also dont like this weeks combos... Probably just set kscore targeted times. No sport mode for me, except FIA. On saturday I got invitation to one of polish teams, and man lobby races are a lot of fun! We did 2h Spa gr3, challenging, I was exhausted and my t shirt completely wet Really fast guys...

Dang! Did I actually manage to predict the car correctly for this week? Well guess I have to go racing it now!

I think the tyre wear this week in Daily Race C (Gr.4 at Dragon Trail Gardens II) is a little too much for the FF cars in the race, so I ended up in the Mclaren 650s as I remember it being good around here in the other direction.

Seemed to work well, as I managed to put a solid TT time in with it and it seems pretty solid in the race with the tyre wear. No worries about fuel, and I didn't bother to pit as the lap times were only about 0.6 secs slower at the end than at the start (I think a 1 stop is a smidge slower but probably doable if you fancy it, or use the Audi). Guy in front went with the BMW M4, and I never really challenged him. Dropped to about 2 secs off him in the middle of the race and then closed back up to about 1 sec behind at the end, so pretty even really.

Just a matter of not killing yourself on the fast triple apex left hander, or flying into the scenery by hitting the kerbs at the chicane. You can split the kerbs, but I was too chicken so just avoided them for the race (Mclaren seemed to not like them in TT so seemed too big of a risk).

Does this K-score mean anything, does it influence on DR during the races? Or is it only for helping us to know whether our quali time is good enough and we make progress?

So it looks like a one-stopper for FF and no-stopper for RWD? Might be interesting...

Not connected to the in-game progress what so ever.

Daily A is cute but the old Mini isn't competitive enough. As you'd expect from a 225% boosted car with it's original bicycle sized tires, the slight straight-line speed advantage it has doesn't make up for how it corners. Maybe if they had done a custom LSD setup for it and allowed SS tires instead of SH, that would have been slightly more fair.

 

[05XR8]

Well waiting a whole one hour not to "rush" into racing... .... channeling some Assetto Corsa Competizione GT4 DLC vibes. Starting alphabetically: Aston Martin, BMW, Ford, McLaren, Mercedes, Porsche.

Set a base time in the Vantage 1:41.241. Starting15/19

 

[Redneckchef]

Had some fun setting laps for race A, thought I might give it a go. 1 SR down in the cluster:censored: that is the grid start, green SR up rest of race. Down 6 SR. Accidentally screwed someone over on the start when we were getting bumped but didnt realize it. Will have to see if I can find them and sort it out later. Paddock hill on lap 1 is a mess. And anything off line in the final turn costs you dearly.

And I know it is super early for the week, but cant help laugh when I had the 12th fastest time on the board, and started p5 in the race.

Now about that Autopolis race tomorrow.

 

[05XR8]

Laid a 1:39.683 in the M4. Accelerating out of a corner is magical. Amazing.

 

[Redneckchef]

Just for a heads up a CRB in race A is at least 6 SR.

As @RacingGrandpa said. For me its personal challenge to be above 72-3

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

It kind of sucks that we have 2 race A's this week, the Porsche is hardly an expensive car so everybody who wanted to would've been able to enter anyway.

Yup, it also means no custom liveries and changing the BB and TCS every time you drive the car.

Yes 👎

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Yes 👎

DAT sucks! I will still race the 911 though!

 

[Pigems]

Yes 👎

 

[CapableRamblr]

Still trying to wake up this morning. But it sounds like quite a change from last week. Rocket pace to a snail race.

PD got tired of us putting anime girls on cars.

Speak for yourself, still sucks with the 911 Turbo not being that expensive at all.

Well given that last I checked on the GT Sport Decal/Livery search that there were 86,725 car liveries tagged as anime I guess you may have something there!

Shame though that it's stock because I was wanting to see what anime girls would show up for the race!

I tried 650s in race C and it looks like it better copes with the tyres wear than meganes and m4 most people choose. If one can keep with them on the first half of the race, there is advantage in the second part. No one seems to change tyres however.
