Used the Aston for the 2nd Race, started and finished DFL.I was going along alright until and alien from up ahead spun himself out and ended up behind me. I made a mistake braking into T3 and he just drives right to the outside as if I’m not even there, then drives off into the distance after putting me into the sand. I’ll remember that buddy!!
Couple of laps later, guess who pitted and ends up right behind me again? Yup, Mr. Alien.So I start thinking, I’m already in DFL, let’s defend like hell when he comes by this time just to piss him off.
He catches me by the left hander after T3, so I take a super inside line and park it on the apex, and as I’m touching the inside curb, he tries to jam his nose inside me? Like, seriously buddy? Soooo, once he hit me and my rear end loosened, I said eff it and just turned into him, 🤬 you buddy! Your an alien, have some effing respect, or at least some race craft, there’s no need of that.
I watched some of the rest of his race and he was diving on a few other people too, if not for the letting off he’d have hit them too.
I won’t be trying the third slot.

Yeah he.............. had quite a night. I and someone else almost got caught out in one of his divebombs but I managed to see it ahead of time and leave space to only watch him sail into the kitty litter. I was lucky to finish where I did with 210+ points considering R1 some idiot punted me, dive bombed me after I got back by him, and punted another dude. Needed an attitude adjustment by yours truly
Video or R2 and said Alien
gotta be honest, they really need to fix the penalty system again. Twice I got punted at Turn 1 in the FIA race and twice copped a penalty for it.
And the guys doing the punting seriously weren't even trying to take the corner. Just out to ruin other peoples race.
Just did simulation with AI, my lap times was low 1,27 with best 1,26... Is it good pace? Enough for A lobby in EMEA? Using Jag
Your FP time of 1:24.xxx though...I've seen quite a few A drivers in NA lobbies that are putting down high 26s low 27s... I'm just barely in 25s couple laps then 26s rest of the way. I'm 40k DR for reference.
Your FP time of 1:24.xxx though...![]()
That happened to me as well during the race. If you take the outside line in to T1 to make room for someone on the inside, if they touch you at all, you seem to get a penalty.![]()
Funnily enough the Gr. 3 race there earlier this season was the 1 race where I wasn't even remotely competitive. I was at least 1.5s off the quickest time with my best lap and qualified DFL in both of my attempts. I feel much better about the Gr. 4 'Vette here though. Less than 1s off the top time (albeit barely), and roughly where I normally end up among my usual racing peers in terms of ranking. Unfortunately now that I've broken into A+ DR again, I might get put into the blender with the 2nd Split demi-aliens. Hope you have the luck to capitalize on your pace tonight!Lol, yeah I told y'all couple of weeks ago I plan on winning at Sardegna FF cars be damned. The Ford GT is insane at Sardegna my best finishes all year hope I can repeat in the Slowstang.

I am cautiously optimistic for the Manu race today. I'm a high B DR (26-27K) trying to make it to A. I made strong improvements over the last few days in FP and ran a 1:24:931 this morning in my Honda. Lapping low 1:26's in AI races. Tried some practice lobbies last night and didn't bring the rhythm and lapped high 1:26 / low 1:27. Praying for the race gods to favor me.
Big thanks to Mistah_MCA, too. Chasing his ghost was super helpful.
Honestly that's exactly what happened. After failing to score enough points in all 3 races at Yamagiwa, I was so mad that I couldn't capitalize on my favorite road course, and worried about having another terrible race at Sardegna, that I just went straight to the practice session. I saw your name on the leader board and decided to at least try to beat your time before shutting the game off, but you kept getting faster after I'd beaten your displayed time!I raced a couple of times in the GT started 20th and ended up 2nd and then started on pole and walked away. Tbh, you're only reason my FP time looks so good, lol. We both stayed on after FIA race and just kept going back and forth on the leaderboards!
Good luck today glad you won't be in my lobby haha
My DR is too high I think, race was disaster, nothing to tell... Ended last. I dont know why Im so fast in gr2 and above, and so slow in gr3 and below... Good luck everyonetime to watch some football, Juventus is playing today
