Congratulations , i'm in toops. I'm up to 10th in EMEA manufacturers
👍👍 , from far my best position ever. 
I was as low as P8 and as high as P3 but in the end I finished P5. I had P4 until the aforementioned guy that punted me earlier overtook me on a awesome move on the very last turn of the race. I went ultra defensive and sacrificed my exit, where he went wide and got the great exit so his GT-R smoked my Scirocco on the straight.
... I'm kind of scared but also kind of happy! I don't get to use my Gr.1 cars online very often and this is a perfect opportunity. I think I will go for the Peugeot 908 or the L750R.
. I'm not going to practice qualifying at the Nurburgring but rather go straight to strategy practice in terms of fuel consumption and tyre wear. I think that's what will win the race because passing at the 'Ring is quite hard! 
, and in terms of the economy, it can go the full race, full speed, without needing to refuel. Since Racing Mediums are probably going to be the "required compound" and I'm not too much faster on the softer tyres, I'll do a one-stop race, medium-medium, no refuel. Should be interesting! 
), but I've found the RH tyres can go for 2 laps quite reliably and so can my car if I fuel save (don't know about others, you guys will have to do your own testing! 
) and on the last lap, I'll pit, refuel, slap mediums on and just go at it.

As a Manufacturer-only racer, I have also come to a conclusion: I'm too old for the Green Hell
If it was in the 1966 Beetle, well, maybe I would consider it. But after 25 years of sim racing I am STILL not comfortable with that track. Especially in GT3 machinery. So I will sit out yet another Green Hell event because, you know, I'm totally chickening out
Looking at your stats on K', I'd expect you to mostly win easily all the way to A rating. You get some other drivers on the way up there who are also not at their true rating, e.g. if they've had a DR reset, but your 1:53.3 Autopolis daily race QT is an A standard performance IMO, and you're not far behind me for the current daily race C qualifying, again I'd say that's an A standard performance. The best thing you could do for your FIA points would be to do daily races first to get your DR up to at least 25k.But considering Gr.3 races are my only reliable way of getting points, I'll run this anyway.
, and I decided to push it further. I got a best lap of 1:30.252! and when someone really quick rolls up in my rear view mirror, I have fighting spirit (clean, obviously. Lol) Do you race in the european region? Maybe we'll come across each other some day! What's your PSN? We may well end up in the same lobby at some point. My PSN is the same as my forum name, my last FIA result was in this post:Do you race in the european region? Maybe we'll come across each other some day! What's your PSN?
How many accounts do you have for this game exactly
Three. I started off with one account. I then realised the benefits of a 2nd account, but made the huge error of doing my first FIA race on my 2nd account, because it felt like a bit of a risky step into the unknown compared to daily races. It was only afterwards that I realised I had to carry on doing FIA races on the same account, because that's the rule, one account only for FIA races. So I then needed a 3rd account to do what the 2nd account was originally for. Now that it's a new season, I've switched to doing FIA races on my original 1st account, the 2nd account is perhaps now a bit redundant, and the 3rd account is like my 2nd account should always have been, for trying out qualifying performances and daily races before doing them on the 1st account. The 3 accounts are now at 34k, 37k, and 27k, and the K' speed scores are at 82, 86 and 83, so my now redundant 2nd account has the best stats of the three. It will take a LONG time to get the 1st account K' speed score up, because I did quite a lot of times on that account when I was a fair bit slower and <3% seemed decent to me, whereas I'm now mainly looking for <1.5%, so it will take a lot of additional times to make those slower performances drop off.How many accounts do you have for this game exactly
