Keep us updated, I'm looking to be total dog meat in my Jag, but going to give the 1 stop a fair shot after checking out @Mistah_MCA. But I suck saving tires.Qualified on RM, everyone else on RS. THese suckers are going to be dust by lap 3. Surprised I'm even this far up.

That's all good. Car has been giving me fits anyway, so wasn't expecting much. From how it used to drive to now I feel like the big cat logo should be replaced by a scarred kitten.
OKay, this is for the testers. I mean the players that disect the details. What's with the tyres from QUaly to race? My tyres were better in the race than in qualy. Not saying the lighter fuel loads don't have en effect, but my tyres were lasting longer than I thought. Especially the RS. I could have pitted one lap earlier and gotten a couple spots. Maybe even up to my starting position. The other cars came straight back to me, as pretty much all did a one stop.
I pit end of lap 5 for RM(9th place) . End of Lap 10 for RS(came out 16th). Yes, a couple cars got penalties, but there was a pack of six cars I closed right up on. I got bumped a few times that impeded my momentum and I was also being patient behind drivers struggling.
I'm keen to go again, just to experiment. Depending on the room, I might be able to post a time like the Pole Lancer.
Players ran the RS first. I think the Atenza can run the RM like I did, to end of lap 6. Then, run the RS to gain some time for the last run on RM. I wasn't being too overpowered by cars on the RS. Moreso in cornering grip.
Holy heck! The Atenza has some top end. First off, out of the final corner, I left an M4. I mean, pulled away. It was in my tow, while I was behind an AMG and the M4 was not making groun. This was Lap 2. Second, I wasn't struggling to keep up. I was calm, my hands were sturdy on the controller, the car didn't sound like it was out of breath. I'm a little dumbfounded.
Sorry, @Redneckchef from what I could see, keep in mind I was on the slower tyre, the VAntage didn't seem too flash. I'll post a pic of its tyre wear. MAybe it was that race with those players.
Edit:
Shoot! I could have run these from maybe lap 9.
I think it can do the job. It qualified ahead this time and did the one stop.That's all good. Car has been giving me fits anyway, so wasn't expecting much. From how it used to drive to now I feel like the big cat logo should be replaced by a scarred kitten.
Looks like the 2 stop might be my only real option in that thing. Kick arse on your second run.
Thanks for the heads up. I had a couple races against them, yeah, few bumps as well. Nothing malicious, just unpolished and brave, silly and lacking planning on some pass attempts or defenses. Will just wing it on tire strategy. Bit me bad at Sardegna, but they were driving away from me when I was on fresh tires there too so just have to go and keep it steady.I think it can do the job. It qualified ahead this time and did the one stop.
I'm saying it didn't seem to do anything spectacular.
I did the one stop. Pit end of Lap 9. Maybe One lap too many. That freakin' Lancer was pissing me off. NO race craft at all. Came from the back with a bad qualy. Dude wouldn't wait for me to attempt to move over. Everyone else clearly could see I was giving room for them to pass. Not one problem except for this dude. If that's a gtp member's son, speak to him or her please.
Done for the night.
Guess I'm just gonna have to git gud with this BMW then.
The 9s pit loss from an extra stop isn't possible to make up, even with fresh softs. I tried both the 2-stop and 1-stop strategy in practice races, and the 1-stop was slightly faster, even in the Corvette.
You and me are opposites then.
I started strong and have been declining ever since. But I do like the BMW's. The M6 is where I've struggled to hold pace though. Can a manu's car selection be swapped between without it triggering a manufacturer change?Tried both as well... both came to the finish line at the last place... I’m done with the gr4 corvette...
Laughs in PUG. I have no intent in making up the 9s loss from the pit. But after some testing, a 2-stop is still faster in this thing. By lap 5 on RS i lose 2s per lap, lap 6 is 3s per lap, etc. It's mostly lost in the 3rd sector. The PUG seems to demand a 2 stop and even then need to do 5 RM laps + 2 stints of RS for the remaining 8.
You and me are opposites then.
Watching to get pointers for my race in NA this evening. Looked like there was a lot of aggression and dive-bombing early on. I enjoy how you have the steering wheel view overlaid in the HUD. Good luck!
