Damn... this stuff is intense.
I've been doing some online racing today. The daily one, on fuiji. Going for the 993.
I am really inconsistent. But I do seem to be able to... do some pretty quick laps. If I don't spin out and lose a couple of seconds again. I'm like all over the place.
And my qualifying improvements today were... most of them with really huge improvements. First my just regular first time, maybe a 1.55 (if anyone knows the current kind of times atm). Then I improved with one second, which is good. So I was quite proud. 54 didn't seem bad. Then... though... I improved with 0,5s at one point. Then another maybe 0,4 one. Which are pretty big jumps IMO. Then I was getting proud like that's some real good progress actually. Posted here, with what I can now confirm was a 1.53:017. But I though that was a really good one and I probably didn't even have a shot at improving that one to maybe under the 53.
Lol.
And then I made a jump of another like freakin 0,7s or 0,8... lol. Seriously. I don't know how I pulled off that one, but I've got a 1.52:238 I believe it is now.
And I can't get anywhere near! Even though I am now getting at some low 53's atm. Just before I called it a day today (I shouldn't be having that much adrenaline going right before I go to sleep lol).
But this is soo...
You need to get consistent obviously, but right now I'm still all over the place.
But it does feel promising.
Luckily I have the replay of that time I raced. The low 52 one. And I haven't even...
I'm doing it on intuition. I have my own... sort of idea of brake points by now. But not very accurate.
But I have for example no clue yet what the actual fastest lines are... throughout this circuit. Haven't watched the "best" replays yet (I think you can view them, right?).
I wonder what you think lol.
And yeah... maybe the most important thing... I've been able to get to S sportsmanship already. Even though I started out with some really... frustrating penalties.
And doing C now in driver rating.
I know it's going to settle down.
But I think I have more potential than I would have expected. Especially not having watched the ideal lines yet lol.
I feel like I'm more in of a brawl than anything else lol.
Like a freaking fist-fight hehe.
I've been playing RDR2 right before these races started. Maybe that's why.
Oh well =D
And preordered GT7 now as well. Anniversary edition. Cause I think I can't really afford a PS5 yet... comfortably at least. So yeah. But I don't want to end up stuck at "just" the PS4 one either.
Seeing the PS5 game itsself is going to be 80,-. And the PS4 addition is only another 20 all in all... yeah this will definitely be the best deal.
Alright. My posts aren't all going to be this long lol.
But it's like my first day man..
And I had almost given up on GT entirely.
Edit:
Okay lol it's not. I mistook the times one digit I think, it's a 1.52:380. So the 238 sequence is one digit "slower" lol. Not a 1.52:238.
Oh well.
