Gran Turismo World Series (2025 Manufacturers Cup | April 2 - April 19)

Well that sucked, qualified P2 but never in the race because of the extreme tyre wear on the left front so faded to P8 by the end.

The worst part is this combo used to be really good fun to drive before PD destroyed the BOP last update, in the long corners you would be balancing the car on the throttle to maximise the grip but now we have no power that is impossible, you turn into the corner nothing happens for a few seconds then you get to the exit and carry on, it's like racing front wheel drive Gr4 cars at times 😔

Hopefully once this season is done PD will fix their mistake and give us the fun cars back.

Committed the cardinal sin. Absentmindedly changed to another set of mediums while being first. 2nd didn't change tires at all. 3rd said thank you

After this disaster I decided to do the late slot as well and try to get a decent finish.

GT2, 101 pt lobby

Couldn't put a really good lap together and qualified 4th.

Decided to start on hards and pit after lap 1. I am usually not that good with tires but the Huracan seems to be a tire saver. I never had any problems after 17 laps of mediums in the 4 races I did.

None of the front 3 used my strategy which meant that I was time trialing for 17 laps now. P1 seemed to drive away from the others the gap between us stayed around 32 seconds most of the race. Does anyone know how much a pit stop loses?

I ask because I am not the only one that can't stick to the rules. Our front runner tried to pit on lap 18 but that doesn't work. Therefore I cruised to an easy win.

I managed to gain more than 10 seconds on all the others. I guess they must have been battling all race.

This was a lot of fun. Guess I will be doing Saturday as well.

I entered the 8pm EST GT2 slot and the less said the better. Not because the lobby was dirty, I'm a dumpster fire at this track. This and Fuji are the only tracks in the game I do not like to race on.

I qualify and P13 and only finish P13 after a few people forgot to pit. I showed no fight and just let people through to get this done and over with. I only ran to get some points because I'm more than likely missing the Spa race Saturday. And in my mind, points is points.

Another Wednesday night disaster.

First GT1 slot in the Americas (8PM EDT). In door #5 of an all-A/S lobby, driving for Jaguar, with 179 points up for grabs. @Canucks_9419 was there, too. Good to see you!

Qualified Q8 with a time of 1:43.020, about a tenth off my best.

I started on RH tires and went into the pits to change them at the end of lap 1, and... accidentally chose the 'No tire change' button. Went back in to the pits again at the end of lap 2 to change them. Came out in last place, P15, over a minute behind the leaders, with a 12-second gap to the nearest car ahead. Drove around the track for the rest of the race without seeing anybody. Promoted to P14 when another driver quit. Brought home 82 points for my trouble.
