I'm pretty sure I will like qualifying more too, last time with this event I did over a thousand miles of qualifying.I like qualifying more than the racing here 😂😂
@MOPARbarrett5 i see you! Great time

I've not done much practice yet but I think the assists don't seem to effect the time much for better or for worse but it might be possible to run a more aggressive thus overpowered suspension setup with assists on and enough practice.Thank you for sharing the set up again. Have you tried without ASM ? i cant remember being faster with ASM on, whenever i tried it.

Thanks. I will try it this evening, running 5 laps with asm and 5 without. I will tell about the time differences tomorrow.I'm pretty sure I will like qualifying more too, last time with this event I did over a thousand miles of qualifying.

I just threw away my lead at paddock hill....on the last lap 🤣 I did pit though...Second race on B and already someone has lost their win due to not pitting.
Agree, DF reverse is good and a few of those dragon tail tracks too, I remember a gr4 race a while back, GVH south reverse was great racing with the first corner into the tunnel with a tight left.I couldn't tell you why, maybe it's just the uniqueness of the turn 2-3 complex, maybe it's just that they actively use it. But Deep Forest is one of the few fantasy tracks where the reverse variant feels like it has its own distinct character from the forwards version rather than just feeling like a bit of a clumsy remaster.
Like, Trial Mountain Reverse and GVH1 Reverse don't really work for me, but this does. Sardegna A is the other one I'd say works well.
'47.00 would rank you 20th in the world...Man, I went to sleep on the couch at about 4am, and woke up 2 hours ago. This list of tracks/cars is a repeat. But I'm glad that I don't have to deal with Fuji anymore for a while. I got a good time at Brands Hatch, 0'49.313. But I know I can do better than that. Maybe set a sub 0'47.000 time? Now I used the scirocco car, but I might need to use another one. I guess I'll check the global leaderboard and see what the meta car is.
@MOPARbarrett5 I'm gonna watch and study your replay as a guide. Thanks!!
Yeah I'm a 47.28 and that's 80th ish now.'47.00 would rank you 20th in the world...
I'm with you on that! just made it into the 46s with only 30 ish miles run.Its a combo for some reason suits me yet I detest the car 🤷♂️
I think the person who doesn't understand pit strategies, is the one who when running at the front takes an early stop, only to be surprised to find slow traffic in the way!I think I expect to much from people sometimes.
I expect them to understand the race around them. Now on daily B I can imagine as pointed out a lot of people don't read the rules or understand how pit strategies work.
That is fine and people will learn. But what has surprised me this time round as a pole or 2nd place sitter pitting lap one to get at the back of the pack with my focus on the delta to P1 to jump on the pit stop the guys in 5-15 seem to think I'm racing them...
The level of racing immaturity is quite striking. Literally no awareness that I'm not racing them yet the blocking, dive bombs etc.
I know why I QT Mondays. Just pretty awful. But it's a 2 sided coin and I've had some great races 1 p1 and 2 p2-p4 (from pole or the front row)
This will shake out to be a good week.
A topic for another day is trail braking is not what so so many people in my lobbies think it is.
That's not quite what I was saying but I take the point.I think the person who doesn't understand pit strategies, is the one who when running at the front takes an early stop, only to be surprised to find slow traffic in the way!
Although I am with you on the idiots being idiots when blocking someone who they're not really racing with, but surely you know by now that's exactly what would happen when you pit early.
I am sorry, but I am not sure how it is regarded as immature not to have memorized the driver names of P1-8, when I am starting at P15. When SpikeMyCucumber8493 appears in front of me, I have usually had far more urgent matters to attend to, than to know exactly what his starting position was, in addition to whether or not he has already pitted.I think I expect to much from people sometimes.
