I didn't Expect that it's a real word. Do you have a scrabble YouTube channel by any chance? 😉


I didn't like the Catalunya as well. Yesterday, i had so much to do, that i couldn't even qualify and started last in a half Dr B SR A or less, other half C S. And P1and p2 were Dr A. It was the 01:10 am race. I took my Jägermeister Z4, which eats a 911alive (like planes eat birds), speedwise. I switch tcs during the race, left it mostly at 2, balance +3, and aks on... It was a very disciplined group, through the first little S-curves only one went wide, on the long right hander i saw three next to each other.. And then the whole party started somewhere in the top 5, there was a yellow flag and from one moment to the other complete chaos everywhere. Ramming, spinning, ghosting, yellow flag violation. Do you guys remember Pirates of the Caribbean? The super big and fast ship of the British Empire gets shredded to pieces, while the Captain walks majestically down the stairs. I was the captain and because of penalties, i was P 7 (and became nervous, with a pack of angry Bee's behind me) right before the super slow left. Same place next lap an Austrian pushed me, fully intentional, so wide that I can assure you, there is another strip of racetrack after the green, which leads right back on track 😂,, thanks to the extra speed, i was right behind him, before the next right (going slightly uphill). I bet he was cursing and sure i will send him out. No penalty for him though, so i was left with a bad taste in my mouth.
I finished P8, but honestly, the first lap was so amazing, my best lap in race was 1:46. Xxx both Dr A stayed 1 and 2. The Austrian earned a blue SR A, so happy for him and can't wait to show my happiness next race i see him.

@Haitauer lol, in all honesty, i would never have thought, that you were serious, with the break checking. I was smiling, like lol yeah great idea, you'll be famous in no time.
I think, i am the slowest here, who regularly writes something, but i have close to!!!! 500!!! Gran turismo friends, sorry i don't know them all by name.. We had very aggressive driving in the beginning of the year.. But in my opinion, i would not even mention the topic. Cause i enjoyed the racing very much lately. In like every 3rd race, there were one, max. 3 bad drivers (those who have real issues in their head, blocking, diving, they are pro's in every category) but if someone complains (not you) , about some bumping, side to side touching (not pushing off track) at brands hatch, for example, then those people should stick to formula 1 racing. Fair fighting, is a skill and can be fun...... I wrote too much again 🥔

I muss admit that yesterday I didn't give the rigth look to race C. I initially thought it was the same usual carnage party it was last time in gr1. Now I'm really surprised by the fact that it's a total "première" never seen before with full day time and weather dynamics. Still lil confused though. Really, guys, at Daylies department there has to be happened something like a significant change since a while. This sommer we had almost every week a "gem race" (either A, B or C), and now this magnificent combo. So, Friday I'll improve my race A time only for fun, but I'll stick all weekend at Le Mans like @Childe Roland; starting from back with no QT.
 
Anyone remember what tyre we had the last time we were at Barcelona with group 3 in June? And has there been a bop update since then? The beetle feels twitchier on the gas than i remember and i just went half a second faster in the Huracan for a 42 flat.

The whole model has changed, bop for the cars and also physics or tires but I’d have to check but the last few times were race hard tires?

All of the cars are more sensitive to power now, if you watch the replays you’ll see a slightly smoother power application, and some times dab of throttle and the last 1/3rd being applied later.

You really have to self analyse a bit on your driving style in that the cars are drivable fast way faster than us with no drama or slipping/angles. We need to understand and learn how to drive these cars, if they are slipping it’s largely something we are doing

I checked, it was RS last time so that makes sense, I am about 8 tenths off and it makes sense the MR car is a little better with RM vs the RWD car with RS.

That makes sense that the tires had more grip, but ultimately it doesn’t matter when you have to race the same parameters as everyone else. The relative scale adjusts well relatively?

Well it does matter because it felt different, especially exiting that awkward left where you brake down hill and gas it up hill (turn 6?). So this makes sense, explains why there's a touch more slip and the MR car feels better there. I've never raced the Huracan, I need a livery, I feel naked!

It may feel different to over a month ago but not something you can’t adjust to. I’m not finding it massively slippery to be honest, but driving styles are all different I guess.

We can really only race and adjust to what’s in front of us, so I’m just cracking on these days. Turn 6 7 months ago it’s not the same but I can only race this week to this weeks spec the rest is moot, excuses or a distraction.

You've a habit of putting words in my mouth I never said. I'm not making excuses, i'm not failing to adjust, all i said was on exit the Beetle feels less safe than it did and it makes sense an MR car feels a bit more easier on the gas with less grippy rubber.
