New Dailies are:

A: Tokyo Central Clockwise - CM (Probably Road Car)
B: Trial Mountain - SH (Probably a road car or pre tuned cars?)
C: Spa - RM (Probably Gr3)

Edit: as always thanks to https://gtsh-rank.com/

Recently we had Spa but as Race B. A longer race with Gr.3 (and if with dynamic weather) would make it even more fun.

I'm digging the Daytona Race C this week.

It's gonna be the Twingo isn't it?

I think it might be, although weirdly Settings is set to yes for both A/B and No for C

So I’m guessing A will be a turning one and B is the pretuned cars

Edit: err they have disappeared from the page now?

Race B will be probably be Gr.4 machinery. As per the norm, Gr3 & 4 races keep getting interchanged every week.

Yeah. Laguna Seca with Gr.3 some weeks back was a blast. As much as I love Spa, Laguna Seca is more challenging in its own right.

I'm definitely not doing Tokyo or willow springs, so Laguna seca it is.

Just had a lovely little race with @benjoi84 - that was a cracking pass you did into T1. Its a shame I saw you picking up those penalties in my mirror - I was willing you on to hold 2nd place!

It felt good to get a gtp 1 & 2 😃
 
As someone else said, I could dig Spa if it's a strategy race with weather. The one at Fuji a couple of months ago with Group 2 was amazing, really unpredictable stuff. The car choice for Trial Mountain will be interesting if it really is SH.

Back to this week and I was spewing last night. Entered a race with almost all A drivers, there was only 3 of us DRB guys. I start P4 and pick off P3. P1 and 2 squabble, no real contact but they trip over themselves and i made a very, very sly move to the lead. I then drive hard running mid 15s for 3 laps and enter the final lap over a second ahead. I tense up, get too conservative and get passed at the last corner dammit. I've bottled about 3 wins this week I reakon.

In saying that, a huge week for DR gains and I am DRA, looking forward to getting my rear end handed to me next week in A/A+ splits.

I love the fact that you've tactically engineered your DR to draw a smiley face with green and blue eyes. Good job mate!

It’s getting abit feisty in race A, everyone must be properly dialled in because all week ppl have been nice and courteous through the bus stop etc but that’s out the window and the hard racing is here 😂 and with the amount of DR being dished out, getting to A may not happen! 😁

Anyhoo, suns out, holiday weekend upon us, almost there!

The racing does change dramatically as the week goes on. At the beginning of the week I was P2 on my friends list, now I'm nearly last. I was doing well in races by driving well, now I'm only getting results because of other people's errors/collisions/penalties!

Still, at least I'm getting to drive a car that's the same age as me 😂. Can't claim to have seen one race in period though, my first British Grand Prix was 1960......

Legend mate, I said before earlier this week i tried this car for a trial mountain race weeks ago and couldn’t get on with it, wish I would have stuck with that.

I purchased the Alfa 20mil car only a week ago too and I wish I’d brought this one and put a proper livery on it, 😁

Didn’t think it would last the week but it’s real racey all week and super competitive
 
For daily Race C, no doubt he F-Type is the best car. TyrannoCyrusRex on Youtube who keeps posting antimeta vids every week suggested Corvette C7 which is a close 2nd to the F-Type. I only use this car just to avoid the monotonous feel of using a meta car. The C7 feels more stable in slow corners than the F-Type imo.

Even the Aston Martin V8 Vantage is good making it the 3rd best option as per Calster 25. This car has better acceleration but not so good top end. The C7 is opposite the the V8 which makes it better when in slipstream.

P.S. - Good luck everyone in advance for tomorrow's Manu event at Fuji short track Gr.4 race. :gtpflag:

Always does!! The rest of the field seemed uninterested after the first corner 🤣

I have to say I felt the pressure once I'd taken the lead. My first race of the day and your quali pace was playing on my mind a little, 4 tenths at this level isn't peanuts!

Congrats mate. First of many to come, I hope.

One of our own @bone_tone using the force this afternoon to go from 10th to 6th 💪🏻🥳🕺🤠

I had my eyes shut as everybody started spinning in front of me 🤣 - made it through unscathed somehow.....

The next race was a good one too, although not so much for you by the looks of it!

Got my first SR down of the week though, as I got pushed into a couple of people, then had one of those events where a car spins in front of you, and you help them into the barrier! Didn't get any penalties, but the SR obviously took a hit 🤨

Sadly decided to pit after 2 guys along with me tried to go 3 abreast through the bus stop with me in front but sadly in the middle. It didn’t end well for any of us tbh and took me an age to recover. Onwards and upwards though 👌🏻💪🏻🤠

That is an amazing Q time and you must on pole for your races.
Click to expand...
Occasionally but usually there's an A+ driver on pole in my lobby . I happier chasing than leading anyway as I'm so used to following a ghost car.

You're shifting a bit early, give it another second or so.

AT I'm afraid, so I have no control over that - cannot use MT due to tendonitis, flares up dreadfully after only a couple of races! 😒

It was funny, because I didn't remember going past you at any point, then suddenly realised you were behind me.

After that race I decided to quit while I was ahead!

Urrrrghj I remember those days on a controller. So frustrating when you just know you need to shift down and the AT won't do it. There's a corner at NGP that is just a total disaster in AT, the right hander start sector 2, turn 7.

I couldn't get on with a controller at all, much happier with a wheel, just can't use the paddles to shift gear.

Yes, some corners can be difficult, plus you sometimes have to brake to get the box to shift down, when those behind you don't have to! Can be a problem if they're really close.

It also means some cars can't be used, usually those that need short-shifting. Thankfully NGP is not one of the tracks I ever race on! Daytona oval is great for me, as it puts everyone on an even footing, top gear all the way round 😆.
