You’re keeping your lap times in the race fairly consistent though aren’t you?

This is the biggest secret sauce, not being the fastest but really comfortable running a certain pace. That buys optionally and instinctive control which avoids some of the drama and over pushing.
Hard to say, cause my optimum always improves following my pace's improvements. Basically it start to really "shrink" (I mean the gap between actual and optimum) when you get near the top of leaderbord (lets say inside the 100 best times). Usually it depends also from the average gap we have from the best times. The higher this gap, the higher room for improvements; wich gives a bigger delta from actual to optimum.
Unfortunately I’m missing the sauce. I’m content enough with my out and out pace as it’s keeps me mid grid in A which would give me some good racing if I could get consistent race laps.
Yes so you’re looking at a tenth there not a big gap like mine so there’s fundamentally something wrong as I have that gap every week.
Honestly, it’s not technique it’s refining consistent pace. You can’t build from a good lap without good consistency and you only get quicker consistency with better understanding of how you make the lap corner to corner.
Last night I did yeah, I think i did 11 between 33.1 and 33.5 in free air. I do find the BB needs to be shifted as the stint wears on, in the 911 anyways, I start at +3 and move it forward as the tyres fade to stop the rears locking into the tight sector 2 corners. Not massive lock ups but enough to bleed a few tenths.
Switched from Race A to Race B. Found Race A fun but was constantly being hit on the rear 1/4 causing me to spin & end up going from pole to last.Yeah I feel that pain mate on learning new tricks. That's why I'm going to trial out these two accounts in A and B and just race wherever I'm having the most fun that week. That way it doesn't matter if PD give a shocking combo, I will find somewhere to race competitively.
Hope you find a solution mate, always good to tussle with you on the leaderboard.
Funnily enough God of War was the first ever game I played when i bought my first ever PlayStation last year at the ripe old age of 43was incredible and bought the follow up Ragnarök immediately after. New one coming out soon as well!
Yes I think we've all been guilty of that DR hunting taking away the enjoyment of racing, seems like it all hit us most when we were closing in on A for the first time, which i think is understandable as you just want to achieve it. I do remember following your rise to A closely and it was exciting!!!
I just want to have a competitive race now and that doesn't matter if it's for P1 mid pack or racing a couple of people the whole round not to finish last, just finding enjoyment in the actual racing as taken a whole bunch of stress off! Obvs more fun to be at the font but happy to be in a fight wherever.
Where are you racing this week Mr B?
That's great going with such a small window for your consistency. I'm waaaaaay off that
Got a big case of hot lap syndrome. 62 years young my friend
tbf after years of rugby and boxing my body feels like it's in it's 80's.
Race B (Gr.3) & C (Gr.4) will be awesome. Oh man....can't wait.
I’m going to hold out getting excited until they come, the Tokyo one could be good in gr3 (assume) this is the one which goes underground into the hairpin and also has the hairpin at the docks too, might be a good 5 lap race or even 4
Maybe they will but in a week or two. Already they can be raced in the weekly challenge races.They sound great but all the daily races for next week, shud just be the new Hypercars and or the Abarth 500 or Porsche 911 Safety car......or am I dreaming....hehe
I love all variations of Tokyo....rain or shine. Race B & C will take a good chunk of my time next week. Sardegna is a fun track too. As much as I enjoyed Brazil this week, I'll be enjoying the dailies much more than this week.
Indeed, Sports Mediums at the best version of Barcelona is a pretty good omen.
interesting - Do you always look at it from a % perspective? I'm always seeing where I am on the leaderboard to see if it's a good time but I guess this is dependant on how many aliens come out for the week.
Yeah I figure it's a slightly better measure than your position in the world because the player count hops around so much. One can also tell from the friends list if you're there or thereabouts and I seem to be but man, I think the south americans are animals at Interlagos, they know it backwards. So fast.
Home course advantage. Saw the same at Kyoto and the Japanese lads flooded the top of the leaderboard!!!
9th June onwards You hired NASA's space shuttle?
