Yeah the seat was a big deciding factor, saw it a few streamers using it.


Have you managed to get some track time in?

I've done some qualifying on all 3 tracks but not raced yet. I'll probably try and race A and B a bit, but not keen on C this week.
 
So polar opposite in my races this morning, finished where I started, 3rd in race A and 5th in race B but annoyingly everyone was 2 secs apart! Nice Sunday drive 😂 but I did get my Autopolis QT down to 20.7. @benjoi84 and hopefully can shave a few more tenths off! Didn’t manage a clean lap at Bathurst in 15mins of quali 🤨 damn wall pens

Missing one of my favourite races, Mt Panorama, as I'm stuck enjoying the sunshine on the Isle of Wight this week....

Did see a couple of beauties at the beach yesterday, by way of compensation 😂

Very nice. I'm in north Devon at the moment and today had an unwanted drive through the back lanes due to a nasty smack on the main road. Think everyone's OK thankfully. As a consolation I did see a trailer with what looked like an old Ford Thunderbird and Lexus LC500.
 
So guys, if you haven’t tried race A yet, time to get in there! I’ve found the racing to be quite boring this week, just not very racy but today, and maybe that’s heading towards the weekend, I had some fantastic close racing the whole race, 8 laps felt a chore until now but today the races could have gone on for 30 laps!

Had this corker of a win, actually think I braked too late and managed not to hit anyone but the guys seemed to accept the win, let me know what you think,

I’ve enjoyed both A & B this week and been pretty competitive in both which is a first, I’m definitely doing a lot more A this weekend, although not sure I’m getting 3 tenths more to the top guys 😁

I've enjoyed setting my race A QT but only entered 2 actual races. First one was a disaster; made a mistake early on and when I finally caught up to the back markers I got smashed to pieces in the mosh pit. Second race was much better started P2 finished P3 after some good, fair racing with P1 and P2.

Keep promising myself a break as I haven't really been enjoying the game overall lately but always seem to end up giving it another go.

Sneaked ahead of you in qualifying, but I'm not converting it to wins - out-braked myself a couple of times and had a P4 and a P5. Very close and right racing, and it was all pretty clean.

I'm finding B a bit boring, mostly as I'm starting 14th and there's really not much chance of progress around there if it's all clean up front.

Deep Forest isn't a favourite - might have done it if it was the B race, but can't find the enthusiasm for it on C.

It hasnt been great weeks recently but just enough to keep going, I keep saying next poor week and I’m having a break, but that was years ago now 😁

Sneaked ahead eh? 😳

🤣 great time, I’m going for more!

At my level Bathurst has been pretty good fun, had some real good tussles this week with folk who wanted to race and two wide around most corners, still would have preferred it being gr3 😁

haha I think I'm a classic case of a bad workman blaming his tools, oh and magpie syndrome after seeing all the streamers with their fancy shiny rigs.

There is always that hope that today will be the day the races are great!!! TBH I'm enjoying and spending more time in time trialing than racing, really starting to enjoy pushing the limits.

haha I think, "this will be my last week before a break" has the exact same success rate as "this will be my last pint and I'll go home"

Many tracks are absolutely wonderful... When nobody else is around. 🤣

Ain’t that the truth!!

With that in mind, has anyone seen Sparks Theory is hosting an endurance championship.

I’m toying with the idea of doing it, but it’s teams of two. Anyone have any interest?

It’s 6 hour events with the schedule in the photo.

@brockie wasn't Spa where you unlocked the secret sauce of the steering sensitivity the first time?

This looks like a great week, I like all of those tracks in fairness, think I will focus time on B though as it's a shocking combo for me, last time out I was about 7,000 globally and was nearly 3 seconds of the WR, determined to try and get good at it.

Effin was mate! 😂

I even did the time trial at 270 and it was even better! Golded it after 3 laps!!! This is heaven for me, B all week! The racing at spa is gr3 is something mate.

You can see I don’t get out much right? 🤣

Just seen the other races, what the hell? Watkins glen and Sardegna A reverse, I won’t have time for all those! What you doing to us PD - that’s made my day

Would have been good if they had split these 3 races over the last 3 weeks.

Wonder if there will be some random surprise or the usual road, Gr and Gr4.

I'd like to spend a bit of time in Gr at Watkins Glenn as I really struggled in Gr3 when it was there but it's a cracking course.

Anyone racing in B lobbies tonight?

Race B?
Click to expand...
I’ve been playing some B today bro, I have to say for the first time in a longtime, I’ve played B after B after B.

Really good racing, guys being really clean, but this morning, i did have to dish out some justice, luckily I didn’t get penalised because actually who am I to dish it out, but watch below, he was doing this for a few races until I had to equalise him 😂

Really enjoyed Bathurst and spa will be equally awesome next week

I’ve managed to find some pace, sods law it’s when I can’t use my account 😂😂

Spent most of my time this we time trialing and tinkering with the rig like a mad hatter. I’ve gone down a rabbit hole! I’ve had the measure app out on the iPhone and been changing the set up degree by degree like a lunatic!

@Stringerbell no love for McNulty?

What's a track that you're not very good at, but you do the daily races anyway, because you enjoy it?
For me, it's Mt. Panorama. :)

😂😂 for me it’s Interlagos and Watkins Glen. Both tracks are just so fun to drive round though!
