Yeah I saw that mate, it’s a great combo and you must be right at the thick end! Funny that you improved in the Audi over the Elantra where as I did the opposite

I'm stuck in that hinterland currently, hanging on right at the bottom end of DR B - lots of desperados that don't want to drop down to C......

I've not driven the Audi much previously, but it suits Willow really well and was dominating the races I was in yesterday.

I don't know how people are driving the Huracan - tried it out, and it just seems to lose the back end on every corner. I even tried it with ASC, but it was still the same!

Had some races yesterday and 5 in a row were won by a guy in a Huracan, he was doing low 1:20's out front and had a 5 second lead by the end 😮

It feels loose but does seem to grip pretty well, but I'm too inconsistent with it.
 
After playing Sugo for 2 days, Willow Springs feels like a breath of fresh air. Both the circuits are such a stark contrast to one another.

While Sugo being a narrow track is surrounded by terrain on either or both sides, Willow is wide open as if staring into wilderness. I tried the Audi TT, Mazda3 & Elantra. Audi TT is the meta in overall performance here. Audi TT has been one of my favorite cars in the game since the start & the TT being the meta makes me happy. Finally, the awesome car is getting some much needed TLC.

BTW, end of S1 (upward rolling right hander) & whole of S2 are such a thrill to drive through especially in the Audi TT.
 
Had another decent night in Race A, the 370Z is better than I expected in terms of not handling super loose, this often ruins road car races as no one can keep it on track but this car is relatively buttoned down. My DR is remaining steady on the cusp of DRA, so holding my own.

The track is surprisingly conducive to passing, with these cars anyway, as it is very easy to run wide so if you keep a good tight line you can nab places. Pretty good stuff so far and nice to have another proper circuit after the debacle of yabbi dabbi and Montreal, both horrible race tracks.
 
Jaysus. I can’t race these longer races at all.

Last week at Suzuka and this week at Sugo I just can’t get through 20+ mins without at least one mistake.

I’m back on the uae account so mid A and starting top 3 with quite a few poles and I’ve lost 5k DR in 2 days 😂😂😂

Think I’m going to have to camp out in C for the next month or so at least and learn how to string consistent laps together.

I see somebody's snuck in a fast time on their US account - in the TT too.....😂

Yeah I was quite chuffed with I have to say, decided to use the alt at lunch instead of red Dr my main account, the alt is on about 22k and full sr and had a couple of belters with the Americas 😁

Not sure how I keep beating my time with the alt, at least I know time is there

Nice work mate!

Realised my alt account was on abs weak so tried that when I got home, only a few laps but managed a 1.20.011 frustratingly 😁

I have my wheel Sen setting at 270, I did see one of the alien times a guy was using asm, couldn’t get it to work myself but maybe it does for someone else
 
So I did my first livery in game, specifically for SUGO Fairlady Z Daily and now went to try it.

Did three races and three times been second!
I did a photo of 2nd and 3rd, which was much faster and I almost won!

Here is my best Qualifying time, that wasn't admited for that 3rd race, otherwise I would start 1st.

Nice lap.

That car looks a right handful on that track, downhill into turns and needing a weight transfer flick, looks fun

👍
 
So, up until last night my only experience of SUGO was that god awful HPEV 'experience' they added. I didn't pay much attention, just wanted to get it done with.

By that measure, my 60 minutes or so of solid qualifying laps between 2-3am (no temptation to race at those hours) have been essential and in my handful of races today, that experience showed through as much quicker drivers than I were struggling to share the road with others. I managed to go up a few positions despite hanging back for someone I rear-ended on Lap 1.

As other have said this combo is a shining example for a new circuit, it's brilliant fun!

Some unfortunate controller issues which have been plaguing me recently caused my session to end abruptly (today I learned that I can handle bumps from others much more graciously than when my own equipment sabotages my race!). Other than that... No notes, as they say.

I'm slowly catching you up - ran 10 laps today, and took 0.08 seconds off my QT.....

Another 8 days and I'll be ahead of you 😂

The grass and curb physics don't help, often you can't apply full throttle on curbs even if you're mostly pointing straight. Everyone is binning it. Are you using TC? You could try some countersteer assistance but when I tried that at suzuka it made me noticeably slower. Idk if you've modded your RS pedals but fitting springs to the brake has helped so much
