The Audi TT.
It went well. I got by everybody. Probably because it's only Monday, and nobody else spent the weekend practicing.
By the time Wednesday rolls around, I'm sure it won't be so easy.

No brake, had the gas pedal floored and wasn't getting any wheel spin

Hard to medium seems to be the best strategy, changing at the end of lap 1. I did 2 races today, started P11 in the first, got knocked down to last place on the first lap, and still finished second. Started P8 in the second, finished P2 again - the guy in P1 in both races had no QT, pitted at the same time as me to get rid of the hards, but was way faster than anyone else!The Audi TT.

And I guess, as an AT user like me, you had to use the fuel map to save fuel?

I’m off on holiday today with no racing until next Monday, so I’ll let everyone in on my little secret. The RCZ is a beast at Big Willow and will become the meta. 1h14m and shift at about 3/4 of the power bar.
5 races yesterday, 4 wins in the RCZ and a p2 in the Viper.

No gap, just another dirty impatient driver.

So you were pole? I never got near you. It was a good race trying to hold off MuffinMan and Nickel 5. 👍
I just did some QT for Race B. Tried various cars but my favorite right now is the Porsche RSR. Currently at a 1:34.995 but sectors indicate I should be able to get to low 1:34s. Need more practice that's not a mid (ahem) work day...

Any time I do a grid start I tend to do much better than the people around me. I stand on the brake and accelerator on TC1 and at lights out I let off the brake. As soon as I get rolling I turn to TC0 and off I go. Tigney will use the e-brake in the same way, but I don’t have that button mapped.

Here is some of the action from my second race. I started last.
The clip starts at the end of lap 14, where myself and the other driver have to pit.
He screwed something up in the turn before the pits, because he slowed down too much. Anyhow, we enter the pits side-by-side, and leave the pits the same way.
Approaching the final turn, I knew he wouldn't let me get to his inside, so I gambled with a wide line.
It almost worked, but I went just a tiny bit too fast.
Instead of second, I got fourth. But it was still pretty darn fun. 👍
I'll start the next race from the front, and see how that works out.

Right at this moment, with about .1 secs to make a decision, what is your suggestion that he do?
It looks to me like the guy in front, who I just witnessed put his tires off track and is going slower is leaving a gap to his right. You closed that gap as he approached it, going faster than you were.
Is he just supposed to drive as slowly as a car with dirty tires, even though his are clean? Further, why punish him for your mistake?

I'm hopeful for Race B this week. Didn't have time to play last week and today had 30 min after work to try out the cars.
Didn't drive the meta GT-R yet but happy with the times using Supra GT500 and the Porsche. Can improve for sure but will continue tomorrow and enter a few races as well 🙂

@GrumpyOldMan I'm coming for you old man. First qualy time today: 1:36:xxx
Last qualy time today: 1:33:9xx
I'm approx 5 tenths off of you. I'll get there tonight. What car are you using? I'm finding the most speed with the BRZ. Then Mercedes, then Porsche. Might give whatever you're on a shot

Looks like Race B this week. I don't mind gardens in reverse though I suspect it'll be a 911 fest. Wondering what else will work? McLaren? Z4?

@NevilleNobody GTR seems to be popular too, I've seen a varied mixture so far though so try your luck. Just needs to be agile.
Fifth win overall and first in a long while. I'm quite chuffed considering I'd never tried that track in reverse config. It was quite close in the end you can visually see my talent run out but a wins a win.

Poor @Leon Kowalski was getting some abuse due to the loading bug!
I went from 10th to 3rd - but considering 11 cars quit before the start, it wasn't such a great achievement 🙈

The GT-R appears to be the META but I don't get on with it. Very happy with the 911. The Huracan appears to be pretty quick around there as well.

Big issue i have with Gardens reverse is I can pull off excellent qualy laps but hard to repeat them in race.

EDIT: I just uploaded my QT replay for Dragon Trail, 1:32.640 in the V12 Vantage. It's in Showcase, search for tag "gtp6". It's not pretty, but it may help some of you. Or not.
No, as someone else pointed out a while ago, it's "Get off my Line!"
Don't forget this is the first day. It always takes a couple of days for people to get used to the track, especially on RHs.
I don't get along with the GT-R on this track, either. Loving the V12 Vantage - it just fits me perfectly.
[Begin teasing mode] Yeah, good luck with that. I'm at 1:32.640 now, which is more than 1 1/4 seconds faster than you. And there's plenty more there, because I'm still not clean through the opening left-handers, and I'm also a hack at the back chicane (do we call it a chicane?). I'm not too worried, but bring it on!@GrumpyOldMan I'm coming for you old man. First qualy time today: 1:36:xxx

edit: I was on a 1:32:xx lap before my last race but ran out of time before I could complete it. Started on pole and lead wire to wire for the win. Biggest gap was 6 seconds smallest (post start) was about 3 seconds at the finish because I bobbled going for fastest lap into the hairpin.
GT-R was fast here, probably my closest competition. The BRZ definitely has a 1:32 in it for me, a skilled driver could maybe get a 1:31, maybe? I feel like I'm leaving a lot of time on the table through T1, the long triple left, the hairpin, and the chicane.

Race C, which is a better strategy with Audi TT?
How much does fuel-saving cost you in lap times? If you are 1 sec/lap slower with hards, then fuel-saving shouldn't add more than 0,2 sec/lap to be a better strategy. 🤔
- Fuel-saving, 14 laps RM + 1 lap RH
- No fuel-saving, 11 laps RM + 4 laps RH
