@BuzzdoggZ

Mate, seriously amazing lap there

Hats off

Thank you 🙏

This car track combo just suits me for whatever reason. It's been a great week for farming DR and I should have a nice little buffer now for tougher weeks ahead.

I finally hit DR A after turning on and starting pole in an all BS lobby, won it and suddenly 29970 DR 🤣 following race with 6 A+ I was 8th 🤔 so took a few more to finally get over the line,

Usually I do well at Tokyo so I reckon this will be a Renault twingo but hopefully something a little faster 😁

Not sure where I’ll be next week, gr4 willow springs Alfa 4C could be great too

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 😆.

I can help you with this if you want, you can use the mechanics against the system. Also you don’t need to do gear spamming just work the exits a little better in a higher gear.

I don’t change down to second following hol01 but I’m .5 back from him.

Jus thinking, NGP full lap with the Radical would be a cool race B.

Here’s me doing my Moses thing, parting the seas 😁

32k DR I’m gonna rinse this one every chance I get this weekend

Yes, I'm not having a problem with the Merc - seems to be perfectly happy using a higher gear, and more stable too.

It's some other tracks where I need to just tap the brakes to get the downshift needed. I also find the opposite solution sometimes, where running over a kerb forces an early upshift.

Gardens ...... the awkward weird left before the 4 apex right hander. AT REFUSES to shift down and you cannot rotate the dang car.

Today has been a hell at CGV
Many of players don't know this track is not for overtaking
You must wait rival's mistakes

good job bro 👍🏻 I still haven't opened sport mode since getting A/S . . I figured I'll go back again when I finish races in single player, but only human comedy are fun ones :/

 

[Lightsider74]

Few races this morning all close and clean like this one. Very close at the end. CSA saved me a couple of times!

I know the feeling, shelve it whilst your on top 😁 but this weeks A is a DR farm and I reckon next weeks will be too at Tokyo

Check this out for a close win, he hunted me down from a couple of secs out from lap 2, the final corner was epic!!

Awesome action man!

This is really where it's been at this week. I normally save any exciting replays, but the racing has been so good I found myself saving every single one, so I had to cut it out!

I've had a few races on my alt this afternoon, and it's so "different". I had one driver being so different that I just had to laugh out loud afterwards.

That was absolutely class mate!!! Lovely control of the car to move it around and get the run on him!!

Have loved following you boys duke it all week in race A! Has looked like an absolute blast

 

[brockie]

@benjoi84 it really has been an epic week, I’m upto 35k DR, if next week is a peach at Tokyo I’ll settling into DR A for the foreseeable 😂

@Stringerbell missed ya this week bro, you had a decent time on A, you not feel it? I also see you got an epic race C time above Glen, so that’s pretty much something special too 😁

Yeah I was enjoying it at the start of the week but tbh I’ve fallen out of love with the racing lately. It’s just so hard to enjoy it when the clean races are so few and far between so I’ve just been doing some time trialing which has been fun. Even to the point where I was on 28k DR and it didn’t even appeal to me to farm the DR to get into A. Which any other week I’ve had that opportunity I’ve been like a crack head chasing a fix with it 😂

On race C, think it’s a hollow victory as I’m not sure if Barney or Glen have put too many laps into it but I’ll take it 😂 was trying to push into top 1000 ended up about 1100 which I was happy with.

Will probably just time trial Laguna seca next week too

Up for a Time Trial challenge at Laguna next week then? Bring it on! 👿

Let’s go, I love Laguna and Willow

 

[Stringerbell]

@Lightsider74 is there a time trial event or are we having a leaderboard match?

I’ll have to raise my game going up against a couple of heavyweights like you two!!! Im
In 💪💪💪

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

Is next week's races the group with Tokyo? From how I understand gtsh-rank.com puts the current races or in this case farthest future races at the top. Thus I would think the group with Trial Mountain would be next week and Tokyo the week after. https://gtsh-rank.com/daily/
Whatever week is actually Tokyo I'll try to be somewhat competitive and maybe at Big Willow too.

I think they stack up rather than down which would make sense so willow next week and Laguna?

Just a friendly competitive QT battle alongside the racing, pretty much like usual....

Do you know if it will be Gr.3 or 4?
