Finally have a win this week, been some very enjoyable hard fought races in C this week, surprisingly clean and this was too
Edit. Forgot to say, was also from 10th!!
Edit2. Well another win presents itself, I’m actually starting to like race C, you can’t be thinking of winning until around lap 8, if you are lucky to that point

Told myself that if I couldn't improve on my 1:37.762 Race C QT with the Atenza, I would turn off the PS5 and put on the Indy 500. So I, um... did a 1:37.761. Eh, let's go try to have some fun before the reset! 😬
Race 1: Started P3. There were some clumsy moves by myself and others, but it was mostly clean racing. Finished P4.
Race 2: Started P3. Same as above. I felt that I hindered a G70 with clumsy errors under braking on the final lap, so I gave up the position at the line. Finished P5.
Race 3: Started P9. Bumped wide by an NSX, braking into Turn 3 on Lap 4. Took a few laps to regain ground. Went side-by-side with a G70 into Turns 6 and 7 on Lap 10, and got wiped out. Finished P16.
Race 4: Started P9. Did well to gain positions, but silly penalties began to disrupt my rhythm, dropping me back to where I started. Finished P9.
Race 5: Started P8. Same as above. Thought I could at least hold on to my starting position again, but lost it at the line. Finished P9.
Four out of five races P10 or better is better than Friday, so... yay? Just in time to catch the last 50 laps of the Indy 500!

Awesome time mate, a thousandth 🤣 well, it’s an improvement! I couldn’t quite get into the 1.37s, was just a whisker off at 1.38.1xxTold myself that if I couldn't improve on my 1:37.762 Race C QT with the Atenza, I would turn off the PS5 and put on the Indy 500.

The Indy 500 was eventful as usual, a tale of missed opportunities and pit lane mishaps! The Monaco GP also threw up some drama for once with the new 2 stop ruling.
Now for a last few race C before the switch, see if there’s a couple of tenths out there for me.
Have a good week guys

Race B is defo one of those slightly annoying ones.... Either way, I'm enjoying it as long as I can start near the front.
The one race I started in the middle, I got absolutely smashed off track and got reset about half a km further back despite already having lost about 15 seconds in the dirt 😂😂
Anyway.... Managed a win just now thank god!

Good to see you there, love a bit of Big Willow. Slipstream a bit nuts though

Yeah.... Confused me in the first race!!!
Great to race with you, I watched the replays, you had some bad luck for sure 😭
I'm glad my bump didn't impact you too much, I went airborne so I'm glad i was able to slow enough to not hit you off track!!

Oh man, is it that stupid custom slip where you almost can't escape on merit because they can follow so easily?

RS and RH combination again (Race C) 🙄
I guess it's all those posts on this forum where people are clamoring for this combination, right? right? 🤔
RM+RH I can get behind. RS+RM I can understand, but in this game there is a massive gulf on time between RS and RH, and given the single file nature of Suzuka, the first few days will be chaotic as people try to sort out whether RS first is best or RS last is best.
I know I am in the minority but I would kill for a fuel savings race on RH tires. I suppose there's too many hot shoes that think racing is foot to the floor all the time, rather than race management. Or heck, how about simply giving us the option to stop or not? RS+RH would be fine if the wear was balanced enough to make an 1 stop strategy on RS take about the same amount of time as a no stop on RH

I am away most of the week and tbh doesn't look like I am missing much. Maybe Gr3 at Suzuka as a sort of litmus test of my progress with a wheel but otherwise ... meh.

Yes, you are
I understand your point but fuel saving races ends in just one valid strategy that is short shifting to avoid pit stop.
We had lot of this races on the past (the last one I remember was Gr.4 on Nurburgring GP with the WRX as the meta) and it gets so boring at mid week.
I would like a fuel saving race if it really involves strategy (as it sometimes happens in GTWS long races)
Edit: grammar

I gave it a few attempts on a burner account (started ahead of you in one), it’s not as bad as I initially thought but it’s not really that good either. Qualifying is absolutely essential because these Gr.4 cars are so painfully slow and lame you almost can’t overtake at all. Utter shame to see Willow Springs wasted on these cars when it finally returned.

Race A looks like a genuine blast! Definitely gonna buy at least two more of the Carry, with the plan to leave one as-stock, one to tune without a widebody, and one to tune with a widebody. That’s also before we consider the possibility that it could get an engine swap in the future, in which case I’d likely buy a fourth!

I worked out you need about 0.9s advantage to be safe!!!

Two Race Cs today.
First one started P5, got knocked back down to last, but made my way back up to 4th.
Second I started P8, finished P2 🙂 - both races using the Genesis. Didn't see another Genesis, nor, strangely enough given their apparent qualifying strength, any BMWs!

You were doing good! I didn't recognize you - name only shows as a dot unless I switch between names (then I never know who everyone else is
)I've had a P2 and a few P5s running the 650. NSX seems good and there was also a competitive G70 in a couple of races I did. Such close racing that it's a bit of a lottery with the results.
