58.1 Race C! A lot of time to be had, in the 1st corner and as always the bus stop! And I'm switching steering wheel tomorrow also!! So I had to have a base line too boot!

Hopefully by the weekend I'll be dialed into this track
 
Guys I am having an absolute blast in race A, beating AS drivers, the racing is really clean and everybody happy poodling around in those little fun mobiles, I need to improve on my 1.41.6xx but just a tad to overtake @kowalski__1 😁 but not sure I can get to @TheNormsk time of 1.41.3xx, which he chucked in quickly 😉

I’m sticking here for the week and may well unleash the G70 at the weekend at the Glen, owned by the Glen @newmedia_dev 👊

I struggled in my first couple races. Turns-out, the line when running three+ wide through turn one (two, three, four, five...) is just a bit different than flying solo during qualifiers. Been freakin' gold since then, though!!🤣

The times are quickening up, tonight I was against A+ drivers so I know I can cut it in that crowd, for this race at least 🤣

Managed to win one, attached was a super close race - the racing I just amazing, the one in the shot, A+ fighting it out and came back from 3 secs out after 3 laps, so much fun

The pack was my big challenge to start with...cars are every-flippin'-where. My first two races hacked my SR from full S to mid-A. Third race I shout-out "Dropping back" to try and stay safe and what happens? Four people join me...bit of a love/hate thing so rolled with it best I could, lol. Been running 42.3xx - 6xx laps in clean air.👍

Personally, I think rounds like this week's A draw in racers like moths to flame. Too boring/slow/lame for the arcade types because it's not an easy car to extract good lap times from, especially at DF. Power understeer, monster weight transfer and 80's era turbo 'smoothness' (🤣) make it feel like you're sitting on a milk crate piloting a hay wagon off a cliff with ropes...and I can't wait to do it again.

More races at Watkins Glen for me this evening. I got my quick time down to 1:57:1XX and I could get a sub 1:56 time if I tried. Both of my races were full of lap 1 heroes and the general lack of awareness on the track. I got my nose chopped and hit in general all night. Just ridiculous. I did send some people to the shadow realm and got called out post race as i should have given the spots back, but I didn't. And to make it worse, it's a driver I have driven clean with over multiple races and I get why they were upset. I'll be done this week as I'm not fan of the bumper cars going on.
 
Yeah I had similar in my first few races tonight at Barecelona, punted regularly, not huge punts but guys going for gaps that are not there and not accounting for their tow and needing to brake a touch earlier.

By my 4th race I was pretty peeved but started P2 and thanks to the epic starts and epic brakes on the beetle i took P1 and scattered off leaving the faster man in p2 to deal with horde of zombies. Credit to the man, he kept it clean in T1.

Final race was really quite excellent, pack of 4 cars p3 to p7, everyone clearly trying to be clean. Video coming shortly, bit of a slow burn but a good motorsport nerds race. Again a very brave T1 pass but this time on the final lap. When you get a race like this thr game is so enjoyable, like that one drive from 18 holes that you Crack down the middle and keeps you coming back.
