Tonyt I'll finally get my hands on the wheel at Glen. Gonna try to reach the low '46 by the end of the weekend, starting with the McLaren, then the Lexus and eventually the M6 if I can't get a decent QT with the latters.
Since I'll have 4 hrs drive to get back home, the first sessions will be just reconnaissance cause I'll be lil tired. Then, from tomorrow morning, it will be hard pushing.
Wish an excellent weekend to everyone.
Being tired after a 4 hour drive, of which some if not all of the kilometers will be on finest swiss roads, which seem to be made out of lindt chocolate, so smooth traveling at 120kmh, is not possible 😏. Switzerland and Austria have such nice roads, so that ze Germans can rest for a while, before they enter Bella italia.

Watkins Glenn 1:48.7xx (don't worry, i didnt had many qualification laps, I will improve on that today)
Anyway, my last to races at the Glen weren't as nice as they were in the rest of the week. I came home late, so maybe it was my condition. I was really afraid, cause of the update, but if they changed anything, i would have read it here... I started the audi R8 time trial. I am using chase cam and the R8 looked awkward from the back. But it dtove nothing like a R8 not even a TT. O had no fun, got bronze and it was enough for me. Next, the corvette cxr time trial. The moving wing reminded me a bit of a blue whale. The corvette is a mix of a banana and a whale... I don't like all those super fast cars. Partly, because the faster the car the lesser is the immersion of being in a car. (i hope i understood immersion right, but you know what I mean.), i was just happy to finished that with another bronze and i started smiling because it was time for Group 3. I had time for only 1 and a half lap in the McLaren. As always stable drive, but to slow. That wasn't the problem though. I guess the corvette cx r with the Bop taking of about 300 kg? From it for the time trial and the three trillion bhp, destroyed my feeling for the gt3.! I entered the race in a Bmw m6 and because it was night, i had 2 DR A drivers (badboy baldrick as always at nights and another,) about 8 DR. B, 1DR D (without a Quali time,??? Why was he there) and the Rest DR C obviously.
I swear, i drove and drove and it was all like the first race in group 4 after the horrible update, some months back. I started 9 and finished 5th, which i just noticed in the last lap. Do actually great race, but it didn't felt good. Next race in the GTR. A typical race incident in lap 1 and the Porsche was last me in front of him. Many quit. In the End I finished P 11 one second in front of a DR A. 🥳
In both races, i was thinking about the time trial in the R8 and The history of Gran Turismo. Gt 1 was just for me and two friends for split screen racing and bringing a supra to 1000hp... I was playing "driver" a lot and the birds eye view GTA's 😁
But GT 2 was for me everything i ever wanted, i even gave back my unicorn... I loved the subaru who could outrun the nsx at the start, it was amazing (i was young maybe around 12-14 and car games were all about F1 or NFS, not my cup of tea. But cars,that average people can buy, and feel good on a race track was amazing.... Yesterday I really wanted to compare driving a civic on high speed ring to this R8 fiasco.
By the way, i am buying a wheel, i always thought the moment I buy a wheel, I will never be driving again, but a long reply message to me convinced me. Either i buy it with the ps5..... Well i hit the stores and get some first information.. And if someone feels like giving advice about a wheel, thats great, but i have no idea about anything technical in consoles and computer. I felt like a hacker when I knew Nvidia makes graphic cards,, so you get the idea 😂 sorry for the potato post, but i felt like i lost my last friend from the old times yesterday. 😞

That post also reminded me of taking a 9 hour drive to return my oldest child to his mums house, after the summer one year, only to get straight home to race online on assetto corsa 🤣 my wife thought I was mad 🤣
 
Been an interesting hour for me - First, and I do not take pleasure in saying this, have to thank @newmedia_dev for demonstrating the GTR's potential, which helped me almost execute the best outcome in improving my qualy time at Watkins Race B... 😜 🫣

I also now am very confident in driving the car so hopped into my first race of the week and boy, that was gonna be a hectic 10 minutes!

Now I am pleased with the result but feel a bit unlucky because I could have finished a bit higher but I had bad timing with some lag spikes, being slowed down often and at times, felt I was defended against/ overtaken a few times in a not too nice way. But had some epic side-by-sides with EEREIS and executed a few overtakes on each other for a few laps, which was fun.

Nice time mate and racing with royalty 👊

Got some work to do to get closer to you and Glen and Barney 😁

👍
 
I’ve just stuck with B this week, not liking the RH tyres much though!

I need something like that Honda TC @ Tokyo expressway again so we can trade some paint 😁

Enjoy mate
Yeah, that race I basically ended up in the barrier 3 laps out of 5 🤣

The race hards aren’t that bad at WG, just brake and coast a little more, promise ;)

Daily A is a weird one, clearly the assists are faster which is fine, what is not fine is starting pole and being rear ended by 9th place…..yeay…

The racing has been fine, there is petulant spoiled men/children everywhere so just let that go.

Honestly don’t feel it’s the best week to come back after a holiday but I’m still chill so going with the flow.

You can use assists in Race A? Is it faster though? I find that you have to get the car moving and sliding a lot, won't the assists mess that up?

I'm still in the top 400 as of this moment. #6 in Canada :D
