I tried the cayman and was able to match my initial QT not sure I’m skilled enough to get anywhere close to Damien’s time (like within a second)


On to the racing, I did one this morning all fine as hadn’t set a QT finished 11th

Then did a daily A no QT 12th to 5th as all of us still getting to grips with the combo

Did my first proper race in C my QT time I 1/100th off Barney in the same sub meta/sister meta car. 1.31.1

Started P2 pitted lap 2 and came out in P6 but because I can’t see the track map I can’t judge pit gaps, got held up for 3 laps set purples on the penultimate and final lap but sadly not fastest lap, and brought home a respectable 2nd to 2nd race where had the spacing been better I think I could have won it.

I can only manage a 1.45, but it did put me P5 on the grid (P1 had a 1.40.xx!). Needless to say he won by miles, with a fastest lap 5 seconds faster than mine 🫤, but I managed a P3 🙂.

The winner was the only person without an SR down at the end of the race......

Like you @brockie, I had an ominous feeling when I realised I was the only C/S driver on a grid of B/B and B/C.

Think I'll stick with Brands this week.

I don’t have inclination towards B or C this week, potentially I’ll do some C at the weekend but I can’t fit in any race C in my lunch or before my morning run!

Race A is technical I think is the best word for it, I managed a 1.41.1xx already which is 184 in the world at the time of putting it and put me on pole for my race earlier tonight, finished 8th 🤣 I reckon unless you are away a fair bit you’re getting thumped on this track and clumsy people are going to frustrate the hell out of me this week,

But on we go 😁

I agree @brockie this will be an odd week for a lot of people, last week was also a little odd with LS and a pit stop it’s always polarising using LS and TM and still keeping TM only 4 laps the mind boggles.

I’ll probably flit between A and C as I have as I have said before zero interest in the Nurbs on GT7 for racing, other titles yes but I just don’t think GT style racing works there as well as others.

Also for A I tried CSA in a few laps and I don’t think it helps much.
 
So I pitted lap 1 in to 2 this time, a much better gap slotting in to 11th

Still held up a bit but was able to keep out of their battles.

Started P2 finished P1 with the fastest lap not a bad Monday.

Edit:

Everyone is free to race I think that’s a given unless it’s blue flags and even then the only have to drive their lines while being cognisant of other faster cars (the reality is most let the faster car through, but it’s not the rules per se)

But the only thing with the brands pit race is regardless of compound differences some times, you would think people would be aware enough to not get in the way of someone who’s already pitted and caught them? Maybe I’m wrong but I’m not racing them, in a couple of laps they are going to be 20s back?

Apologies for the delay I had some technical issues today! I quite like Daily Race A although the track is very technical. Nurb 1 lap is silly! C's good for strategy though!

Thanks as always Tidgney, when I use your brake markers I’m always a bit quicker. Cheers Bondwhar

That was a big problem last week.
Coming out from pits with fresh softs to encounter a backmarker who didnt pit yet and the dude decides to give battle braking late at every corner and almost parking the car at every apex.

Due to the lack of power in Gr.4 this is a real problem and It happened to me several times on the week with different people.

I don’t know what the answer is “what is sportsmanship” videos clearly don’t help and appreciating the position they are really fighting for doesn’t help either as I just think people see “Px” rather than their net position when the stops shake out.

It’s not gonna be a popular thought but I am starting to think a lot of people have to focus so hard on being consistent/fast/keeping it on the track that their overall race thinking just doesn’t get a lot of time when they are trying so hard to be fast but it’s tunnel vision.
