Ah man... Just did 2 races at Kyoto on 2nd account and even though both had a decent ending, feel like it could have gone much, much better - especially Race 1....
Race 1 - Start in P10 surrounded by Citroens and Huracans so it took me half a lap to catch up to the ones in front. They also fought hard and as I was going to punch through a couple, the obvious and standard bumps, shoves and hits take place so I don't go past and in fact, end up in P13.... However, I was still in the race so by the start of lap 5, I was in P7/ P8 but this time, at the start of Sector 3, I had the opportunity to snatch 2 places for a P5 but I was overexcited heading into the chicane and had to save the car instead! Did manage to take one last position for a P7 finish but I could have got a P5 or better for sure...
Race 2 - I start in P9 and again, had to wait a bit to catch up to those ahead but this time, with no issues, I overtook one car and even pulled a 2s gap on him. I caught up to the much slower P7 ahead but instead of allowing me by and working together (it was crystal clear he might as well let me by as I was much faster) he spent the next 2 laps blocking me in any way possible and slowing the both of us down... So much so that I lost the 2s gap behind me. Dude was fast (he started from the back with no QT time and flew past the others behind) so I let him by and planned to try and get past both once he inevitably gets screwed by Captain Slow... Almost pulled it off in the end but at least I did finally overtake on the last corner of the race so I finished in P8, 1 position ahead of my start..
Race 1 replay was much more eventful so here it is... Also could not resist leaving a comment for Mr Slow at the end 🤣 😂
