Managed to improve my Spa time and I’m warming to this GTR in a big way 😁 have to say I didn’t try any other cars because me and this car are one! Can’t remember a time when I just kept eeking out time all week,

I’m hoping my good fortune this week carry’s into the weekend, probably by Saturday night I’ll have wished I brought battlefield 6 instead

Enjoy the weekend all

All yours my beer friend! I cannot stand spa for online racing for some reason although I think it’s the same scars I’ve developed with the “ring” as well over the years.

Is the racing good or in GT Spa fashion a little “contact-y”?
 
Seemed like whatever hiccups I had with entering a race earlier had stopped, so I did another round of Race A. During the qualifying, I slightly improved my time to 0:47.415, placing me barely within the top 7.1k. Ended up getting a Q7, but then my car stopped during the autodrive so I just left. Might try again later.

EDIT: Tried another round, and qualified for 8th, but wrecked out badly enough to leave. But hey, at least the race loaded properly. Progress!

EDIT2: Actually, I might just wait until the next round of Daily Races arrive on Monday, especially since there’s a notable storm coming through my neck of the woods this weekend.

Daily Race A: uncivilized yanks and their silly obsession with left turns...

Yes, amen to that. It best describes their behavior during the race. And they have their egos too. They want to win by doing anything possible, (dirty tricks up their sleeve).

They can do all this knowing there are no reductions in DR or Safe Driver...

Racing should be a fun experience, not a demolition derby. Just saying. Maybe after the Spec-III update, PD will enforce more strict penalties and punishments for those who break the rules by hitting other drivers or cutting corners.

Now that would certainly bag my vote.

Quite a few have fun doing this as the Plymouth Superbird at those speeds are delicately balanced and all it takes is a tap on the rear quarter panels to spin them off and they know they won't be punished so they continue. I know I've been targeted by three different players repeatedly...

The problem Chris is that people are naturally faster and different places.

This can cause frustration so people push to pass or in a lot of situations panic and tense up, they also weave wildly to break the tow so look “slow” and “erratic”

It all depends on the lobbies and pace and a whole bunch of things.

For me it’s more track limits and consistency for other people poor race management etc it’s all very relative.

We all hate the penalty system until you race to a level that it isn’t a thing because the people you are racing are much more consistent, predictable and ultimately safer to drive with

In the Daily Race A, it's not a matter of being faster, there is no faster or slower, it's just a matter of slipstream and careful maneuvering just to slowly being able to pass each other, as mentioned above it's a delicate balance with that car on this track with 15 others all over you and one tap on the rear quarter panel and you are off in the infield or worse the wall to get battered by others. (The ghosting doesn't work perfectly)

I still do the race because I like the challenge of surviving the scrums hoping to get a podium (usually won't)

I've seen it live on Digit's stream at the beginning of the week also, it's awful. I think I'll might go rather for the new Logitech G rs50, since Fanatec has those issues quite often. Ecosystem isn't large as Fana's one, but the few mod available are really good (Momo or MPI i.e.).

Ahh didnt know about Digit...
I let his lives playing on background while work.

I hope they fix it soon...isnt a cheap product to have this kind of service. Btw, I avoid if possible any driver update if everything is working fine. So this is giving me much less freeze issues than who updated recently
 
Race A is again a peculiar test. Im suspecting we get Nascar in Spec3. They have been testing draft extensively lately. Now in race A it seems to be a bit too weak, as in a clean race passing cleanly is very hard. This leads to people tapping each other out. Cleand racing with such weak draft would require side drafting or heavy contact penalties.

Currently #53 globally - not too shabby.

If you start from pole you just hug the yellow line for 7 laps and no-one can make a clean pass. Makes p1 a dull boy. With such weak (short) slipstream and no side draft there is no way to make 2nd row work.

Had a glorious day racing at Spa, everyone clean, top 5 guys sharing wins throughout,

Had some proper jammy wins too, 1 where I followed the leader mostly and managed to get ahead, got a pen and was sweating like hell and just as I served it, he lost it 😂

Another where I’d beat this guy twice, third time around he got the better of me only to lose it last corner, despite my best attempts to miss him under braking.

Super day of racing.

Enjoy

Improved my QT time by a 1/10th just to get ahead of @TechnoIsLove tbh 🤣

I’ve done a couple of races today with good results but flagged to flag this one with pit 13 in to 14

Good day really 😝

Great going. I was able to improve my best but to a modest 1:15:599 in the Audi TT. The NSX is the preferred car apart from the Citroen, which I tried both but couldn't get to grips with both. The 4C was my preferred car till I stumbled upon the Audi TT. What a car. Gave me instant confidence.

Am enjoying the Watkins Glen race but last week's Dragon Trail TT was more thrilling because of the RH/RM strategy that could be applied.

15.5 is a great time, don’t knock yourself at all on that as it’s a solid time and the race doesn’t just play to QT hero’s either so you are doing great!

Seen a few people over the week and more at the weekend using the TT, I might try it (I think Cy’s anti meta) has helped bring it in to viability.

Ultimately I think for the majority of people the NSX is the competitive car in faster paced lobbies (not in dr or sr!)

I love driving the TT it gave me my first Daily C win and also my funniest moment way back when, it’s a solid drive!

One of my funnest videos and memories

The TT is the chosen one for me too.
I cant drive the NSX, never understood how to extract pace from that bloody thing.

By the way, can some one explain me what kind of sourcery or glitch happened here?
P2 went off in what it seemed a wheel disconnection. Please dont judgr my skills hitting apexes 😆 I will say I got distracted by the flying Swift.

The race goes on and when we arrive to the last turn the swift stills parked there and theres also blue flag for the lapped car.
What a surprise to see the crashed suzuki winning the race!

The other Audi confirmed he also saw the crash in his mirror so it wasnt a lag thing on my side

I see that @Gurzu has snuck ahead of my race A QT by 0.06 seconds! Well done, I'll give you that one, not running any more qualifying laps.

I've done about 20 race As this week, only managed 3 where I haven't been spun out - 2 P3s, and a P1 to P1 at last today! Yes I know, I'm a glutton for punishment 🤣.

Been concentrating mostly on Race C, which hasn't been much cleaner. Having said that, my DR dropped today from it's very bottom of B, into C, and I had 2 of the best races of the week - good, close, very clean and respectful racing.

One race I was swapping positions with a guy nearly every lap, we managed it with zero contact and I just lost out to him by getting a 1 second penalty on the last lap!

Just the way it should be 🙂
