So…. Get ready for a Glen diatribe.

Dragon trail seaside is almost perfect for GR4 it’s fractionally to long but workable.

What I really want to talk about is decision making. Mostly the lack of it.

Here is an A+ driver trying to make a move that isn’t on and defended twice, the second time I show why this is a really bad move.

He cuts back across twice because he is focused on fast….not what’s happening and who’s around him.

The first time notice the inside space I left.



Then the second time, this isn’t a move in an A/A+ lobby because the competency level is much higher and I’m way happy defending slow corners

But people do people for “reasons” which I assume is how they race prying the door open but it’s not good decision making or racing.




The thing here is, what do you gain overtaking here? The best place is the last corner with the cutback line everywhere else is forcing it. Where is the race thinking :/

Edit: to be clear the dance only works if he’d taken the cut back late line, not dive in to the racing line while I’m actually there.

They’re all doing passing in corners where it isn’t on, as if you need to just pass each corner, whether its on or not, and to helll with the consequences, a good week turned bad in an afternoon races 🤷‍♂️

Having a lot of fun with @newmedia_dev on B races....most players on the lobby already knew as clean drivers...

Very good week !

It’s been a great week, the only thing I would say is people aren’t learning how to race.

A+ guys rocking up off the pace and forcing it isn’t a great reflection on them. Other wise the racing has been really good I had a bit of rage yesterday, with people wanting places so we lose the front 3 but they will learn eventually. Overall a great race and @NevilleNobody took the death chicane flat, a good week all round.

I just need to do a couple of laps in the morning and beat @TechnoIsLove and all is good
 
This was a wild one from last night! From P14 to the front with a massive crash, a bit of rallycrossing and a lot of help from some friends at the end. I'm surprised these lobbies have had so many Viper's in them, the Z4 is lovely, it loses a little time on the straights but through the corners it handles really well, if better players than me gave it a go they could be winning races on merit.

 
Morning, hope you had a nice sleep @TechnoIsLove 😀

Did a few laps….

Legendary as always 😁

Good watch, spectacular ending
 
So, had a better Sunday racing day, had to resort to the alt account, which was at BS and the racing was good, I have to say when I hear I can’t take the CoD without crashing, I get it now, in traffic that’s really hard to navigate, in QT or at the front in DR C it’s of course easy 😆

And I managed to beat my time on my alt account, twice! Figures! Been trying all week 😂

Anyways, really good racing on the whole this week, looking forward to next week and hope it’s not a week to miss since the kids have been at home this last two weeks and I’ve mostly missed one on my lunch,

Hope you’ve all had a good week and here’s to next 🍻

I haven't been able to improve my QT at Dragon Trail all week - I'm stuck 3 seconds behind the best times on my friends list, and that's in the G70.

My Atenza time is 1 second slower than the G70, I'm mystified as to how people are getting such fast times in it!

It doesn't seem to be quite so fast in race though, the Citroen looks to have been fastest in the rooms I have been in, although two races today were won by people in Alfa 155s.

I for 1 think we need a ‘Clown of the Circuit’ feed. Below is a clear example of what I mean


This completely ruined my race and it’s another example of poor driving 🙄
