Gonna be honest, don't recall running Gr.4 at Spa previously (me personally, that is) and I gotta say, it feels like a size ten shoe for a size 8 foot, but we'll see. St. Croix gonna be a party, tho. One of my favorite tracks. 👍

Race A will be a blast once everyone leaves the house and I can crank the stereo to listen to the LFA scream.😁

Haha, you’re not wrong there, had a race at lunch and the back straight takes a absolute age, then everyone dives into the corner,

Mediums before on gr3 but not gr4, and is quite long at 5 laps of 2.31!

I’ll try race A tonight but I might be leaving Spa, can’t see its any fun

First thing that came to mind was running the Nord' in the Kart...definitely time for a nap here and there. All that straight and not a drop of nitrous on board.🤣
 
Did 2 races on St. Croix after 30 minutes of time trialing to get to (re)know the track a little.

First race: Started P3, finished P4. Someone that started behind me was clearly a bit quicker and finished P3. It was a clean race because I didn't have the P1 / P2 pace, and the rest didn't have my pace. But happy with P4!

Second race: Started P6 and got into the 'elbows out heavy battling midfield' portion of cars. Someone punted me into another car. The car that I hit decided to make my life miserable (and called me dirty afterwards). I got a 4 seconds penalty for it. Later on I was about to make an overtake when yellow flags appeared. The other guy quickly braked fully so I couldn't help but overtake him under yellows: another 3 sec penalty. Finished P10. Oh well, you win some you lose some. And it's only Monday so it's rough going for everyone.

Still need to find out how to take turn 3. Everyone accelerates away from me there. If I get on the power so quickly I just spin. And I still need to learn the long sweeping right hander at the start of sector 3. Such an important corner, but hard to nail the correct line / lift off / accelerate again sequence.

Question for you guys: How quick is the Peugeot RCZ considered with the BOP as it is now? I 'never' see it in the quickest times, but I find it very stable and nice to drive. Does it lack top end speed compared to the M6's and Vipers you see more often these days?
 
Race A seems like it will be hectic, followed @newmedia_dev ghost and managed to squeeze into the 1.11s but wow that’s an arm workout right there!

Started pole in my BA lobby, first corner they all piled in like amateurs 😂 dropped to last! Managed to pull it back to second - nuts!

Not sure where I’ll be all week to be honest, probably A

I just did my first A was pole, last, 7th and finished 9th, a little more warm up is probably be able to hold a top 3 but it’s like the abarth race at Suzuka but more hectic and the cars have way more mass. And are really tricky to drive.

I don’t think B is for me as I’m not a particular fan of spa (great to watch for me, not something I enjoy driving) and C yet to even turn a wheel there and possibly won’t this week as I remember it was a real struggle in GR1 bug to do the circuit experience. We will see I’ve gotten a bit smoother since then.
 
I like Race B. I am a believer in the adage that it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

I grabbed another win at break time
