Gotta say, this is a thoroughly garbage experience! Gonna settle in and watch a few videos you guys made of race A.
Race A is like visiting hell & coming back out in tears. I'm happy CGV has come but this isn't an apt race to welcome the track.
Depends, are you getting answers from the people who are convinced clean oil/new motor does nothing or are you getting answers from the people who are convinced that changing oil/changing motor has noticeable impact?

Personally I'm convinced it does and nobody can argue me out of that position. I'm sure someone else will come along shortly who says completely the opposite of me
I believe it does for two objective reasons with a bonus 3rd.Depends, are you getting answers from the people who are convinced clean oil/new motor does nothing or are you getting answers from the people who are convinced that changing oil/changing motor has noticeable impact?

Apart from the both of the Ferrari cars, I prefer F-Type. You'll be surprised how much fun this car is, not to mention speedy on the straights with good acceleration. Calster 25 summed this car well saying it's an underrated car.

and ended up last.
Keep at it dude you will master soon, the best way I mastered it before Calsters video posted in this thread is use the Circuit exprience to master that last corner, at Fuji. I was the same like you for a long time on Fuji, fudging up that corner, but the way I mastered is with the Slow-in > Fast out principle. Use the controller trigeer wiht gradual brake control and always adjust the balance of brakes. I managed this when we had a NSX GT2 TT at Fuji a while back, and noticed I got faster every time I exited that corner and applied it to other cars liek GT3 gorup cars.I have a hard time with consistency in the racing line and the amount of braking in Fuji's last turn. It's so hard to brake consistently on a controller when you don't need 100 % braking.
I am braking 50-ish % from the moment the red barrier on the right leaves my screen, and I am taking quite a wide line (maybe a car's width from the kerbs). In some cases I go way too wide because my speed is still too high, in other cases I end up way too narrow so I'm having a very poor exit. Maybe once a race I nail the corner by pure chance. Taking a corner from the outside extremes of the track is clear to me, but that's not the quickest way in this particular corner. So my place on track during corner entry also varies a bit every time.
I have been looking at top time replays and some telemetry, but it's not so easy for me to copy it every corner. Maybe it's just a matter of keeping at it, until I am braking and cornering at the same speed and place every time.
On Tuesday I did 4 races: a P7, P8 and P9 finish despite several spins or punts in all of these races. One race I switched from hard tires to hard tires
Looking at the cold numbers for high speed bop the NSX, RCZ and WRX are now serious choices (The RCZ already was) but the surprise (for me at least) is that they give even more power to the F-type wich was a rocket in straight line.
That is in the high-speed BoP. In the mid-speed one, the F-type is getting an increase in power and weight, which appear to be mostly cancelling each other out. Isn't Fuji classified as a mid-speed track? Maybe that car won't be affected much this week.
My bad. I assumed Fuji was classified as a high speed track but you are right, is a mid one so the F-type shouldnt stand out here.
Yep - filtering the leaderboards down to the last 6 hours, 5 of the top 7 times at Fuji are in the R8.
Softs are useful only if you're in 1st row and you wanna try to gain a significant margin before pitting, whilst others are fighting behind you. Still, your tyres saving ability is vital in this case. It's recommended btw to always start race C on the harder compound, regardless. At race start the car is heavy, so keeping the softer for 2nd stint can maximise their usage.
You can´t use the pace of the softs because of traffic but also the tyre wear is much worse with full tank.
