@bone_tone My lucky charm at work again today šŸ˜ thanks!, had a few better race As this arvo, grabbed a win where it came down to one moment, approaching last lap and pole guy scraped the wall enough so I could get a run down the hill turn 2, good sport too let me pass and was pretty close at the end.

Race B, pff now thatā€™s rough so Iā€™ll be avoiding it as I havenā€™t a week racing it, brutal at AS racing for the wooden spoon

Glad to be of assistance! šŸ˜‚

That was my best result today, just saved me from dropping down to DR C šŸ˜
 
I think Iā€™m actually gonna step back for a bit, the racing is so dependant on lobby maturity, the racing is getting so repeatable now and seeing a person destroy a streamer (contorversial as he is) with videos and choice edits, really makes me question this all. Itā€™s not how I roll.
 
I know this is a ā€œraceā€ thread but sometimes itā€™s nice to do a combo as a TT. I tend to like TTs as Iā€™m not beholden to race start times.

I managed to improve to get back on top of my friends LB. Got into top 150 but Iā€™m 2 seconds behind Sirvia. How? Boggles the mindā€¦

Edit. Did some Saturday night racing. It was some great racing. Super clean with peeps that actually could drive - better than me! :D

I love it when itā€™s this close.

Hats off, thatā€™s a really great time! All good to share a race QT in my book, I might just take a dive later see if I can improve šŸ˜
 
Offff just got my first taste of split B/A/A+ lobbies. Tha was a humbling start line from the rest of the week šŸ˜‚šŸ™ƒ

I know what you mean man, they are sobering lobbies huh?

I decided to use my alt account for racing at DT as I have the same QT as my main and itā€™s sitting at low BS, so a lot more fun šŸ˜

Great time by the way!

Usually when you have split lobbies like this, youā€™ll only need to finish around 10th to pick up points. 8th is not a bad start position in such a lobby. What sucks is when youā€™re given a 14th or worse. Then thereā€™s no chanceā€¦

Yeah they definitely realign the ego donā€™t they after having it easy in B. Should be happy tho as it was only a few weeks ago that I was struggling to stay in B. Has been fun competing mid pack snd so far itā€™s been pretty clean.

Not sure where Iā€™m going to get the extra second to compete at A tho, unless they shorten the track just for me!

Havent got round to setting up the alt account yet but think I deffo should

I donā€™t normally use mine tbh but next week I want to keep my main at AS and hope racing at the Glen lets me move further into A, I usually do well there with that combo

I guess the alt account will end up mirroring your main anyway, ie. Youā€™ll get that up to high B too šŸ˜

Iā€™m not sure if I will but think it would potentially be good to have one in the lower lobbies as this week I didnā€™t have the time to put into learning Laguna so didnā€™t race it all as would have been pointless just starting 16 and falling off the pace but if I had been in C/D I could have had some fun.

Looking forward to see your progress at Watkins next week šŸ’Ŗ

QQ guys - how do you adjust from RM to RH?

Weā€™ve got a UAE specific TT at yas this week but itā€™s RH, exact same car as the daily a few weeks ago where I hit 1.55.2xx on RM but this week in RH I canā€™t break 1.57.5xx

I know theyā€™re slower but surely 2.3 seconds is excessive?

That probably about right to be fair especially at Yas which has a lot of mid and high speed corners itā€™s basically a couple of tenths per braking zone/corner
 
Again had some good races at Tokyo this morning, itā€™s certainly fun in small doses and joined by a good group makes it better, not going to improve my time thatā€™s for sure. Ready for the week at the Glen ahead and hopefully at DR A wonā€™t mean I scrapping at the back, but if it does, it is what it is.

If I donā€™t get twatted or rear ended Iā€™m pretty good at running very close to my qually pace the problem usually is people canā€™t be consistent so they think my markers are their markers but I like to ride the brakes or coast more.

But honestly, and this is me being honest is they think about the place not the exits and that slows them down because they would rather be .3 closer or side by side yet fluff the next sequence. Itā€™s reactive driving vs my way of thinking of whatā€™s the best exit.

That race quoted though the p1 and p2 took each other out accidentally I just days of thunder through the carnage

That word ā€˜twattedā€™ is so so English šŸ“󠁧󠁢󠁄󠁮󠁧ó æ I love it šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
 
Itā€™s 177th but for me there isnā€™t a lot more in the lap, itā€™s so marginal now and so dependant on grinding laps to find the 1/10th

But Iā€™m gonna call it now for today, I had a really awful Saturday but recovered today so happy and not going to push it.

Congrats on your win mate, I was in there on my alt account, LJB, that purple car ever so slightly just didnā€™t let me pass, previous race, so disappointing when I raced him completely fairly today, the tool.

Needed to take a breather before I smashed him off šŸ˜

I came to conclusion that he's playing a different game.

When you give it back as good as it's given, that's when you start to learn the rules.

The problem is, for me, is that the cars behind watching think you're both dirty animals and start to behave in kind and the whole thing descends into chaos.

Against those sort of odds isn't really my style. Kind of a hollow victory that way. I might have a handful left in the tank, but that's probably it this week.

Thatā€™s so true, itā€™s lobby poison and that sets the tone and the tone manifests.

Thatā€™s why some of these sweaty lobbies we all have fall in to lord of the flies behaviour becomes less relevant when the front runners are whacking each other, it filters back. A lot of it is emotional intelligence or the lack of it, some of it is social compliance.
ā€œDo what they do they are fasterā€

Model the behaviour you want not the person trying to model theirs.

Youā€™re totally right mate, I had to call him out the next race, he did it against another guy and Iā€™m like why? Just race! Check this video out I kinda let it play out but Iā€™m most annoyed by trying to befriend these guys in the hope of clean racing,

This will make you smile

Edit. Honourable shout out to my lucky charm @bone_tone always helps šŸ˜

A pleasure, as always! šŸ˜„
 
Have to say these guys have been my boys this weekend, legends, clean racers, bumpers, had a few wins this week and had some fun along the way, plus my GTP friends who know who they are,

Pumped for the Glen next week, need to get into DR A in a solid way šŸ‘Š

Letā€™s go again next week ppl

Whilst we all agree that heā€™s doing his ā€˜thingā€™ we need to IMHO keep sharing his type so we are more aware of idiots when we race. I love this game and will persevere come what may and whilst I also can be aggressive when needed I also feel elevated when I win šŸ„‡ (or top 8) when I race cleanly. šŸ¤”

Totally with you here bro, but letā€™s not give them any airtime, be good to share the good guys so we can share them when we see them šŸ˜

What happened? I didn't see this.

@brockie Gr4 but only 4 laps at Watkins Glen this week - going to be some absolute lunatics out there on such a short race!
