Mate I’m still recovering and been in the office back to back with 2 full days of meetings while sweating god knows what was in those shots out of me.
It's a quick car, not as stable as the Atenza though imho.
Nice work mate!!! How did your hot laps go? Did you get into the 7's? 8 mins is such a long lap, I'm not sure I'm emotionally stable enough to do a great quali and then make a mistake near the end and not lose my mind
Thanks for this Dex, I tried is last night and was much much smoother and more consistent and actually got the car stopped quicker with just a slightly smoother application of the brake made the world of difference and picked me up 4 or 5 wins out of the 8 races I did!!!!
How's the enjoyment and immersion? Now you're just as quick are you finding it way more fun with the wheel?Exactly 3 1/2 weeks ago my lovely lady got me a Logitech wheel on my birthday, and after a lot of hours filled with confusion and desperation I have managed to get back at my initial pace and even beyond that.
I've clocked in a 1:48,202 with an optional 1:47,9xx on Daily Race B with the G70.
That just feels so satisfying...
Edit: The hardest part is braking, steering inputs and the kerbs... Oh boi how I underestimated these on the Gamepad before, but I'm pretty optimistic that I'll get this too soon with enough practise.
Just got to bite the bullet and hold on for dear life and hope the times it comes off is when you have put the rest of the lap together first!!!!
Congrats on the win mate. I personally don't think it's worth it in the race, the 1 or 2 tenths you lose by lifting slightly can easily be negated by nailing other corners and obvs a wall hit or crash is a nightmare, I've also found that if someone behind takes it flat out they usually get over excited closing in on me for the final corner and overshoot allowing me to get a better exit and extend the gap.
I think they're guilty of what I'm guilty of mate! hot lapping where everything goes right and the COD flat comes off, I'm hitting late 48's/early 49's race pace and my quali is mid 47.

Congrats mate, lovely bit of racing that at the end. I've had some mares with some idiots but have had more good, hard, fair racing as well with 3 or 4 different people last night with the lead chopping and changing which was great fun. When it's like that it keeps you coming back for more doesn't it!!!!

Nice to be back in A though.
all my good weeks have been Gr4, Think Gr3 are a bit too much for me, but need to learn that!!!!!
Nice to be back in A though.
Seems like you're too quick for B and just off in A? it will come though won't it, I had that a few weeks ago with C/B and bounced 2 or 3 times and now I'm at the front of B, I think with a few more good results this week I'll be knocking on the door of A so would be good to land in a few lobbies with you!!
I think I'm realising I might be a Gr4 specialist
Going to shoot home at lunch and try and nick a few podiums hopefully
Exactly my thoughts. Some drivers have no patience, see a half chance of a pass and can't resist risking it. Soooo predictable. I brake early and often retake the position on the inside. Happened to me twice in a race last night on the same player. So satisfying 👿
This is really sound advice and something I had not thought of before apart from when racing thinking 🤔 why is the car not slowing down as quick this lap versus the last lap. I’m in VR so don’t see the red bar but can feel the difference on the T-GT2 so thanks for this gem for braking.
Stringerbell, you are seriously smashing this game and fair play to you. To be so quick in such a short space is a credit to you.
Good luck mate - make sure you update us all when you break into the 47's will be great to see!!!!!! Dex's braking tip has made my laps far more consistent.
Thank you mate, it's become a bit of an obsession (as I think it is with all of us) but loving every minute of it, so glad I picked the game up on a whim as it's replaced the competition I've been missing since stopping sports. Literally downloaded it on the PS Portal as thought it would be something I could play for 20 mins at a time on the sofa whilst I chilled out
So sorry for the tap into the final turn iirc.
Really enjoyed it mate, I'm glad you felt the same, to be honest I'd rather finish 3rd and have a clean race then push past someone for 1st.
Oh wow. I also think you've become very fast in a very short time. The amount of racing explains it partly (but you're still talented I think). I maybe have 600 races done in total now in a span of 2 years.
