Another great week with intense competition! Looking at the qualifying times and fast laps we can see how close these cars are matched! The question boils down to though,

Who will dethrone the Chevy's?

See you guys THURSDAY at Suzuka!
 
Great job on the pictures DJ. I can clear up the mystery on why JT and I ended up in the sand... I tried to pass at the end on the back straight. I knew it wouldn't work but I was still convinced I could pull it off.

Thanks Envy! Glad you liked the pics.

I don't remember seeing any contact between you two when you guys ran off course though, that's why I was confused. I thought that spot would be a great passing point but I don't remember seeing any passes there at all.

We tried it several times in practice sprints. Every time no matter who was driving what, it never worked. It was due to the wacky draft on that track. Thanks PD.
 
RR and i went through there nearly side by side. I was on the inside attempting the pass. Just couldn't make it work without forcing him off track.
 
Well it's time to get depressed....practicing at Suzuka......

EDIT: After running for an hour I can honestly say the BMW is a good car for Suzuka. I have the car performing very well. Unfortunately, I don't perform as well as the car. I won't be a factor for this race unless I learn how to drive around this course.

I pulled a few passes there no sweat.

There was no contact because I knew how hot Envy was going. Contact was going to happen unless I steered off course. That was a better option than getting punted further out than I did and to keep myself from spinning around.

Yup, anyone with an opinion will agree I pulled a dumb **** maneuver. Lesson learned. I have a new attitude and driving style. See ya Thursday.

Adjust your rear ride height up one click at a time until the car becomes more stable. That might help.

Is this track better. Suited for a hard or soft suspension?

No worries DJ. I have stress in my real life, racing is just for fun. I admitted multiple times that I made a mistake, I'm ready to move on.

I'm running more of a medium to stiff. Pretty much the same as last week with a few tweeks
 
Looks like I missed a fairly good race.
Oh well had a fantastic time a the lake drinking and drinking and stuff with fire...etc...
 
Well after a full day of practice, the best I can manage is 2:9s - 10s
 
I'd like to run some sprints to get a feel for the draft. I'll be on tonight at around 9PM if anyone feels like running.
 
So Kaz came out and said this

“The next step is exactly what you are experiencing here at GT Academy. Racing is a human drama and I would like to achieve that in the next game.”

Could this be a possible online career mode? I sure hope so...
