Wow, I'm surprised at how many people didn't show up for D3. I would be upset at such a tiny grid. The only way to get better at pack racing is to actually be in a pack. Next time that happens, maybe we can send some drivers from D2 or have D3 drive with D2.
Like spooble, I don't have much free time during the week to break in the cars or practice the combos. Not breaking in is really noticeable on tracks with long straights or turns you can go full throttle through. That's fine though, because it forces me to be better everywhere else. I learn how to exit corners with more speed, maintain consistency, and be patient for when someone's mistake allows me to make a clean pass.
I really enjoy this group and feel that it is run as fair as possible. Glenn mentioned that there are a lot of rules that might deter new drivers. When I joined, the first thing I did was look for the rules. No one wants to make a bad first impression. So what if reading the OP took a few minutes? Doing that probably saved me a whole lot of confusion on my first Sunday.
It was mentioned that we are all getting better and striving to move up Divisions. GTP has it's own 5 Division system broken down further into Gold, Silver, and Bronze subdivisions. We only have 3 Divisions. Now I know we don't have nearly as many drivers. What I like about it is how it levels the competition in a linear fashion. Right now, our Stewards get together and do their best to level out the competition while trying to keep an even distribution of members through the divisions. That leads to drivers being relegated to a lower division and being top dog the whole night. Even though I know they are a better racer, "Why is this crazy fast guy in my division?" still crosses my mind. Unless someone can step up and be faster than the relegated driver, the fast driver is almost assured to be promoted.
I'm not sure how fun it is being much faster than your competition*cough*A-spec*cough*. Sure, everyone likes winning, but I feel much better after a competitive race than a blow-out.
. I found out just before the second race and adjusted the limiter back to 100%. Not sure it helped much seeing as it completely changed the car.
you must have been flat out the whole race!
. Nice lap tho 👍
what the hell.. that's a spacecraft, not a car!
