A little late because I wanted to post this after some of the Grandstand III challenge posts were finished. It was a fun night in D3. The GSX-R combo led to some very large first to last gaps. I personally felt like it was very fun and engaging to drive, but seemingly small mistakes turned catastrophic very quickly, leading to most people not really battling anyone except themselves. Still, it was good fun and I kind of wished that the combo stayed. The 365 GTB combo was awesome! Lots of close racing and intense battles were experienced, and the low grip and sometimes oversteering, sometimes understeering chassis made it very engaging to drive. For one of the races, I spent the whole race behind @
Dragonwhisky and @
turnupdaheat, trying to keep up with them (almost passed them once... almost...). They took so many corners wheel to wheel, it was crazy. Entering in the data, I found myself watching the entire race just to experience their tight racing and incredible racecraft again. BRZ combo was, well, the same thing it's been for the last year (at least it feels that way). Qualify nicely and don't crash, and trust that the unbelievable amount of grip is still there, and you'll be fine. I did have fun doing a lot of defensive driving, managing to keep the significantly faster @
JLBowler behind me for an entire race (again - I've done it to him with this combo at least two other times). Defensive but clean driving is key if you are like me and don't turn the quickest laps. I think that @
JLBowler would agree that, although it was frustrating for him to not get a good passing chance, it was a good clean battle that kept us both on our toes. That being said, I'm very glad the BRZ is finally gone!
Going into the final round, we had a 3 way tie for 1st, but in the end we clearly had our winner. Congrats to @
Rednose58 for the (official? unofficial?) win. Another thing to note is that @
Dragonwhisky finished in 4th place without getting on the podium once, finishing in front of a combined 8 medals including 3 1st place finishers. Consistency is huge!
@
Wolfsatz I miss your photo recaps!
