Well, I hope that the teams don't change too much, and I hope that the starting drivers for the teams in TCN-1 remain the same. That start was incredibly tight in TCN-1 once we got underway, and I had a lot of fun battling for positions and seeing the other guys jostling as I approached the pack I was chasing.
I found that having the player's nametag overhead was nice, but a little distracting as I was not able to see certain brake references I relied on. I usually remove them before I start racing (there's a trick to it in-lobby), but if there's a way to deselect this outside of a lobby I'd gladly appreciate if someone told me!
There was a blip on my part about 15 mins before the first hour, car became unsettled on Griffin's Bend, tried to power out but it clapped the wall. I thought I might get away without damage, but no such luck and I fell back and had to pit. Still, that pit stop has actually given me some inspiration on something. Plus, the racing gave me some valuable data I was having trouble trying to retrieve what with the servers playing up an' all.
Teehee, so much intel to harness in such a short amount of time...
@KTZ, I had fun tussling for position with you for a number of laps. I have to ask though, did you feel a little frustrated with some of the moves I pulled? I know that move up the inside of turn two was pretty bold, and laps later at The Chase I essentially chopped your nose off once I slipped past before the kink.
@TeamEdge702, how did your Audi and my Toyota not wreck a turn before the Esses? I had no idea you were behind me until I heard that Audi rumble, and I went totally instinctive and kept to the outside as I didn't have enough time to have a look where the sound was coming from.
With regard's to
@AJ's call and the postponement.... It was a good call, it was definitely a more severe problem than we face at Daytona a month ago, and I think AJ wanted to save a repeat of it, especially if NISMO eyes were watching.
Hopefully, this means that teams can muster up a potentially stronger line-up, or at least work harder to bridge any gaps with their current drivers.
