First one is Rettifilo. Second is della Roggia. Third one is Ascari. The double-right is Lesmo and the final one used to be Parabolica but is now Alboreto.(i don't know what the corners names are)
Top qualifier in my second race did a 1:58.7. I would like to know how much of the gap I can blame on the car.Irritating to see my Q time would have been good enough for the same position in GT1/A lobbies as GT2/B lobbies![]()
Another very frustrating night in Manufacturers'. Fastest Jag driver (Tapai) was over a sec off pace, so I kinda knew I didn't stand much of a chance with the broken BOP. I'm usually decent at Monza, but my best lap in TT was 58.3 and couldn't go any quicker. Decided to give it a go anyway, which was probably not a wise decision.
Americas Slot 1 was pretty good, other than having my best qualy lap ruined by a guy who exited the pits ahead of me and blocked me during my flying lap. When I called him out, he said he couldn't see anyone on track. Obviously, he didn't quit, went into the race without being able to see anyone, and went on to then make a mess. It seemed like I could finish between P5 and P7, until I was overtaking that guy and he turned in like I wasn't there, obviously. Since his car was immovable, it was mine who went off track... P9 at the end, decided to go again, decision I would then regret.
Americas Slot 2, shared lobby with @D_Dragline. I had a bad qualy in this slot and made a few mistakes in the race. I tried to get a tow from @D_Dragline but it only lasted one corner as I ended up getting hit by an American into the 2nd chicane and immediately lost the slipstream. P11 at the end.
Americas Slot 3, again sharing lobby with @D_Dragline. I ruined this one myself by making a last-second decision to pit, crossing the pit entry line and picking up a 3 second penalty...
Americas Slot 4, ended up P15 after being crashed at Ascari...
Americas Slot 5, in what I think was drop split. Again had my qualifying ruined. A Colombian went for a move while I was on my flying lap and he had a 1s penalty for track limits!! What a 🤬... Same guy then ruined me another lap. And I invalidated my final attempt myself in the 2nd chicane... so P16 start.
I think I did a pretty good race in this final slot. Started last, 11 secs off the lead, ended the race 22 secs behind winner Deano Heldt, despite not having a slipstream, even though there were some esport guys with quick cars at the front. I just tried to stay out of trouble, run the best pace I could and pit at the end of lap 9. Exited the pits in P10, and I managed to pull of a nice outside move into the 2nd chicane over an American who had a bad exit out of the 1st one, but defended on the inside.
P9 at the end. Not bad from P16 on the grid with a slow car. 182 points which aren't useful... but at least I managed to end the night on a somewhat enjoyable race...

Honestly, I'm not sure whether I will do the last two rounds, might not even bother. Game bugs aside, BOP is completely broken, driving standards are very poor and the penalty system was turned off again... It's a shame, but I think GT7 will end up losing all competitive appeal and they will lose the driver base they built with Sport.
Thanks mate! It was quite messy indeed. Congrats on your good result!It was good sharing the track with you. I was so bummed when I saw you had the 3 second penalty. I think we could have finished top 5 in that race working together. I was starting to get the hang of the Lancer.
I pitted at the last minute to try and get away from that peanut in the McLaren who was divebombing and then holding us up.
Slot 3 was very messy. The Asian races have been much better standard than that. Glad to see you persisted and finally got a good result in a very uncompetitive car.
I don't think anyone could make the Jag go fast, they absolutely killed the car with the BOP...I do not know how to make the Jag go fast around Monza, and Monza is one of my favorite tracks. [...] Came out in p9! Took her home and managed to get 206 points. Not great, but for me it would have to do. Called it a night.

Only your best two rounds so far count.So, to date I've done 3 of the Manufacturer's Cup races. But when I look up my points ranking, it says only 2 of my races are valid for points. Can someone explain that to me? What would cause the 3rd round race to not count for me? (of note, I didn't compete in race #4 as I was on vacation).

Ahh, thank you both. For some reason I thought my best 4 scores were going to count (but I think that I may have confused that with the Gazoo Racing series). Would make sense since the one not "counting" was my worst finish to date. Damn AMG Gr3 is an understeering piece...
The best 3 scores count at the end of 6 races. It always stays around half of the races completed so far.I think it was actually best 4 scores at the start of both the Manufacturers Cup & Nations Cup, season 1 stage 1. But looks like that has been changed now.
Interesting……..going to a crazy race I think, but great too.so for Watkins we have to use all 3 compounds? love it.
probably 1 minute for any compound not used.Interesting……..going to a crazy race I think, but great too.
Wonder how many people will pick up time penalties for just running 1 or 2 compounds? And do you get double penalty for running 1 compound only….?
