That last slot was a good race. I had to reset my steering wheel halfway through as I spent 2 laps unable to reach full throttle. I think p2 would have been possible for me otherwise. The Lancer was surprisingly good at Daytona.My first race at Daytona with the Jag. I arrived home late, so could only jump before the third slot, which I used as practice. F-type was quick here, in all races I did I was usually purple in all sectors until the bus stop. But I never managed to find the proper way around that bus stop at all, car (or maybe I) was very inconsistent there...
Americas Slot 3, wasn't really ready for a race, and hadn't done any laps other than TT with softs, so I ended up going off on my own. Used it as race practice. Managed to pass a couple of guys who also made mistakes up to P12. As I wasn't close to anyone ahead and I had enough gap behind (or thought I had, I just got it right by a few tenths) I pitted for softs at the end of lap 16 and took a cheeky fastest lap in the final one. My first fastest lap in GT7 GTWS.Finished P12.
Americas Slot 4, this one was completely ruined by who I think is the new GT7 alt account of the most famous dirty American/Portuguese driver. He punted me from behind to pass, then when I was re-overtaking in the straight, he turned right in the middle of the oval to stamp me against the wall. And after he went off himself, I re-passed and he punted me again a few corners later. Everyone was complaining about him in the post-race chat... impossible to race when that guy is around.P8 finish, points weren't enough to count, so had to go again in the final slot...
Americas Slot 5, only proper race I had today, 269-point lobby I shared with @D_Dragline. Didn't manage to put together a good lap in qualy, but it was still enough for P5 on the grid, if I would have put best sectors of the session together in one lap, would have started 3rd.
Good start, but went wide on cold hards in the last right-hander of the infield, just touched the grass on the exit and had a big snap of oversteer. Mexican behind could not avoid me and lost a position due to my mistake (I apologized after the race). That mistake lost me the slipstream to the guys ahead. I was under pressure for many laps by a Brazilian in a WRX, who I later found out was on mediums. I was quicker for most of the lap, but he was much quicker in the bus stop due to the car and tyre difference.
On lap 7, he hit me in the entry to the bus stop, pushed me a bit wide. I think he slowed down not to overtake me, so I didn't immediately lose positions, but it was impossible for me to avoid a 0.5s penalty, which dropped me to P7, behind the Brazilian and a Colombian. That was a costly incident, as it put me in a battle I shouldn't have been in. Lost another two positions as I had to go wide into T1 to avoid a collision and I struggled on dirty tyres. So down to P9, it seemed like it was all going downhill. To make things worse, I planned to pit on lap 11, but had to go a lap earlier to minimize the time loss because I picked up another 0.5s penalty (this time, on my own) in the bus stop.
Exited the pits on P11. Gained a few places from people that hadn't yet pitted, from an incident ahead and the Brazilian, who spun on his own. Up to P6. Closed in on the Colombian ahead, but didn't have enough tyres at the end to challenge him.
P6 at the end. Without being hit in the bus stop and the couple of minor errors from my side, I think I would have been in the battle for 3rd that @D_Dragline had a few secs up the road (congrats for that P4!). Incident cost me 5th at the very least. 213 points scored, which aren't great for a combo where the Jag was quite competitive, but considering I just had one proper race and everything that happened in it, it could have been worse, I guess. Also, it means I now have scores over 200 on all 3 counting rounds.

Thats true, and while i was glad he got the penalty, it really threw me off with my pace & things on that lap and i fell back to 8th, that respawn pd did after i was trying to get back on track messed me up as well on focusing
I experienced the same thing in the jag, a lot of purple to the bus stop, then would drop like 3 tenths.My first race at Daytona with the Jag. I arrived home late, so could only jump before the third slot, which I used as practice. F-type was quick here, in all races I did I was usually purple in all sectors until the bus stop. But I never managed to find the proper way around that bus stop at all, car (or maybe I) was very inconsistent there...

That's a long race. Also the Australian way of writing time is apparently even odder than the American way of writing dates...

You were in my race tonight. The 7pm slot. That race was a lot cleaner than I thought it was going to be.
You get the title of King Pleb to use as your new gamertagSo do we get anything for competing below GT1? I was kinda hoping for some credits for my efforts. I finished 1st in Aus in super pleb GT3 league lol, seem to get nothing for it though, I guess it is only pleb league. I expect to get spanked next season when in GT2 or GT1 so just savouring this minor victory
I once managed to do a jigsaw puzzle that said 2-4 years in only 18 months.
At this stage, nobody knows.
