As solid as my runs have been at Yamagiwa, on the main and alt accounts this week... I just can't break through for a win!
But the best race combo I've had in a while. What I like is that it typically rewards your true pace and racecraft:
See a Senna fan ahead of you, with a one second qualifying time advantage, but who is all over the place? Stay clear of him, let him take himself out. He will.
See another guy trying to pass someone in the tricky chicane in the final sector? Let those two take themselves out, or get penalties on the track limits... they will.
Save your tires by letting a guy pass you early instead of racing through the fast chicanes in the first sector? You'll be faster on lap 6 or 7, and can pass him or overcut him on the pit stop with those better tires later.
It's been forever since I had a win in a A/S lobby (had some nice ones on the way up from SR bumps and the reset, but I don't remember the last A/S lobby win I've had in a 90-99SR room, anyway). So would have been nice... but when getting matched with three or four guys that have a full second on me in the qualifying time, with a fastest lap that is only 5th best or so, and still grabbing podiums most races... been fun. And a new all-time DR high, in time to collect a few FIA points in the final rounds, hopefully.
Cheers, all.
