I think other than some hot laps at Tsukuba I can safely take next week off. Not that I think they are terrible combos, they just definitely aren't my thing.

From last night time, not exactly what I had in mind but could've been worse

This dude does this all the time. He tricked me so many times in Tsukuba (Subaru WRX N300), Nur GP (Porsche N400), Sardegna A (Porsche N400), and many others.
He's the exact type of player that screws the penalty system up. He's a versatile gamer who likes unfair play within the rules.
He did things like that in the Battlefield series as well, abusing the heavy bomber in BF1, camping spawns in BF4, etc...
Bottom line is that he's not very skilled and loses it quickly when things don't go his way.
My Q times are usually better than his and I used to fear every race where I was 1 spot ahead of him.
Now that I'm a bit more familiar with the game, he usually quits when he sees me in the lobby; I just had to retaliate hard on him a couple of times and taunt the **** outta his ass in the post-race lobby for this to happen.
Good luck to you!

A) Tsukuba AGAIN?!? No thank you, again.
B) Catalunya AGAIN?!? As much as I like Gr. 3, having it as an option on back to back weeks with drivers who have bad attitudes, no thanks.
C) Fuji AGAIN?!? Well, I've been enjoying Gr. 2 more & more lately. But what's with the awful x13 tire wear? For Pete's sake.

Oh my I raced you before and just want to say you're very good like I enjoyed those sessions where you're in. I sometimes use it as a opportunity to learn from you as well. Sorry if there were moments I've gone aggressive on you and its not intentional.
Also glad to know that. Least with the "ninja" penalty system update I think this is where he might want to consider toning down with the shadiness and makes me more motivated to be at least quicker than him when it comes to qualifying times.
Best of luck you too!

My races went from bad to better yesterday evening.
Was P4 or P5 when some crazy french guy punted me on the last corner so hard I hit the barriers and got a 1.5s penalty for hitting them. I mean, they are not even that close to the track.
After that race, however, I ended up in a lobby with clean and considerate drivers, at least at the front. Reached the podium twice (both P3) and had a couple of good fights. this time I raced much better than usually, with some successful outbraking moves and switch-backs (mostly defensive, but still).
A spoon of tar was my failed attempt to overtake at Remus on the inside line, I went too deep, the guy on the outside crashed into me, span and touched a couple of other drivers, too.
Apart from that, a good session. If I figure out the best way to go through Rauch und Wurth I'd be even more confident, right now I'm loosing a lot of time there and everyone is catching up with me pretty quickly. Right now my Q is 01:29.045.

Yeah week off next week or spend time learning the wheel. Sector 3 catalunya final sector is an abortion.

Nice win, but I gotta stick my nose in here and say...using TCS on that car kills all the fun! Even if you can't race with TCS off, you have to try it out. When I have some time I plan on putting in some laps so I can race there. I love that car, and these races. Powerslides all day! (that's drifting for you young folks

I’d be curious for someone else, maybe on controller to try ABS off on the fugu Z.
To me it almost behaves like the kart and wasn’t locking up when I tried it the other day...

I might give that a go. Not locking up on 100% braking, or do you need to modulate it?

I know it shows up a lot but I always enjoy the racing at Gr.2 Fuji, though it's a shame they're using the tyre multipliers from when the pit stops were shorter

I look forward to trying it but when it was Gr4 last time at Fuji, I despised it. I felt like I was fighting against the track the whole time. I hope it's better with Gr2.

I usually turn TCS off a few seconds after the start. The Z was a bit too squirrely with it off, and I actually did a better Q time when set to 1.Nice win, but I gotta stick my nose in here and say...using TCS on that car kills all the fun!

When my boss took me for a test drive in his newly modified Z he lost it and went sideways almost into the curb, just like in the game.

It's clearly garbage final sector week, Fuji's is pretty terrible too.

Hopefully I've learned a few things over the course of the last few weeks of Gr. 2 races. The tire multiplier will be a killer. I need to learn how to drive these cars with more rear brake bias to save the tires. Best case scenario is a 2 stop race. Some people might be able to save tires, but I likely won't. Might try a 5H/4M/4M strategy.
