I did a few practice laps yesterday and I was fastest in the Toyota 86, by a lot. I didn't try any FF's because I think the tyre wear will be a problem for them.
The Ferrari felt pretty good too 👍

Most likely the Megane Trophy '11(Slophy) and Alfa Romeo 4C, will be top picks. Cayman should be good. I've seen McLarens do well in tyre wear races. NSX as well.

The Mustang, the WRX, the Trophy. Those are my best suggestions against the FF Brigade.
Jag, Aston might also work

I'll keep that in mind the next time it pops up. Anything to help me with that last sector.

For the fourteenth consecutive day, I had scored another daily race win. I had won at Daily Race B for the third straight day, this time in an Audi TT Cup. With that car, I realized it was more effective in this race, which is common amongst front-wheel drive cars.

I think after seeing a few race reports lately I need to adjust the ratings on my alt to help readjust the racecraft of another driver. This is just getting stupid.
This ain't the place to be bragging about punting people off to steal their wins for no reason other than you want to win. That's the worst example you can try to set for others.

I have never seriously considered an alt account in another territory until now. But I am considering it. Seriously.

@JoeDaSnow with the double take out for the win. You must be proud.

On a different note, did a Race C as that's less carnage. Started 4th in the LM55. Was overtaken by a patient LMP after T1.
From there, a Peugeot VGT is based ruling the LMP behind me. We head up the hill to the left-hand hairpin before the PZ. Right at the apex, there was lag and the Peugeot bumps me off. I drop down to 12th.
Kept my lid on and stayed smooth all race. Switch to RS and closing in on the Peugeot battling another LMP. Peugeot spins off and quits.
Catching the LMP that was behind that Peugeot when I got punted off. That car too, spears perpendicular into a barrier. I pass it. It quits.
Catching another LMP, I pass it after the PZ. Finish P6 with my main account.
Think I'll do Brands Hatch with the alt.

Anything's effective if you're just punting people out of the way.
This is at least the third time you've chucked up videos of you punting other people as if it's something to be proud of, and so far you've ignored everyone pointing this out to you. That includes me, and that's not the best idea.

For the sake of my own mental health I’ve uninstalled. What’s the point trying to race clean if others don’t. I got me annoyed to the point where I was trying to retaliate and the game sure as hell doesn’t need someone else being a jerk. It was briefly fun but I quickly realised i am just torturing myself. Thanks for the few words of encouragement that followed me in my brief stint with the game.

Bit of a mixed bag today so far. Put my big boy pants on and lower TCS to 1, and suddenly my quali time dropped from from a 46.1 to a 45.6 in the RCZ.
On a race front, lots of bumping and grinding, bit of bouncing too with some middling results.
And then the last race of the morning I pulled a win out of somewhere.
If I can get round corner 1 in one piece then I can have a little fun

I'd like to add that dealing with obstacles from undesirable other drivers and their BS tactics is also a learning opportunity in itself.

Guy's obviously just a wind-up merchant - never posts anything other than great examples of how not to do it!Anything's effective if you're just punting people out of the way.

Did many Race C with the Toyota this week. Decent QT of 1.29.9 with the Toyota got me starting in top 5 most of the time. I manage 4 wins throughout the week.
Then I decide to try to better my QT with the Audi and got a satisfying 1.29.3. Almost good enough for a top 100 in my region. Now to the race with the Toyota.
POLE! Start is good, manage to keep another Toyota behind me in this crucial few corners on cold tires. Manage to slowly build a gap of 2sec. during first stint. Switch tires at the same time, everything going well still 2 sec during the last part of the race until.... lap 11. I put one wheel on the grass somewhere in sector 3, car go half spin and that was enough to lose first place. Shame, it was only me who could lose that victory from pole position and I did!
His only interest is the Youtube vue. Since I saw 2 of his video, I stopped watching them, I know what they are about.

@JoeDaSnow ,
Please stop posting videos here. Or, explain yourself. I have not seen you respond to any of the questions posed here. From that I can only conclude, you are not able, don't care, are a youtube self-promoter, or hold us in contempt. You are not adding any value to this community.

Exactly - most people on here show the failings of others, or their own failings, and in the latter case usually with an expression of contrition. He must be the only poster who highlights his own failings as a positive...Technically it's the same as when someone puts up a video of an idiot. Just skips a step.

Looking at practice on Race 2 for tomorrow, any recommendations for Gr3 at Lake M?

Last week I summarized my week at the ring and lamented my 0 for 59 win record there though I love the track. Upon further review, it gets better. My win record at:
Alas, this week was Fuji week in a group 4 combo. Before this week I had 59 wins over 1500 odd races. I set a good QT lap on Tuesday and am confident that it will remain in the top 100 (Americas) until the end of the week. The QT led to many poles, competitive races and 10 new race wins. All of the races were in the top split SR.90+ lobbies.
At the front the races were clean and respectful with a few odd hiccups. I met some new racers and reacquainted with some old friends.
In mid-pack it was vicious and plain stupid at times. The pen system is broken - we know that. It has infected all levels of racing.
The highlight was a race with "Bia the fast racer from Brazil in a pink car". I started Q2 and was able to keep up for a bit but I had to shake P3 and fell to 2.9s back. Then she got a 1.0s boundary pen. I finished 1.1 seconds behind. There was a chance....
I am done for the week as my racing psychology has seriously veered into DR grinding and I do not want to live in that place.
Cheers.
- Lago Maggiore GP (I & II) => 0 for 72,
- Suzuka => 0 for 84.
