Dream car championship

Today I was doing some racing in A-spec to get me another 1000 ticket, so I thougt about doing the dream car championship again. I decide to do just the last race on the Nurburgring 24H track because I really love this track. I decided to drive with my yellow GT by Citroen Race Car. This car is really great, except for the cockpitview. You can't see a thing trough that:tdown:. I decided to go for it. When the race started up I saw it was raining so I fitted my rain tires and knew that I had a chance against the Jaguar le mans car.

The race started and I took the lead after the second corner. The rainy conditions were very tricky, I was sliding all over the place. But is still was faster than everybody else. I pulled a little gap until the inevetable happened. I spun with 200 km/h at the beginning of the norschleife and lost my lead. Now I was upon a challenge, drive back to the front in the heavy spray. I quickly made up some time to be in Second again and started to catch the leading Ford GT test car. Until I crashed again and fell back to 11th position. Now things were getting very dificult I thought so I decide to just go for it and enjoy it. At the end of the first lap I was back in 6th again and was catching the pack in front quickly. throughout the lap I had another incident and entered the last lap in 8th. Now it was everything of nothing, do or die. The car felt great and at the first sector I was 25 second behind the leading Ford GT. This was my best lap of the race and I overtook for 5th, 4th and 3th. I had a little chance of catching the leader, however again I spun on high speed, quickly restoring it by spinning my car back in the right direction. I went for it and took 2nd place at the beginning of the long straight. In the end I was 5 seconds down on the winning Ford, but I enjoyed myself and had a great race. What I really liked about this race was the difficulty of driving in the wet on the nordschleife, it was a great experience and was happy with my second place. Also I really liked the Citroen Race Car, its easy to control, although you might think otherwise after reading my report:sly:. This is one of the reasons why GT5 is a great racing game, it can give you a great driving experience!

Have you done the Mercedes Nurburgring Lessons? Some of them teach you about driving in the Rain, and that you should take a Middle-Middle-Middle Line throughout, instead of the conventional Out-In-Out, due to the fact that the racing line is the smoothest, and therefore the slipperiest part of the track in the rain.

Just lower corner speed and you shouldn't crash, normally you should be working the tyres hard enough to get a little bit of squealing through the corner, that is the last thing you want in the rain.
