Thought I'd try out the new 400PP QM the other day, having not been on GT6 for a little while, love the lower PP QM's; namely 500PP and below, and was pleasantly surprised to find some pretty solid racing. As expected at this level, there seemed to be a good level of variety, and there wasn't that many GSXR's to boot either, with the most I saw being 4 (at least that was the case in the room I was in).
The racing itself also seemed to be very solid, with the exception of a couple of typical GXSR drivers who clearly lacked the driving manners, and a Chilean chap in a DC5 Integra, who seemed to have downright road rage
.
However it was a pleasure to come across the perennially quick and clean driving Ra2_7002 again, this time in his very rapid Alpine A310. I decided to take out my rather nippy, but rather waggly-tailed (but huge fun) MGF
.
As is ever the case with Ra2_7002, the race was very much clean, and very close at that, as he kept me honest (or nervous
) for the duration of the race, sticking to my backside throughout, but it seemed I was just about quick enough in the key areas to keep him behind, and in the end I got a rather unexpected but welcome 3rd place.
Pace wise, I was able to run solid mid-pack usually, sort around the 5th/6th mark, running high 1:05's/low 1:06's, with my best being a 1:05.8 I think. Though with a little tweaking on the setup, and the driving, I would surely be able to go quicker, as usually my MGF is ran at the 450PP mark.
Also, managed to come across another GTP'er for the 1st time in a long time, in the form of
@Draggon, aka G_ASHER in his MG TF160 which was nice to see, as it'd seem usually end up missing all you fellow GTP'ers, though I am one of the later ones
