My car seems so slow compared to the rest, need to practice more.

All in all was some good racing and is nice to get back into it.
 
Nice to lead a couple laps and have a memorable little scrap with OffApple all race 3, Races 1 and 2 my own mistakes led to my undoing.

BoP wise, a few notes. few tweaks to come but worth noting that whilst an Audi top 7 sweep cannot be ignored, there were a few significant drivers missing for other makes and everything has to be considered in relation to one another. I'll be looking through replay data and making decisions, their may be a minor tweak to the Audi in some form, but honestly it won't be more than 1% change. Renault and Peugeot will receive breaks as well.

Should have tables done soon-ish.

More important to note that apart from Joe all the best drivers are using it and Dragon Trail is an Audi/Peugeot track, so Audi being top 7 isn’t too surprising, I’ll have a go with VW later.

Yes, would also have been interested in how @Panoz would have gone in the Peugeot. From my experiences last night the Audi has slightly more top end speed but nothing OP, it's the stability in cornering. VW will be OP if changed anymore, other cars plainly needed boost.

Also Stewarding / tables done, just waiting for a bit if anything else gets sent to me.
 
So, first races for me in the FRL.

First of all I want to apologize for the wrong power setup. I did not pay attention to the bhp number in the OP, just the percentage which is wrong apparently. @Furinkazen maybe you can correct it for future reference.

Race #1: Started 12th, but kept it fairly mistake-free and ended up in an epic fight with @CrazyJohn and @Gedi69 . Trading a bit of paint here and there but to me all was good, I hope the others see it the same way. P6 in the end.

Race #2: Started 7th but then came lap 2: I braked early into turn 1, but I think @Roflwaffle braked even earlier and I pushed him a little. He then pushed @Yeratel84 , really sorry for that! Then someone made a mistake in the bus stop and there was a small pile-up which I couldn't avoid and crashed heavily, destroying my engine. After that I was pretty much alone at the back of the pack. P14

Race #3: Started on Pole but lost the spot at the start to @offapple and then to @Furinkazen . Made a mistake in turn 1-2 on lap 3 (?) and dropped down the field. P10

I think my best lap without draft was a 46.6, whereas you managed 45.7 and 45.8 laps in clean air when pulling away from me in race 2. At Brands we were even, other than the tyre wear.

I was also over 0.5 up on every Audi driver too. At Brands you were faster than me by 0.1-0.2 seconds on fresh tyres so it really does depend on how the track suits the cars.

It's just the setup
 
8 hours later, “a bit”. :P

Got sent something else to review, will be tomorrow now.

Anyway, some news, as @Foxed side of the FAS garage gets busier with a second entry for the rest of the ToCA14 season joining him with @Katiegan bringing the #112 TICKETMASTER VW RACING SILVERLINE Volkswagen Scirocco to the series.

@LewisR3 @HighStakes @RedPartyhat @AudiMan2011 @Espial @Roflwaffle @Matty@CrazyJohn @DrifterJoe @RACECAR @Panoz @LancerEvo7 @Foxed @Niop @Ninners @GTPorsche@RealJaySee @Spurgy 777 @Yeratel84 @MadDog18 @chrisjohnson93 @Andil @damonc84

STEWARDING:

Round #5 Lap 2 - Multi car incident with @Yeratel84 getting pinged into sand by @Roflwaffle who was tagged by @Espial . @Espial - 1 strike. No further action taken on top as he finished last, so a time penalty would be worthless.

Round #6 Lap 7
- @Gedi69 & @Niop come together at T4 before the Esses. @Gedi69 could have completed that move without contact or at very least not pushed him off. 5 second penalty applied to @Gedi69 as well as 1 strike - Old finishing order GED JOH YER NIO - Revised JOH YER NIO GED.

Round #6 Lap 11
- @Gedi69 @RedPartyhat get together in chicane, well you did it a lap before but someone lifted. This time Gedi didn't, RPH had the line, however Gedi penalised himself more with the move so just a cautionary warning there for @Gedi69 .

Round #6 Lap 12 - @Spurgy 777 @ @Roflwaffle come together. First bit of contact Spurgy squeezes Rofl wide, but then again risky move from Rofl. Into the chicane and whilst Spurgys wheels are pointed towards Rofl's car mid corner, the input delay suggests that this was not deliberate and certainly made a little worse by lag. No action taken.

Current Strikes:
1x
- @damonc84 @Espial @Gedi69


STANDINGS:

Already got confirmed to me that @LancerEvo7 & @Andil won't be at Kyoto, so 6 Q spots and hopefully a renewed grid post-break. Also as a further foot-note, BoP and any other revisions will come at weekend.
