Interlagos Round 3: Just from what I've seen in the practice lobbies, the Megane is going to have major issues against almost every other car. It's a sitting duck on the straights, so anyone in my slip stream is going to have a field day by the time we hit turn one. It has great agility, but it's not enough to compensate for its lack of top speed.

The Mclaren and the Lambo seem very strong, as do the Ferrari and Porsche Cayman. The first Megane on the leaderboard is currently 315th by an A+ Japanese driver.

Definitely a survival round for me.

I’m going to use the Megane Trophy version.
I haven’t checked the speed of the others but this afternoon I noticed a Japanese in 31st position.
I am actually in the 1.400 place with a time of 1:38.xxx and I am a very low B driver.

I am moving forward some braking points especially at T3, now very close to 50 meter sign… but the critical aspect is how you turn on left releasing the brakes.

Also the T1 and how you decelerate, change gear and how you stay on left and turn immediately right to accelerate again.

With no tire strategy everything will be about clean trajectory and gaining speed…
…considering how much I am lucky I will be killed by some bomb-driver…

That guy who was 38th this afternoon is now 300+ in rank and there isn't another Renault near his time. I tend not to do the TT and just try to concentrate on my race pace. But 1:40 is definitely achievable because I did it in a race quali. The problem with the Trophy is that is lacks top speed so you get drafted but you can't draft back. It's rally frustrating. The Mclaren on the main straight was about 5/6mph faster than me.

I am hoping to find drivers in a low B lobby that will not perform very well and maybe the fight among them could reduce their pace.
You are more skilled than me and you will be in A+ group, so for you will be much more challenging.
