Another forgettable run in slot 1 in GT1 Americas last night.

I was pushed off in qualy by someone just exiting the pits and that basically foreshadowed the rest of the event.

Q12 to P10 where I was pushed off 2 more times in the first 3 laps, sustaining damage the second time.

Couldn't be bothered to pit so early, so lost time until my switch to RS on lap 15.

107 meaningless points in the end and that brings a close to this season for me as I'll be at an Iron Maiden concert during round 4.

Really chirpy lobby after the race. Wasn't much fun at all. Lost DR as well.

I'd be very surprised if this race doesn't have 'random' dynamic weather. That is pretty much what makes this particular combo so great. We also have the 24 hour track as next weeks Daily C, I have this sneaky suspicion it's going to be GR4 cars. Either way, I ran the Nissan GTR on the endurance layout and it felt planted. The first lap will be a bit sketchy (for everyone) due to tire temps but after half a lap, things improve in terms of grip. If there isn't any weather involved, then this round won't have any strategy at all, which would be a shame imo.

Ferrari doing Ferrari things at RA. Just noticed this on the replay. I knew this was bad when driving but wasn't aware how bad. Apparently when going a bit wide thru the left coming out of the esses you can get airborne. A little extreme, eh Kaz? No pen though. PD did seem to reduce the pens at this track which was nice.

I did 5 laps at the ring in Free Practice to see if the weather would change. Nope. No changes to time of day or weather. Looks like Sunset - S03 to me. If there's going to be rain in the race, we aren't going to know about it until race day.

For once I am glad at that. I have found no grip in the wet after the update.

Did a few laps around N-End and the Ferrari felt pretty good. Not great, but much better than RA where it wanted to kill me at every turn.

But, the GTR felt great. Nissan may be a dark horse pic this Manu. Three laps and a 7:57.5 which I was quite happy with. I've not tried the Porsche or Genny yet (may not even bother with the Genny since I won't be able to use it) for comparison but the GTR is a good drive thus far.

What’s the time of day for this next race? Want to do some custom races to see how my championship-winning 458 and myself, will fare over 5 laps

They might mean the races settings so they can test that too.

I've been using Sunset - S03. I'm pretty confident that Sunset is the closest time of day. There might be weather settings that are closer than S03, though.

Never had the best day yesterday at Road Atlanta.

Slot 1 - I went into the first slot with a malfunctioning PS4 controller, since the L2 button likes to cut out randomly for a second or 2, which means when i go into braking zones, the brakes cut out for 1 second, and unfortunately this happened multiple times during qualifying, so i never got to put in a good qualifying lap and i ended up qualifying P16.

The race got off to a good start and during the first 3 laps i gained a couple of positions, but after i had just overtook a Porsche who was serving a penalty, i went into the braking zone and my L2 button done its thing and my brakes cut out for a second and i went into the gravel, which dropped me to 2nd last, and then a couple of corners later at T1, i clipped the grass at the exit which caused me to spin, which dropped me further back from the group ahead.

For the remainder of the race, me and the guy who qualified P1 slowly closed up to P9 and P8 but there wasn't enough time to close up on them further. I finished P11 in the end.

Final Slot - My new controller arrived before the final slot, so it was good to not have to worry about my brakes randomly cutting out. I put in a clean qualifying lap this time but it was only good enough for P14. I was going to start on the mediums just like i did in slot 1 but i forgot to change the tyres in the settings, so i started on the softs which turned out to be a good thing because a couple of laps into the race, there was a bit of bumper cars happening at the final chicane, which gave me front and rear aero damage.

I pitted at the end of lap 11 to put on the mediums and fix the damage. The first part of the medium stint i spent chasing down a Lambo, who then eventually pitted and then the 2nd half of the medium stint was rather lonely, since there was a big gap behind me and in front. I finished the race in P10. I was in P11 but Grove Street Racing (Who was on his UK account) crashed towards the end of the race, which gifted me P10.

I really like Road Atlanta, so it's disappointing to come away with a poor result.
