GT2 - EMEA - Mid B - Door #11 - 117pts for the win

Can't skip the Nordschleife after all 😅 Dissapointed that there was no rain and we had to run those damn Hards for the whole race.

Quali was awful. P12 with a really bad lap and lots of mistakes

The race was a destruction derby for the most part. Made really good progress through the first lap with a highest position of 5th due to lots of fighting and crashing in front.

At Wipperman a Porsche in front was braking really early and I hit him. Did not expect him to brake so early. Called me retarted afterwards. Watched the replay and don't know. He was fighting the car it seemed and braking a lot earlier then you normaly would. Probably should have waited either way 😕

Slipped back to P7 after that and had a great fight with another Porsche over the next 2 laps. Switched positions a couple of times and after I ran wide at Wehrseifen he was ahead and I couldn't catch him.

Another car infront spun out which handed me P6 and I finished there for 93points. Not a bad race overall I guess but definitly my last race for Lamborghini. We'll see what the next Manu Series will bring.

Does anyone know if there is enough time between GT2 races to be able to make the next slot?

Just about but don't hang around.... (I'm on a base PS4 as well so most folk will have faster loading than me)

The only difference between the 2 races this week (apart from the layout) is the time of day are at opposite ends of the scale. Early morning for Daily C and sunset for Manu. The cars are a lot less slippery for the Manu race, so the tyres should warm up faster. I think the track temps were 7c for Daily C and 14c for Manu. Take it easy in the GP section and by the time you hit the forest, the tyres should be at optimum temp. Good luck guys!

My issue is switching accounts to race my alts too. I’m on a PS5 but that still may not be enough time to exit the race, switch accounts, load GT7 and get in the race on time.

It will be the difference between doing 3 straight and doing every other….

I switched between my AO and EMEA accounts when I did that change so you'll be good.

Good to know!
As long as I have 5 minutes I should make it.
I’m about to find out as I am about to do NA slot 1 on the main. That’s the one I really want to do.

The others are just for the points.

Started 3rd, 2 seconds or so off pole. Moved up to 2nd at the first corner as a Merc was lagging and braked really early. Stuck it out behind the Supra in front fairly well until I slid wide and into the wall just after the Karussell. Lost 2nd to a Porsche in the run up to Flugplatz on lap 2. Kept it in 3rd and had a chance to pass the Porsche on the straight at the end, got alongside him after he was weaving a lot but right as we went under the bridge there was a massive lag spike (watching the replay, about a full car's length ffs) so I backed off.

I'm not taking a picture of me with the Porsche because it has a stupid livery so here's my massive dive at the start (it was a dive but I got it stopped)

Disappointing that two or three mistakes ended up costing me but after racing Supras, Porsches and AMGs here in Race C I'm really not surprised I didn't quite have the pace to keep with them. I lost about a second on the straight alone to that Supra. Still, a decent result and about the best I could do.
