That solidifies my plan of not doing QT and pitting on lap one just for whatever dregs of points I may get.Just watched Asia-Oceania GT1 slot 1, it's a dry sprint in all 3 leagues.

I've been moaning all week in the dailies thread that C was used to usher players to the Manu race and practice for it. That's why A and B were such un fun odditiesHow poor is that. The whole week you do 3 laps sprint on hards in the dailies, and then they offer you 5 laps sprint on hards. I was sure it should have some rain, but that’s not the case…
Just about but don't hang around.... (I'm on a base PS4 as well so most folk will have faster loading than me)Does anyone know if there is enough time between GT2 races to be able to make the next slot?
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.Just about but don't hang around.... (I'm on a base PS4 as well so most folk will have faster loading than me)
I switched between my AO and EMEA accounts when I did that change so you'll be good.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'm going to be honest, I'm glad the season is over. Only taking one shot at that today because it's a dull race and doing it in the Renault felt like a mistake. Just another race where I've felt like I have to push the car insanely hard to try be even the slightest bit competitive.
I qualified P6, survived the start cleanly, even managed to build a bit of a gap to P7 across the lap. Coming back onto the GP circuit for lap 2, I've suddenly got a Supra looming large in my wing mirror. That completely threw me off because the gap evaporated out of nowhere. Checking the replay, I got up to 168mph without slipstream by the Bilstein gantry, then 174mph going through the compression after it. The Supra was doing 175mph BEFORE the gantry whilst still being out of slipstream range. I know cars need to have their individual strengths and weaknesses but that's crazy. The RS01 is not a car I'm going to miss.
I got flustered with the Supra so close and ended up trying to push too hard to try keep the gap, which did not mesh at all in a race where it feels like you're driving on ice with Hards. My lap 2 was a shambles and I lost a couple of positions. I managed to settle down again and slot in behind a Corvette, but there was no way I'd ever be able to pass it without some kind of mistake being made. The Renault simply couldn't mount an attack down the straights in the slipstream.
I ended up losing another one later on to a Nissan who didn't bother qualifying and was trying to do last-to-first, followed up on lap 5 by a Porsche.
I finished P8 in the end thanks to people crashing, worth 188 points. Also got a CRB. I'd have needed P5 or better to improve my season score. Considering how the Renault seemed completely incapable of making any passes down the Dottinger Hohe, I can't see that realistically happening even though I was only a few seconds behind P5 in the end. I need to start very close to the front and somehow not get slipstreamed into oblivion.
It's not just his connection it's a mix of yours and his that is the issue.Today's race made me seriously thinking about quitting racing online with that game...
I got 190 pts from that round, but I risked one more shot and that was disaster. I even gained fev positions at the start bqut then I literally got destroyed at lap 1 by some guy flying trough my car after massive lag. Sent to the barriers, damage everywhere... Geeeez!
There should be some alghoritm that ghosts players with big ping until their connection is back to normal. Two days of practice wasted. That's frustrating...
