You won the race and are the only other
Why complaining about Tokyo. Even ignoring the fact I had the 2nd slowest fastest lap.
I'm the one throw away a good finish. Because I decided make sure the walls were working properly. I can confirm the they do.

I wasn't complaining,I was merely pointing out that I was not fast at Tokyo, there is a big difference between the two. I didn't count how many pits everyone made but I am guessing that I probably pitted the least for damage, that was on lap 3 after a spin and a wall touch on lap 2. The rest of my stops were scheduled stops for fuel and tires. That doesn't change the fact that my car was as slow as anyone's on the straights, I could only hit 211, I saw others going 220 or more. I had a lot of downforce, I wanted the car to drive nice because you must be so precise not to hit walls, it also should have worked good in the rain, which it did rain as I correctly guessed. But it gave me no lap time advantage in the dry or wet.

I did state the Tokyo East tracks are difficult to setup for. I went with balance setup for downforce because how important straightaway speed is for passing on the Tokyo East layouts. Somehow MrMidn7ght setup his Porsche that could beat me on straights and was out cornering me. The Porsche should lack straightaways compared to the Jaguar, Mazda, and Nissan. So I’m a bit curious what kind of setup he found.

Hey guys sorry for the lack posting. Had an unusually busy week for me. Anyways this week we're at Tsukuba Circuit. A small stop go style road course. Rain is possible by random chance. As of for our race. Expect on track passing to be extremely difficult if not impossible at this performance. A good starting and pit strategy will be very important. Very low average speed means very short race. A 1 stop strategy on is possible but, may require some fuel savings depending on the car and driver. A 2 stop strategy on may also work.

Oh yeah a notice to our Brazilian friends. The US is in Daylight Savings as of March 9th. I'm not sure on how clock change relates to Brazil time. If you do not practice Daylight Savings with the US. Then our races will be 1 hour earlier for you.

Lobby opens in less than 12 hours for our short track race at Tsukuba. Unfortunately I've been handicapped twice before this race. My favorite controller is out of service as Wednesday because some of the buttons stopped working. And on top of that I'm now sick with a cold. Yes I still plan to host. If race car drivers can still race when sick. I can play video game. Just hope I only sneeze on the straights. See you soon guys. Sniff!

My friend raced motocross as a kid, I wasn't unusual for a kid to barf inside of his closed face helmet. Take that!!!!

I wonder how real race car drivers deal with sneezing, coughing, or eye irritations while driving. Makes me think that some single car crashes are not always the car's. And maybe the just sneezed at the wrong time. And blame the car for having some kind of mechanical issues to save face.

I can tell you that they don't pull over to sneeze or cough. It's kind of funny, I used to have real bad allergies for the entire summer but never once did they ever bother me when I had my helmet on.

I tend to easily get sick respiratory illnesses, but rarely do I stomach viruses.
