I'm not really racing anymore but I am benchmarking. Don't look at the miles.
Nah. This timeline is crazy.

Wow, insane time man! I'm 8 seconds behind you. So I doubt I'll be able to get that far, maybe a sub 2'05.000, but that's a big IF.

I’d say there isn’t much change apart from needing to heavy up the wheel, TM feels like it needs a set of mediums to unleash the Porsche, I feel I’ll be saying this every week!
I’ll wait until next week for a try at the G70, so far I only have tried the Porsche at Spa and TM
1.53.279 is my QT at TM placing me around 5-7 in BA

I think I know what you mean and it's possible and faster. and it could be imaginery but if I adjust speed so I don't have to slam the stick to the rim
You still think so, now that the Dailies started? I did some qualification laps there yesterday evening and had no issues. I would rather say that trial Mountain became a bit annoying after the "changes" . To be honest, up to now the changes seem to me like they put more understeer to the corners entrance and a bit more oversteer for the corners exit. overall i dont like it, but it is not annoying

Man the sweaty drivers were in the Americas region in Race B Driving Rank A this evening. Spent a few hours trying to earn a top five finish (which is due to my PB is currently 1’52”648) however everyone I am grouped up with is doing 1’50-51’s. I haven’t been playing in Sport no more than two weeks however I don’t understand why the game puts me against these drivers because it’s destruction derby every race.
How do you guys learn to be faster? I can’t learn from battling the midfield all race unless people don’t try to dive bomb and take me out and magically I hit top five which happened once out of ten races today.
A bit of frustration after a long session.

I'm back! Sort off....
I'm back to DR D
having started over, this time in VR. I'm sticking with the goal of my QT being solely on my own driving and no ghost cam rabbit to chase. Against beginners in E/D ranks that has put me on pole each race so far. My first two races at Tsukuba were a bit shaky but after finding the 8C horrible at first, I started to gel with it. Two races I finished first and the last race was in 2nd after a mishap first lap dropped me to 6th. It was fairly easy to climb back to 2nd even after pulling off to the side lap 6 to wait for 2nd place after accidentally punting him at the hairpin. The third race, crapped out with a session error which luckily did not affect me (I thought we were done with those sort of session errors...)
Driving in the lower ranks is a challenge. It's easy if out front but if you get in the fray it then becomes a lot more unpredictable.
The question now that I am DR D and points count, do I go for race B or C.....? 🤷♂️

I saw you with the Lambo in someone's livestream. Looked like a wild ride. I admired your ability to keep it on the track.😅

It's a really nice car to drive once you get the hang of it (I'm still learning). It looks really good too against a grid of sales rep/accountants cars 👌

I had no problem doing c yesterday without a tire change. Given the sweaty factor this week in B, its probably prudent to take an early pit stop in c to avoid the mess and cruise through. Given, your pretty rapid, a few wins should blast you up pretty quickly.I'm back! Sort off....

I had lots of fun with Race A so far. That car is sketchy as hell in its high RPM range, so when you see 3 dudes heading into the same corner it's pretty obvious someone will die. I just kept early braking to the inside and dodging the carnage. I was racing from the back of the grid and people were losing their minds, rage-quitting after I would pass them.

The Bathurst race is brutal as always. Despite doing many races this morning, I am always terrified as soon as the downhill section starts. Love this track!
This race has been great in getting me used to the new physics. Folks around me have been respectful and careful, which is helping me even more in getting used to the new physics.
Does anyone has a recommendation for an easy car for Bathurst for me? Given:
1. The Porsche has been nicely stable for me at -5BB.
2. I can't get the rears of Alfa Romeo and Audi R8 to be stable, no matter what BB.
3. The McLaren is terribly understeery for me regardless of BB.
The Honda RA272 at Eiger Nordwand next week sounds potential fun! Gran Turismo's version of F1 at Monaco. Fingers crossed that it stays clean and is not a snoozefest.

It would be an even more disaster if the event consisted of Group 1 cars, the track is narrow and twisty in Sectors 1 and 2. But we won't know until Monday morning.
@appu You're preaching to the quire, I loathe Bathhurst, but it's not as bad as the Nordschleife track which is even 2-3 times longer than Bathhurst.
I hope the Suzuka race consists of Group 2 cars, like Nebu72 said. Gr. 1 cars would make the race too intense and insane.

Oops, sorry, xD. Well maybe it's not a bad track after all, I just need to try to have patience with it. And it's hard to choose the right car for it. And I'm avoiding the Lexus car, I tried it a couple months ago at Laguna Seca and it did not favor my liking.Sorry but I actually said that I love Bathurst.
But then I am a glutton for punishment. I was also thinking that the Nordschleife is gonna be an actual hell after this update.
Lol, now I'll be scared to race at the Nords. It's such a long, exhausting track. I wonder what car PD is going to choose for the Sardegna track, that'll be cool running on dirt for a week.
@GrumpyOldMan did you save a replay of your Trial Mountain run? I'd like to see where I'm losing time and making mistakes. If you wouldn't mind. If you didn't save it, that's fine.

Doesn't the Eiger Race C say "CS" (ergo Comfort Soft) tyres?
Looking at a one-make most probably (unless they go adventurous and have a hp/weight or PP limit), and that'd likely be the M3 for all the new-new goodness, or the Roadster Touring Car.

Wow, they already have the info up this early? I'm impressed. Somebody must be getting the ball rolling with this new update and the physics.I'd be quite happy with the M3, but I am still going to assume (and you know what they say about those who assume?) it's the RA272 mocking the event coming up...
