Edit.
I'm going to take a break from posting for a bit. I'm sure some lurkers and google searchers find value in my posts. I'm finding less and less value in posting them to me personally.
See you all on track 👍

I'm back to winning ways with Race B! 
I'm having success with the Porsche and I was in a race where the Z4 did an admirable job!!
I would have has the CRB in addition to pole position and fastest lap if it hadn't been for this contact at turn 2. Again, I have to wonder, where are other expecting cars to go? It's like people have become too accustomed to racing with the ghost. 🤔

You might see me distantly in your rear view mirror 🥹 - I can't drive the G70 well without a tune

That’s random isn’t it, just showing 1?!
Glad it’s race C as I won’t be touching it 😂🤣

Thanks for these tips. Tip 1 I always try. A car like the G70 makes it so easy to just go full throttle without spinning out though, so I have the tendency to put the pedal to the metal as fast as I can.
As for the coasting you mention in tip 2.. I believe it was you who tipped me a few months ago to not fully slam the brakes, but to coast through the first corner of Brand's Hatch. It didn't really stick to me at that time, but since last week I know what you mean.
My newbie reasoning to be fast was like.. drive fast as long as you can, brake short and hard, take the corner, and again smash the throttle. Took me a while to see that I gain time when I brake for about 50 %, coast while cornering and then accelerate again. It's smoother that way with less brutal weight transferring. My guess now is that this works in many more situations than just this one corner and this one car.

I'm gonna guess Race A will be the Nations Cup Sprint race plus interesting to see the National variant of Catalunya being used too.

Tokyo East Counterclockwise?
If that's actually true (the GTWS race is at the usual Clockwise layout) that's the first event, singleplayer or multiplayer that layout will have seen in GT7's lifetime.
Also clearly PD have watched @Tidgney's video yesterday since Catalunya National is another track he brought up as being unused.

Some rough races on Brand's Hatch yesterday evening. Seemed like last week people accepted that you cannot overtake easily, and maybe only jumped each other during pitstops. On the full circuit it's a whole different story. Not dirty driving per se, but clumsy and aggressive it was for sure. I finished 5th, 11th and 14th, not really getting into the flow of the track. Couldn't drive smoothly. Don't know what happened when I finished 5th, I guess most people around me were failing even more than I did.

Needed some compromise with my lazyness, it was time to ditch the auto gearbox, thus just doing qualy to re-learn the tracks. my respect to those that are fast with the joypad, my right thumb is basically crying out loud from pain. In the end I couldn't not try some B at Bathrust. Same carnage, I mean, starting 11th to climb to 4th at the beginning of 3rd lap... to be back 11th the next lap. Seems that the downhill section of the track is a sort of unicorn. I see many with significantly lower qualy times than mine smashing themself there 4 times in 5 laps...

I've had some good A races so far. Mostly close and fair, nice racing. Yesterday early evening I had some A+ and A in the field. Starting from position 3 I thought it would be an exciting race and I could follow the two in front of me well and could have overtaken with my elbow, but that's not how I ride. I got my comeuppance from a fellow countryman on lap two when he hit me and I dropped out. I was able to fight back from last place and still had a pretty good race. But I don't understand why drivers cruise around the track during a race and hinder other people's races. Driving like that meant I lost at least one or two places in the end.

I wish A counted for DR!
I was in with some of those guys yesterday too - will keep a lookout for you.
It's been a while since I did many A- races - I wish the DR was active (only because I've been doing well there and poorly at Brands)

Try as I might, I cannot get a consistent lap at Brands Hatch. It's always been one of those tracks I struggle with. I don't hate the track like some others, I'm just not good at it.
But, I am looking forward to Daytona next week. One of my favorite places to race at. Tokyo might be interesting for a few races.

I have that issue often. My familiarity with many of the tracks is pretty poor and I need more than a week to learn the track and then be competitive.
I’ve also hit the figurative wall, my times in both qualifying and races don’t seem to improve at all.
I believe my driving style is flawed, I’m taking the incorrect line and coming in too hot and definitely not practicing slow in, fast out. So, I’ve decided to change my driving style which, initially, is making me even slower but, in the long run, I’m hoping I come out the other end faster.
Also, to your point, I quit Brands Hatch early to practice Daytona. Hoping for a good week.
