B/S

I've found most of the time me getting hit is because of drivers not knowing what's a passing zone and what isn't. Like you can't go side by side into T3, or the esses so when I'm getting hit there I chalk it up to bad racecraft and not having track knowledge.

By wednesday though I expect those types of hits to stop and if they don't it's likely intentional.

Ya, a good QT is imperative for Deep Forest. You need to get out in front of the battle. Use those leaderboard ghosts!!

I tried this and did go 3 tenths quicker than my previous effort (but I put TCS 0 and BB 1 to front)
Definitely easier to drive but feels a bit spongy - I think I'm fighting the assistance when it gets loose? Tried a race, and it was still a sweaty mess 😂😭

On Race C, I've gone from 'weak' ABS to 'default' and taken 2 tenths off my previous best. I don't think it was just a lucky lap as had several in a row that were similar.


Off to try Race C again...

For C I'm not using any BB got back from work did 2 laps and took 2/10s off my time and oddly/same as you that didn't feel like some colossal grind/unicorn lap at the time.

The race is boring in a good way for me as I dropped to middle B from A last week so I'm sitting on pole although a few of the A+ alt accounts are doing the race.

Last race all B/S lobby me on pole, passed by P2 in to the chicane (cleanly) and I never saw him again finished 9.5s in front of me on a 20.02.xx and I was 7s in front of the P3 pack.

I don't know how to look for player names.
I tried it yesterday, wanted to add rising_glass @Chris30 cause I remembered his online name, but didn't know where to look.

I don't know why I have massive issues with DF Race B. I'm on a low 1:28😔 but what's worse, 3 evenings of trying hard but I didn't enjoy it a bit. Racing tyres M feel like racing wet tyres.. I can use bb-1 or +4 on the Genesis X and achieve the same result. The track was one of my favorites, once.
Race c - I like Genesis in gr3 and gr4, I was looking forward to the race, the last 126 times we drove there in 2024, I was good and enjoyed it.
Would never have thought, that I really miss the drive to the pits, remember it is a very very evil pit entry lane, but like this, it was a bit boring. Now as I wrote that, maybe it's just me having a bad mood without noticing, I will try to enjoy the races. Race x is 1.26.6xx.
And I'm finally out of B, I'm happy about it, had a lot of aggressive competition, you know, fighting dirty and to death for position 12 or 13 doesn't make sense to me😉


Thanks, that's some valuable info, which will make my whole week better.!

I’m with you there on race B, I’m fastest in the Porsche so far but it’s very slidy and also very dirty, so not enjoying it much.

But I don’t have much time this week anyhoo so I’ll leave it too the weekend and my idea is that I’ll have some good racing to do whatever the weather 😁

I’m already wishing the week away but I don’t mind.

My enjoyment of group 3 is waining a bit, I know they have balanced it a bit better I just don't enjoy the characteristics of the cars that much now.

I'll race them and can drive them but I don't enjoy that as much as the Gr4 stuff where the margins are finer but the racing "mostly" closer. The gr3 stuff always feels too knife now for me with some really weird momentum changes. Not something you can't over come just a little counter intuitive for the control inputs.

That they made slides so much easier to catch but with every yin is a yang, the cars slide more so it feels "frustrating" when on a hot lap you are randomly catching a slide you didn't provoke. Just a strange mechanic and hence why the whole 1st to 3rd double shift thing is now the norm....

The only real job a race team has to do is tune the suspension and the gearing for each track yet...
