Woo hoo! I just had my most consistent race ever. I know the times aren't mind-boggling like for some of you, but for me to be this consistent is amazing. I started P2, and it helped that I couldn't keep up with P1, and nobody behind challenged me, but I can rarely keep my focus this long and not screw up somewhere. I almost lost it a little on the last lap, when I noticed how consistent I was and didn't want to mess up, which always leads to trouble, but I held it together. Very satisfying.

You've inspired me to do the same, this was very interesting viewing. Low to mid 31's is decent pace, you should be doing well in B lobbies at that speed. Now, how does one get their screenshots from a PS5 to one's PC? Cannot figure out a way t save my damn life. But I tried the same in a race I was easily winning, was a good exercise.
Continuing the discussion of passing on the inside corners at RBR, I present this. Watch the short clip, then consider the thumbnail. Although I was probably too fast into the corner, you can see in my rearview mirror that he turned into me and hit my rear, which spun me off track - or maybe it was just my speed, or maybe both. But I think his response was a little over the type (understatement). I wish I had slammed on the brakes when he tried to hit me the last time. Sigh.
Chief you totally bombed him and completely missed your apex, not surprised he retaliated, i'd have done the same.
Working theory:
The only thing matters towards your lap time at RBR is how much you abuse the curbs in the last 2 corners. Everything you do for the rest of the lap is completely irrelevant.
Naaaaaaaaaaah.T1 is absolutely vital, can make or lose 3 tenths there. The last left hander too, you need to carry just enough speed and get on it at just the right time or you bork yourself.
Just throwing this out there [again]. The FT1 is pretty darn good. Like I say a lot, you're not going to be dominating A+ lobbies with it, but for A or B lobbies it can compete. Just tooling around RBR in the pre-race quali I did a 28.8 without even really trying.
I shall try it, I am missing a few tenths in qualifying, still on a 29.3 and I really need to be in the 28's. The Supra is a beast in terms of acceleration, the GTR's cannot keep up out of 3 and 4 as I have so much more grip. Try the Lancer, it is my best qualy car, there's a good race car there.
In my quest to earn a fake A+ DR this week, I had a frustrating night. Race 1, full A lobby, finished a solid 3rd, excellent racing, real sweaty palms stuff with fast cars pressuring me.
Race 2, STACKED A+/A room, started 7th and it was a tense lap 1 with cars everywhere but super clean, these guys were good and this was my opportunity to gain DR. Someone got a wiggle through the last left hander and as I tried to go around him i caught the dirt and spun, super annoyed with myself there.
Race 3, Mixed A/B lobby, I cleared out and won by 10 seconds, my fastest lap was a 30.0 and slowest a 30.2 so really pumped in the times despite driving in a relaxed manner.
is it an awful thing on stock specs. Something is very, very wrong with how it's modelled as it should not be presenting with as much weight transfer, snap oversteer and unexplained wheelspin as it does. I suspect they did not simulate something correctly, or that they intentionally bodged the car's numbers to nerf it. "Real driving simulator", my rear bumper.
