Yesterday I've jumped to do a couple races on Deep Forest. I am feeling pretty strong at this combo, in fact the last time I did daily races was the previous time Deep Forest gr. 3 combo back in August (time flies!) with only GTWS races since.
Last time around I was using 4C, but jumped into the meta Ford GT this time - it is really bizarre feeling to feel absolutely safe on the straights if there is a different car behind - no amount of draft would help popular 911s catch up.
I started the day with 98% of DR A - feeling this was inflated after GTWS races that I've had plenty time to practice for. After around 20 laps improved my QT to 1:27.192, which still meant I was starting towards the back of the pack in what felt like one of the top splits in EMEA.
I got to race with B. Hencsei who was holding QT record at the time and
@GOTMAXPOWER - someone whose name I recognize ever since watching Super GT videos a couple years ago, way back before I even thought I would ever get a PS5 and play GT. It's been an honor to me, I would never expect to even be near this level.
As the post is getting long to quickly summarize - I was able to capitalize on other guys mistakes and fighting in some of the races. Tried to keep it patient and played tactically - sometimes I would bump draft guy ahead in hope fighting ahead would leave me with some scraps to pick up. It worked and for the first time I got into the DR A+!

I will perhaps share some replays later on of the coolest moments from the evening.
