After many races on Thursday where I got punted off and finished dead last, I finally had a cleaner race yesterday evening.

Started P5 on the hards, and was very happy to be still in the race in lap 3, despite some push to pass moves so I lost about 3 places.

Some guy behind me was lightning quick. He bumpdrafted me on the straight so I could overtake someone easily, and he overtook us both, going 3 wide in turn 1 without any contact. I thought he was just an above average player for this lobby.

I pitted later then most, from P4 on the grid, and was happy to see I lost only 2 places while in the pitlane. From P6 I was chasing down P5 with ease, and saw that it was my lightning quick friend. Apparently he started on the softs then. Overtook him for P5 and finished on that position. Happy to finally have a race again where I didn't get punted into a spin.

Apart from taking part in Race B & C throughout the week, it's been a good week on the whole as my DR rating again went up to A from B. Race C I've been choosing either the R8 (new meta) or the GT by Citroen car as both of them are fast & stable. The GT car is very gentle on tyres, especially the RH.

Race B is also fun. G70 offers more grip & traction in turns but is a little harder to turn with due to being 100kgs more in weight than the GT by Citroen car. I've been using both of these cars depending on the mood. It's been fun driving around Abu Dhabi.

CGV I've not touched in Race A but today took part in a lobby race there where it was practice/qualy/race for 14 laps. With the right cars, CGV can be real fun too.

P.S. - For the past 2 days I was thrilled to see Calster was livestreaming his racing in Race C by choosing a different Gr. 3 car for every race. He tried F-Type, Suzuki VGT, 911 '17, Nissan GT-R etc. Loved his feedback as to which cars are worth trying or not. He's an inspiration as he's super quick despite being a controller player. Was so happy seeing his race live even if it was 4+ hours of live streaming. His feedbacks are detailed which helps a lot.

Does he stream on YouTube or Twitch?
 
Went back to the G70 today as my sluggish feeling with it in race B i think is being more planted 😁 had some good races today but lost my BS rating and fell to BB due to just racing, fell to BA whilst racing was still clean and fun but it takes a turn the further you fall and folk start driving more erratically and diving in and then it’s time to turn off,

Hopefully it improves next week, I almost forgot it was Sardegna A so that should be fun and maybe it’s a viper again, short shifting, or maybe another meta presents itself,

Either way, hope you all had a good week and let’s go again next week
