@TechnoIsLove i did another race this time with a QT (nothing to set the world on fire 1.40:3)

Started pole, last chicane spun on the last lap and pipped at the line by 1/100th for 4th

The car is mega competitive but it does need concentration and using its strengths against the Lambo. Later braking, much more trail braking and coasting at a higher speed, the confidence to get on the throttle early and cleanly makes the difference on to the straights.

My car progression for race B
Lambo -> Scirocco -> TT cup

I bet the nsx is nice. Have to give it a spin (probably into the wall at yeet chicane)
 
Only time for 1 attempt at Daily Race C.

Pretty happy with this one.

Had my first stint on daily B. Though my time was okay in the Huracàn but it wasn't. In the first race half the field was DR A against my DR B and I QTed a lowly 12th. I managed to gain a couple spots but still a DR lost.

I decided I need to put in some serious QT runs. Pulled out a ghost and finally figured out how to drive the Huracàn. BB 0 with really light brake pressure appears to work best for me. Also found some significant time and took .8s off my QT to get a more impressive 1.40.592.

That put me in a better position for race 2. Started in 3rd and finished in 3rd but the field was mostly SR B rated drivers with only me and one other at SR S. I was worried as accusations of dirty driving were flying around before the race in the lobby but I managed to avoid any funny business.

Race 3 I end up in a field of DR A and DR A+ starting out in 5th. Had a really good race and traded spots a couple of times but ultimately slipped one to finish 6th. Still I felt pleased against a tough lobby.

Managed to gain 6% DR points in three races. 10% more needed for DR A.... Wonder if I will get there this week? Last time I was in this position it teased me a lot; I would gain, then get knocked back. Rinse and repeat!

Final though. I love racing softs! Makes you feel like you know what you're doing! :D

I will try some Kyoto races today. Tried some different cars for quali laps yesterday. In my opinion the NSX is no less twitchy than the Lambo, especially in the chicane. But this could also be due to the fact I am more used to the Lambo. If I can more or less match my Lambo quali time with the G70, I might try that in races because I find it generally stable. Also tried the Megane shortly, but I don't have the time to really get to know the Megane or NSX in order to drive them better. Actually the Lambo is not too bad when you handle the brakes with care before the high-speed left handers.

Last week was a blast in Atlanta, and I climbed to mid DR-B. Most of the time, the following week I drop back to low DR-B or high DR-C. However, it turned out I could maintain and even improve on Kyoto (with the Lambo). Now I'm reaching high DR-B, with DR-A in sight. The question is: double luck with the circuits, or am I really improving? Time will tell...
