Finally got a chance at 10pm to a couple of Spa races ( sooner my son learns to feed himself the better 🤣). Anyway, very little time for QT which I set at a very poor 2.19 in the Supra. As I expected, I had a bad race...I just do not like that car. I actually quit as I was getting frustrated with it. Anyway, back to the 911 and only time for 1 quali lap at 2.17.9 but definitely a lot more to find. The next 2 races were the most fun races I have had in a long time, really good hard races but clean. Started 3rd in the first one but got out dragged up to Eau Rouge by a Supra and backed out for both our sakes 🤣 was a bloody good race, I made it to 1st and even survived side by side flat out up Eau Rouge with no contact. Unfortunately I just couldn't hold out to win as those Toyota's are stupid fast. Happy with 2nd. Onto my last race and I started P2, this time I tucked in behind the lead Supra and pounced at the end of Kemmel. The 911 is so good in the middle of the lap that I was able to break the tow by the end of the first lap. Was cruising to an easy win, maybe 5 seconds ahead on lap 4(no way to tell in VR) and of course I binned it 🤣🤣🤣 anyway, it was not to disastrous and I managed to hold on to 3rd place. Delighted with that because I am very rusty, hopefully tomorrow evening will afford me a bit more time and practice 👍👍👍

@Jflijohn Wow, that was totally random, well things like that happen. That's why I normally try to stay near the middle half of the pack and then try to overtake on the last lap or two. That is one of my methods/strategies for getting a top 5 finish. What's yours? I hope I can gain a bunch of DR and work my way back up to at least a C level. It's gonna take some time, it won't be an easy walk in the park.

Hey there Chris.
Ya, that was random mainly because there was no aggressive driving or passes leading up to that, and that was on the last lap. I saw him take the guy out on the right and I thought I was gonna gain 2 spots, it didn’t happen.
My strategy is to stay out of traffic, either by qualifying well or pitting early, too many drivers take the agressive way out.

I'm going for Race B at Spa this week. My current quick lap is way off of my usual spot on the leader boards. I'm in the Supra and I'm OK with it, but there is room for improvement for sure.
I did do 2 races to see where I would be on the grid and perhaps steal a few spots. I was P8 in my first race and finished P7 with myself holding the fastest lap for a while. Some contact, but it was the normal type that comes with close racing. The second race had me start and finish in P13. I got the dumb start in the middle of the bus stop and never was really in it. A few off tracks didn't help, but no spins for me so that's a win in my book. I just need to get my time down and avoid those middle to rear of the field starts.

Pretty abysmal night for me down in D class. Best QT I could manage at Spa was a 2:24 which put me around 7th-10th in most lobbies. Managed to pick off a few places in the races mostly due to people crashing or quitting but still lost DR each time. My QT was more competitive at Laguna but I got tired of being shoved off the track constantly so idk if I'll keep playing that one. I'll try to post some of my gameplay this week if any more experienced players feel like critiquing my driving

Got to say I just love Spa, and despite not having my Fanatec working and using this t300 I’m getting used to it
Got my QT down to 2.17.5xx so it’s getting competitive, I started 3rd traded first place with the pole and second placed starter for 4 laps until I eased ahead and won by 8 tenths!
First win in a while but well chuffed, although at C/B this win propelled me back into B/B and with it my motivation too!
Could be a good weeks running in the end

@brockie Congratulations on your victory. I know how that feels, it feels like making a home run at a baseball game. You show the crowd what you're capable of, sheer wills of steel. Tbh, I'm not a fan of Spa, I hate the last chicane before the finish line. It can kill your lap if you don't use caution during the right/left turn. I'm proud I got 7 wins and I enjoyed every single moment of them. Keep going mate, 
I'll be back soon.
I'll be back soon.

Race A is brilliant. I love the little Scirocco, never really driven it before this week. Can't remember the last time I spent any real amount of time driving an FF car either.
Did a few races yesterday, finished 6th, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, 2nd. Had really good battles in all of them, and not a single idiot was found.
Shame it's not for DR but I don't mind that when it's actually fun!

You got me thinking...I got a bunch of work stuff done early, a 'Spa Day' seems in order...
With you, though, lovin' it. Lack the talent/patience/interest to pilot the Supra but was able to get the 911 into the mid-sixteens so eager to go race for a bit. Lunch hour is looking like it might be better spent driving...food's overrated anyway.🤣
Good luck out there!

I’m abit of a meta follower but as you also know I do like the Porsche too, I just watched tidgney video so I’m going for a 2.16 if I can get there, it should be possible if the stars align etc!
The supra does seem to drive well since the update, because i never used it prior.
But I may have to stick some laps in the Porsche now just in case those 6 tenths are sat there waiting for me 😆
🙏
Edit. Yeehaa jesters dead

Be interested to see what us normal ps5 owners get from this update apart from the cars, but I guess that’s another thread 🤣
someone please explain to me how some bitchass brazillain ****er can ram me off track multiple times in the same race and have his DR go up?
Can we just ban Brazillians and Argentinans from online play already? all of them are **** drivers, all of them suck, all of them are dirty 100% of the time.
idegaf that this is going to be removed by bitchass mods who can't tell their heads from their assholes. **** Brazil, **** Argentina, **** south america. all of them are dogs with fleas.
EDIT: The only way online driving gets better is if we name and shame the assholes who ruin races because they're assholes. I regret sharing a timezone with south america.
