Spa with weather and I am on holiday :( will tell my wife to fly back tomorrow!

Jokes aside, this means I need to wait 3 month again until we get another one with dynamic weather
 
Will probably spend most of my time rebuilding SR in Race B.

Race A: NSX Type R - 2:06.494 QT Spent an embarrassing amount of time not being able to find the NSX on the car selection screen, because I had gotten so used to it being blue. 😤 😅

Race B: NSX Gr.4 - 1:38.554 QT It's still early, but I thought I'd be quicker.

Race C: NSX Gr.3 - 2:19. 509 QT Stuff like this happening every now and again does not inspire confidence:

Happens a few times every Spa day. 😑

Keep cracking on mate, I think I can match my B time in the NSX so you have loads of time to gain.

Race A I'll be faster than my Porsche time in the beemer but what's the fun in that.

I'm bored of spa and I can't do 1 hour races so not my thing but id personally be aiming for a 2.16/2.17 as a minimum and that's just carrying more coasting speed and nailing the 2 straights.
 
I tried Spa, knowing I'm not very good with this track. Managed an 8th place and started off well, until the other drivers decided I was the punch bag for the race and knocked me down to 13th. Spent the race fighting to get back to an eventual 9th. Maybe I'm just tired from the day but that was too long a race for me. Might try again tomorrow and then leave it alone.
 
ok after morning fuel disaster got back in and got very wet conditions from lap5 went for IM but that was id hard with the Genesis lap 12 changed to wet and made up some time ...lesson 2 today use wets 😅 had to stop these long sessions in VR are ...🤕View attachment 1409823
I never got the chance to try the Genesis with either wet tyre. Got to the pit entrance just at the right time, as it started to rain heavily - followed a guy in and he spinned the car right in the entrance to the pit, and got stuck wedged between the walls!

I couldn't go anywhere, next thing I knew I was exited from the race, presumably from being stationary too long ☹️

It was a real shame, as a good few had already set off on another lap on dry tyres - no doubt they were in for a lap of many off track excursions.....
 
Today my DAILY RACE C was really good and good result overall, I bought the LEXUS RC F GT3 17 racecar. as I thoguth the GT500 version was the same. I got the ANEST IWATA racing version livery like I think Igor uses in the real series.

Had good qualfiying test runs, and started the race in 10th place. Pushed off the rolling start strong and drove very hard and pushing the Lexus to catch the many Porsches and Genesis' gaining up to 6th place. It was a bit chaotic first few laps, but I tried to stay consistent and move very fast thru the corners at Spa. By Lap 4 I was 6th place and the car was very quick not losing too much tyre wear. I really try to be careful also with fuel consumption.

Had a nice battle with a AMG GT3 Cypriot racer, but he did bump me on the last corner on Lap 6 and I spun but he stopped to allow me to recover and carry on. So I had to claw back to 5th place as a MClaren captilized on my postion. But after a few aps he then pitted it and I passed the AMG and keep going. RM Tyres was degrading but I held my positions.

Races in positon 1st and 2nd pitted but I kept going and gained pole positon, and tried to gain 9-10secs on them, but they caught up as I pitted on lap 11. Dropping down to 4th I then kept pushing and fighting a brit in a M6 GT3 endurance to gain back 5th, but i pushed and got past two positons and acheiveda solid 3rd place and podium!

A very good race ay Spa and kept it competitive and clean as possible could be. The Lexus is quick but needs pushing to hold it for the whole race, but was very fun!
