Sardegna..... My word.

Fun and frustrating.

One race I started on pole - finished 3rd, no issues at all as my race pace is nowhere near as good as my qualy pace.

Races I started 4th and 5th were an absolute shambles - first corner madness, cars hitting barriers and bouncing back into you, cars trying to go side by side when they really shouldn't etc....! But I shall continue as the fun outweighs the bad I think?
 
Hello! 🥳 It's been a while lol... Needed to take a break as was spending a bit too much of my free time (as little as I have nowadays) on the game and was ignoring more important things.. Oops 😂 And also didn't like the selection for the past weeks either!

Happened to be off today and saw my old friend Dragon Trail on Race B so had to take a look 😉 Did a semi-decent lap time before my first race in ages (1:46:3) which was good enough for a P8 start in a Lambo-fest, which I was a part of lol.

Sketch start as I was giving space and not being aggressive vs P7 ahead, even though he was making a lot of mistakes! I then tried to go past (which I was doing) in the chicane after Sector 1 but he tried to nudge me off a few times and almost succeeded! Hadn't it been for lucky contact with a different car going past, I would have been done for as it set my car straight again!

Anyhoo, was down to P9 but I like this track and car so knew I could regain positions if I just keep cool and in Lap 2 exactly that happened! Between crashed (also involving same donkey from lap 1) and an opportunistic overtake, I finished in P6 and happy with race one 😎

Got to say the Gr.3 on RM/RS at Sardegna A Reverse would tempt me back to sport as I like that layout and combo. However I pulled my back muscles moving furniture over the weekend (so nothing exciting) so I can only do easy driving for now - nothing competitive! Also I am temporarily back to flatscreen and not VR so that is less fun and slower as well.

Have fun racing. I'll continue to lurk..

Welcome back and awesome vid 😁

Well held onto at the top of the hill where it got a bit sweaty first lap, I’m finding that left turn before the esses the huracan just slides coming off the brakes so I’ll try the g70 tomorrow

I tried the huracan myself today, 1.48.2xx - I do like racing this track, it’s cool
 
Just did my first race, the Lambo is fairly awkward in VR for visibility as it doesn't have a review mirror or camera.


A lot of the tricky corners are much much easier in VR but the chicane of death is not one of them, that curb on the right hand side is a freaking lottery ticket!

I set a QT time which I was a little disappointed with but it was faster than @TechnoIsLove so that makes me happy ;)

The race was fine p6 to p5 some quick guys up the front so not fighting them.

Overall the past week has been very good to me, I had been running Race C and not Qual in 2 of my 3 accounts and in all three I now am DR B from mid C. All it took was patience, determination, TC4 with RM & TC3 with RS tyres, and some skill to avoid being taken out of play by some shifty drivers that believe it's OK to bump and run...
 
[Plenty of good racing this week. Like most of you guys I did not show myself in Race C.

Split between A and B and they are both lots of fun and the racing is great. Even saw Itsnotglenn in my room.

I one Race A, I got ping pong between two cars for what feel way to long. Tried to stay straight and not take out anyone.



I one Race B, there is big take out right in front of me and I genuinely laugh at it. 2 sec later, the same thing happens to me.




Plenty of fun at Kyoto, love the track and the racing there. Also got a nice photo finish.

This week races are fire. I will races all of them! See you on the track.
 
I was doing pretty well at race B, considering I started 15th, with no Q time.
I got my Ferrari up to 7th with only one turn left to go.
The Lambo decided to use me up, so he wouldn't have to lift.


A couple of years ago, I would have gone nuts, and threatened him in the post-race chat.
Today, I just shrugged my shoulders and thought "Oh well. This one just didn't work out. Hopefully, the next one is good".
Maybe this is what they're talking about in the TV ads when refer to losing your testosterone. :confused:

Sorry mate I was wiping the VR goggles and missed saying hello!
 
I still maintain my opinion that Tsukuba is either best for time trials, drifting, or races involving cars with no more than 200 HP. Meanwhile, having a race there featuring not only the FD RX-7, but a heavily-tuned one from RE-Amemiya is certainly a combination. It's a shame because if it were almost any other circuit, I would've loved trying this car out. (Though maybe there's a point, since there's the real-world time trials at Tsukuba, and I think the RE-Amemiya RX-7 was made exactly for time attack.)

I think the biggest issue is that those sorts of cars/races really handicap anyone who uses Automatic Transmission, as to get the time from it and in some degree of control you need to be in control of which cog you want for short shifting or holding it at the limiter which those players won't be able to.

Same thing with the radical and the double shifting etc
 
Finding the Ferrari and Nissan GTR fairly stable in race B, just cant seem to keep the lambo planted, especially through the chicane - need to hold on and try that bad boy flat out

Those 1.46s you boys are sporting is impressive, maybe when my fanatec is delivered I’ll be back to getting a little more time on the boards

I do like this track though, could have done with some better tyres, not sure why we ever bother with hards tbh 😁
 
Freed up some time to try and whittle down a QT or two last night. Only succeeded in improving Race B's, with a messy 1:47.999 in the NSX Gr.4. There's at least half a second there from me tiptoeing through the chicanes and being inconsistent through the final corner. 😤

I tried a few laps with it last night but I'm very rusty, I really like it but I cannot seem to get the brake balance right, any suggestions? I'm home alone tonight with no baby so I should be able to get some good practice in. I also tried the GTR, felt really good but lap times didn't reflect it. The Lambo is good but again I'm struggling with braking. I just don't have as much time these days and it's showing 🙈🙈 saying that, the megane around goodwood is great, I definitely can get to 1.24's with a few more laps
