I genuinely don't think I have much left in the tank to improve on this now. It's absolutely full on my concentrating to my max.

That said it's a bloody solid time and leaderboard position. Definitely punching above my weight for my ability!

I had it all planned to give the day at it and then we had a bad storm last night, have been without power since 1am 🙈🙈 Not ideal...even less ideal with a 5 month old child too 🤣
 
How the other half live mate 😁

I guess being only 9 tenths off your time is good going for my ability level 👊

Annoyed they ruined next weeks race reveal day 🤨
Mate even with that time I still start 6-9th 🤣

It's all bloody relative!

Yeah me too, I did some mild poking around this afternoon I think they made some changes the payload of the API so the structure has changed and also some of the ids they use internally.

Found some cool stuff, not massively useful but they track a lot more than they show us, some pretty deep things.

Thinking of you bro 👊

Ireland took it real bad and Scotland too

Stay safe
 
@TechnoIsLove there is an interesting attribute/value in the payload for daily/season/TT races

It's about where the penalty line should be and I can't see this weeks but it's on a scale that looks to be roughly 1-5 (possibly 0-5)

The reason this is interesting is that these can be dynamically updated.

Tin foil hat on....

Makes you wonder if they set them to the most tolerant first thing, look at some of the track limit p takes and then adjust. Would explain why we can't seemingly sometimes take the same lines. It also gives them options in between the custom race settings we can set. 🤔

Edit:

This parameter and our actual data would be extremely useful in developing Sophy showing it how we drive and what the track is and what limits it should adhere to to go fast or slow. We use looser track limits to subjectively go faster, flip that on its head and you can teach Sophy to go faster in tighter boundaries.

But you have to see what it is for what it is.

None of the fast/good/decent streamers do it, none of the fast silent leaderboard assassins do it, it's the sort of people I'm moaning about and Gurzu posted a video about. These are people that don't want to race or be the best, they want to win and more worryingly they don't care as much as we do.

No game or competitive sport is immune to this sort of stuff, and it's easy to lay blame at PD but it's not their fault people act like cock wombles, not saying in doesn't need a lot of improvement but it's the cock wombles that are more of a problem than the penalties and I'm a massive penalty moaner!
I'm enjoying the carts, they are a right laugh!

I know but deep deep down, these things were fun when I was younger. Now my time is limited they offer very little than novelty. I did 3 years of running pro kart endurance and it's fairly thankless. My time is focused on living the 45 year old Glen which is race or road cars.

I don't think I could comfortably get in to a cart these days but I do get the fun. Just I need to find mine away from them
 
@brockie ...above my main but still just below my alt Father_Dougal80 😋😋. I gave up on trying to improve, power returned at 8pm so I just decided to race instead. Will post a video in the morning. (its uploading to YouTube but our broadband is still on a go slow due to the weather) Some of these races just go the strangest ways 🤣
