I really really can't put my finger on it but it seems like I'm really struggling to adjust to these new physics and definitely can't find the pace I had pre-update, but I'm honestly not sure where either in Gr4 or Gr3

Maybe everyone else just got better and I got left behind even @TechnoIsLove is a lot faster than me joking I love you mate.

Enough for the afternoon, have to mind the young fella for a while and then try and sleep for a couple of hours before work. Been a good afternoon. Back to B/S. 4 races and 4 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆. One was my final C/S race the other 3 at B. Smallest winning margin was 7 seconds and my fastest race lap is down to a 1:57.09 which I reckon is good going 👍
Improved my QT to:

Am so close to that 100 now 🤣🤣🤣 maybe tomorrow🤞

A clean sweep in my final race of the day...see you all tomorrow 👍👍

Well racing from the back is not an option anymore for Race A. The difference in speed between people is XL and got caught by people braking instead of lifting. One of them is on route to a lap around the moon. SR took a hit.

So racing with a dummy QT of 1.23 and start around top 5. The race where I could go against @Voodoovaj was the best I had. 3 way fight, did consistent lap, no mistake, it was amazing. Rest of the day is the opposite.

Was trying to not drive the meta but had to in order to advance in the qualy time! Did one race today and starting in P14 (before new time) and had people even in the 2:08's lol...



Was great fun though and just did a few laps in Alfa so confident I can find some more time

I must have just missed you, those driver you had there on the grid was the same folks I raced at about 20:00 CET. Raced twice today, finished if not last so second to last every time....

For qualy, try the GT-R, put all the brakes to the back. It's a monster! Maybe not 2:08's, but close.

Hi guys, first day of practice at Suzuka. Feeling good in the Alfa with a 2:09.655 always taking it easy at first corner (it helps to build consistance), but not anymore at last chicane. To break the '09 barrier is now the weekly target, but for racing I'll be ok when consistent on a low '09.

I've been in the game for quite a while, and have seen a bunch of glitched starts, but I haven't seen this before.
I started off at full-throttle before the timer even started counting down.
This is the view I had, in real time. I wasn't sure what to do.


I won it.

Had the weirdest start of a group B race today.
Was 11th or so in the grid, and in the pre-start phase, #9 & #10 on the grid hopped more than usually, then stopped dead around 3 seconds before the audio counter started, so around 5 secs before the race started....
Everyone behind them then stopped as well when they reached the position where they stopped one by one, so when the race started, the 6 of us just stood there, then started driving a few hundred meters behind the grid #1-#8, as they kept driving to the start line as usual for the rolling start.
Very odd...

I'm not sure if it's me still adjusting to a wheel or the new physics but I did find, last night, that in slow corners I found it faster to brake earlier and coast through the corner. The car rotated better and saved time over me dragging/diving for the apex which I guess is a sort of form of trail braking.

Specifically I am referring to the super tight left hander at Barcelona at the end of the back straight.

For me personally I got so deflated the last couple of weeks I actually sat and watched a few tutorials on YouTube from the likes of Digit and Doughnaitor, specifically around the area of trail braking and setting up my wheel properly. Can honestly say that it's beginning to show results now. I actually softened my brake pedal spring to help with this and it's made a massive difference to me. I'm not there yet but I am heading in the right direction now and I have far more confidence and that in turn makes me less prone to throwing my toys out of the pram when things are not going well. I have found myself much less inclined to rage quit these last 2 weeks and that can only be a good thing 👍 I have found the cars to be a bit more 'compliant' since the update but I still struggle with the Gr3 lambo without TC, I can manage nearly all the rest without it after some practice

Not going to lie, I was expecting Race A to be a nightmare but have had some pretty enjoyable races.

If anything, Race C has been a bit of a ram fest, which is particularly odd given it's a 9 lap race with the opportunity to pit and get out of traffic.
