1 x M3 (E36)
1 x 205 GTI

Never binned the motorbikes thankfully…

It’s a very random thing but I went in the guided bus to work for 4 years and commuted to London on the 6:00an trains for about 10 years.

Categorically can say public transport was safer than my driving back then.

"I rolled my first M3"

So how many M3's have you rolled? I heard the bus is quite safe!

Of the 2 M3s

"Categorically can say public transport was safer than my driving back then."

Seems like it still is... 😂 😋

 

[Gurzu]

My left side is type three after rolling my E36 M3 and very poor emergency care, my right is probably type 1/2 but I won’t know till I have the xray or see an osteopath

I have bones poking out of me almost everywhere

I feel for you m8, wish you the best possible recovery.
There's a silver lining at least, nobody can blame the bmx. 😉

Got my S15's Race C QT down to a 2:27.907.

Race 1: Started P1. Had a nice battle with an Aston. Went for the no tires overcut at the end of Lap 7. I exited the pits barely in front of that same Aston. They set themselves up nicely out of the Turn 16 hairpin going into the final chicane. A mistake exiting the final corner cost me another position. Finished P3.

Race 2: Started P1. Got passed by a fast Aston at the end of Lap 2. Went for the new tires overcut at the end of Lap 6 and set a Fastest Lap at the checkered flag, with a 2:29.210. Finished P2.

Race 3: Started P2. Got involved in a multiple car incident up the esses on Lap 3. Did a new tires undercut at the end of the lap. Had a brainfart solo incident going up the esses, bouncing off the curbs and into the walls on Lap 7. Salvaged P9.

Race 4: Started P2. Got a nice launch at the start, took the lead going into the first corner, and never looked back. Did a no tires overcut at the end of Lap 7. Finished P1.

Race 5: Started P4. Traffic was hectic. Went for the no tires undercut at the end of Lap 1. Pace was good, but small mistakes in free air put me out of a potential podium. Finished P6.

Pretty good day! Would've been nice to convert one of my rare pole starts into a win, but them's the breaks. Ah well, got my podiums hat trick and a super rare Fastest Lap, so I got that going for me... which is nice.

Have a good weekend!

I’ve reverted back to racing A because I’ve little interest in B/C

I've stuck with Race A too, despite my misgivings on Monday. I've managed to go the whole week without any wallriding - sometimes it's appeared that I'm the only one not doing it!

What I have found though is that not all the wallriders are that good on the rest of the track, or at racecraft full stop. I haven't managed a win yet, but I had 3 P2s yesterday, and 2 today 😃

I too hope for the best possible recovery.

That said, try one of these. It's how I commute...

Race C really is quite epic. Started 9th in this one, made my way up to finish 2nd. The only thing that was slightly annoying was that the guy who won started 11th!

I've surprisingly found myself living in Race B this week. Something about the Ferrari meta, for one gives us an excuse to use it. It's been a pleasure to drive and I don't usually say that about Group 3's.

I think the main factor was that I quickly peaked in Race A (a sublime combo, IMO), gave Race C a few shots and decided I'm wayyy off the pace in Group 4 when needing a subtle braking technique. With my DR taking a tumble, those wide corner approaches invited far too many dive-bombs and the enjoyment just evaporated.

Nurburgring Sprint hasn't been much cleaner, but my confidence in the car and the short race duration means I don't mind picking myself up and getting back into the race where inevitably others have suffered a similar fate. Mostly I've been climbing from 14th-15th to firmly putting myself in Top 5 contention.

 

[Voodoovaj]

The Lambo is pretty good in Race B as well. I set it up the same as the 458. Still, my only wins have been with the 458.

Bagged myself 2 more. Feels good after a few weeks of struggle

That’s good going mate, it’s a fairly decent track and it’s cleaner than you’d expect it to be considering how tight the corners are etc,

A nice Sunday drive 😁

I do hope race B next week is something I can get my teeth into because I’m just not invested this week

I’d be happy with gr4

Trial mountain reverse
Deep forest reverse
GVH south reverse

Dr Google thinks 2-12 weeks non surgical, but I want to speak to a chiropractor first.

So Dr. Google is as vague as my understanding of what happened to you exactly, probably due to my rudimentary english language skills. So far I've only realized that it has something to do with cars and collarbones😬.

Anyways, I wish you a speedy recovery. And stop rolling cars over. It hurts.

Yes, it's a real rhythm track - get into the rhythm and it's great, get one corner wrong and it messes up the next one too!

The car is lovely to drive too, no nasty surprises with it.

Couldn't keep myself away from more Race C action. Shaved a hair off my S15's QT, with a 2:27.847.

Race 1: Started P4. Gained positions early and walked away from the pack with the lead Aston. Did the no tires overcut at the end of Lap 7. Finished P2.

Race 2: Started P5. Avoided early carnage and took the lead from an Aston on the inside into Turn 6 on Lap 4. Did another no tires overcut at the end of Lap 7. Came out just behind the lead F-type. They mucked the uphill esses, and I squeaked by on the inside of Turn 6. Finished P1.

Race 3: Started P5. Was doing pretty well, up until I bounced off the curbs and into the walls at the final chicane of Lap 7. Limped into the pits for my no tires overcut. Came out behind two cars with no opportunities to pass. Finished P6.

Race 4: Started P8 (after a DNS). Traffic was hectic, so I went for the no tires undercut at the end of Lap 1. Lots of hard but fair racing. Finished P8.

Race 5: Started P3. Almost got wiped out at the Turn 8 hairpin by an Aston. Buckled down and put in a handful of 2:29s. Did the no tires overcut at the end of Lap 7. Finished P3.

Finished the day with another hat trick of podium positions. Or is it trifecta? Whichever. I stood on every step. Forgot to take screenshots from the race results screen, but ah well.

Yamagiwa+Miyabi is awesome, and I can't say enough good things about the S15. She was always in the fight. Good car.

edit:

Sharing the last lap of today's P1, because I had the blinders on and didn't realize how close we all actually were.

 

[Voodoovaj]

I just can't string together a perfect lap, but I did better my time.

 

[radix023]

I wanted to dip my toe back in and give this a try. Had the car in my garage, found a nifty design that didn't violate the rules to pretty up my ride and off we go.

Got ~5 minutes to get a time in, turned 1:29 and change (big meh)

posted 6th of 7th, ended 6th about 10 seconds back, got bump-passed on the last corner, scored a clean race
best lap last lap at 1:28.4
fastest lap was a 1:26 and change

I saved the replay and while it doesn't give you input and driver's instrumentation as previous versions of GT, still worth using to get faster/find where your mistakes are.

I saw it ahead of me on a few laps, but these cheeseballs were wallriding the uphill right, paying the 0.5 sec penalty

Count me unimpressed. Waiting for new events at this point.

I hope this finds you well

I am done for today. Race B is already too chippy, but hey chippy worked out for me today.

On lap two, I pulled up along another Ferrari coming into the chicane at the end of the lap. Block pass. Meh, he decided to turn into me and launch me over the curbs. I expected it, given how we ended up in this situation (I'll say no more), so I had a plan in place. He launched me, I aimed for the escape road on the exit of the chicane, took the lead, and let the chaos unfold behind me . I won by 2 seconds.

EDIT: I think it's a little ironic that I was using my Valentino Rossi/Kessel Racing 458 because Valentino won the 2015 Dutch GP with a similar move

 

[newmedia_dev]

This is one of the best races that have ever happened.

Rossi v Stonner at Laguna

Edit: you’ll have to search it on YouTube because “reasons” apparently.

 

[sturk0167]

For me, this is a new glitch, that I've never seen.
As you can see, I am starting 10th on the grid, but this damn game gave me the view of the pole-sitter.
I didn't know what to do, so I did nothing, and was kicked out of the race.
Any of you seen this before?

Not seen that one before eeek.

Really really hope it’s a good set of races next week now.

It would have been awesome if it gave me control of his car.
That probably would have completely freaked him out.

Did a few races today on my main account, started at C/C with the aim of just staying clean and running my races fair. It was a hard slog 🙈 I have a replay saved but I just don't think it will achieve anything by sharing it. Racing was ****e, just a complete and utter **** show all day. I did get a few wins but it was hard going with very little enjoyment. Anyway, I got back to B/S but it was just a pure miserable experience, bad driving everywhere ,punting was a given in every race. Shame really as Race C is a great track and I enjoyed it 👍

You can do that. When watching the replay, go into replay setting and you can turn on the car info.
