Friday is ok for me as well.
Was good today, I think the rolling starts had less problems with crashing into each other as everyone was a bit more spread out arriving at the first corner.
Really showed the need to understand the cars behaviour so you don't punt someone off the track, moving out of the slipstream was a great tip.
I was asked to clear my cache, what did that do for everyone else, I saw nothing different my end?

I think I was invisible for you in the first race because you passed me in ways it clearly showed I wasn't there for you.
Skip to 16min and 16'55 in this Livestream video and you'll see what I mean. 
After clearing your cache it seemed to have fixed that.

Yeah, these cars especially. If I'm drafting somebody I like to just drift out to the side of them so I can spot the braking zone then just slot back in behind them as we both brake (or go for an over-take down the in-side..). You just have to see what works for you.
In slower cars you don't really need to do this as much. Just braking a bit earlier and then you may even get a better exit out of the corner than the guy in front of you.
Each week you'll get more comfortable following somebody. I know for me, taking part most weeks, I've gotten more confident in my ability at sticking quite close to peoples cars with very little bumps (they still happen every now and then but nothing serious). Which makes for some great racing 👍

Daniel, looking at the laptimes in the results from the race, I think you can function as an instructor on this one.

if you think that would be ok, of course. It would be nice to give something back to the community 👍

I'm totally down for this combo, GT500 at Suzuka =

Have a lot of experience running the car so I hope I can be of some good help if I can make it. I may have a busy day but I'll try and drop by. Rating my chances of showing up at 50%.
Cheers.
