Thanks for joining last night guys.
First lobby was a mess, totalrose was stuck on the grid, I was gonna restart, and then I was told to keep an eye on 3/4 guys playing wreckfest at the back, eventually backed out the room by accident, so we set up another, it went a lot better.
Not a great fan of Fuji, and it showed in my driving last night. Off the pace, just a little.

@skivit76 @Totalrose @Bivittavus88 Thank you guys 
. 41.066(?) was my best but my racing laps were only 42.3xx-42.5xx 
. @Bivittavus88 I hope I was fair at the second race. I thought you'll easily pass me but you didn't.

@skivit76 @Totalrose @Bivittavus88 Thank you guys
I did see opportunities to pass. But, wasn't sure I'd make it clean, so hung back. Then I ended up backwards a couple of times . .

Most of the times I race in "clear" tracks - cars seconds ahead or behind me - so I have much to learn to look out for the other/faster drivers and not to blow them into oblivion with my first move
. These sessions are great opportunities .

A series like this should be the perfect place to get more experience with it. The main thing to remember around faster drivers, is to just hold your line. Don't do anything eratic. They'll get past you when it's safe to do so.
As long as you're not moving across the track to block them, it's all good.
Edit. @paoloevans are we still good to play around with car selection until we're in the quali lobby?

Absolutely spot on, nothing more scary than approaching lapped traffic to find them moving all over the place, unless you make it super obvious that your letting someone by, i.e. Using the indicators and moving over on a straight just drive your normal lines and the faster car will get by of its own accord

@Bivittavus88 @HoonigaN96 👍. Yep.
At Autopolis after a pit(?) @Standard_FV (EVO?) came back behind me. After the first corner I slowed down and I let him go. No matter what, sooner or later a faster player will overtake me, no use of trashing his race with a foolish and useless move.
In the lobby games the lapped player become a ghost? I drive from the bumper cam and I'm not sure about this - ghosting or not I pulled over at Autoplis .

Actually i didnt go that fast haha. I did a 38.7 in qualy and a 38.9 in the race. However, in the timetrial mode where theres more grip and no extra weight due to the fuel ive done a 37.7 and that can still be improoved.I made a short test run (@PTLobo2 and @JoeyLeonine jumped in) and it was fun.

@Kuraudo I think I remember you moving to the outside, lifting the throttle and letting me pass, very kind of you, sadly I had already spun and destroyed my race earlier.
@paoloevans I'm 99% sure I can race at Fuji, so if any of the 16 will miss it I would like to take their place. I have to get more practice this time, will be looking out for these practice lobbies!

I'm not going to be able to keep up with the likes of @HoonigaN96 but, I am pretty strong at Fuji.
I also can't be counted for the Gentleman's Cup.

👍 being consistent is the next challenge.

That's the best way to do it, find 2-3 tenths, then practice doing that consistently, then find another 2-3 tenths, and so on

Congratulations mate
! Strange. I'm getting slower after every practice run
. I can barely make under 42 for a while . Maybe I'll have to change my livery...💡Similar threads
