Are there normal human beings with a PS5? Looking at the resell prices on StockX - not so many.

New consoles are a waste of money anyway for me considering the amount of updates needed and the option to go for a better model later on :rolleyes:
 
Done 3 hours of race simulations with different cars for the Nürburgring.

Good news, the car feels okay here. The only dangerous corner is T12 I think. Overall I have no excuses for spining during that round.

Bad news. I'm not fast... not with the Ferrari at least. I can't do better than a 56.5 in that car and most on my laps are low 57. Whereas I'm about half a second faster per lap with the Supra and litterally 1 second per lap with the Lexus (managed a FL of 55.7 and most laps on low 56). At first I though I was just used to the track but turns out I couldn't go as fast on the Ferrari :irked:
 
So I did my first few laps today and - lemme say - it's gonna be interesting :cool:

My tyres are a huge problem, there's a huge cliff effect going at around lap 7 and onwards. It took me many laps to kinda adjust to it since I figured I won't be able to avoid the cliff like at Laguna Seca.
Pace-wise I won't wanan spoil you guys but I can say that I'm nowhere near a "not fast" 1:56.

I'll take some preparation in the tyre department and work on my lines on older tyres. That track certainly does not suit me but I'll fight for every inch, be sure :sly:

Nurburgring is one of those tracks when it comes to tyres. Looking forward to it, as the Evo is really strong here on worn tyres.
 
I'm doing a Saturday morning 1 hour practice session at the Nurburgring if anyone wants to join feel free to.

Room now open:

Hope you are all well :cheers:
