I am having a heck of a time with the car setup. I can't get any speed out of the car. I hope that my lap times are competitive come Saturday
*initiate rage mode*
Not quite, more nervous wreck mode. I might be trying too hard though. Maybe the setup's closer than it is far away. 💡
Me no speak in riddle. Me drive car. Me no waste time tuning. Me drive. Me get mad when driving, me go even faster. 👍
And, a translation into modern, less sarcastic English: I think you should just try to drive the car. Then, when you realize that your lap times aren't at the target lap times Anthony set for you, get mad. You'll either drop a second (like me, at Monza) or spin out (like me, at Fuji.)
I can't drive when I am mad. I was "in the zone" on the restart at Fuji. That caught me up to Ant, but I spun because I was so "in the zone" I failed to check my tires
Happened to me, too, but, it brought out the caution. I was in the zone, but still getting nowhere, so I pushed even harder.
Remember how fast the Mazda is over everything in straights and what Monza is mainly made of..
You had the fastest lap in that race for GT with a 1:48.4, I had a 1:48.7.... god know's how, my car structurally was mangled. If I didn't need a chasis restoration before the crash, I definitely needed one after.But, I improved on my own lap times. I didn't improve on anyone else's laps. Well, I did...
If I'm mad when driving, I want to take someone out. I honestly don't understand how being angry makes you faster. It just fills your mind with hate and then you make a mistake. No focus at all.
Although, I was mad at Tokyo with Damu, and I caught up to him easily. It also happened to me in the F10 series, I was blocked and punted off the track and I closed down a 5 second gap within 6 corners at Sarthe. End result - I was so mad I made mistakes and spun. I think it's better to be calm, controlled, and smooth, rather than aggressive and reckless.
That's what I tried in Fuji. I'm also going to try that from now on. Maybe your tires go because of your driving style and tendency to attack the kerbs?
right well im make the decision to drop out till next season and practice more ill be back and im sorry to have messed anybody up

polarbear345My first thoughts too....
james6653That's not me just so you guys know that is not me.
polarbear345We know, whiskey was at ITCC and Mel was backing him up.
Unless you guys are BFFs now... We know it isn't you. Lol!
james6653Ok just thought I would clear that up.
polarbear345Yea, the run on sentence with no caps or punctuation gave us all flash backs!
You have been better with that though 👍

Wait, what? Would this not make me and James the same person? (Oh, and the improper order of the grammatical conjunction connecting the two names was intentional, if you understand.)
And damu fails to make sense before 18:00.
