And now for something completely different.
I thought I'd paste the 54 car and track combinations we've had so far into a word cloud generator. I cheated a bit by taking out variations (for the 'ring for example, removing Nordschleife, 24h, GP) and removing 'autodromo', 'circuit' etc. from names.
The second chicane I have no idea how people get through there at around 130mph. I watched several videos in super slow motion but when I try to replicate it, even with braking much earlier, I just cannot get through the right hander more than 1 in 20 times. The guy who was second last night - he is 4th now - Busi, does not even do the grass-cutting move. He somehow brakes a little AFTER leaving the kerb leading into the chicane, drops to 4th, casually turn left nowhere near the grass, then right nowhere near the grass and powers out with room to spare on the left, all while not dropping below I think 129mph. Usually I can watch the top people and at least understand and replicate what they do, even though I'd do it 1 or 2% slower. But that chicane has me stumped.
I think I'll stick with Watkins Glen and might then return to Kyoto if the next one is a bore. Anyway, we have to save our energy for the Kaz Christmas bonus; Nürburgring Nordschleife in the rain in the Tomahawk on Comfort Hard tyres. With tuning allowed.

You're welcome.Thanks a bunch!
It is no walk in the park with a wheel. I get through the first chicane maybe 1 out of 6 times (none the first 20 or so goes - had to go back to watch what Kie and Tidgney did) and that is with lifting a bit before Kie or Tidgney lift. At least there I know what to do; I understand the lift and turn-in point, and that there is then a bounce off the kerb lottery. Doesn't mean it is easy, but I understand it.It simply isn't doable with controller.
