Epic combo. Feeling right at home with my favourite GT3 at my favourite real circuit. Simply, simply lovely.

Yeah nothing I was doing was working! LOL Going to try it again in VR. That was a quick try on flat screen and I couldn't seem to do anything to get the car to rotate without loosing time. I think I'm still braking too late in a lot of corners.

I remoted myself into gold with my little black Swan 😂
I didn't find a RCZ in the top 100 so went for that 😂
Not a bad start, altho with the shadows on Au Rouge it's mega hard on remote.....no lift like 2/10 hard 😂
Fun challenge avoiding them bollards tho 🙈😂

Finally got a 2:16... jumped back on after work and was not leaving before I got a 16! Was on for a 16.6 twice but decided to bin it on the fast right after sector 2 every time, very frustrating! Still 3/4 tenths in my lap but not sure I'll keep going will see. I enjoy the Audi R8 though reminds me of the old days competing at live events!

I was determined to get a 3:40.xxx last night then realized I could probably do a high 3:39.xxx but ran out of time and energy!
No aids, weak ABS, PSVR2, and wheel. Best optimal was a 3:40.5xx in session before this and I messed up a couple corners a little bit.
Still pretty happy with this lap, but gave up 2 tenths in sector 6.

Hmmm....I would love to say that I can get into 2:17s, but I'm not too sure.

That was a stonkin' lap. Well done! The NSX looks far more planted than the R8. May need to give it a go!

Did a couple of laps with a few cars. So far the Audi fits best. Have more to try.

I chose the '00 NSX with my first go at Spa. I could've have been in the 18's with one less mistake. I'll give the R8 a try tomorrow.

Meh....threw away a 2:18.2s at the very last corner. I was too greedy with the throttle and spun 🫠
Managed a .5s a few laps later so at less some gain.

Fastest time in the Jaaaag
Fastest time in the Mercedes
I almost managed a 2:18.9 in the Mercedes but I stuffed it on the last corner. The Jag isn't a bad car to drive but it isn't quite as stable as the Mercedes. The Mercedes takes a speed penalty on the Kemmel Straight but the more refined aero package allows it to corner faster. This very much instills the confidence necessary to push the car and get better lap times. I will be having another go to see how far I can get into the 18's.

Inspired by evil baked goods I decided to give the NSX a try and found another 0.2! Not entirely sure that I can manage a sub 19 but we will try again soon. I can't say I prefer the drive over the R8 as it feels a bit more understeer-y.
Has anyone tried any of the older GT3s yet? ...the 458, Vantage, and SLS...

So many cars that work well here. Really sweet that you don't have to use one car and can get into gold with many different ones.
Did a few laps with the BMW M3 from 2011 but that was nothing.
The Renault R.S.01 is great and I felt really fast but was a second slower then my pb 😂
Next was the Lambo which I absolutly love and improved by .2s.
Tried the Audi for the last laps one more time and improved a little bit more 😅 First below 2:20.xxx

Ok, so gave this a go last night. I only had 20 mins to spare. Struggling in the 2:21's in the GTR, and then on my very last lap before I had to go out it all came together for a 2:19.8. I have a little more time to be found, but that is gold at least. I Might try some other cars.

Well first session on the TV this mornng, no miracle laps due to changing a lot of cars,
I found the NSX not realy suitable for my driving style, don't know what it is but it seems lacking a bit of downforce on the higher speed turns and realy had trouble getting it rotated, think i have to get to know that car a bit, so more miles needed in that..
The R8 EVO, what can i say.., that straightpiped sound it makes when coasting and holding a lower RPM is mega, what a sound, love it!
It's definately more lively thatn the NSX, rotates better but for me it's a bit wobbely, a bit floating in mid corner when lifting off so could not realy get the hang of it in a few laps, sounds fast and seems to be too
The RCZ, planted like crazy and very predictable, i'm going to invastigate it a little more.
RSR..yes!.... always liked it, if you can manage the understeer and get get it rotated it's fire, realy good to manage in 1th gear
i had time to run a few laps with it and immidiatey shaved off some time..
Major code brown on exit Stavelot so should be not that hard to get into the 18's in the next few days.... i hope...

@Gomario JSP thanks for the infos on those cars, it could be helpful to target the next one I'll try.

Another 8 or so laps tonight and I’m down into the 2.23s for silver but man the car wants to push that front pretty hard… will not hold a line for me. Can’t take the first chicane flat without running off limits.
Another noob question… how are you taking the screen grabs ? The videos I can see, but where is the screen cap option?

Share/Create button on your PS gamepad. On the left side of touchpad. It can be set to couple of operating modes and allows saving screenshots and videos of recent gameplay. Useful link below.

You've inspired me to pull my RCZ out of the garage, finish up the livery I started a while back, and take it out to the track! Tonight's GT time has a plan now...
EDIT: Work in progress...

Ahuh!
Ok jumped back in just to try out the screen cap thing (thanks Krazislaw) and did drop my pb by a few tenths. Invalidated two good laps in the run by cutting the last corner a little too much which annoyed me.
But a 22 is just around the corner as consistency starts coming. Gotta get a feel for braking on curbs and work on my transitions. Still getting used to load cell pedal that seems very stiff…
