My new power cable will be arriving on the 20th, for my T598. It sustained a common failure due to a design flaw in the cable.

Hope y'all have been well!

🤬 i wrote in the mail to Thrustmaster "not before 23rd". 🙂

Ok so... i have heard the Daytona TT is great. 👍😂

Everything fine here, nine days of work left until ski holidays in Italy. 😁

Got a new optimal of 2:01.7xx but can't put it together on the same lap. :banghead:

Edit: Just did a PB of 2:02.067.
Edit: 2:02.050

well I see the top time dropped over night so I guess I'm going to have to go in for more pain at Daytona! :irked:

Can't you aliens ever give it a rest?! Does it always have to be like this!??

Peugeot or Genesis, I don't know which one to use, reading above posts...

I tried the Peugot for a bit but I'm so far off that it'd be like starting over again and I'd rather just fight for a couple tenths in the annoying Genesis.

Top time with the Lexus has dropped aswell. 🤭

🥳🥳🥳

Very happy to get P1, not very happy with the lap. 😂

Had a much better sector 1 than on my previous best (-0,128s), than lost a bit through sector 2, still -0,052s infront of my old record.
Sector 3 was the woerst part of this lap, so i was even falling behind my previous best (+0,058s), but the final sector was very good again and safed me the small improvement (-0,018s) and 2 places. 😁

New ghost for me to chase too

Tried the Peugeot (after the 919). For once a VGT where you see outside in VR ! Citroen by comparison is like driving in a mailbox. (919 is not a VGT but between the wheel arches and the things on the windshield, visibility is bad).

I find the Peugeot easy to drive, now I need to get some speed. Got bronze relatively easily (lap 2) while with the 919 I was +1s above bronze on lap 2.

to gold with the Peugeot at Daytona. Only 2 laps of initial testing + 10 laps tonight, so gold should be possible, even if my very close lap was quite a lucky one.
