I wonder how I feel about new Gr 1 challenge...
It took me literally 180 km to set 1 (one) valid lap... So I am divided between.."I don't want to play with you anymore" and " maybe it will grow on me to like it" (I drove Dodge and didn't like it at all from start but now I kinda start learning how to shift weight and when and how not to oversteer)
Anyhow... For now, a banker it is and we'll see later... 😁

Haven't been playing much lately. Usually just one session or so to get a gold time. A bit of a struggle with the viper. My reliance on TCS is hold me back but keeping me from spinning.
Off to LeMans. Optimals showingsub 29 but I only had 2-3 non-red laps.

Not much issues doing valid laps at the new TT, more issues figuring braking points and not butchering 1/2 turns (and alternating between laps, otherwise it would no be funny).
Optimal is not realistic, given that I am fully able to win and loose 1s in the same sector.
Need to work on it, but I find this TT relaxing and fun compared to the Vulcan one and the Viper one.
Maybe I'll get up to silver but not much more.

G29 back alive and me back on track
I did only 30min with pad and another 30min with wheel here, so there is maybe some more, but not too much, I guess.
After my (luckily) short transfer to pad and back to wheel my short list comparison is
1) counter steer: definitely easier with pad, by far. I was able to be much more aggressive on the throttle
2) medium fast corner: easier on pad, somehow the steering angle vs stick movement is filtered and speed dependent, and for this kind of turns it makes life easier
3) throttle: quite the same, I adapted quite quickly, even at tc0
4) steering precision: somehow connects with 2) that filtering sometimes helps, sometimes confuses me. So on the average turn wheel is much more trusty, not to mention force feedback
5) trail braking: I'm still a noob here even in wheel. In pad is really really hard to manage. Sure practice helps, but I would need ton of practice here
Additional bullet, and possibly by far the worst in pad lapping: man, after 30 min the back of left hand hurts a lot. Not the finger, the top of the hand! Don't know if it makes sense, but it is what happens to me.
So, even though gt7 is very enjoyable with pad, I'm glad the g29 is back with me

155 miles and one fast lap on the board. Holy understeer. Probably won't touch this one again. Happy lapping folks!

Jeez...2.5% will get you into the top 300? This one sounds difficult!

Look at these gaps: the 6th is +1 sec...
So yes, this one is difficult, for sure but I can't wait to see your score here!!
