I need to jump in again with a little bit of offtopic, sorry guys
The new GT3 Endurance wheel arrived, so I decided to try and create some sort of an unboxing video for the first time, if you're interested you can check it out
@330_D I know you are waiting for details and impressions, all I have to say is - buy it! Quality is on a whole different level compared to ClubSport line, buttons, shifters, everything. The rim itself is amazing, 318mm, just as it should be, this material is grippy as hell, bare hands or gloves, no matter, it's literally perfect, I can't wait to have a proper session with it
I'm stoked for you! I'm a little broke with the holiday around the corner but this will certainly be high on the list. Appreciate the unboxing and your opinion, sir!

The Red Bull Jr is such a nicer drive than its...dad? Big brother? Anyway, just like Goodwood, the final chicane at Catalunya is a major pain. And similarly, it ruins two laps. Then you've got the track limits everywhere else. Fun fact: I had 13 straight invalidated laps before my best tonight. What fun! 
My optimal was two tenths faster, but I can't string together every sector on the same lap to save my life.

Hello there!
How do you say "this track sucks" in Spanish? 😅
That's my first and only session in this TT, I'm not coming back to it.
I hope my time holds up for gold.

He showed only 2024. The Spa one was Aug 2023. We also had this one. Might be more, I just woke up. 🫥

Leave me alone.
And for the record, I don't "dodge" gold medals. I just don't see it being necessary to post every time I achieve it, since it's not much of an achievement for me. Especially when 99% of the time I do the bare minimum to get gold.
As for you, Fernando, you will have to get back in there and improve if you want to get back to Top 100.

Mornings folks,
Ofcourse i did a session on Catalunya on the TV as i mentioned yesterday, was a lot better.
Two major problems on this combo though...( for me )
Transition from T7 to T8 is a mistery for me and kind of a lotery on hitting it the right way, most of the time while pushing i'll tankslap to Barry and when it does there is nothing you can do about it,
And ofcourse due to the lack of downforce on the slower parts of the track the chicane is quite difficult to nail.
The good thing about the junior is that it makes a lot of noise but lacks the speed so the brakes are good
Multiple times two tenths up after T13 but jumped the first sausage or let the car die in T15..
@TumeK5 ... and Top Dog ?

New test today in Catalunya :
whether it's the eldest Red Bull or the junior, they are really 2 exciting cars... very strong ground support, super fast gear changes, and above all brakes that work and what's more, a pfffff engine noise ...
For this second session and the first of the day, I was able to improve my time to 1'46'290.

Your memory is fine. That list was a 2024 reference (Time Trial Event >=60). There were 6 Red Bull events in the first 59 time trials(4,13,24,34,37,45).

The Klam is right. I went from never golding a TT a year and a half ago to being able to gold nearly every single since. Even had a few top 100 finishes. I still feel like an imposter, but the numbers don't lie. This place is a snake pit of some of the legit fastest drivers in this game, and the best part is they are here not only for the bragging rights but to help others as well. It's a pretty unique place and one of the best on the Internet.Well, you are at right place that makes people faster, so if you want help, you know what to do
That said, I appreciate all of you who contribute here. This little weird place is a pretty amazing.
Cheers all, and as always, happy lapping 🖖
