That was a great race. Shame about PDs lag servers, but I would say it's successful test of what we want for an event or series
I think all of us except maybe Sweeney had a trip to the beach at some point during the raceBesides the lag, that was absolutely fabulous. Some tight battles, some paint scratches, lots of nerve-wracking fun.
Thanks again Grandpa for the event, thanks to everyone for the fun race. A MiTo cup series would be awesome.
Edit: the picture of me in the gravel is of course embarrassing... 🤣
I wonder how this jumping right and left because of the lag issues looked from his perpective?I think all of us except maybe Sweeney had a trip to the beach at some point during the race
That's interesting. I noticed Sweeney in the race, and DelboyD a little bit, but not much else. Watching the replay, my ride looks completely smooth, without any issues, Sweeney is jumping around wildly, phreelickz and DelboyD a bit. So it seems inconsistent what you see in the race compared what the others see, and also compared to the replay? I hope that gets sorted out somehow...There where several, if not all of us jumping around. You did it from the very beginning in the server but it was less later on.
I think I held you up quite a bit on the first stint, although I thought had a good pace for my humble standards.Anyway, as for the race itself it was a really fun combo. Lago Maggiore is fast becoming one of my favourite short-track variants in GT7. It was a lot of fun with the S15 Silvia when that was a Daily A combo several weeks ago, ideal for road cars really. The Mito is a blast, bags of grip with a lot of adjustability in the corners with lift-off oversteer. And with the anti-lag it becomes a raspy little flamethrower off throttle .
Oh not at all, I was pushing as fast as I could in the first stint, but I could not find a way past so fair play to yourself .I think I held you up quite a bit on the first stint, although I thought had a good pace for my humble standards.
My feeling was that I did corners 1 and 2 quite well (did I?), the hairpin was hit or miss, and botched the corner exit out of banky boy most of the time (it can't be that tiny little car providing so much slipstream that everybody caught up on me on the uphill section )

You had Turns 1 and 2 sorted very nicely, as that was where I was losing any time I gained on you early on. It wasn't until after my pitstop that started to find a rhythm myself. It took me a while to sort my braking points into T1 and the hairpin, as I was pretty sloppy in the first stint.
So we can sum it up like this: In a Modified MiTo a Koncentrated Kowalski is barely as fast as a Sloppy Sweeney 🤣
It looked like the 3 of you had a battle in the 2nd stint, which probably helped me pull a gap.
Next MiTo will be daytime. Haven't decided on track yet, perhaps Brand's Hatch short
It's undriveable in my tune, so I grabbed the Lancia Delta insteadThe MiTo is quite nice to use in the Daily Race A. Great to see you there, Grandpa! The Mini is a handful, isn't it?
