i believe soFull lobby tonight?
I think stig said nearest 5 mins on lobby time. But yeah basically. Best bet is to just wait for instruction.And we start on specified lobby time?
You made my brain hurt with the that last sen10ceI'd just like to say, that race was fun, despite getting involved in one too many incidents.
It has to be said though, these cars feel like they are made out of paper with how easy everyone got damaged early on. Turn 1 at the start was really weird, where both Joe and I got damage even when it didn't look like we even made contact, and where I got damage on the entire left side and front aero just out of making contact with JC's sidepod into the chicane.
Also, that commentary was amazing. Although I think it's worth pointing that I'm actually not American, despite my PSN. I'm a Filipino living in Japan playing under an American PSN since third-world Philippines isn't a recognized region according to Sony
Lol sorry, just trying to not have people mistake me for an American when I'm not.You made my brain hurt with the that last sen10ce
HalfTheRaceGone on YouTube.From what I see in this post, the race was streamed. Where to find the stream?

Who ever left the race circuit plus re-joined without waiting in lap1 will be getting reviewed as that caused a lot of trouble and I seen a car goin flying off track due to the rejoin not sure if there was a pile up too though that incident.Well that was a very underwhelming experience.
I knew going in to the race that I’d struggle but I didn’t realise I’d struggle that much.
Haven’t used my dfgt in a long time so using the new wheel on the PS4 was a huge challenge. Having gotten it on Monday I tried to put as much time in as possible but it just wasn’t enough. I’m content completing the grid at the back and getting back in to the swing of things though.
A couple of things to say. Apologies to anyone who came across me on the final flying lap. I misunderstood the amount of hot laps and used lap 6 as a cool down lap. I know I ruined at least 2 hot laps so sorry for that.
And the second thing is that 1st lap. It was like driving into a roadblock on turn 1. I understand people wanted to be careful but that was just too much. Watching the replay, going into the Esses, a car had went off track and decided to rejoin without even a glimmer of attention to what was going on around them. This then caused another back up which I’m sure gave at least 3 cars damage including myself after I went from 15th to 11th.
If you’re off track, please pay attention to what’s around you. I’m not naming because, first race and all that and people are just happy to get going which I understand.
Then the refuelling which I think waike also commented on. The game tricking you into thinking you were fuelling for 30 laps but then only really fuelling for 14 wasn’t ideal so an unscheduled stop for me. I did have pace in places though. I was following cj after he lapped me and I managed to hang on to him on his used mediums, on my hards. Same went for when welsh passed me and I got to watch him spin out. I managed to keep with him for a good 6/7 laps if not more until he lost it.
Positives and negatives to be taken from it. The biggest is definitely loads of seat time this week although I hate Autopolis and can’t get any rhythm as I hate the constant high speed low speed change.
Filipino, but residing in Japan! Notes taken for next tuesday!Lol sorry, just trying to not have people mistake me for an American when I'm not.
A few of my mates were watching the stream and I had a blast watching it back on the way to work.Filipino, but residing in Japan! Notes taken for next tuesday!
Also thanks m8, i appreciate it!
I watched it while driving. Maybe I shouldn’t do that next week. But it’s nice to know what’s going onA few of my mates were watching the stream and I had a blast watching it back on the way to work.
I couldn't believe I sent it to the barrier too eager on the power I think as I knew my only chance was straight line speed.Couldn't wait for the season to start! I had a blast despite, disaster, incidents and the damage I had.
Before the race even began, my race was already compromised with way underfueling because we were going slow around the track and because I somehow shortshifted during the in-lap. It meant that I thought I was fueling for 29 laps, but in reality I only had 8 laps of fuel when we were going full speed. That's the reason I was flying around the first 8 laps.
I thought I had a nice clean getaway, which I did. Then saw @Neyrox (AC) kind of went wide because of a slower car. I just couldn't clear him in time, in which we made contact and I had a right wheel damage. I was hesitating in pitting already, but I had enough speed to continue and make progress, so I continued. I did a nice overtake on @GTWelsh around the outside into Spoon curve before pitting in lap 8, which demotes me back towards the back of the race.
The speed was there, but by preparing my attack on @RealJaySee I bumped into him going into Spoon as I was waiting to overtake on the exit onto the backstraight. Our entry speed diff was immense and it caught me off guard, which meant we both had damage. Sorry for that. So I pitted again and filled the lawnmower up to the end of the race, which wasn't the case as I still needed another 3-4 laps with 5 laps remaining as I was switching onto the RH compound.
Thought I had a large enough gap for the pitstop, but I exited when @fastnloud30 (VrsStig) was sailing by and we both wanted to enter T1 first, but that didn't work. wheel to wheel contact meant he was going wide off track. I waited for him to get back in front, because I thought that was just too unlucky for him to lose out like that. I hadn't used much of the overtake button the whole race and I fueled a little bit more, so I opened the engine up hunting down that RB monster.
At the last lap I tried the Kimi into T1, but too much speed meant I went a bit wide and off track. Last chance I thought was out of Spoon, but @fastnloud30 sent it into the barrier out of the hairpin, which was very unlucky for him!
6th after that amount of setbacks isn't too bad. Looking forward for more SF19 action!
Kudos on hosting @GTWelsh @fastnloud30 and the brilliant broadcast @Hasse R !
@WaikeCU , I think the contact was my fault, I braked earlier than usual. Didn't have much practice, I was still searching a little bit for the right entry speeds at the beginning of the race. That combined with a brainfart made me brake so early
Got it again in round 6all i have to say is, FRICK SUSAKI CIRCUIT!!!!!!
