Great angle. Awsome.You guys might be peasants, but you can certainly race! Fantastic result for half of the Nukeshot squad as Joe and Maarten took the 1-2, while myself and CJ were a bit less fortunate. If I actually had the time I would practice a bit more (or actually practice at all lol). Really enjoying this new experience. You guys are doing a fantastic job!

To add to this, race winner @DrifterJoe is a DualShock user. It does take a lot of getting used to if you come from a wheel background though, and vice versa

One to forget, but one that could have been so much more!
First of all congrats to @DrifterJoe and @MaarteN5H. Tremendous race!
The speed was there, practice was promising and I put in a lap, which put me .2s behind @DrifterJoe going into qualifying. I forgot I was on RH's, so I started quali on RH's, which compromised my position before quali even began.
I was thinking of starting the race on RH's just to get the slow tire out of the way in the beginning, so I didn't even got a lap that was worth a qualifying lap.
Then I bottled strategy wise as well. I went in after only 4 laps on RH's just to get the faster tire on quickly. Planning a 3-stops when everyone was going on a 1-stop? This was mental.
Add to that, when it all mattered at the latter stages and I was reeling in @Sam digby , I binned it, in which my strategy became a disastrous 4-stop.
Consolidation was a penultimate lap overtaking on my ex-employer @PSN offapple . (sorry Boss)
After forgetting the RH's in Suzuka and this shambolic strategy in Fuji, I must be punching myself!
Onto the next, if there will be a next...

I did a stint of RMs in practice to see when the car got to a point of no return on the pace... 20+laps before they were even close to dropping off to RH pace. You could get away with over 30 laps before they rolled over and died.

What I do is see how fast I can go on hards in practice, then then use that laptime as a rough estimate for when to change from my mediums in the race. It's normally around 2/3 race distance.
Good thing I made the extra stop to get fastest lap. I managed to beat waike to it by .113

Knowing that crossover is key to making late RH laps work. I tend to prefer the strong finish, but I messed up Lap 2 of quali so I ran my tyres into the 2nd phase, hoping I could break toe and catch a rhythmn once we went green.
Also, to the guys that were battling with me in the early phase, I could tell most of you had downforce coz you almost ran into the back of me in a number of corners.
I had min aero to max out the top end, which meant my braking zones were longer.Had to be smart with my defence; any time I was on the outside I made sure I went deeper and was the first to turn in, if I was on the inside I made sure to modulate the brakes to remain alongside or a nose ahead and dictate the room the outside had for turning in.
It’s just the Technique. I’ve lost it by the feel of things. Just not as fluid as I once was
It’s enfuriating because I was really quick in gt5 and gt6 on pad. I played a lot with welsh in gt5 so I don’t know if he can remember how quick I was! That’s what annoys me even more haha.

I do remember having a bit of a brainfart during the pit-stops in Q.. Wasn’t sure I’d accidentally fitted new rubbers, but turns out I did. Totally my mistake, sorry!

Jumpstart? I saw Green! in the chat, so I floored it...
Are the points added to my name, because I was @WhiteFlight1 's reserve?

I've done some combining of the points. I've dropped your round 1 points from when you ran separate, and merged WhiteFlights round 1 with your round 2 + 3.
It makes sense to me at least
Yes, it makes sense.
If I don't drive the Porsche as a reserve, then don't add the points in the standing. I'll then drive a race that doesn't count for the Championship.

When I state jump start I mean over took before the start line. Sorry for any confusion.

Sadly I seem to continue my 'having the pace but not taking home the points' streak in de TSR GT300 championship..
Luckily for me it was all self-induced, so there's only myself to blame. Plenty of work to be done still!
Shout-out to our new German friends DR_HASH and Halbstark093 for having the pace right up there in their first appearance this season (especially in an un-tuned Lambo)! Also to vrsStig for nailing his strategy once again and T5Black to have found himself right back into the top of the field. of course last-but-not-least to JoeOfTheFire for an untouchable performance once again (expect for some choreographed bump-drafting)!
Already looking forward to the Maggiore GP! Cheers

Great pleasure having you racing. That was one of my best races for a long time. I couldn't even drive the car 2 days before without spinning or crashing as had terrible snap steer through my wheel on fast direction changes, thank God with the fanatec bmw wheel I was able to tune the wheel to stop all of that. My foot is still shaking now off t1 abs vibration, 95kg pressure measured after cj slipstream
