Weekday 86 GT Spec Racing | Next Race Friday 9pm EST?

[CodeRedR51]

It's just not my style of racing, hasn't been in any race so far. To many cars to close, without enough power to make solid passes, combined with reverse grid.

I tried to stick it out, but every week so far come race time, I literally don't want to, and if it's not fun....
Nothing personal to anyone, just not my style.

Just curious, did you miss your braking point on the first lap of the second race, that caused you to go 4-wide into turn 8?

(sorry for double post, this needed to be separate from the results)

Jesus dude... 1:07.103

I understand your grief, but someone has to point out that Tsukuba is by far the dirtiest track. Small and narrow and usually resulting in more than a few close calls.

I think I was about 5 feet to late, full braking couldn't quite keep me from going up inside Forced inappropriately. (nothing implied there ) I couldn't really see my marker, and when Forced braked it was just a hair sooner then I expected.
It might just be me, it just seems like patience in these type of races means a sub-par finish, and impatience means dirtier-then-I-like-to-be better finishes.
I can't stand hitting other cars, and I can't stand being hit, when it's that close both usually end up happening.

It's just to much like racing in A-Spec for me, where if the rabbit car gets away while you're stuck in traffic, it's gone.

I'm more of a long-haul, tire wear planning-strategy type of racer.

Like I said, nothing personal to anyone, the series is fine, the drivers are top-notch, it's just not my bag of chips.
I very much wish everyone the best luck here, I know many love this type of racing, and there's nothing wrong with it, epic finishes will be abundant.

Didn't see forced all race 2. He wasn't even in my replay. Also wanted to apologize to BK for lap 10. I got I'm way too hard and just couldn't keep it off you. We had a nice little battle going though.

great battle, i had hardly enough time to practice with even having a practice room open all afternoon, was just really busy with some personal bs, no speed at all coming out of any corner is what it felt like for me, looking forward to next weeks clubman route 5 though.

Thanks for the explanation. I needed that, because looking at the replay gives you a whole different perspective.

Also regarding that racing on the first lap, carracer's 3-side move on the grass coming out of the Dunlop bridge was EPIC.

I turned right so I wouldn't rear end any cars, hoping I could stop in time.
Not a dive as I'm sure it appears.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Don't know if you have seen the replay, but that's exactly what it looks like. Hence my question.

I could tell while racing what it would look like, just wasn't much to do once I got in that deep.
Go left - impact Go straight - impact Go right - well, impact, but not as harsh.
