Just failed the F1 race, was up to 3rd with FM1 so pitted and went from RH to RS and there was so much traffic I couldn't get past so finished 9th. I'll have to check the difficulty I have it on.

PD having a big laugh. I won on my third start FM3 until lap 6 and then FM1 & FM2 for the final laps. Finished with .3 laps in the tank.

First race, I was up P6(on lap one!) until the exit of the third chicane, when I spun after a tank slapper. Thing is, AI were so slow(Hard difficulty). Braking way before the corners. I picked up four places before T1 with no touching. Then, each corner was more early braking by AI. That was soon to end.

Started the second attempt and AI weren’t having it. I spun again at the third chicane, on lap 6, but on worn tyres. Was only P9.

Last race had me up to P8 for the majority. The FM3 was killing me. AI pit with 23 second lead. I slotted between P1 and P2 as the AI exited the pits(didn’t realise the AI were on RS). I got the lead when AI slowed for the second chicane. From there, I was able to manage the gap each chicane the AI braked. Close finish.

Cr. 500,000 for my ticket

I thought this one was gonna be a lot harder for some reason. No stop on Mediums, BB-3 and TCS1, just shift at half bar to save the fuel.

Decent week it was.
Monza-I no shamed it and went straight to Easy. RM on FM3 for more than half then went to FM1. I was in 5th chasing Valerio on lap 7 when all four in front pitted. I was no -pitting so had a decent 3-4 second lead until took a pen at (of course) T1 and that got me scrambling. Got overtaken my Kylian after taking the pen but was able to hold on to second. I'm done. lol

Watkins Glen was my chance to showcase a livery I made for one of my Sierra Cosworths. I didn't have a decent suggested pp car so this was it at 647pp. Easy peasy.

HSR was my chance too to drive a van I haven't used yet. Modded Hi-Ace. It didn't have to guts on the straights to only placed 3rd. Went back and won it in my LC500.

Bit of squeaky bum time that last lap.

Some snaps post race of the weekly F3500 race, my video is on the other thread, I really liked that race, did it on RS tyres and had 1 pitstop and just ran out of fuel near the end. Very fun and engaging race.

I passed the event with the following setup (that normally I don't use at all, meaning much less control activated):

Difficult = Easy
TC = 5
ASM = On
Counter-steering assistance = Strong
Tyre = HARD
Fuel = 6 after 1 lap 5 and after one lap 4 and set 3 and only last lap 4 again

Strategy = no pit and hoping the others will do it.

2nd position and with some less mistake here and there could do 1st without big issues.

I think that I could start with fuel at 4 and kept till the end.

Thank you, I will give this a go later.
