Yep, i think out of all the times I crashed, only one wasn't my fault. I kept losing the back end coming out of the banking of turn one. I was lucky not to collect anyone else as I was sliding down.

The Cobra was a pain at HSR. In 100% wet conditions, I was doing 1'22s. The car was also twitchy and snap-oversteer was very easy to get in T1 and the kink before the final turn. The tires also didn't last that long, after 8-10 laps the wear starts to feel noticeable and you have to start lifting in T1 (you always have to lift in the kink, even when the tires are at their best). But even when you lift, the car sometimes oversteers in that corner. I caught it most times, but not always and the results were disastrous.
So I tried the Camaro to see if it's any different. Immediately, it's much much easier to drive, just so much more grip in the corners. I was right away into the low 20s/high 19s, car should be even faster with low fuel. And best of all, not needing to lift in T1 or the kink, no pesky snap-oversteer and no tire wear to speak of (over 12 laps at least)! The Camaro is easier to drive in 100% wet than the Cobra is in the dry.
Anyway, I'm glad there won't be any wet races for a while. I'm also going to paint the cobra in an effort to try to avoid getting hit by protos. At HSR, I got hit by protos 3-4 times in quali and twice in the race (both caused damage, one light, the other heavy). Is it the red colour? It has to be. After also getting hit at Laguna Seca, I'm hoping this doesn't become a trend.

Can't use green. The proto drivers might mistake me for grass in that case.Fluorescent pink and green it is then. 👍
Might have to go for fluorescent pink with fluorescent yellow wheels.

What!?! In 30% I could only manage a 1'25.5 as my fastest! 1'27s were my average.

I could only manage 1'21s/22s as well. The thing is, I managed to keep it out of the barrier. Should I be surprised that my last 2 GTP wins were in wet conditions?

Looking forward to Le Mans, hopefully I won't be so attracted to the barriers this time. The start should be a laugh too.

Just going to publicly put this out...
I have to go by 10PM (10:20 ish at the very latest) and if Le Mans is 3 hours, then that will take it to 11PM.
If it was at 7:45 ish and 2 and a half hours long then I could race.

Not sure if I agree with rescheduling for a different day..
I can make it, but it's unfair for people who can't.
