I agree with the difficulties of the warm-up lap. I´ll have to check, but I seem to remember there is a sectorline somewhere after that first righthander. If so , we could allow overtaking after passing that sectorline?

The results from last nights racing at Suzuka
1. Dragonistic
2. gator of kana
3. S4-marsh
4. turbonutter69
5. cobrius
6. ID_racing
7. aceboy127
Great racing everyone, the track was well suited for the car. And congrats to dragonistic who once again managed a very convincing win!
Personally I finally managed to dial out the understeer, and with some more finetuning and a lot more practice, I think this car can be a great drive.
I battled aceboy for most of the race, he was clearly faster on some parts of the track, where I was way to cautious, and he made fewer mistakes, but his tires seemed to wear out much faster.
Hope to see you all again after the summerbreak!

I never started with a 20 second gap though
, Fuji was particularly intense thanks to you . It's never over until the chequered flag flies, it only takes a spin onto the grass then another on the dirty tyres and 20 seconds is gone. Suzuka I definately felt more comfortable, the pressure was off and you guys were busy squabbling which left me to drive into the distance, Tokyo however those walls are always menacing when you could easily knock damage onto the car with the slightest error.

I tried to stay with you but lost it on the first lap just before the back straight.
Was hoping to draft you to keep up. lol

I knew that's exactly what you wanted to do, so my aim (which didn't change in either race) was to try to gap whoever was following enough to keep me safe come whatever was the first main straight hence the swerving to get a teeny bit of heat in the tyres and whatnot, anything to improve my chances of bolting. Meanwhile I've narrowed my prize choice down to 2 👍.

I was absolutely ragging the car just to keep up with you on the first race lap. Partly cold tyre's caught me out just before the back straight though.
My own fault for pushing too hard. I need to chillax a bit.
Seems i'm fast when following someone but over cautious when someone is following me.

Sounds like you got the same kind of issues that I had. Dragon had to literally lecture me for an hour straight not to get nervous when someone's tailgating me. I prefer doing the tailgating than being tailgated, had too many experiences where I get rear-ended just before a turn. I was actually glad I had some breathing room at some points on the track. Suzuka was the worst for me

It's not so much nervousness it's me being over cautious. I tend to brake a little earlier if I have someone behind me.
But when I'm behind someone else then I tend to brake a little later.
I'm like you I find it easier to follow someone than be followed.
My main problem is trying to hard. Need to relax abit and just get into the flow of the race.
