Finally had decent races in MNR. GT3 at Zolder and GT4 at Spa. I don’t think I’ll do GT4 for a while yet, because I drove alone for the majority of the Spa race. There’s just too few GT4 pack owners. That said, there was about 4 laps of dicing, with someone else, and those 4 laps were stellar. The cars are much more forgiving, and frankly half the people driving GT3, made mash potatoes at Raidillon Lap 1. They should be driving a toddler walking ring, not going 3 abreast into the turn.
Nothing to see here… banked a qualy lap and then could not go any faster. Then had a sloppy race from 15th to 13th, then back to 15th. And then I lost server connectivity. When I rejoined, the car was too full, setup was on default and I was 3 laps down… Urgh.
Maybe next time
I had an Alonso kind of race… his virtual 24hr Le Mans race. A lagging Bentley caused utter chaos on the opening straight, cars wrecking all over the place, I dodged as much as I could but eventually got smashed. So that was a lengthy time in the pits. Then later while making my mandatory pit stop within the window, my pc froze and I had to reboot. Once I was back in the race it turned out that my mandatory pitstop wasn’t counted and so I had to pit AGAIN. So I was 4 laps down, but on the plus side I kept up well with the guys in 10th and 11th, eventually passing them (not that it made a difference) so I’m encouraged that if I have an incident free race (well the things you can’t control at least) I might be able to crack top 10.
So who all is taking on the 90 minutes of Misano tonight. I have never driven that track so I wonder if I’m ready, especially for 90 minutes. But I suppose that 90 minutes will be a 90 minute practice session for me then XD
Not for me tonight. I’ll Jin tomorrow in the AC league but I’ve also never driver Misano, I don’t even know how the track looks like, let alone where to brake and turn
Definitely needed the practice for Thursday’s RaceFace at Misano though. It’s not an easy track. And it’s really easy to miss your braking point or confuse which corner is coming up in the dark (as they’re doing a night race).
I had a great race, except for that one idiot, that seemed to give a lot of other people problems with his lack of track awareness. As with all tracks, Misano grew on me. 7th in AM race. Not too shabby nige
Hahaha that was the moment when @oltman’s stream became Rated 18. If anyone has not heard @aldyr absolutely lose his shit before. Watch @oltman’s stream from last night and wait for(or skip to) lap 32/33.
I enjoyed the race despite being super unprepared, never drove Misano in any game in my life before. Qualifying was literally practice for me. But managed a decent 17th place. Glad I did the race. But yooooh, I was tired AF after that.
