Speaking of the rain, I got the Alfa 155 yesterday since that was one of the cars I used a lot in GT2. Did the LM grind race where it did pretty good. It rained enough to bring the traction bar to the top third, but I tried staying on RH tires and only pitting for fuel (no tire change). Was able to maintain some kind of control, even with that much water on the surface. Built up a little over 2 minutes of a lead, and noticed that by the time I'd finish the 6th lap, I'd have exactly 2 minutes left. So I risked it and parked next to the finish line watching the guy wave the green flag for 2 minutes. Lol. AIs caught up, but decided to put just as the last second on the clock finished, and I crossed the line. Ended up being 5 seconds ahead of 2nd. LOL

Haha, yes I've played that wait out the clock thing several times but fortunately no close calls yet.

I saw the 155 in there, glad something cool popped up. Will definitely have to get in there and try it. Haven't been able to make time to play for a while.

Yeah, I kept the rear toes in 0.20.. which will get the rear out a bit more, but downforce to reduce to lost of traction plus shaving PP as well. But overall PP shaving that helped was the suspension & Trans.

Yeah, I just got back on yesterday from not being able to play for 2 days. Oddly enough, my daily ticket was a 5 star. Lol

Castrol Supra FTW. Its a beast. I use it for all GR.3 events because it has a ridiculous amount of downforce.

I used to use C.Supra until BRZ GT300 came long. Now, I don't use it as much anymore.

My go to now has been the R34 GT500. But the Castrol Supra was a monster and very fun to use.

I tried to use my R32 as much as I could until it just wasn't doable for endurance races or races where you would normally use GR4-GR3 cars. Its an absolute rocket. I think I've driving the R32 more than any other car.
